Published: February 2020

Alignment-free k-mer-based algorithms in whole genome sequence comparisons remainan ongoing challenge. Here, we explore the possibility to use Topic Modeling for organismwhole-genome comparisons. We analyzed 30 complete genomes from three bacterial families bytopic modeling. For this, each genome was considered as a document and 13-mer nucleotiderepresentations as words. Latent Dirichlet allocation was used as the probabilistic modeling of thecorpus. We where able to identify the topic distribution among analyzed genomes, which is highlyconsistent with traditional hierarchical classification. It is possible that topic modeling may be appliedto establish relationships between genome's composition and biological phenomena.

Objective: Craniopharyngiomas are rare, benign brain tumors that are primarily treated with surgery. Although the extended endoscopic endonasal approach (EEEA) has evolved as a more reliable surgical alternative and yields better visual outcomes than traditional craniotomy, postoperative visual deterioration remains one of the most common complications, and relevant risk factors are still poorly defined. Hence, identifying risk factors and developing a predictive model for postoperative visual deterioration is indeed necessary.

Background: Virtual patients (VPs) are computer screen-based simulations of patient-clinician encounters. VP use is limited by cost and low scalability.

Objective: Show proof-of-concept that VPs powered by large language models (LLMs) generate authentic dialogs, accurate representations of patient preferences, and personalized feedback on clinical performance; and explore LLMs for rating dialog and feedback quality.

There is different administration routes of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) administration for macular edema, but the efficacy ranking remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of different administration routes of TA employed in macular edema. PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were systematically searched for published articles comparing macular edema in patients with triamcinolone acetonide in different administration.

Introduction: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the common neurodevelopmental disorders and is widely prevalent worldwide. The primary symptoms of ADHD include inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, which significantly impact the cognitive, behavioral, and emotional dimensions of individuals. These disorders often continue throughout adulthood and, along with associated complications, affect various domains such as personal health, academic achievement, and social interactions.

Instead of turning to emergency phone systems, social media platforms, such as Twitter, have emerged as alternative and sometimes preferred venues for members of the public in the US to communicate during hurricanes and other natural disasters. However, relevant posts are likely to be missed by responders given the volume of content on platforms. Previous work successfully identified relevant posts through machine-learned methods, but depended on human annotators.
