Background: Neoadjuvant therapy may improve survival of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma; however, determining response to therapy is difficult. Artificial intelligence allows for novel analysis of images. We hypothesized that a deep learning model can predict tumor response to NAC.
Methods: Patients with pancreatic cancer receiving neoadjuvant therapy prior to pancreatoduodenectomy were identified between November 2009 and January 2018. The College of American Pathologists Tumor Regression Grades 0-2 were defined as pathologic response (PR) and grade 3 as no response (NR). Axial images from preoperative computed tomography scans were used to create a 5-layer convolutional neural network and LeNet deep learning model to predict PRs. The hybrid model incorporated decrease in carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) of 10%. Accuracy was determined by area under the curve.
Results: A total of 81 patients were included in the study. Patients were divided between PR (333 images) and NR (443 images). The pure model had an area under the curve (AUC) of .738 ( < .001), whereas the hybrid model had an AUC of .785 ( < .001). CA19-9 decrease alone was a poor predictor of response with an AUC of .564 ( = .096).
Conclusions: A deep learning model can predict pathologic tumor response to neoadjuvant therapy for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and the model is improved with the incorporation of decreases in serum CA19-9. Further model development is needed before clinical application.

As an important source of pollution in the papermaking process, the presence of lignin in poplar can seriously affect the quality and process of pulping. During lignin synthesis, Caffeoyl-CoA-O methyltransferase (CCoAOMT), as a specialized catalytic transferase, can effectively regulate the methylation of caffeoyl-coenzyme A (CCoA) to feruloyl-coenzyme A. Targeting CCoAOMT, this study investigated the substrate recognition mechanism and the possible reaction mechanism, the key residues of lignin binding were mutated and the lignin content was validated by deep convolutional neural-network model based on genome-wide prediction (DCNGP).

Identifying phage-host interactions (PHIs) is a crucial step in developing phage therapy, which is the promising solution to addressing the issue of antibiotic resistance in superbugs. However, the lifestyle of phages, which strongly depends on their host for life activities, limits their cultivability, making the study of predicting PHIs time-consuming and labor-intensive for traditional wet lab experiments. Although many deep learning (DL) approaches have been applied to PHIs prediction, most DL methods are predominantly based on sequence information, failing to comprehensively model the intricate relationships within PHIs.

Multivariate clinical time series data, such as those contained in Electronic Health Records (EHR), often exhibit high levels of irregularity, notably, many missing values and varying time intervals. Existing methods usually construct deep neural network architectures that combine recurrent neural networks and time decay mechanisms to model variable correlations, impute missing values, and capture the impact of varying time intervals. The complete data matrices thus obtained from the imputation task are used for downstream risk prediction tasks.

Delirium is an acute decline or fluctuation in attention, awareness, or other cognitive function that can lead to serious adverse outcomes. Despite the severe outcomes, delirium is frequently unrecognized and uncoded in patients' electronic health records (EHRs) due to its transient and diverse nature. Natural language processing (NLP), a key technology that extracts medical concepts from clinical narratives, has shown great potential in studies of delirium outcomes and symptoms.

This scoping review summarizes two emerging electrical impedance technologies: electrical impedance myography (EIM) and electrical impedance tomography (EIT). These methods involve injecting a current into tissue and recording the response at different frequencies to understand tissue properties. The review discusses basic methods and trends, particularly the use of electrodes: EIM uses electrodes for either injection or recording, while EIT uses them for both.
