Outpatient clinical notes are a rich source of information regarding drug safety. However, data in these notes are currently underutilized for pharmacovigilance due to methodological limitations in text mining. Large language models (LLMs) like Bidir...
Efforts at finding potential biomarkers of tolerance after kidney transplantation have been hindered by limited sample size, as well as the complicated mechanisms underlying tolerance and the potential risk of rejection after immunosuppressant withdr...

Therapeutic drug monitoring of mycophenolic acid (MPA) based on area under the curve (AUC) is well-established and machine learning (ML) approaches could help to estimate AUC. The aim of this work is to estimate the AUC of MPA in organ transplant pat...
We previously demonstrated that Machine learning (ML) algorithms can accurately estimate drug area under the curve (AUC) of tacrolimus or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) based on limited information, as well as or even better than maximum a posteriori Ba...
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the nervous system, which is still incurable. In recent years, with the progress of immunosuppressive and supportive treatment, the therapeutic effect of MG in the acute stage is satisfactory,...

The aim of this work is to estimate the area-under the blood concentration curve of tacrolimus (TAC) following b.i.d. or q.d. dosing in organ transplant patients, using Xgboost machine learning (ML) models. A total of 4,997 and 1,452 TAC interdose ar...
OBJECTIVE: The Scleroderma: Cyclophosphamide or Transplantation (SCOT) trial demonstrated clinical benefit of haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) compared with cyclophosphamide (CYC). We mapped PBC (peripheral blood cell) samples from the SCOT...
Allele specific antibody response against the polymorphic system of HLA is the allogeneic response marker determining the immunological risk for graft acceptance before and after organ transplantation and therefore routinely studied during the patien...
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease. In recent years, considerable evidence has indicated that Gene Ontology (GO) functions, especially GO-biological processes, have important effects on the mechanisms and treatments of different diseases...
