Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia, and its early detection is crucial for effective intervention, yet current diagnostic methods often fall short in sensitivity and specificity. This study aims to detect significant…
Early diagnosis and discovery of therapeutic drug targets are crucial objectives for effective management of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Current approaches for AD diagnosis and treatment planning are based on radiological imaging and largely…
Obesity is one of the most important public health problems that the world is facing today. A recent trend is in the development of intervention tools that predict BMI using facial images for weight monitoring and management to combat…
Purpose: Age biases have been identified as an essential factor in the diagnosis of ASD. The objective of this study was to compare the effect of different age groups in classifying ASD using morphological features (MF) and morphological…
Aging is a highly complex and heterogeneous process that progresses at different rates across individuals, making biological age (BA) a more accurate indicator of physiological decline than chronological age. While previous studies have…
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…
Early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and identification of potential risk/beneficial factors are important for planning and administering timely interventions or preventive measures. In this paper, we learn a disease model for AD…
Facial feature tracking is an active area in computer vision due to its relevance to many applications. It is a nontrivial task, since faces may have varying facial expressions, poses or occlusions. In this paper, we address this problem by…
Cognitive decline is a sign of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and there is evidence that tracking a person's eye movement, using eye tracking devices, can be used for the automatic identification of early signs of cognitive decline. However,…
Currently, the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is a complex and error-prone process. Improving this diagnosis could allow earlier detection of the disease and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. For this work, we…
The ethical, social and legal issues surrounding facial analysis technologies have been widely debated in recent years. Key critics have argued that these technologies can perpetuate bias and discrimination, particularly against…
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) offer new opportunities to identify genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recently, collaborative efforts across different institutions emerged that enhance the power of many existing…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative brain disease impairing a person's ability to perform day to day activities. The clinical manifestations of Alzheimer's disease are characterized by heterogeneity in age, disease span, progression…
Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves a deliberate diagnostic process owing to its innate traits of irreversibility with subtle and gradual progression. These characteristics make AD biomarker identification from structural brain…
Facial attribute analysis has received considerable attention when deep learning techniques made remarkable breakthroughs in this field over the past few years. Deep learning based facial attribute analysis consists of two basic sub-issues:…
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is the prodromal stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and thus enrolling MCI subjects to undergo clinical trials is worthwhile. However, MCI groups usually show significant diversity and heterogeneity in the…
Objective: This paper presents an Alzheimer's disease (AD) detection method based on learning structural similarity between Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs) and representing this similarity as a graph. Methods: We construct the similarity…
Obesity is a major health problem, increasing the risk of various major chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, and stroke. While the role of obesity identified by cross-sectional BMI recordings has been heavily studied, the role of BMI…
This paper explores deterioration in Alzheimers Disease using Machine Learning. Subjects were split into two datasets based on baseline diagnosis (Cognitively Normal, Mild Cognitive Impairment), with outcome of deterioration at final visit…
Machine learning (ML) has shown great promise for revolutionizing a number of areas, including healthcare. However, it is also facing a reproducibility crisis, especially in medicine. ML models that are carefully constructed from and…
