Inclusive mobile brain-body imaging achieves equivalent EEG data quality across racial groups

Electroencephalography EEG research systematically excludes participants with textured hair limiting generalizability While inclusive hardware offers a solution it remains unvalidated in dynamic settings This study bridges this ecological gap by determining if equitable data quality is achievable across racial groups during a complex Mobile

AI alignment in medical imaging: Unveiling hidden biases through counterfactual analysis

Machine learning ML systems for medical imaging have demonstrated remarkable diagnostic capabilities However their susceptibility to learning spurious correlations with sensitive attributes poses significant risks to fairness and safety In this paper we introduce a novel statistical framework to evaluate the dependency of medical imaging

Automated identification of keratinocyte cancers in pathology reports using large language models

Keratinocyte cancers KCs are the most prevalent cancers in whiteskinned individuals yet remain underrepresented in cancer registries because reporting requirements differ greatly across jurisdictions Manual extraction of KC subtypes from medical reports is laborintensive and timeconsuming particularly as reports often document multiple

Impact of the WellCheck smartphone app linked to electronic health records on clinical outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes: Study protocol for primary care-based

Diabetes obesity and dyslipidemia are significant contributors to cardiovascular diseases necessitating effective strategies to manage blood glucose blood pressure and lipid levels through lifestyle interventions and pharmacotherapy This study aims to assess the glycemic control and metabolic health outcomes achieved

Data subdivision approach enhances machine learning-based mortality prediction in pediatric ICU patients

To evaluate machine learningbased models for predicting allcause mortality in pediatric ICU patients using comprehensive biochemical panels with a focus on addressing missing data and class imbalance

A global analysis of national cardiovascular disease control plans using a multi-agent artificial intelligence model

Cardiovascular diseases cause nearly onethird of global deaths yet standalone National Cardiovascular Disease Control Plans remain uncommon and inconsistently structured We assessed the comprehensiveness

Assessing movement quality in individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy utilizing accelerometry: Comparisons with healthy controls

Duchenne muscular dystrophy DMD is characterized by progressive decline in skeletal muscle function leading to loss of ambulation and premature cardiopulmonary failure The ability to monitor declines in skeletal
