Introduction: The integration of AI into healthcare is widely anticipated to revolutionize medical diagnostics, enabling earlier, more accurate disease detection and personalized care.
Methods: In this study, we developed and validated an AI-assisted diagnostic support tool using only routinely ordered and broadly available blood tests to predict the presence of major chronic and acute diseases as well as rare disorders.
Results: Our model was tested on both retrospective and prospective datasets comprising over one million patients.
Cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Hypertension is a preventable risk factor leading to major cardiovascular events. We have not found a comprehensive study investigating Central and Eastern European hypertensive patients' complex metabolic status.

The global prevalence of childhood hypertension is increasing, yet its investigation has been rather sporadic in Eastern Europe. Therefore, our goal was to determine the prevalence of childhood hypertension and its concomitant metabolic abnormalities using data mining methods.

We aimed to identify FCS patients using either the FCS score proposed by Moulin et al. or with data mining, and assessed the diagnostic applicability of the FCS score.

Previous studies have shown that high lipoprotein(a)- Lp(a) levels are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic vascular diseases in patients with FH. We aimed to assess the associations of serum Lp(a) levels and such vascular diseases in FH using data mining methods and machine learning techniques in the Northern Great Plain region of Hungary.

In order to build recommender systems, organizations log the item consumption in their user sessions by using different sensors. For instance, Web sites use Web data loggers, museums and shopping centers rely on user in-door positioning systems to register user movement, and Location-Based Social Networks use Global Positioning System for out-door user tracking.

Previous data indicated that the heterozygous form occurred in 1:250 people. Based on these reports, around 36,000-40,000 people are estimated to have FH in Hungary, however, there are no exact data about the frequency of the disease in our country.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAgeing has a huge impact on human health and economy, but its molecular basis - regulation and mechanism - is still poorly understood. By today, more than three hundred genes (almost all of them function as protein-coding genes) have been related to human ageing. Although individual ageing-related genes or some small subsets of these genes have been intensively studied, their analysis as a whole has been highly limited.

From ZL, we estimated airway resistance (R(aw)) and inertance (Iaw) and tissue viscance (GL) and elastance (HL).

The forced oscillation and alveolar capsule techniques were applied to determine the input impedance of the lungs and the airway transfer impedances between 0.2 and 20 Hz in six open-chest dogs in the control state, during intravenous infusion of histamine at seven rates between 0.25 and 16 micrograms.

In five open-chest dogs and with four to five alveolar capsules we used an optimal ventilator waveform (OVW) to follow frequency and tidal volume (VT) dependence of lung, airway, and tissue resistance (R) and elastance (E) before and during constant infusion of histamine (16 micrograms.kg-1.min-1).

CO values determined at end-expiratory apnoea with hand-calculation (ICG1) and during several respiratory cycles with a computer program (ICG2) were compared with values obtained via simultaneous thermodilution (TD) measurements. Changes in CO during isoproterenol infusion, bleeding and reinfusion were also studied by means of ICG1, using one of the spot electrode arrays and TD.

In the paper the equation of motion of the small amplitude transverse forced vibration of a radially prestressed and circularly clamped thin membrane has been developed. The material of the membrane is considered to be homogeneous, isotropic, incompressible and viscoelastic. From the analytical solution of this equation the incremental mechanical impedance of the membrane was derived as a function of frequency, geometrical parameters and incremental viscoelastic coefficients of the material.

A technique which does not require the measurement of strain has been developed for the investigation of the incremental dynamic properties of soft tissue sheets. Radially prestressed and circularly clamped canine diaphragm samples were exposed to small-amplitude pseudorandom pressure variations. From the measurement of these pressure variations and the volume flow caused by the vibration of the membrane the incremental mechanical impedance spectrum was computed in the 0.

Spontaneous breathing may impair the reliability of forced oscillatory impedance estimates at low frequencies, especially when the oscillatory power is distributed among many frequency values. Since the amplitude of the external forcing is limited to avoid non-linearities, it is suggested that the total energy of a composite electrical signal driving the loudspeaker be maximized at a given amplitude by finding the optimum phase relationships of the signal components, and that the low-frequency components increase in energy at the expense of the less disturbed high-frequency region. In healthy children and adults and in obstructed patients, the coherences and the coefficients of variation of the respiratory system impedance (Zrs) at 2 and 3 Hz were studied in the case of three test signals of 2-15 Hz bandwidth.

Respiratory mechanical impedances were determined during voluntary apnea in five healthy subjects, by means of 0.25- to 5-Hz pseudo/random oscillations applied at the mouth. The total respiratory impedance was partitioned into pulmonary (ZL) and chest wall components with the esophageal balloon technique; corrections were made for the upper airway shunt impedance and the compressibility of alveolar gas.
