The Microbiome Composition of a Man's Penis Predicts Incident Bacterial Vaginosis in His Female Sex Partner With High Accuracy

Background: We determined the predictive accuracy of penile bacteria for incident BV in female sex partners. In this prospective cohort, we enrolled Kenyan men aged 18–35 and their female sex partners aged 16 and older. We assessed BV at ba...

Polysaccharide-based conjugate systems for probiotic encapsulation and colon - targeted release: A review.

Multi-Chain Semi-Markov Analysis of Intrapartum Cardiotocography.

Timely Detection of Infants at Risk of Intrapartum Acidosis and Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy Using Cardiotocography().

Using Network-Based Machine Learning to Predict Transcription Factors Involved in Drought Resistance

Gene regulatory networks underpin stress response pathways in plants. However, parsing these networks to prioritize key genes underlying a particular trait is challenging. Here, we have built the Gene Regulation and Association Network (GRA...

Deep Learning-Based Approaches for Brain Tumour Segmentation and Classification

Brain tumours are caused by the abnormal growth of cells in the brain. This occurs mainly due to genetic changes or exposure to X-ray radiation. When the tumours are detected early, they can be removed via surgery. The tumour can be removed...

Machine Learning and Data Mining Methods in Diabetes Research

The remarkable advances in biotechnology and health sciences have led to a significant production of data, such as high throughput genetic data and clinical information, generated from large Electronic Health Records (EHRs). To this end, ap...

The distribution of antibiotic resistance and virulence factor genes in the sediment of Inexpressible Island, East Antarctica.

Machine learning unifies the modeling of materials and molecules

Determining the stability of molecules and condensed phases is the cornerstone of atomistic modeling, underpinning our understanding of chemical and materials properties and transformations. We show that a machine-learning model, based on a...

Machine Learning in Orthopedics: A Literature Review

In this paper we present the findings of a systematic literature review covering the articles published in the last two decades in which the authors described the application of a machine learning technique and method to an orthopedic probl...

A 9-mRNA signature measured from whole blood by a prototype PCR panel predicts 28-day mortality upon admission of critically ill COVID-19 patients

Immune responses affiliated with COVID-19 severity have been characterized and associated with deleterious outcomes. These approaches were mainly based on research tools not usable in routine clinical practice at the bedside. We observed th...

Decentralized Distributed Sequential Neural Networks Inference on Low-Power Microcontrollers in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Predictive Maintenance Case Study

The growing adoption of IoT applications has led to increased use of low-power microcontroller units (MCUs) for energy-efficient, local data processing. However, deploying deep neural networks (DNNs) on these constrained devices is challeng...

Gut Microbiota and Targeted Biomarkers Analysis in Patients With Cognitive Impairment

Gut microbial alteration is closely associated with brain disorders including cognitive impairment (CI). Gut microbes have the potential to predicate the development of diseases. However, the gut microbial markers for CI remain to be elucid...

A Sensor-to-API Data Infrastructure for Building Digital Twins: Harmonizing Multi-Rate IoT Energy and Indoor Data Streams for Proactive Analytics

Digital twins are increasingly used in smart buildings to monitor energy use. This requires reliable sensor data, geospatial information, and semantically rich 3D building geometry. However, building sensor data often has inconsistent sampl...

Perceptual-Preference-Based Touring Routes in Xishu Gardens Using Panoramic Digital-Twin Modeling

Xishu Gardens, an exemplary narrative of classical Chinese gardens, faces challenges in preserving its commemorative spatial structures while accommodating modern visitors’ needs. While trajectory analysis is critical, existing studies stru...

Machine Learning Methods for Histopathological Image Analysis

Abundant accumulation of digital histopathological images has led to the increased demand for their analysis, such as computer-aided diagnosis using machine learning techniques. However, digital pathological images and related tasks have so...

Accelerated Prediction of Terahertz Performance Metrics in GaN IMPATT Sources via Artificial Neural Networks

This work investigates the application of artificial neural network (ANN)-based regression models to predict the static and dynamic characteristics of GaN impact avalanche transit time (IMPATT) sources in the terahertz (THz) frequency regim...

Machine Learning in Enzyme Engineering

Abstract Enzyme engineering plays a central role in developing efficient biocatalysts for biotechnology, biomedicine, and life sciences. Apart from classical rational design and directed evolution approaches, machine learning methods have b...

Automated shape-based clustering of 3D immunoglobulin protein structures in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Abstract Background Although the etiology of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most common type of adult leukemia, is still unclear, strong evidence implicates antigen involvement in disease ontogeny and evolution. Primary and 3D stru...
