(1) Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) can cause blindness. Current guidelines on diabetic eye care recommend more frequent eye examinations for more severe DR to prevent deterioration. However, close follow-up and early intervention at earlier st...
A promise of genomics in precision medicine is to provide individualized genetic risk predictions. Polygenic risk scores (PRS), computed by aggregating effects from many genomic variants, have been developed as a useful tool in complex disease resear...
AIMS: This research work presented a comparative study of machine learning (ML), including two objectives: (i) determination of the risk factors of diabetic nephropathy (DN) based on principal component analysis (PCA) via different cutoffs; (ii) pred...
Physical inactivity increases the risk of many adverse health conditions, including the world's major non-communicable diseases, such as coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and breast and colon cancers, shortening life expectancy. There are mini...
This study investigated the diagnostic performance, feasibility, and end-user experiences of an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening model in real-world Australian healthcare settings. The study consisted of two c...
