Evolutionary biologists frequently wish to measure the fitness of alternative phenotypes using behavioral experiments. However, many phenotypes are complex. One example is coloration: camouflage aims to make detection harder, while conspicuous signal...
BACKGROUND: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a major safety concern characterized by a complex and diverse pathogenesis. In order to identify DILI early in drug development, a better understanding of the injury and models with better predictivity ...
Mathematical equations are often used to model biological processes. However, for many systems, determining analytically the underlying equations is highly challenging due to the complexity and unknown factors involved in the biological processes. In...
To construct a machine learning algorithm model of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with poorly differentiated-type intramucosal gastric cancer. 1169 patients with postoperative gastric cancer were divided into a training group and a test grou...
The aim of this study was to develop a predictive model of pediatric mortality in the early stages of intensive care unit (ICU) admission using machine learning. Patients less than 18 years old who were admitted to ICUs at four tertiary referral hosp...
BACKGROUND: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an adverse reaction caused by the intake of drugs of common use that produces liver damage. The impact of DILI is estimated to affect around 20 in 100,000 inhabitants worldwide each year. Despite being ...
BACKGROUND: No large dataset-derived standard has been established for normal or pathologic human cerebral ventricular and cranial vault volumes. Automated volumetric measurements could be used to assist in diagnosis and follow-up of hydrocephalus or...

Adequate empirical antimicrobial coverage is instrumental in clinical management of community-onset Enterobacteriaceae bacteraemia in areas with high ESBL prevalence, while balancing the risk of carbapenem overuse and emergence of carbapenem-resistan...
Real-time reverse transcription (RT) PCR is the gold standard for detecting Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), owing to its sensitivity and specificity, thereby meeting the demand for the rising number of cases. The scarcit...
