by UC Davis Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public DomainA team of UC Davis Health clinicians and data scientists has developed a machine-learning model to better predict which patients are at greater risk of developing a common type of liver cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The findings of their research—published in the journal Gastro Hep Advances—describe how predictive-learning can aid...

The study...
by Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard Credit: CC0 Public DomainBy analyzing millions of small genetic differences across a person’s genome, researchers can calculate a polygenic risk score to estimate someone’s lifetime odds of developing a certain disease. Over the past decade, scientists have developed these risk scores for dozens of diseases, including heart disease, kidney...
by Elana Gotkine Moderate/severe and penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI) are associated with an increased risk for subsequent development of brain cancer, according to a study published online Feb. 15 in JAMA Network Open. Ian J. Stewart, M.D., from the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland, and colleagues conducted a retrospective cohort...
Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLMIn a recent study published in Molecular Psychiatry, researchers performed structural-type magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) to develop a machine learning classifier and distinguish neuroanatomical patterns between healthy controls (HCs) and those developing a psychotic disease (CHR-PS+). Study: Using brain structural neuroimaging measures to predict psychosis onset for individuals at clinical high-risk....
