Dietary antioxidants and 10-year lung function decline in adults from the ECRHS survey.

The European respiratory journal
The relationship between lung function decline and dietary antioxidants over 10 years in adults from three European countries was investigated.In 2002, adults from three participating countries of the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECR...

Construction of a 26‑feature gene support vector machine classifier for smoking and non‑smoking lung adenocarcinoma sample classification.

Molecular medicine reports
The present study aimed to identify the feature genes associated with smoking in lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) samples and explore the underlying mechanism. Three gene expression datasets of LAC samples were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus da...

Evaluation of genotoxic effects in Brazilian agricultural workers exposed to pesticides and cigarette smoke using machine-learning algorithms.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Monitoring exposure to xenobiotics by biomarker analyses, such as a micronucleus assay, is extremely important for the precocious detection and prevention of diseases, such as oral cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate genotoxic effects in ru...

Cardiovascular events in patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion: analysis with artificial neural networks.

European journal of endocrinology
BACKGROUND: The independent role of mild autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) in influencing the cardiovascular event (CVE) occurrence is a topic of interest. We investigated the role of mild ACS in the CVE occurrence in patients with adrenal incident...

Quantitative analysis of menthol in human urine using solid phase microextraction and stable isotope dilution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Journal of chromatography. B, Analytical technologies in the biomedical and life sciences
To accurately measure menthol levels in human urine, we developed a method using gas chromatography/electron ionization mass spectrometry with menthol-d stable isotope internal standardization. We used solid phase microextraction (SPME) headspace sam...

High-throughput and sensitive analysis of urinary heterocyclic aromatic amines using isotope-dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and robotic sample preparation system.

Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry
Heterocyclic aromatic amines (HCAA) are listed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as harmful or potentially harmful constituents of tobacco smoke. However, quantifying HCAA exposure is challenging. In this study, we developed a sensitive, p...

Classifying smoking urges via machine learning.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Smoking is the largest preventable cause of death and diseases in the developed world, and advances in modern electronics and machine learning can help us deliver real-time intervention to smokers in novel ways. In this pape...

The effect of preprocessing pipelines in subject classification and detection of abnormal resting state functional network connectivity using group ICA.

NeuroImage
Resting state functional network connectivity (rsFNC) derived from functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) imaging is emerging as a possible biomarker to identify several brain disorders. Recently it has been pointed out that methods used to preprocess ...
