The stage and severity of Parkinson's disease (PD) is an important factor to consider for taking effective therapeutic decisions. Although the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) provides an…
An important task in microbiome studies is to test the existence of and give characterization to differences in the microbiome composition across groups of samples. Important challenges of this problem include the large within-group…
Machine learning has been successfully used in critical domains, such as medicine. However, extracting meaningful insights from biomedical data is often constrained by the lack of their available disease labels. In this research, we…
Recent years have seen growing interest in the diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) with machine learning methods to reduce the cost and health implications of conventional diagnosis. This paper introduces a CAD diagnosis method with…
The human gut microbiome is associated with a large number of disease etiologies. As such, it is a natural candidate for machine learning based biomarker development for multiple diseases and conditions. The microbiome is often analyzed…
Labeled speech data from patients with Parkinsons disease (PD) are scarce, and the statistical distributions of training and test data differ significantly in the existing datasets. To solve these problems, dimensional reduction and sample…
In this paper we evaluate the suitability of handwriting patterns as potential biomarkers to model Parkinson disease (PD). Although the study of PD is attracting the interest of many researchers around the world, databases to evaluate…
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a slowly evolving neuro-logical disease that affects about 1% of the population above 60 years old, causing symptoms that are subtle at first, but whose intensity increases as the disease progresses. Automated…
In this work, the issue of Parkinson's disease (PD) diagnostics using non-invasive antemortem techniques was tackled. A deep learning approach for classification of raw speech recordings in patients with diagnosed PD was proposed. The core…
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is one of the most common types of neurological diseases caused by progressive degeneration of dopamin- ergic neurons in the brain. Even though there is no fixed cure for this neurodegenerative disease, earlier…
The rapid advancement of medical technology has led to an exponential increase in multi-modal medical data, including imaging, genomics, and electronic health records (EHRs). Graph neural networks (GNNs) have been widely used to represent…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive degenerative disorder of the central nervous system characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms. As the disease progresses, patients alternate periods in which motor symptoms are mitigated due to…
While a large body of research has formally identified apolipoprotein E (APOE) as a major genetic risk marker for Alzheimer disease, accumulating evidence supports the notion that other risk markers may exist. The traditional…
Machine learning methods have shown large potential for the automatic early diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). However, some machine learning methods based on imaging data have poor interpretability because it is usually unclear how…
In recent years, there are many research cases for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) with the brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by utilizing the traditional unsupervised machine learning methods and the supervised deep learning…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease. It shows multiple motor symptoms such as tremor, bradykinesia, postural instability, freezing of gait (FoG). PD is currently diagnosed clinically through physical exam by…
One important problem in microbiome analysis is to identify the bacterial taxa that are associated with a response, where the microbiome data are summarized as the composition of the bacterial taxa at different taxonomic levels. This paper…
Due to the rapid innovation of technology and the desire to find and employ biomarkers for neurodegenerative disease, high-dimensional data classification problems are routinely encountered in neuroimaging studies. To avoid over-fitting and…
With Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) potentially leading to fatal complications in patients due to the formation of cysts in kidneys, early detection of PKD is crucial for effective management of the condition. However, the various…
Motivation: Identifying the molecular pathways more prone to disruption during a pathological process is a key task in network medicine and, more in general, in systems biology. Results: In this work we propose a pipeline that couples a…
