Disability prediction in multiple sclerosis using performance outcome measures and demographic data [PDF]
Literature on machine learning for multiple sclerosis has primarily focused on the use of neuroimaging data such as magnetic resonance imaging and clinical laboratory tests for disease identification. However, studies have shown that these modalities are not consistent with disease activity such as symptoms or disease progression. Furthermore, the cost

Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma in Progressive Systemic Sclerosis
Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma(BAC) is the most common histological type of lung cancer arising in an area of scar tissue, and it is frequently superimposed in the fibrotic lung of progressive systemic sclerosis(PSS). The so called scar cancer is believed to be caused by the transformation of hyperplastic epithelium to metaplasia and finally to neoplasia

Interleukin-6 in systemic sclerosis and potential correlation with pulmonary involvement
Background: A progressive pulmonary involvement is frequent in systemic sclerosis and it is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. IL-6 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis via stimulation of fibroblasts to produce excess ...

Fresh Insights into Disease Etiology and the Role of Microbial Pathogens. [PDF]
Pathogens have been implicated in the initiation and/or promotion of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma, SSc); however, no evidence was found to substantiate the direct contribution to this disease in past years.

Concurrent Validity of Automatic Speech and Pause Measures During Passage Reading in ALS [PDF]
The analysis of speech measures in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can provide essential information for early diagnosis and tracking disease progression. However, current methods for extracting speech and pause features are manual or semi-automatic, which makes them time-consuming and labour-intensive.
