Over a billion people across the world experience a high rate of missed disease diagnosis, an issue that highlights the need for diagnostic tools showing increased accuracy and affordability. In addition, such tools could be used in ecologically fragile and energy-limited regions, pointing to the ...
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that significantly threatens human health. However, the differential diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection
Acute pancreatitis is a common indication for hospital admission, increasing in incidence, including in children, pregnancy and the elderly. Moderately severe acute pancreatitis with fluid and/or necrotic collections causes substantial morbidity, and severe disease with persistent organ failure causes signifi...
Cancer detection poses a significant challenge for researchers and clinical experts due to its status as the leading cause of global mortality. Early detection is crucial, but traditional cancer detection methods often rely on invasive procedures and tim
The recently conducted BREATHE study revealed that the adjusted smoking rate in the general population of MENA countries was estimated to be 31.2% (ranging from 15.3% in Morocco to 53.9% in Lebanon). The smoking rate in men ranged from 29.7% in Morocco to 61% in Turkey, ...
Lung cancer (LC) has high morbidity and fatality rate that can be attributed to its poor diagnostic and monitoring facilities. Hence, there is a need to design advanced detection and monitoring systems to facilitate fast, efficient, and early diagnosis. The emerging research on novel nanotechnology...
5.1.1Lung Cancer The majority of exhaled breath analysis studies are focused on lung cancers. Various pilot studies [64,129,134,152,153,154,155,156] have examined the exhaled breath of lung cancer patients and observed that butanedione is present in higher concentrations in comparison to a heal...
making it particularly useful for localized drug delivery, such as wound healing and tissue regeneration. Collagen can be conjugated with chemotherapeutic agents to target cancerous tissues. Its slow degradation rate ensures that the drug is released over a prolonged period, providing sustained therapeuti...
and heart rate, that are present in the dataset. The body weight and height were missing for 80% of the patients and hence were not included in the experiments. The distribution of clinical features in the dataset is illustrated in Fig.2, and the demographic distribution of patients is illus...
multiple hypothesis testing using a false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.1 (see Methods)7. In short, RA is a ratio of the actual probability of co-diagnoses of two diseases over the random expectation of co-occurrences. When RA is greater than 1, it indicates the observed disease co-...
