The aim of this study was to measure the impact of genetic data in improving the prediction of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study cohort. The current study was performed in 3,426 Swedish individuals and utilizes of a set of genetic and environmental risk data. We first validated our environmental risk model by comparing it to both the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score and the T2...

Link prediction is an important problem in network data mining, which dedicated to predicting the potential relationship between nodes network. Normally, link based on supervised classification will be trained a dataset consisting of set positive samples and negative samples. However, well-labeled training datasets with annotations are always inadequate real-world scenarios, contain large numbe...

Department of Animal Science,Faculty of Agriculture,University of Uyo, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria A total of 40 New Zealand white rabbits were used in a study where prediction models were developed for predicting live weight and evaluating the carcass. In the study, six body measurements namely, body length, thigh circumference, shank length, chest width, body circumference and girth were de...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the value of detecting insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) in the cervical-vaginal secretion in the prediction of delivery in women with clinically uncorfirmed preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 87 women, gestational age between 20 and 36 weeks were enrolled into this prospective s...

This paper studies value predictor design under table access latency and energy constraints for high-frequency, wide-issue microprocessors. Previous value prediction efforts make generous assumptions regarding table sizes and access conditions, while ignoring prediction latencies and energy issues. Our work shows that the latency of a high-performance value predictor cannot be completely hidden...

abstract   background: squamous cell carcinoma (scc) constitutes the main oral malignancy . parallel to better understanding of molecular and genetic patterns of tumor behavior, more precise correlation of tumor markers such as epidermal growth factor (egf) and laminin-5 are sought to estimate macroscopic and microscopic tumor status .   methods: we conducted a cross-sectional study collecting ...

BACKGROUND Flood is one of the most common and severe forms of natural disasters. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common disorder among victims of various disasters including flood. Early prediction for PTSD could benefit the prevention and treatment of PTSD. This study aimed to establish a prediction model for the occurrence of PTSD among adults in flood districts. METHODS A cross-...

OBJECTIVE In view of the side effects of voiding cystourethrography (VCUG), identification of noninvasive markers predicting the presence of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is important. This study was conducted to determine the predictive value of serum interleukin-8 (IL-8) in diagnosis of VUR in children with first febrile urinary tract infection (UTI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty children wit...
