Background: Genome DNA methylation profiling is a promising yet costly method for cancer classification, involving substantial data. We developed an ensemble learning model to identify cancer types using methylation profiles from a limited number of CpG sites.
Methods: Analyzing methylation data from 890 samples across 10 cancer types from the TCGA database, we utilized ANOVA and Gain Ratio to select the most significant CpG sites, then employed Gradient Boosting to reduce these to just 100 sites.
Results: This approach maintained high accuracy across multiple machine learning models, with classification accuracy rates between 87.7% and 93.5% for methods including Extreme Gradient Boosting, CatBoost, and Random Forest. This method effectively minimizes the number of features needed without losing performance, helping to classify primary organs and uncover subgroups within specific cancers like breast and lung.
Conclusions: Using a gradient boosting feature selector shows potential for streamlining methylation-based cancer classification.

Machine learning prediction of hepatic encephalopathy for long-term survival after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in acute variceal bleeding.

Background: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective intervention for managing complications of portal hypertension, particularly acute variceal bleeding (AVB). While effective in reducing portal pressure and preventing rebleeding, TIPS is associated with a considerable risk of overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE), a complication that significantly elevates mortality rates.
Aim: To develop a machine learning (ML) model to predict OHE occurrence post-TIPS in patients with AVB using a 5-year dataset.

Background: Trigger finger is a common disorder of the hand characterized by pain and locking of the digits during flexion or extension. In cases refractory to nonoperative management, surgical release of the A1 pulley can be performed. This study evaluates the ability of machine learning (ML) techniques to predict short-term complications following trigger digit release surgery.

This study developed a predictive model using deep learning (DL) and natural language processing (NLP) to identify emergency cases in pediatric emergency departments. It analyzed 87,759 pediatric cases from a South Korean tertiary hospital (2012-2021) using electronic medical records. Various NLP models, including four machine learning (ML) models with Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) and two DL models based on the KM-BERT framework, were trained to differentiate emergency cases using clinician transcripts.
