OBJECTIVE: This preliminary study tested whether non-invasive, remote Elastic Scattering Spectroscopy (ESS) measurements obtained in the oral cavity can be used as a proxy to accurately differentiate between patients with laryngeal cancer versus lary...
PURPOSE: To evaluate various supervised machine learning (ML) statistical models to predict anatomical outcomes after macular hole (MH) surgery using preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) features.
The proper use of model evaluation metrics is important for model evaluation and model selection in binary classification tasks. This study investigates how consistent different metrics are at evaluating models across data of different prevalence whi...

Network intrusion detection (NID) is an effective manner to guarantee the security of cyberspace. However, the scale of normal network traffic is much larger than intrusion traffic (i.e., appearing data imbalance problem), which leads to the training...
The lack of high-resolution, long-term PM observations in Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean hampers the development of spatial models that are crucial for providing representative exposure estimates to health studies. This work presents a spatial ...

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease prevalent worldwide, requiring a multifaceted analytical approach to improve early detection and subsequent mitigation of morbidity and mortality rates. This research aimed to develop an explain...
In applications such as biomedical studies, epidemiology, and social sciences, recurrent events often co-occur with longitudinal measurements and a terminal event, such as death. Therefore, jointly modeling longitudinal measurements, recurrent events...
BACKGROUND: Snakebite envenoming is a serious condition that affects 2.5 million people and causes 81,000-138,000 deaths every year, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. The World Health Organization has set a goal to halve the deaths an...
