: This study was aimed to identify the most effective machine learning (ML) algorithm for predicting preeclampsia based on sociodemographic and obstetric factors during the preconception period. : Data from pregnant women admitted to the obstetric clinic during their first trimester were analyzed, focusing on maternal age, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, history of diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes mellitus, and mean arterial pressure. The women were grouped by whether they had a preeclampsia diagnosis and by whether they had one or two live births.

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.

Background/objectives: Circadian clocks are endogenous systems that regulate numerous biological, physiological, and behavioral events in living organisms. Aging attenuates the precision and robustness of circadian clocks, leading to prolonged and dampened circadian gene oscillation rhythms and amplitudes. This study investigated the effects of food-derived polyphenols such as ellagic acid and its metabolites (urolithin A, B, and C) on the aging clock at the cellular level using senescent human fibroblast cells, TIG-3 cells.

Focusing on vaccines available to adults and not in the immunization schedule, this study investigates the preferences and factors influencing adults in selecting vaccination clinic locations. It aims to provide strategic insights for boosting vaccination rates by analyzing adults' decision-making factors. This contributes to developing more efficient, patient-focused vaccination strategies that tackle vaccine hesitancy and improve access to vaccination sites.

Background: The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in lower and middle - income countries call for preventive public health interventions. Studies from Africa including those from Ghana, consistently reveal high T2DM-related mortality rates. While previous research in the Ho municipality has primarily examined risk factors, comorbidity, and quality of life of T2DM patients, this study specifically investigated mortality predictors among these patients.
