Machine learning reveals genetic biomarkers to predict perforated appendicitis in children
Announcement of genetic biomarker for pediatric appendicitis A recent groundbreaking study utilized machine learning to identify genetic biomarkers that can predict perforated appendicitis (PA) in children. Appendicitis is a common pediatric disease that requires urgent surgical intervention, and timely and accurate diagnosis has always been a challenge, especially in the case of perforation. PA has […]
Identification of genetic biomarkers to predict perforated appendicitis in children
A groundbreaking study uses machine learning to identify genetic biomarkers to predict perforated appendicitis in children. This development has the potential to significantly improve patient management decision-making and contribute to evidence-based strategies for antibiotic stewardship. However, due to the low specificity of the biomarker, further studies are required to validate its accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. […]
Study finds black patients with metastatic colorectal cancer have different genetic mutations than white patients
January 16, 2024 In a study of more than 500 people who received standard treatments for advanced colorectal cancer, researchers at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center found that black patients showed distinctly different patterns of genetic mutations compared to white patients. reported. This finding may reflect environmental exposures common in colorectal cancers that occur […]
