Background: The aim of this study was to develop an original method to extract sets of relevant molecular biomarkers (gene sequences) that can be used for class prediction and can be included as prognostic and predictive tools.
Materials And Methods: The method is based on sequential patterns used as features for class prediction. We applied it to classify breast cancer tumors according to their histological grade.
Results: We obtained very good recall and precision for grades 1 and 3 tumors, but, like other authors, our results were less satisfactory for grade 2 tumors.
Conclusions: We demonstrated the interest of sequential patterns for class prediction of microarrays and we now have the material to use them for prognostic and predictive applications.

Background: To reduce the mortality related to bladder cancer, efforts need to be concentrated on early detection of the disease for more effective therapeutic intervention. Strong risk factors (eg, smoking status, age, professional exposure) have been identified, and some diagnostic tools (eg, by way of cystoscopy) have been proposed. However, to date, no fully satisfactory (noninvasive, inexpensive, high-performance) solution for widespread deployment has been proposed.

Background: Although there is a known correlation between obesity and revision risk following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is an ongoing debate regarding the appropriateness of denying TKA solely based on the body mass index (BMI) of a patient. Our aim was to determine whether a patient's American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class predicts their risks of early all-cause revision and revision for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following primary TKA, independent of their BMI.
Methods: Data from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR) were obtained regarding all patients who underwent primary TKA for osteoarthritis in Australia from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2022.

Introduction: Diabetes prediction using clinical datasets is crucial for medical data analysis. However, class imbalances, where non-diabetic cases dominate, can significantly affect machine learning model performance, leading to biased predictions and reduced generalization.
Methods: A novel predictive framework employing cutting-edge machine learning algorithms and advanced imbalance handling techniques was developed.

Objective: Sarcopenia, a condition characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, poses significant challenges in research due to missing data. Incomplete datasets undermine the accuracy and reliability of studies, necessitating effective imputation techniques. This study conducts a comparative analysis of three advanced methods-multiple imputation by chained equations (MICE), support vector regression, and K-nearest neighbors (KNN)-to address data completeness issues in sarcopenia research.

Background: Pediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGGs) have an overall survival of over 90%; however, patients harboring a BRAF alteration may have worse outcomes, particularly when treated with classic chemotherapy. Combined BRAF/MEK inhibition following incomplete resection demonstrated improved outcome in BRAF altered pLGG compared to combined carboplatin/vincristine chemotherapy and is now considered the standard FDA-approved treatment for this group of tumors. The aim herein was to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of single agent BRAF inhibitor treatment in BRAF altered pLGG.
