Novel biomarker genes which distinguish between smokers and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with machine learning approach.

BMC pulmonary medicine
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is combination of progressive lung diseases. The diagnosis of COPD is generally based on the pulmonary function testing, however, difficulties underlie in prognosis of smokers or early stage of...

Predictors of adherence to nicotine replacement therapy: Machine learning evidence that perceived need predicts medication use.

Drug and alcohol dependence
BACKGROUND: Nonadherence to smoking cessation medication is a frequent problem. Identifying pre-quit predictors of nonadherence may help explain nonadherence and suggest tailored interventions to address it.

Blood Biochemistry Analysis to Detect Smoking Status and Quantify Accelerated Aging in Smokers.

Scientific reports
There is an association between smoking and cancer, cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. However, currently, there are no affordable and informative tests for assessing the effects of smoking on the rate of biological aging. In this study ...

Comparison of TSNAs concentration in saliva according to type of tobacco smoked.

Environmental research
OBJECTIVE: To compare tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) measured in saliva according to different types of tobacco smoked in a sample of smokers of the city of Barcelona (Spain).

Identification of Novel Genes in Human Airway Epithelial Cells associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) using Machine-Based Learning Algorithms.

Scientific reports
The aim of this project was to identify candidate novel therapeutic targets to facilitate the treatment of COPD using machine-based learning (ML) algorithms and penalized regression models. In this study, 59 healthy smokers, 53 healthy non-smokers an...

Support vector machine based classification of smokers and nonsmokers using diffusion tensor imaging.

Brain imaging and behavior
Despite significant progress in treatments for smoking cessation, smoking continues to be a significant public health concern, especially in young adulthood. Thus, developing a predictive model that can classify and characterize the brain-based bioma...

Using Elastic Net Penalized Cox Proportional Hazards Regression to Identify Predictors of Imminent Smoking Lapse.

Nicotine & tobacco research : official journal of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco
INTRODUCTION: Machine learning algorithms such as elastic net regression and backward selection provide a unique and powerful approach to model building given a set of psychosocial predictors of smoking lapse measured repeatedly via ecological moment...
