Common human diseases prediction using machine learning based on survey data [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
In this era, the moment has arrived to move away from disease as the primary emphasis of medical treatment. Although impressive, the multiple techniques that have been developed to detect the diseases. In this time, there are some types of diseases COVID-19, normal flue, migraine, lung disease, heart disease, kidney disease, diabetics, stomach disease,

The potential role of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in reducing acute respiratory inflammation in community-acquired pneumococcal pneumonia

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2020
Background Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) reduces both invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and other pneumococcal infections worldwide. We investigated the impact of stepwise implementation of childhood PCV programs on the prevalence of ...

Occupationally Relevant Zinc‐ and Copper‐Containing Metal Fumes Inhibit Human THP‐1 Macrophage TNF and IL‐6 Responses to Bacterial Stimuli

Global Challenges, EarlyView.
Metal workers have an increased risk of severe pneumonia due to metal fume exposure. In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper oxide (CuO) particles are found to inhibit specific anti‐bacterial macrophage responses, which may substantially contribute to impaired lung immunity.

The role of mutation rate variation and genetic diversity in the architecture of human disease [PDF]

, 2013
We have investigated the role that the mutation rate and the structure of genetic variation at a locus play in determining whether a gene is involved in disease. We predict that the mutation rate and its genetic diversity should be higher in genes associated with disease, unless all genes that could cause disease have already been identified ...

Prolonged Vancomycin‐Induced Linear IgA Disease in a Patient With Renal Failure

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 64‐year‐old man with pneumococcal septic shock and subsequent renal failure underwent treatments with antibiotics including intravenous vancomycin (VCM). Blistering skin lesions appeared 10 days after the initiation of VCM. When the patient was transferred to us 5 months later, blisters with erythema were still observed on the abdomen and ...

Unveiling new disease, pathway, and gene associations via multi-scale neural networks [PDF]

PLOS ONE, 15(4), p.e0231059 (2020), 2019
Diseases involve complex processes and modifications to the cellular machinery. The gene expression profile of the affected cells contains characteristic patterns linked to a disease. Hence, biological knowledge pertaining to a disease can be derived from a patient cell's profile, improving our diagnosis ability, as well as our grasp of disease risks ...
