Prediction of blood supply in vestibular schwannomas using radiomics machine learning classifiers.

ABSTRACT: This study attempts to explore the radiomics-based features of multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and construct a machine-learning model to predict the blood supply in vestibular schwannoma preoperatively. By retrospectively collecting the preoperative MRI data of patients with vestibular schwannoma, patients were divided into poor and rich blood supply groups according to the intraoperative recording. Patients were divided into training and test cohorts (2:1), randomly. Stable features were retained by intra-group correlation coefficients (ICCs). Four feature selection methods and four classification methods were evaluated to construct favorable radiomics classifiers. The mean area under the curve (AUC) obtained in the test set for different combinations of feature selecting methods and classifiers was calculated separately to compare the performance of the models. Obtain and compare the best combination results with the performance of differentiation through visual observation in clinical diagnosis. 191 patients were included in this study. 3918 stable features were extracted from each patient. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and logistic regression model was selected as the optimal combinations after comparing the AUC calculated by models, which predicted the blood supply of vestibular schwannoma by K-Fold cross-validation method with a mean AUC = 0.88 and F1-score = 0.83. Radiomics machine-learning classifiers can accurately predict the blood supply of vestibular schwannoma by preoperative MRI data.

Project description:BackgroundInflammatory mediators play havoc in several diseases including the novel Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and generally correlate with the severity of the disease. Interleukin-13 (IL-13), is a pleiotropic cytokine that is known to be associated with airway inflammation in asthma and reactive airway diseases, in neoplastic and autoimmune diseases. Interestingly, the recent association of IL-13 with COVID-19 severity has sparked interest in this cytokine. Therefore characterization of new molecules which can regulate IL-13 induction might lead to novel therapeutics.ResultsHere, we present an improved prediction of IL-13-inducing peptides. The positive and negative datasets were obtained from a recent study (IL13Pred) and the Pfeature algorithm was used to compute features for the peptides. As compared to the state-of-the-art which used the regularization based feature selection technique (linear support vector classifier with the L1 penalty), we used a multivariate feature selection technique (minimum redundancy maximum relevance) to obtain non-redundant and highly relevant features. In the proposed study (improved IL-13 prediction (iIL13Pred)), the use of the mRMR feature selection method is instrumental in choosing the most discriminatory features of IL-13-inducing peptides with improved performance. We investigated seven common machine learning classifiers including Decision Tree, Gaussian Naïve Bayes, k-Nearest Neighbour, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, and extreme gradient boosting to efficiently classify IL-13-inducing peptides. We report improved AUC, and MCC scores of 0.83 and 0.33 on validation data as compared to the current method.ConclusionsExtensive benchmarking experiments suggest that the proposed method (iIL13Pred) could provide improved performance metrics in terms of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, the area under the curve - receiver operating characteristics (AUCROC) and Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) than the existing state-of-the-art approach (IL13Pred) on the validation dataset and an external dataset comprising of experimentally validated IL-13-inducing peptides. Additionally, the experiments were performed with an increased number of experimentally validated training datasets to obtain a more robust model. A user-friendly web server ( www.soodlab.com/iil13pred ) is also designed to facilitate rapid screening of IL-13-inducing peptides.

Project description:ObjectivesEvaluation of the feasibility of using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) radiomics in the prediction of incident atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke using machine learning techniques.MethodsWe identified participants from the UK Biobank who experienced incident AF, HF, MI, or stroke during the continuous longitudinal follow-up. The CMR indices and the vascular risk factors (VRFs) as well as the CMR images were obtained for each participant. Three-segmented regions of interest (ROIs) were computed: right ventricle cavity, left ventricle (LV) cavity, and LV myocardium in end-systole and end-diastole phases. Radiomics features were extracted from the 3D volumes of the ROIs. Seven integrative models were built for each incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) as an outcome. Each model was built with VRF, CMR indices, and radiomics features and a combination of them. Support vector machine was used for classification. To assess the model performance, the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC were reported.ResultsAF prediction model using the VRF+CMR+Rad model (accuracy: 0.71, AUC 0.76) obtained the best result. However, the AUC was similar to the VRF+Rad model. HF showed the most significant improvement with the inclusion of CMR metrics (VRF+CMR+Rad: 0.79, AUC 0.84). Moreover, adding only the radiomics features to the VRF reached an almost similarly good performance (VRF+Rad: accuracy 0.77, AUC 0.83). Prediction models looking into incident MI and stroke reached slightly smaller improvement.ConclusionsRadiomics features may provide incremental predictive value over VRF and CMR indices in the prediction of incident CVDs.Key points• Prediction of incident atrial fibrillation, heart failure, stroke, and myocardial infarction using machine learning techniques. • CMR radiomics, vascular risk factors, and standard CMR indices will be considered in the machine learning models. • The experiments show that radiomics features can provide incremental predictive value over VRF and CMR indices in the prediction of incident cardiovascular diseases.

Project description:BACKGROUND:In plants, long non-protein coding RNAs are believed to have essential roles in development and stress responses. However, relative to advances on discerning biological roles for long non-protein coding RNAs in animal systems, this RNA class in plants is largely understudied. With comparatively few validated plant long non-coding RNAs, research on this potentially critical class of RNA is hindered by a lack of appropriate prediction tools and databases. Supervised learning models trained on data sets of mostly non-validated, non-coding transcripts have been previously used to identify this enigmatic RNA class with applications largely focused on animal systems. Our approach uses a training set comprised only of empirically validated long non-protein coding RNAs from plant, animal, and viral sources to predict and rank candidate long non-protein coding gene products for future functional validation. RESULTS:Individual stochastic gradient boosting and random forest classifiers trained on only empirically validated long non-protein coding RNAs were constructed. In order to use the strengths of multiple classifiers, we combined multiple models into a single stacking meta-learner. This ensemble approach benefits from the diversity of several learners to effectively identify putative plant long non-coding RNAs from transcript sequence features. When the predicted genes identified by the ensemble classifier were compared to those listed in GreeNC, an established plant long non-coding RNA database, overlap for predicted genes from Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa and Eutrema salsugineum ranged from 51 to 83% with the highest agreement in Eutrema salsugineum. Most of the highest ranking predictions from Arabidopsis thaliana were annotated as potential natural antisense genes, pseudogenes, transposable elements, or simply computationally predicted hypothetical protein. Due to the nature of this tool, the model can be updated as new long non-protein coding transcripts are identified and functionally verified. CONCLUSIONS:This ensemble classifier is an accurate tool that can be used to rank long non-protein coding RNA predictions for use in conjunction with gene expression studies. Selection of plant transcripts with a high potential for regulatory roles as long non-protein coding RNAs will advance research in the elucidation of long non-protein coding RNA function.
