The categorical agreement among MIC results for the fluoroquinolones tested (levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, gatifloxacin and gemifloxacin) was high (99.16-99.85%), and error rates were nil or very low when 1 compound was used as a surrogate for predicting susceptibility (not resistance) to another agent in the class. No error was observed when levofloxacin was selected as the group surrogate for pneumococcal testing.

Department of Urology, University of Alabama, Birmingham, AL, USA.
Objectives: To identify associations between 24-h urine abnormalities and clinical risk factors for recurrent stone formers.
Patients And Methods: The Registry for Stones of the Kidney and Ureter was queried for all patients who underwent 24-h urine studies. Patients were categorised by the number of clinical risk factors for recurrent stone disease.
Interpreting Lung Cancer Health Disparity between African American Males and European American Males.
Proceedings (IEEE Int Conf Bioinformatics Biomed)

Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences, Florida International University, Miami, USA.
Lung cancer remains a predominant cause of cancer-related deaths, with notable disparities in incidence and outcomes across racial and gender groups. This study addresses these disparities by developing a computational framework leveraging explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) to identify both patient- and cohort-specific biomarker genes in lung cancer. Specifically, we focus on two lung cancer subtypes, Lung Adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LUSC), examining distinct racial and sex-specific cohorts: African American males (AAMs) and European American males (EAMs).

Background Generative artificial intelligence (AI), such as Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT), has shown potential in various medical applications, including answering licensing examination questions. However, its performance in rehabilitation medicine remains underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of ChatGPT4o in answering questions from the Japanese Board-Certified Physiatrist Examination and assess its potential as an educational and clinical support tool.

Introduction: The mortality rate associated with (MTB) has seen a significant rise in regions heavily affected by the disease over the past few decades. The traditional methods for diagnosing and differentiating tuberculosis (TB) remain thorny issues, particularly in areas with a high TB epidemic and inadequate resources. Processing numerous images can be time-consuming and tedious.

Front Neurosci

School of Data Science, Lingnan University, Hong Kong SAR, China.
Accurate monitoring of drowsy driving through electroencephalography (EEG) can effectively reduce traffic accidents. Developing a calibration-free drowsiness detection system with single-channel EEG alone is very challenging due to the non-stationarity of EEG signals, the heterogeneity among different individuals, and the relatively parsimonious compared to multi-channel EEG. Although deep learning-based approaches can effectively decode EEG signals, most deep learning models lack interpretability due to their black-box nature.
