Clinical impact of fine particulate matter (PM) air pollution on incident atrial fibrillation (AF) had not been well studied. We used integrated machine learning (ML) to build several incident AF prediction models that include average hourly measurem...
Predictive models are central to both archaeological research and cultural resource management. Yet, archaeological applications of predictive models are often insufficient due to small training data sets, inadequate statistical techniques, and a lac...
BACKGROUND: An estimated 425 million people globally have diabetes, accounting for 12% of the world's health expenditures, and the number continues to grow, placing a huge burden on the healthcare system, especially in those remote, underserved areas...

Epilepsy is a chronic disease caused by sudden abnormal discharge of brain neurons, causing transient brain dysfunction. The seizures of epilepsy have the characteristics of being sudden and repetitive, which has seriously endangered patients' health...
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 was divided into two subgroups by eGFR (45 mL/ min 1.73 m). There is difference in prevalence of CKD, racial differences, economic development, genetic, and environmental backgrounds between China and ...

Deep learning techniques are commonly used to process large amounts of data, and good results are obtained in many applications. Those methods, however, can lead to long training times. An alternative to simultaneously tune all parameters of a large ...
Cross-scanner and cross-protocol variability of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) data are known to be major obstacles in multi-site clinical studies since they limit the ability to aggregate dMRI data and derived measures. Computational al...
We aimed to develop machine learning models to accurately predict bronchiolitis severity, and to compare their predictive performance with a conventional scoring (reference) model. In a 17-center prospective study of infants (aged < 1 year) hospitali...
