Alzheimer's disease is the most common age-related problem and progresses in different stages, from cognitively normal to early mild cognitive impairment, and severe dementia. This study investigates the predictive potential of resting-state function...
BACKGROUND: Inflammatory response and the coagulation system are pivotal in the pathogenesis of clinical deterioration in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), prompting us to hypothesize that the systemic coagulation-inflammation (SCI) index...
COPD exacerbations have a profound clinical impact on patients. Accurately predicting these events could help healthcare professionals take proactive measures to mitigate their impact. For over a decade, telEPOC, a telehealthcare program, has collect...
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that significantly impacts health care worldwide, particularly among the elderly population. The accurate classification of AD stages is essential for slowing disease progression an...

While numerous studies strive to exploit the complementary potential of MRI and PET using learning-based methods, the effective fusion of the two modalities remains a tricky problem due to their inherently distinctive properties. In addition, current...
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and mammalian visual systems share architectural and information processing similarities. We leverage these parallels to develop an in-silico CNN model simulating diseases affecting the visual system. This model a...

BACKGROUND: AI-aided home stethoscopes offer the opportunity of continuous remote monitoring of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, reducing the need for clinic visits.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic lung condition characterized by airflow obstruction. Current diagnostic methods primarily rely on identifying prominent features in spirometry (Volume-Flow time series) to detect COPD, but the...
BACKGROUND: Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) appears as a rash in some individuals who have recovered from visceral leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania donovani. Today, basic knowledge of this neglected disease and how to predict its progres...
IMPORTANCE: The diagnosis of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder is often delayed several years despite illness typically emerging in late adolescence or early adulthood, which impedes initiation of targeted treatment.
