Dyslexia is a specific disorder of language. Researches led on dyslexia origin have conducted to multiple hypotheses and various rehabilitation treatments. In this context, practitioners can be interested in using an automatic tool to help in diagnosing dyslexia. This tool should evaluate children's own deficit and advise adapted rehabilitation. This paper presents the conception of a preliminary test containing the most representative dyslexia evaluation tasks from literature and the first results concerning the discriminatory validity of this preliminary test in French school age children (8-10 years). Moreover a selection of significant tasks to optimize the detection of dyslexia is proposed. These tasks will build up the first step of the automatic tool.

Blood-based DNA methylation markers for lung cancer prediction.

BMJ Oncol

May 2024

Genomic Epidemiology Branch, International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon, France.

Objective: Screening high-risk individuals with low-dose CT reduces mortality from lung cancer, but many lung cancers occur in individuals who are not eligible for screening. Risk biomarkers may be useful to refine risk models and improve screening eligibility criteria. We evaluated if blood-based DNA methylation markers can improve a traditional lung cancer prediction model.

Aim: This study aimed to develop a web-based machine learning (ML) model to predict the lifetime likelihood of developing varicose veins using global disease prevalence data.

Methods: We utilized data from a systematic review, registered under PROSPERO (CRD42021279513), which included 81 studies on varicose vein prevalence across various geographic regions. The data used to build the ML model included disease prevalence as the outcome (%), along with the following predictors: mean age, gender distribution (%), mean body mass index (BMI) of the study cohort, and the mean gravity field of the study region (mGal), representing variations in Earth's underground mass distribution that influence blood and fluid redistribution in the human body, affecting disease prevalence.

Background: Although more risk prediction models are available for feeding intolerance in enteral-nourishment patients, it is still unclear how well these models will work in clinical settings. Future research faces challenges in validating model accuracy across populations, enhancing interpretability for clinical use, and overcoming dataset limitations.

Objective: To thoroughly examine studies that have been published on feeding intolerance risk prediction models for enteral nutrition patients.
