    The Determination of Distinctive Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Sets for the Diagnosis of Behcet's Disease
    (IEEE Computer Soc, 2022-05-01) Isik, Yunus Emre; Gormez, Yasin; Aydin, Zafer; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu
    Behcet's Disease (BD) is a multi-system inflammatory disorder in which the etiology remains unclear. The most probable hypothesis is that genetic tendency and environmental factors play roles in the development of BD. In order to find the essential reasons, genetic changes on thousands of genes should be analyzed. Besides, there is a need for extra analysis to find out which genetic factor affects the disease. Machine learning approaches have high potential for extracting the knowledge from genomics and selecting the representative Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) as the most effective features for the clinical diagnosis process. In this study, we have attempted to identify representative SNPs using feature selection methods, incorporating biological information and aimed to develop a machine-learning model for diagnosing Behcet's disease. By combining biological information and machine learning classifiers, up to 99.64 percent accuracy of disease prediction is achieved using only 13,611 out of 311,459 SNPs. In addition, we revealed the SNPs that are most distinctive by performing repeated feature selection in cross-validation experiments.

    Molecular Mechanisms of Drug Resistance and Its Reversal in Cancer
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd healthcare.enquiries@informa.com, 2015-03-11) Kartal Yandim, Melis; Adan Gökbulut, Aysun; Baran, Yusuf; Adan-Gokbulut, Aysun; Kartal-Yandim, Melis
    Chemotherapy is the main strategy for the treatment of cancer. However, the main problem limiting the success of chemotherapy is the development of multidrug resistance. The resistance can be intrinsic or acquired. The resistance phenotype is associated with the tumor cells that gain a cross-resistance to a large range of drugs that are structurally and functionally different. Multidrug resistance arises via many unrelated mechanisms, such as overexpression of energy-dependent efflux proteins, decrease in uptake of the agents, increase or alteration in drug targets, modification of cell cycle checkpoints, inactivation of the agents, compartmentalization of the agents, inhibition of apoptosis and aberrant bioactive sphingolipid metabolism. Exact elucidation of resistance mechanisms and molecular and biochemical approaches to overcome multidrug resistance have been a major goal in cancer research. This review comprises the mechanisms guiding multidrug resistance in cancer chemotherapy and also touches on approaches for reversing the resistance. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Building a Challenging Medical Dataset for Comparative Evaluation of Classifier Capabilities
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2024-08) Bozkurt, Berat; Coskun, Kerem; Bakal, Gokhan
    Since the 2000s, digitalization has been a crucial transformation in our lives. Nevertheless, digitalization brings a bulk of unstructured textual data to be processed, including articles, clinical records, web pages, and shared social media posts. As a critical analysis, the classification task classifies the given textual entities into correct categories. Categorizing documents from different domains is straightforward since the instances are unlikely to contain similar contexts. However, document classification in a single domain is more complicated due to sharing the same context. Thus, we aim to classify medical articles about four common cancer types (Leukemia, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Bladder Cancer, and Thyroid Cancer) by constructing machine learning and deep learning models. We used 383,914 medical articles about four common cancer types collected by the PubMed API. To build classification models, we split the dataset into 70% as training, 20% as testing, and 10% as validation. We built widely used machine-learning (Logistic Regression, XGBoost, CatBoost, and Random Forest Classifiers) and modern deep-learning (convolutional neural networks - CNN, long short-term memory - LSTM, and gated recurrent unit - GRU) models. We computed the average classification performances (precision, recall, F-score) to evaluate the models over ten distinct dataset splits. The best-performing deep learning model(s) yielded a superior F1 score of 98%. However, traditional machine learning models also achieved reasonably high F1 scores, 95% for the worst-performing case. Ultimately, we constructed multiple models to classify articles, which compose a hard-to-classify dataset in the medical domain. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
