Major depressive disorder represents one of the most significant global health challenges of the 21st century, affecting millions of people worldwide and creating substantial economic and social burdens. While conventional antidepressant…
This paper explores belief inference in credal networks using Dempster-Shafer theory. By building on previous work, we propose a novel framework for propagating uncertainty through a subclass of credal networks, namely chains. The proposed…
The recent monkeypox outbreak has raised significant public health concerns due to its rapid spread across multiple countries. Monkeypox can be difficult to distinguish from chickenpox and measles in the early stages because the symptoms of…
Disease complications can alter vascular network morphology and disrupt tissue functioning. Diabetic retinopathy, for example, is a complication of types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus that can cause blindness. Microvascular diseases are…
In this paper, we demonstrate that a new measure of evidence we developed called the Dempster-Shafer p-value which allow for insights and interpretations which retain most of the structure of the p-value while covering for some of the…
Understanding epistasis (genetic interaction) may shed some light on the genomic basis of common diseases, including disorders of maximum interest due to their high socioeconomic burden, like schizophrenia. Distance correlation is an…
Alzheimer's disease is an untreatable, progressive brain disorder that slowly robs people of their memory, thinking abilities, and ultimately their capacity to complete even the most basic tasks. Among older adults, it is the most frequent…
According to the World Malaria Report of 2022, 247 million cases of malaria and 619,000 related deaths were reported in 2021. This highlights the predominance of the disease, especially in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of Africa,…
Dementia is a leading cause of diseases for the elderly. Early diagnosis is very important for the elderly living with dementias. In this paper, we propose a method for dementia diagnosis by predicting MMSE score from finger-tapping…
