Development and validation of a machine learning model for predicting drug-drug interactions with oral diabetes medications.

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.

A transfer learning approach on MRI-based radiomics signature for overall survival prediction of low-grade and high-grade gliomas.

Lower-grade gliomas (LGG) can eventually progress to glioblastoma (GBM) and death. In the context of the transfer learning approach, we aimed to train and test an MRI-based radiomics model for predicting survival in GBM patients and validate it in LGG patients. From each patient's 704 MRI-based radiomics features, we chose seventeen optimal radiomics signatures in the GBM training set (n = 71) and used these features in both the GBM testing set (n = 31) and LGG validation set (n = 107) for further analysis.

Development and Validation of an Explainable Machine Learning-Based Prediction Model for Drug-Food Interactions from Chemical Structures.

Possible drug-food constituent interactions (DFIs) could change the intended efficiency of particular therapeutics in medical practice. The increasing number of multiple-drug prescriptions leads to the rise of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and DFIs. These adverse interactions lead to other implications, e.

Development and Validation of CT-Based Radiomics Signature for Overall Survival Prediction in Multi-organ Cancer.

The malignant tumors in nature share some common morphological characteristics. Radiomics is not only images but also data; we think that a probability exists in a set of radiomics signatures extracted from CT scan images of one cancer tumor in one specific organ also be utilized for overall survival prediction in different types of cancers in different organs. The retrospective study enrolled four data sets of cancer patients in three different organs (420, 157, 137, and 191 patients for lung 1 training, lung 2 testing, and two external validation set: kidney and head and neck, respectively).

An interpretable deep learning model for classifying adaptor protein complexes from sequence information.

Adaptor proteins (APs) are a family of proteins that aids in intracellular membrane trafficking, and their impairments or defects are closely related to various disorders. Traditional methods to identify and classify APs require time and complex techniques, which were then advanced by machine learning and computational approaches to facilitate the APs recognition task. However, most studies focused on recognizing separate ones in the APs family or the APs in general with non-APs, lacking one comprehensive strategy to distinguish the complexes of AP subtypes.

Identifying SNARE Proteins Using an Alignment-Free Method Based on Multiscan Convolutional Neural Network and PSSM Profiles.

: SNARE proteins play a vital role in membrane fusion and cellular physiology and pathological processes. Many potential therapeutics for mental diseases or even cancer based on SNAREs are also developed. Therefore, there is a dire need to predict the SNAREs for further manipulation of these essential proteins, which demands new and efficient approaches.

On the road to explainable AI in drug-drug interactions prediction: A systematic review.

Over the past decade, polypharmacy instances have been common in multi-diseases treatment. However, unwanted drug-drug interactions (DDIs) that might cause unexpected adverse drug events (ADEs) in multiple regimens therapy remain a significant issue. Since artificial intelligence (AI) is ubiquitous today, many AI prediction models have been developed to predict DDIs to support clinicians in pharmacotherapy-related decisions.

Development and Validation of an Efficient MRI Radiomics Signature for Improving the Predictive Performance of 1p/19q Co-Deletion in Lower-Grade Gliomas.

The prognosis and treatment plans for patients diagnosed with low-grade gliomas (LGGs) may significantly be improved if there is evidence of chromosome 1p/19q co-deletion mutation. Many studies proved that the codeletion status of 1p/19q enhances the sensitivity of the tumor to different types of therapeutics. However, the current clinical gold standard of detecting this chromosomal mutation remains invasive and poses implicit risks to patients.

Machine Learning-Based Radiomics Signatures for EGFR and KRAS Mutations Prediction in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.

Early identification of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutations is crucial for selecting a therapeutic strategy for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We proposed a machine learning-based model for feature selection and prediction of EGFR and KRAS mutations in patients with NSCLC by including the least number of the most semantic radiomics features. We included a cohort of 161 patients from 211 patients with NSCLC from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) and analyzed 161 low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) images for detecting EGFR and KRAS mutations.

Risk Score Generated from CT-Based Radiomics Signatures for Overall Survival Prediction in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

This study aimed to create a risk score generated from CT-based radiomics signatures that could be used to predict overall survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We retrospectively enrolled three sets of NSCLC patients (including 336, 84, and 157 patients for training, testing, and validation set, respectively). A total of 851 radiomics features for each patient from CT images were extracted for further analyses.
