AI Article Synopsis

  • * Previous research has identified many different genes associated with psoriasis, but a reliable prediction model was lacking until this study.
  • * This study developed a classification model using an innovative feature selection algorithm that accurately predicts psoriasis with a high stability rate (99.81%) using only three features from two genes, IGFL1 and C10orf99, which are important in the growth signaling pathways related to psoriasis.

Article Abstract

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, which symptoms can significantly impair the patient's life quality. It is mainly diagnosed through the visual inspection of the lesion skin by experienced dermatologists. Currently no cure for psoriasis is available due to limited knowledge about its pathogenesis and development mechanisms. Previous studies have profiled hundreds of differentially expressed genes related to psoriasis, however with no robust psoriasis prediction model available. This study integrated the knowledge of three feature selection algorithms that revealed 21 features belonging to 18 genes as candidate markers. The final psoriasis classification model was established using the novel Incremental Feature Selection algorithm that utilizes only 3 features from 2 unique genes, IGFL1 and C10orf99. This model has demonstrated highly stable prediction accuracy (averaged at 99.81%) over three independent validation strategies. The two marker genes, IGFL1 and C10orf99, were revealed as the upstream components of growth signal transduction pathway of psoriatic pathogenesis.

Objectives: The lack of definitive biomarkers presents a significant challenge for chemo-immunotherapy in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). We aimed to identify key genes associated with chemo-immunotherapy efficacy in ES-SCLC through comprehensive gene expression analysis using machine learning (ML).

Methods: A prospective multicenter cohort of patients with ES-SCLC who received first-line chemo-immunotherapy was analyzed.

Predicting Discharge Destination from Inpatient Rehabilitation Using Machine Learning.

Am J Phys Med Rehabil

December 2024

Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Medical College of Wisconsin, 8701 W Watertown Plank Rd, Milwaukee, WI, 53226.

Predicting discharge destination for patients at inpatient rehabilitation facilities is important as it facilitates transitions of care and can improve healthcare resource utilization. This study aims to build on previous studies investigating discharges from inpatient rehabilitation by employing machine learning models to predict discharge disposition to home versus non-home and explore related factors. Fifteen machine learning models were tested.

Predicting high-performance decathlon career best.

Exp Physiol

January 2025

H.H. Morris Human Performance Laboratories, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, USA.

The decathlon is a 10-event discipline in the sport of track and field, typically offered only for men at the elite level of competition (heptathlon is the complementary event for women). It is composed of 10 distinct events contested over 2 days. Using event-specific coefficients, marks are converted to scores, which sum to produce an overall score.

Postnatal care refers to the support provided to mothers and their newborns immediately after childbirth and during the first six weeks of life, a period when most maternal and neonatal deaths occur. In the 30 countries studied, nearly 40 percent of women did not receive a postpartum care check-up. This research aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms in predicting postnatal care utilization in Ethiopia and to identify the key factors involved.

Exploration of designing an automatic classifier for questions containing code snippets-A case study of Oracle SQL certification exam questions.

PLoS One

January 2025

Department of Accounting & Finance, Feliciano School of Business, Montclair State University, Montclair, New Jersey, United States of America.

This study uses the Oracle SQL certification exam questions to explore the design of automatic classifiers for exam questions containing code snippets. SQL's question classification assigns a class label in the exam topics to a question. With this classification, questions can be selected from the test bank according to the testing scope to assemble a more suitable test paper.
