may now first have routine blood tests assessed by the developed ML model. All patients with predicted brain tumours would then have neuroimaging studies to confirm the diagnosis and obtain information on the location, size and characteristics of brain tumours, which are necessary for further manageme...
(Table2). However, correct high CVD risk assessment and inflammation diagnosis is still possible, thus enabling transport of DBS cards without the need for temperature regulation in most countries. Also, prolonged stability is important for sampling in areas with underdeveloped infrastructure where it ...
