Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria is a global health crisis due to the rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria and the lengthy development of new antimicrobials. In light of this, artificial intelligence in the form of machine learning has been viewed as a potential counter to delay the spread of AMR. With the aid of AI, there are possibilities to predict and identify AMR in bacteria efficiently. Furthermore, a combination of machine learning algorithms and lab testing can help to accelerate the process of discovering new antimicrobials. To date, many machine learning algorithms for antimicrobial-resistance discovery had been created and vigorously validated. Most of these algorithms produced accurate results and outperformed the traditional methods which relied on sequence comparison within a database. This mini-review will provide an updated overview of antimicrobial design workflow using the latest machine-learning antimicrobial discovery algorithms in the last 5 years. With this review, we hope to improve upon the current AMR identification and antimicrobial development techniques by introducing the use of AI into the mix, including how the algorithms could be made more effective.

Deep learning for the classification of atrial fibrillation using wavelet transform-based visual images.

BMC Med Inform Decis Mak

January 2025

Department of Biomedical Engineering, National Defense Medical Center, Taiwan, No.161, Sec.6, Minchiuan E. Rd., Neihu Dist, Taipei, 11490, Taiwan.

Background: As the incidence and prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) proliferate worldwide, the condition has become the epicenter of a plethora of ECG diagnostic research. In recent diagnostic methodologies, Morse Continuous Wavelet Transform (MsCWT) is a feature extraction technique utilized to draw out distinctive attributes of ECG signals. In our study, we explore the employment of MsCWT in the classification of AF with ECG signals in a continuum.

Background: Intracerebral amyloid β (Aβ) accumulation is considered the initial observable event in the pathological process of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Efficient screening for amyloid pathology is critical for identifying patients for early treatment. This study developed machine learning models to classify positron emission tomography (PET) Aβ-positivity in participants with preclinical and prodromal AD using data accessible to primary care physicians.

Introduction: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common diabetes-related complication with unclear underlying pathological mechanisms. Although recent studies have linked glycolysis to various pathological states, its role in DN remains largely underexplored.

Methods: In this study, the expression patterns of glycolysis-related genes (GRGs) were first analyzed using the GSE30122, GSE30528, and GSE96804  datasets, followed by an evaluation of the immune landscape in DN.

BMC Nurs

January 2025

Department of Pain Medicine, the 1st affiliated hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, 17 Yongwai Street, Nanchang, China.

Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is prevalent in older adults with chronic pain, making early detection crucial for dementia prevention and healthy aging. This study aimed to determine MCI risk factors in older patients with chronic pain and to develop 9 machine learning models to identify MCI risk.

Methods: A total of 612 older patients with chronic pain were recruited between October 2023 and July 2024.
