This paper proposes a novel ensemble approach, integrating Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Symbolic Regression (SR), and Decision Trees (DTs), to predict fish mortality caused by infectious diseases. The intensifying global burden of fish diseases...
Fish vaccination plays a vital role in the prevention of fish diseases. Inappropriate injection positions will cause a low immunization rate and even death. Currently, traditional visual algorithms have poor robustness and low accuracy due to the spe...
Background: Based on our recently reported associations between specific dietary behaviors and the risk of COVID-19 infection in the UK Biobank (UKB) cohort, we further investigate whether these associations are specific to COVID-19 or extend to othe...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the world’s most common cancers and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths, causing more than 50,000 estimated deaths each year. Several risk factors are highly associated with CRC, including being overweight,...
Large longitudinal studies exploring the role of dietary patterns in the assessment of long-term outcomes of NAFLD are still lacking. We conducted a prospective analysis of 128,695 UK Biobank participants. Cox proportional hazards models were used to...
The number of cases and incidence rates of laryngeal and lung cancers have been increasing globally. Therefore, identifying the occupational causes of such cancers is an important concern for policymakers to prevent cancers and deaths. We used nation...
Electric impedance spectroscopy techniques have been widely employed to study basic biological processes, and recently explored to estimate postmortem interval (PMI). However, the most-relevant parameter to approximate PMI has not been recognized so...
Sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) are two key species in marine food webs and have a high commercial value in the Iberian Peninsula. The populations of these species are known to have exhibited marked fluctuations...
Meningioma (MN) is an important cause of disability, and predictive tools for estimating the risk of recurrence are still scarce. The need for objective and cost-effective techniques addressed to this purpose is well known. In this study, we present...
Wetlands are critical ecological infrastructures that improve water quality, serve as habitat for fish and other aquatic life, accumulate floodwaters, and maintain surface water flow during dry periods. However, the health of wetlands has been compro...
The immunotoxic effects of some anthropogenic pollutants on aquatic organisms are among the causes of concern over the presence of these pollutants in the marine environment. The immune system is part of an organism’s biological defense necessarily f...
Inadequate diet influences chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death in Spain. CVD figures vary from one geographical region to another; this could be associated with different food choices. Our aim was to anal...
This study assessed the possible impact of a former ferrochromium plant in Siechnice (Lower Silesia, Poland) on water reservoirs and living organisms. The metal concentrations (Zn, Cu, Pb, Fe, and Cr) in the sediments were determined, along with ecot...
Background: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumour in children, accounting for 15% of paediatric cancer deaths. Multiple genetic abnormalities have been identified as prognostically significant in neuroblastoma patients. Optical g...
Background: The aim of this prospective follow-up study was to evaluate changes in body composition parameters and Mediterranean diet (MeDi) adherence among kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) over a three-year period. Additionally, this study sought...
It is estimated that around 10–15% of the population have problems achieving a pregnancy. Assisted reproduction techniques implemented and enforced by personalized genomic medicine have paved the way for millions of infertile patients to become...
Lake Victoria in East Africa supports the livelihood of thousands of fishermen and it is estimated that 3000–5000 human deaths occur per year over the lake. It is hypothesized that most of these fatalities are due to localized, severe winds pro...
Background and objectives: There is poor knowledge on the role of diet in relation to mortality among cancer survivors. Available studies have mainly focused on diet quality, regardless of food processing, a well-described risk factor in numerous coh...
Background/Objectives: Ibrutinib has revolutionized the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia but has off-target side effects, most notably cardiac. In order to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of ibrutinib treatment, risk factors for adverse o...
