Development and validation of a machine learning model for central compartmental lymph node metastasis in solitary papillary thyroid microcarcinoma via ultrasound imaging features and clinical parameters.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is the most common malignant subtype of thyroid cancer. Preoperative assessment of the risk of central compartment lymph node metastasis (CCLNM) can provide scientific support for personalized treat...

AI-driven analysis by identifying risk factors of VL relapse in HIV co-infected patients.

Scientific reports
Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL), also known as Kala-Azar, poses a significant global public health challenge and is a neglected disease, with relapses and treatment failures leading to increased morbidity and mortality. This study introduces an explainab...

Machine learning and transformer models for prediction of postoperative pneumonia risk in patients with lower limb fractures.

Scientific reports
Postoperative pneumonia, a prevalent complication arising from lower limb fracture surgery, can significantly prolong hospitalization periods and elevate mortality rates. Consequently, early prevention and identification of this condition are crucial...

Mitochondrial haplogroup A2 is associated with increased COVID-19 mortality in an admixed Brazilian population.

Scientific reports
Mitochondria play a crucial role in cellular respiration and immune responses. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups and variants have been associated with various diseases, including COVID-19. This study analyzed complete mtDNA sequences from 467 Br...

Developed a knowledge base of risk factors for postoperative cognitive dysfunction: a retrospective database study.

Scientific reports
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), a heterogeneous spectrum of surgery/anesthesia-associated neurocognitive impairments, represents a critical clinical challenge due to its associations with prolonged hospitalization, increased mortality, an...

Proteomic risk scores for predicting common diseases using linear and neural network models in the UK biobank.

Scientific reports
Plasma proteomics provides a unique opportunity to enhance disease prediction by capturing protein expression patterns linked to diverse pathological processes. Leveraging data from 2,923 proteins measured in 53,030 UK Biobank participants, we develo...

Modeling the prediction of spontaneous rupture and bleeding in hepatocellular carcinoma via machine learning algorithms.

Scientific reports
This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with spontaneous rupture and bleeding in hepatocellular carcinoma, establish a prediction model for spontaneous rupture bleeding via a machine learning algorithm, and validate and evaluate the ...

Establishment of a machine learning-based predictive model with dual-center external validation: investigating the role of robotic surgery in preventing delayed gastric emptying for right-sided colon cancer.

Journal of robotic surgery
After colorectal surgery, delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a clinically significant postoperative complication that significantly lowers patients' quality of life. The evolving application of robotic surgery in gastrointestinal oncology continues to...

Advances in risk prediction models for Glaucoma: An updated narrative review.

Experimental eye research
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness and is characterized by optic nerve atrophy and progressive visual field loss. Risk prediction models are crucial for early screening and personalized treatment by identifying high-risk individual...

Screening of Glaucoma in High-Risk Minority Populations.

Journal of glaucoma
PRECIS: This chapter reviews the current recommendations on screening for open angle glaucoma in Black and Hispanic populations. Strategies for increasing case-finding and decreasing cost, with emphasis on evolving technologies, are presented.
