This study aims to apply a multi-modal approach of the deep learning method for survival prediction in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using CT-based radiomics. We utilized two public data sets from the Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) comprising NSCLC patients, 420 patients and 516 patients for Lung 1 training and Lung 2 testing, respectively. A 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) survival was applied to extract 256 deep-radiomics features for each patient from a CT scan.

Diabetes management is often complicated by comorbidities, requiring complex medication regimens that increase the risk of drug-drug interactions (DDIs), potentially compromising treatment outcomes or causing toxicity. Although machine learning (ML) models have made strides in DDI prediction, existing approaches lack specificity for oral diabetes medications and face challenges in interpretability. To address these limitations, we propose a novel ML-based framework utilizing the Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES) to encode structural information of oral diabetes drugs.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to validate the Brussels Infant and Toddler Stool Scale (BITSS) for diagnosing functional constipation (FC) in infants and toddlers, particularly in Asian populations, since the current standard (Bristol Stool Scale or BSS) is deemed unsuitable for young kids.* -
  • Researchers assessed stool properties of 370 children aged 0-48 months using BITSS, BSS, and caregiver reports, finding high concordance rates and sensitivity, indicating BITSS is more effective than BSS in detecting hard stools and FC.* -
  • The findings suggest that BITSS is a better tool for early detection of FC in young children, recommending its use over BSS for evaluating stool consistency globally, especially in Vietnam.*

In current genomic research, the widely used methods for predicting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) often rely on prior knowledge of known AMR genes or reference genomes. However, these methods have limitations, potentially resulting in imprecise predictions owing to incomplete coverage of AMR mechanisms and genetic variations. To overcome these limitations, we propose a pan-genome-based machine learning approach to advance our understanding of AMR gene repertoires and uncover possible feature sets for precise AMR classification.

Recurrences are frequent in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) despite high remission rates with treatment, leading to considerable morbidity. This study aimed to develop a prediction model for NPC survival by harnessing both pre- and post-treatment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics in conjunction with clinical data, focusing on 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) as the primary outcome. Our comprehensive approach involved retrospective clinical and MRI data collection of 276 eligible NPC patients from three independent hospitals (180 in the training cohort, 46 in the validation cohort, and 50 in the external cohort) who underwent MRI scans twice, once within 2 months prior to treatment and once within 10 months after treatment.

Accurately predicting tumor T-cell antigen (TTCA) sequences is a crucial task in the development of cancer vaccines and immunotherapies. TTCAs derived from tumor cells, are presented to immune cells (T cells) through major histocompatibility complex (MHC), via the recognition of specific portions of their structure known as epitopes. More specifically, MHC class I introduces TTCAs to T-cell receptors (TCR) which are located on the surface of CD8+ T cells.
