Development and validation of multivariable machine learning algorithms to predict risk of cancer in symptomatic patients referred urgently from primary care: a diagnostic accuracy study.

Objectives: To develop and validate tests to assess the risk of any cancer for patients referred to the NHS Urgent Suspected Cancer (2-week wait, 2WW) clinical pathways.

Setting: Primary and secondary care, one participating regional centre.

Participants: Retrospective analysis of data from 371 799 consecutive 2WW referrals in the Leeds region from 2011 to 2019.

Who perceived automation as a threat to their jobs in metro Atlanta: Results from the 2019 Metro Atlanta Speaks survey.

While ethnic minorities, less-educated or less-skilled workers, and low-income workers are, in general, deemed more vulnerable to automation, the literature has not adequately investigated whether or not these sociodemographic groups perceive automation as a threat to their jobs. Using the 2019 Metro Atlanta Speaks survey, we find that high-income residents and residents with a graduate or a professional degree did not perceive automation as a threat to their jobs, but relatively older residents, blacks or African Americans, and low-income residents perceived automation as a threat to their jobs. Although Hispanics or Latinos and less-educated residents are identified to be more vulnerable to automation, they did not perceive automation as a threat to their jobs.

A simple breath test for tuberculosis using ion mobility: A pilot study.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world's major health burdens with 9.6 million new infections globally. Though considerable progress has been made in reduction of TB incidence and mortality, there is a continuous need for lower cost, simpler and more robust means of diagnosis.

Non-invasive exhaled volatile organic biomarker analysis to detect inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Introduction: Early inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) diagnosis remains a clinical challenge. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have shown distinct patterns in Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). VOC production, reflecting gut fermentome metabolites, is perturbed in IBD.
