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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
