However, such model-derived biomarkers are only clinically relevant if the uncertainty of the biomarkers is smaller than the variation between timepoints/patients. Unfortunately, this uncertainty is challenging to calculate, as the uncertainty of the underlying hemodynamic data is largely unknown and has several sources that are not additive or normally distributed. This violates normality assumptions of current methods; implying that also biomarkers have an unknown uncertainty. To remedy these problems, we herein present a method, with attached code, for uncertainty calculation of model-derived biomarkers using non-normal data. First, we estimated all sources of uncertainty, both normal and non-normal, in hemodynamic data used to personalize an existing model; the errors in 4D flow MRI-derived stroke volumes were 5–20 % and the blood pressure errors were 0 ± 8 mmHg. Second, we estimated the resulting model-derived biomarker uncertainty for 100 simulated datasets, sampled from the data distributions, by: 1) combining data uncertainties 2) parameter estimation, 3) profile-likelihood. The true biomarker values were found within a 95 % confidence interval in 98 % (median) of the cases. This shows both that our estimated data uncertainty is reasonable, and that we can use profile-likelihood despite the non-normality. Finally, we demonstrated that e.g. ventricular relaxation rate has a smaller uncertainty (∼10 %) than the variation across a clinical cohort (∼40 %), meaning that these biomarkers have clinical potential. Our results take us one step closer to the usage of model-derived biomarkers for cardiovascular patient characterization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10578,"journal":{"name":"Computers in biology and medicine","volume":"188 ","pages":"Article 109878"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143464396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CircRNAs have emerged as significant regulators of gene expression through different mechanisms, including regulation of transcription and splicing, modulation of translation, and post-translational modifications. Additionally, some circRNAs operate as microRNA (miRNA) sponges in the cytoplasm, boosting post-transcriptional expression of target genes by inhibiting miRNA activity. Although existing pipelines can reconstruct circRNAs, identify miRNAs sponged by them, retrieve cascade-regulated mRNAs, and represent the regulatory interactions as complex circRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks, none of the state-of-the-art approaches can discriminate the biological level at which the mRNAs involved in the interactions are regulated, avoiding considering potential target mRNAs not regulated at the post-transcriptional level. EasyCircR is a novel R package that combines circRNA detection and reconstruction with post-transcriptional gene expression analysis (exon-intron split analysis) and miRNA response element prediction. The package enables estimation and visualization of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA interactions through an intuitive Shiny application, leveraging the post-transcriptional regulatory nature of circRNA-miRNA relationship and excluding unrealistic regulatory interactions at the biological level.

To address potential future applications in machine-learning settings, we used BezierPPM to create a database of synthetic pinna geometries and trained a toy-example neural network to estimate BezierPPM parameters from multi-view images of this database.

The prompt identification and management of HCV are imperative in order to avert complications and to maintain control over the disease. Nowadays, medical decision support systems that incorporate advanced diagnostic methods and effective treatment strategies are of great importance in order to make significant progress in the fight against HCV. Medical decision support systems have undergone a major evolution with the development of computer technologies. In the 2010s, the integration of big data and artificial intelligence technologies into medical decision support systems enabled rapid analysis of patient data. This has created significant synergies in the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to various diseases. The ever-increasing volume of data on HCV infection offers opportunities to use machine learning techniques to diagnose and predict liver disorders. Although the implementation of machine learning necessitates a degree of proficiency in computer science, which frequently poses a challenge for healthcare practitioners, automated machine learning (AutoML) tools markedly mitigate this obstacle. Such tools empower users to construct highly effective machine learning models without requiring extensive technical expertise. In our investigation concerning HCV prediction, additional features were incorporated into the dataset sourced from the UCI Machine Learning Repository, and class imbalances were rectified. In our study on HCV prediction, which was conducted to address this deficiency, new features were added to the dataset obtained from the UCI Machine Learning Repository to address the deficiencies and inter-class imbalances were corrected. After this process, modeling was performed using 7 AutoML tools and high accuracy rates ranging from 99.29 % to 100 % were obtained.

Many patients still rely on physical documents, requiring them to carry all relevant medical records during consultations. Existing methods for extracting data from medical prescriptions have primarily focused on recognizing medication names using manual image annotation or binarization techniques. These approaches often fail to capture detailed prescription information, struggle with multilingual text, and lack the ability to structure medicine-related data comprehensively. To address these limitations, we propose an advanced Electronic Health Record (EHR) system that provides a secure and accessible digital platform for storing and managing patients’ medical histories. Our study implements the best Region of Interest (ROI) detection model using the You Only Look Once (YOLO) framework, achieving 99.6% detection accuracy. The extracted ROI is processed using the best Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technique to digitize prescription data, which is then organized into a structured format within a central database. Furthermore, the system integrates a spell correction algorithm with a 96% accuracy rate to rectify misspelled medication names. Beyond text extraction, the system links corrected medication names with dosages, instructions, and manufacturer information, combining generic and brand details to ensure precise and comprehensive healthcare data management. This integrated solution enhances medication data organization, facilitates better healthcare delivery, and improves patient outcomes by streamlining prescription handling and ensuring accurate medication administration. Our EHR system bridges the gap between physical and digital records, advancing an efficient and reliable healthcare ecosystem.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10578,"journal":{"name":"Computers in biology and medicine","volume":"188 ","pages":"Article 109812"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143446034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
