Understanding the development of physical fitness in boys and girls with MID, and identifying sex-related differences can help devise interventional programs to improve physical fitness in these groups. The aim of this study was to compare sex differences in the time-dependent changes in health-related physical fitness components in individuals with MID. A longitudinal design was employed over three years. A total of 111 individuals with MID (46 girls and 65 boys) aged between 10 and 14 years (mean age 11.97 +/- 1.39 years) participated in the study. The physical fitness levels of the participants were assessed using the Brockport Physical Fitness Test (BPFT) battery. The tests included body composition (body height, body mass, and body mass index), aerobic endurance (15 m Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) test), and musculoskeletal function (dominant handgrip strength, back-saver sit-and-reach, and trunk lift). The results revealed that, over time, the longitudinal developmental trajectories for body mass, body height, aerobic endurance, and dominant handgrip strength were more favorable for boys. However, the longitudinal development curves for body mass index (BMI), trunk lift, and flexibility were similar for both boys and girls. The findings of this study provide valuable evidence for developing targeted physical activity programs for individuals with MID, and demonstrate the need for programs aimed at increasing aerobic endurance and muscle strength in girls with MID.Article Citation - WoS: 26Citation - Scopus: 31miRcorrNet: Machine Learning-Based Integration of miRNA and mRNA Expression Profiles, Combined with Feature Grouping and Ranking(PeerJ Inc., 2021-05-19) Yousef, M.; Göy, G.; Mitra, R.; Eischen, C.M.; Jabeer, A.; Bakir-Güngör, B.A better understanding of disease development and progression mechanisms at the molecular level is critical both for the diagnosis of a disease and for the development of therapeutic approaches. The advancements in high throughput technologies allowed to generate mRNA and microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles; and the integrative analysis of these profiles allowed to uncover the functional effects of RNA expression in complex diseases, such as cancer. Several researches attempt to integrate miRNA and mRNA expression profiles using statistical methods such as Pearson correlation, and then combine it with enrichment analysis. In this study, we developed a novel tool called miRcorrNet, which performs machine learning-based integration to analyze miRNA and mRNA gene expression profiles. miRcorrNet groups mRNAs based on their correlation to miRNA expression levels and hence it generates groups of target genes associated with each miRNA. Then, these groups are subject to a rank function for classification. We have evaluated our tool using miRNA and mRNA expression profiling data downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and performed comparative evaluation with existing tools. In our experiments we show that miRcorrNet performs as good as other tools in terms of accuracy (reaching more than 95% AUC value). Additionally, miRcorrNet includes ranking steps to separate two classes, namely case and control, which is not available in other tools. We have also evaluated the performance of miRcorrNet using a completely independent dataset. Moreover, we conducted a comprehensive literature search to explore the biological functions of the identified miRNAs. We have validated our significantly identified miRNA groups against known databases, which yielded about 90% accuracy. Our results suggest that miRcorrNet is able to accurately prioritize pan-cancer regulating high-confidence miRNAs. miRcorrNet tool and all other supplementary files are available at https://github.com/ malikyousef/miRcorrNet. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - Scopus: 5CSA-DE-LR Enhancing Cardiovascular Disease Diagnosis With a Novel Hybrid Machine Learning Approach(PeerJ Inc., 2024-07-18) Dedeturk, Beyhan Adanur; Dedeturk, Bilge Kagan; Bakir-Güngör, BurcuCardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading cause of mortality globally, necessitating the development of efficient diagnostic tools. Machine learning (ML) and metaheuristic algorithms have become prevalent in addressing these challenges, providing promising solutions in medical diagnostics. However, traditional ML approaches often need to be improved in feature selection and optimization, leading to suboptimal performance in complex diagnostic tasks. To overcome these limitations, this study introduces a new hybrid method called CSA-DE-LR, which combines the clonal selection algorithm (CSA) and differential evolution (DE) with logistic regression. This integration is designed to optimize logistic regression weights efficiently for the accurate classification of CVD. The methodology employs three optimization strategies based on the F1 score, the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC), and the mean absolute error (MAE). Extensive evaluations on benchmark datasets, namely Cleveland and Statlog, reveal that CSA-DELR outperforms state-of-the-art ML methods. In addition, generalization is evaluated using the Breast Cancer Wisconsin Original (WBCO) and Breast Cancer Wisconsin Diagnostic (WBCD) datasets. Significantly, the proposed model demonstrates superior efficacy compared to previous research studies in this domain. This study’s findings highlight the potential of hybrid machine learning approaches for improving diagnostic accuracy, offering a significant advancement in the fields of medical data analysis and CVD diagnosis. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - Scopus: 4Aguhyper: a Hyperledger-Based Electronic Health Record Management Framework(PeerJ Inc., 2024-05-22) Dedeturk, Beyhan Adanur; Bakir-Güngör, BurcuThe increasing importance of healthcare records, particularly given the emergence of new diseases, emphasizes the need for secure electronic storage and dissemination. With these records dispersed across diverse healthcare entities, their physical maintenance proves to be excessively time-consuming. The prevalent management of electronic healthcare records (EHRs) presents inherent security vulnerabilities, including susceptibility to attacks and potential breaches orchestrated by malicious actors. To tackle these challenges, this article introduces AguHyper, a secure storage and sharing solution for EHRs built on a permissioned blockchain framework. AguHyper utilizes Hyperledger Fabric and the InterPlanetary Distributed File System (IPFS). Hyperledger Fabric establishes the blockchain network, while IPFS manages the off-chain storage of encrypted data, with hash values securely stored within the blockchain. Focusing on security, privacy, scalability, and data integrity, AguHyper’s decentralized architecture eliminates single points of failure and ensures transparency for all network participants. The study develops a prototype to address gaps identified in prior research, providing insights into blockchain technology applications in healthcare. Detailed analyses of system architecture, AguHyper’s implementation configurations, and performance assessments with diverse datasets are provided. The experimental setup incorporates CouchDB and the Raft consensus mechanism, enabling a thorough comparison of system performance against existing studies in terms of throughput and latency. This contributes significantly to a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed solution and offers a unique perspective on existing literature in the field. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
