Leveraging Comprehensive Health Records for Breast Cancer Risk Prediction: A Binational Assessment.

Breast cancer (BC) risk models based on electronic health records (EHR) can assist physicians in estimating the probability of an individual with certain risk factors to develop BC in the future. In this retrospective study, we used clinical data combined with machine learning tools to assess the utility of a personalized BC risk model on 13,786 Israeli and 1,695 American women who underwent screening mammography in the years 2012-2018 and 2008-2018, respectively. Clinical features were extracted from EHR, personal questionnaires, and past radiologists' reports.

Artificial Intelligence for Reducing Workload in Breast Cancer Screening with Digital Breast Tomosynthesis.

Background Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has higher diagnostic accuracy than digital mammography, but interpretation time is substantially longer. Artificial intelligence (AI) could improve reading efficiency. Purpose To evaluate the use of AI to reduce workload by filtering out normal DBT screens.

ExpaRNA-P: simultaneous exact pattern matching and folding of RNAs.

Background: Identifying sequence-structure motifs common to two RNAs can speed up the comparison of structural RNAs substantially. The core algorithm of the existent approach ExpaRNA solves this problem for a priori known input structures. However, such structures are rarely known; moreover, predicting them computationally is no rescue, since single sequence structure prediction is highly unreliable.

Local Exact Pattern Matching for Non-Fixed RNA Structures.

Detecting local common sequence-structure regions of RNAs is a biologically important problem. Detecting such regions allows biologists to identify functionally relevant similarities between the inspected molecules. We developed dynamic programming algorithms for finding common structure-sequence patterns between two RNAs.
