Mental Status Assessment (MSA) holds significant importance in psychiatry. In recent years, several studies have leveraged Electroencephalogram (EEG) technology to gauge an individual's mental state or level of depression. This study introduces a novel multi-tier ensemble learning approach to integrate multiple EEG bands for conducting mental state or depression assessments. Initially, the EEG signal is divided into eight sub-bands, and then a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based Deep Neural Network (DNN) model is trained for each band. Subsequently, the integration of multi-band EEG frequency models and the evaluation of mental state or depression level are facilitated through a two-tier ensemble learning approach based on Multiple Linear Regression (MLR). The authors conducted numerous experiments to validate the performance of the proposed method under different evaluation metrics. For clarity and conciseness, the research employs the simplest commercialized one-channel EEG sensor, positioned at FP1, to collect data from 57 subjects (49 depressed and 18 healthy subjects). The obtained results, including an accuracy of 0.897, F1-score of 0.921, precision of 0.935, negative predictive value of 0.829, recall of 0.908, specificity of 0.875, and AUC of 0.8917, provide evidence of the superior performance of the proposed method compared to other ensemble learning techniques. This method not only proves effective but also holds the potential to significantly enhance the accuracy of depression assessment.

Background: Changes in voice are a symptom of Parkinson's disease and used to assess the progression of the condition. However, natural differences in the voices of people can make this challenging. Computerized binary speech classification can identify people with PD (PwPD), but its multiclass application to detect the severity of the disease remains difficult.

Identifying angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides accurately is crucial for understanding the primary factor that regulates the renin-angiotensin system and for providing guidance in developing new potential drugs. Given the inherent experimental complexities, using computational methods for in silico peptide identification could be indispensable for facilitating the high-throughput characterization of ACE inhibitory peptides. In this paper, we propose a novel deep stacking-based ensemble learning framework, termed Deepstack-ACE, to precisely identify ACE inhibitory peptides.

Background: Clinical Language Models (CLMs) possess the potential to reform traditional healthcare systems by aiding in clinical decision making and optimal resource utilization. They can enhance patient outcomes and help healthcare management through predictive clinical tasks. However, their real-world deployment is limited due to high computational cost at inference, in terms of both time and space complexity.

Background And Objective: Accurate prediction of perioperative major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) is crucial, as it not only aids clinicians in comprehensively assessing patients' surgical risks and tailoring personalized surgical and perioperative management plans, but also for information-based shared decision-making with patients and efficient allocation of medical resources. This study developed and validated a machine learning (ML) model using accessible preoperative clinical data to predict perioperative MACEs in stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) patients undergoing noncardiac surgery (NCS).

Methods: We collected data from 9171 adult SCAD patients who underwent NCS and extracted 64 preoperative variables.
