Background: No existing machine learning (ML)-based models use free text from electronic medical records (EMR) as input to predict immediate remission (IR) of Cushing's disease (CD) after transsphenoidal surgery.

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to develop an ML-based model that uses EMR that include both structured features and free text as input to preoperatively predict IR after transsphenoidal surgery.

Methods: A total of 419 patients with CD from Peking Union Medical College Hospital were enrolled between January 2014 and August 2020. The EMR of the patients were embedded and transformed into low-dimensional dense vectors that can be included in four ML-based models together with structured features. The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curves was used to evaluate the performance of the models.

Results: The overall remission rate of the 419 patients was 75.7%. From the results of logistic multivariate analysis, operation ( < 0.001), invasion of cavernous sinus from MRI ( = 0.046), and ACTH ( = 0.024) were strongly correlated with IR. The AUC values for the four ML-based models ranged from 0.686 to 0.793. The highest AUC value (0.793) was for logistic regression when 11 structured features and "individual conclusions of the case by doctor" were included.

Conclusion: An ML-based model was developed using both structured and unstructured features (after being processed using a word embedding method) as input to preoperatively predict postoperative IR.

Machine learning (ML) has become an important tool for predicting the pharmaceutical properties of small molecules. Recent advancements in ML algorithms enable the rapid and accurate evaluation of solubility, activity, toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and other molecular properties through ML-based models. By conducting virtual screening of drug targets and elucidating drug-target protein interactions, researchers can conduct preliminary evaluations of the activity and safety of compounds from the ultra-large drug compound libraries, thereby accelerating the screening process for lead compounds.

Department of Gastroenterology, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.

Background: Although numerous prognostic scores have been developed for patients with cirrhosis after Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement over years, an accurate machine learning (ML)-based model remains unavailable. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a ML-based prognostic model to predict survival in patients with cirrhosis after TIPS placement.

Methods: In this retrospective study in China, patients diagnosed with cirrhosis after TIPS placement from 2014 to 2020 in our cohort were included to develop a ML-based model.

Pancreatic α-amylase breaks down starch into isomaltose and maltose, which are further hydrolyzed by α-glucosidase in the intestine into monosaccharides, rapidly raising blood sugar levels and contributing to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Synthetic inhibitors of carbohydrate-digesting enzymes are used to manage T2DM but may harm organ function over time. Bioactive peptides offer a safer alternative, avoiding such adverse effects.

For effective exercise prescription for patients with cardiovascular disease, it is important to determine the target heart rate at the level of the anaerobic threshold (AT-HR). The AT-HR is mainly determined by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). The aim of this study is to develop a machine learning (ML) model to predict the AT-HR solely from non-exercise clinical features.
