Collaborative privacy-preserving analysis of oncological data using multiparty homomorphic encryption.

Real-world healthcare data sharing is instrumental in constructing broader-based and larger clinical datasets that may improve clinical decision-making research and outcomes. Stakeholders are frequently reluctant to share their data without guaranteed patient privacy, proper protection of their datasets, and control over the usage of their data. Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) is a cryptographic capability that can address these issues by enabling computation on encrypted data without intermediate decryptions, so the analytics results are obtained without revealing the raw data.

Stereotactic surgeries for abuse syndromes: Patient selection and results.

It is known that in present time heroin addiction is the most widespread and difficult to treat. It includes two factors: physical and psychological addiction. The vast majority of patients remained mentally addicted to drugs after physical drug addiction has been eliminated and the organism has been completely detoxed.

Stereotactic cingulotomy and capsulotomy for obsessive-compulsive disorders: Indications and comparative results.

Stereotactic cingulotomy and capsulotomy have been used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) and treatment-resistant depression since the 1950s-60s. To date, these surgical procedures have gained a number of advancements due to progress of neuroimaging and upgrading of stereotactic technique. The effectiveness of operations is related to the restoration of the normal level of limbic regulation in treated patients.

Optimized homomorphic encryption solution for secure genome-wide association studies.

Background: Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) refer to observational studies of a genome-wide set of genetic variants across many individuals to see if any genetic variants are associated with a certain trait. A typical GWAS analysis of a disease phenotype involves iterative logistic regression of a case/control phenotype on a single-neuclotide polymorphism (SNP) with quantitative covariates. GWAS have been a highly successful approach for identifying genetic-variant associations with many poorly-understood diseases.

Secure large-scale genome-wide association studies using homomorphic encryption.

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) seek to identify genetic variants associated with a trait, and have been a powerful approach for understanding complex diseases. A critical challenge for GWASs has been the dependence on individual-level data that typically have strict privacy requirements, creating an urgent need for methods that preserve the individual-level privacy of participants. Here, we present a privacy-preserving framework based on several advances in homomorphic encryption and demonstrate that it can perform an accurate GWAS analysis for a real dataset of more than 25,000 individuals, keeping all individual data encrypted and requiring no user interactions.
