Development and validation of a machine learning model for predicting vulnerable carotid plaques using routine blood biomarkers and derived indicators: insights into sex-related risk patterns.

Cardiovascular diabetology
BACKGROUND: Early detection of vulnerable carotid plaques is critical for stroke prevention. This study aimed to develop a machine learning model based on routine blood tests and derived indices to predict plaque vulnerability and assess sex-specific...

AI-Assisted identification of sex-specific patterns in diabetic retinopathy using retinal fundus images.

PloS one
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular complication of diabetes that can lead to blindness if left untreated. Regular monitoring is crucial for detecting early signs of referable DR, and the progression to moderate to severe non-proliferative D...

Toward a fair, gender-debiased classifier for the diagnosis of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder- a Machine-Learning based classification study.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder. Gender disparities in the diagnosis of ADHD have been reported, suggesting that females tend to be diagnosed later in life than males are. The...

Differential Analysis of Age, Gender, Race, Sentiment, and Emotion in Substance Use Discourse on Twitter During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Natural Language Processing Approach.

JMIR infodemiology
BACKGROUND: User demographics are often hidden in social media data due to privacy concerns. However, demographic information on substance use (SU) can provide valuable insights, allowing public health policy makers to focus on specific cohorts and d...

Gender difference in cross-sectional area and fat infiltration of thigh muscles in the elderly population on MRI: an AI-based analysis.

European radiology experimental
BACKGROUND: Aging alters musculoskeletal structure and function, affecting muscle mass, composition, and strength, increasing the risk of falls and loss of independence in older adults. This study assessed cross-sectional area (CSA) and fat infiltrat...

Physiological serum uric acid concentrations correlate with arterial stiffness in a sex-dependent manner.

BMC medicine
BACKGROUND: In humans, uric acid is a product of purine metabolism that impacts the vascular system. In addition to effects on arterial vascular tone, associations between serum uric acid concentrations-even in the physiological range-and arterial hy...

AI-based CT assessment of 3117 vertebrae reveals significant sex-specific vertebral height differences.

Scientific reports
Predicting vertebral height is complex due to individual factors. AI-based medical imaging analysis offers new opportunities for vertebral assessment. Thereby, these novel methods may contribute to sex-adapted nomograms and vertebral height predictio...

Moral judgments in online discourse are not biased by gender.

Scientific reports
The interaction between social norms and gender roles prescribes gender-specific behaviors that influence moral judgments. While previous work has demonstrated the existence of gender-bias in judgments, these studies are mainly based on controlled ex...

A supervised machine learning approach with feature selection for sex-specific biomarker prediction.

NPJ systems biology and applications
Biomarkers are crucial in aiding in disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment selection. Machine learning (ML) has emerged as an effective tool for identifying novel biomarkers and enhancing predictive modelling. However, sex-based bias in ML algor...

Improving a data mining based diagnostic support tool for rare diseases on the example of M. Fabry: Gender differences need to be taken into account.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Rare diseases often present with a variety of clinical symptoms and therefore are challenging to diagnose. Fabry disease is an x-linked rare metabolic disorder. The severity of symptoms is usually different in men and women. Since therape...
