Artificial intelligence (AI) has meant a turning point in data analysis, allowing predictions of unseen outcomes with precedented levels of accuracy. In multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic inflammatory-demyelinating condition of the central nervous system with a complex pathogenesis and potentially devastating consequences, AI-based models have shown promising preliminary results, especially when using neuroimaging data as model input or predictor variables. The application of AI-based methodologies to serum/blood and CSF biomarkers has been less explored, according to the literature, despite its great potential. In this review, we aimed to investigate and summarise the recent advances in AI methods applied to body fluid biomarkers in MS, highlighting the key features of the most representative studies, while illustrating their limitations and future directions.

Biomedical datasets are the mainstays of computational biology and health informatics projects, and can be found on multiple data platforms online or obtained from wet-lab biologists and physicians. The quality and the trustworthiness of these datasets, however, can sometimes be poor, producing bad results in turn, which can harm patients and data subjects. To address this problem, policy-makers, researchers, and consortia have proposed diverse regulations, guidelines, and scores to assess the quality and increase the reliability of datasets.

Background: In the last years, artificial intelligence (AI) has contributed to improving healthcare including dentistry. The objective of this study was to develop a machine learning (ML) model for early childhood caries (ECC) prediction by identifying crucial health behaviours within mother-child pairs.

Methods: For the analysis, we utilized a representative sample of 724 mothers with children under six years in Bangladesh.

Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIM) Program, Mass General Brigham, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.

Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly being adopted in healthcare, necessitating standardized reporting guidelines. We present transparent reporting of a multivariable model for individual prognosis or diagnosis (TRIPOD)-LLM, an extension of the TRIPOD + artificial intelligence statement, addressing the unique challenges of LLMs in biomedical applications. TRIPOD-LLM provides a comprehensive checklist of 19 main items and 50 subitems, covering key aspects from title to discussion.

The delivery of accurate diagnoses is crucial in healthcare and represents the gateway to appropriate and timely treatment. Although recent large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in few-shot or zero-shot learning, their effectiveness in clinical diagnosis remains unproven. Here we present MedFound, a generalist medical language model with 176 billion parameters, pre-trained on a large-scale corpus derived from diverse medical text and real-world clinical records.
