Neuroimaging may predict response to cognitive remediation therapy and social skills training (CRT + SST) in schizophrenia. Identifying biological predictors of response is crucial for treatment decision making given not all patients respond to such interventions. Nineteen veterans with schizophrenia enrolled in an 8-week trial of CRT + SST. Ten participants completed diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) at baseline. Baseline fractional anisotropy (FA) in the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) and overall average FA predicted improvements in visual-spatial working memory, and social cognition, respectively. Neuroimaging may be useful in identifying therapeutic targets in schizophrenia.

Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally. It is imperative to explore novel biomarkers to predict breast cancer treatment response as well as progression. Here, we collected six breast cancer samples and paired normal tissues for high-throughput sequencing.

The article is motivated by an application to the EarlyBird cohort study aiming to explore how anthropometrics and clinical and metabolic processes are associated with obesity and glucose control during childhood. There is interest in inferring the relationship between dynamically changing and high-dimensional metabolites and a longitudinal response. Important aspects of the analysis include the selection of the important set of metabolites and the accommodation of missing data in both response and covariate values.

Growth-differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) is a cytokine involved in cellular stress responses and inflammation. This meta-analysis evaluates the association between circulating GDF-15 levels and functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). A comprehensive search of Medline, Web of Science, Embase, Wanfang, and CNKI was conducted up to July 15, 2024.

Predicting early treatment response in schizophrenia is pivotal for selecting the best therapeutic approach. Utilizing machine learning (ML) technique, we aimed to formulate a model predicting antipsychotic treatment outcomes. Data were obtained from 299 patients with schizophrenia from three multicenter, open-label, non-comparative clinical trials.
