Tinnitus is the perception of a phantom sound and the individual's reaction to it. Although much progress has been made, tinnitus remains an unresolved scientific and clinical issue, affecting more than 10% of the general population and having a high prevalence and socioeconomic burden. Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are used to assist clinicians in their complex decision-making processes, having been proved that they improve healthcare delivery. In this paper, we present a CDSS for tinnitus, attempting to address the question which treatment approach is optimal for a particular patient based on specific parameters. The CDSS will be developed in the context of the EU-funded "UNITI" project and, after the project completion, it will be able to determine the suitability and expected attachment of a particular patient to a list of available clinical interventions, utilizing predictive and classification machine learning models.Clinical Relevance - The proposed clinically utilizable CDSS will be able to suggest the optimal treatment strategy for the tinnitus patient based on a set of heterogeneous data.

Organoid technology provides a transformative approach to understand human physiology and pathology, offering valuable insights for scientific research and therapeutic development. Human gastric organoids, in particular, have gained significant interest for applications in disease modeling, drug discovery, and studies of tissue regeneration and homeostasis. However, the lack of standardized quality control has limited their extensive clinical applications.

Adverse effects of advanced age and poor initial neurological status on outcomes of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have been documented. While a predictive model of the non-linear correlation between advanced age and clinical outcome has been reported, no previous model has been validated. Therefore, we created a prediction model of the non-linear correlation between advanced age and clinical outcome by machine learning and validated it using a separate cohort.
