Applying Machine Learning Algorithms to Predict Endometriosis Onset
Authors: J. Kleczyk Ewa , Yadav Tarachand , Amirtharaj Stalin 
Published: December 2021

Endometriosis is a commonly occurring progressive gynecological disorder, in which tissues similar to the lining of the uterus grow on other parts of the female body, including ovaries, fallopian tubes, and bowel. It is one of the primary causes of pelvic discomfort and fertility challenges in women. The actual cause of the endometriosis is still undetermined. As a result, the objective of the chapter is to identify the drivers of endometriosis’ diagnoses via leveraging selected advanced machine learning (ML) algorithms. The primary risks of infertility and other health complications can be minimized to a greater extent if a likelihood of endometriosis could be predicted well in advance. Logistic regression (LR) and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) algorithms leveraged 36 months of medical history data to demonstrate the feasibility. Several direct and indirect features were identified as important to an accurate prediction of the condition onset, including selected diagnosis and procedure codes. Creating analytical tools based on the model results that could be integrated into the Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems and easily accessed by healthcare providers might aid the objective of improving the diagnostic processes and result in a timely and precise diagnosis, ultimately increasing patient care and quality of life.

Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are both prevalent medical conditions that are frequently accompanied with neurologic and neuromuscular dysfunction. Triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) hormones are produced by the thyroid gland and play a crucial role in tissue formation and metabolism. Both of these hormones have a variety of impacts on the brain and neuromuscular system. Specially in children, because brain development can be effected by any disturbances in Thyroidal hormones level. And thus, conditions like Allan-Herndon-Dudley Syndrome & Benign Hereditary Chorea is considered genetic thyroidal diseases both will be discussed in this review. hypothyroidism can have serious consequences for neuropsychiatric function. The pathophysiological processes underlying the neurological symptoms of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are likely to be multifactorial, in this review we will be looking at multiple neurological as well as psychiatric manifestations related to thyroidal hormones disorders.
Methods: We used the phrases "hypothyroidism," "hyperthyroidism," "neurological problems," "neuropathy," "myopathy," "congenital hypothyroidism," and "encephalopathy" in a PubMed search, google scholar and google search engines. Case series, individual case reports, systematic reviews, retrospective analyses, and randomized controlled trials were among the papers examined. Classification of thyroidal dysfunction has been made depending on the thyroidal hormones level. The neurological consequences of congenital hypothyroidism were examined, as well as the clinical aspects of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism-related neuromuscular disorders, as well as other autoimmune illnesses. Hashimoto encephalopathy's evidence and pathophysiological issues were also examined.
Conclusion: Thyroid is critical organ due to role of its thyroidal hormones, both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism induce some serious neurological and phycological disorders, some of which is genetic, hypothyroidism can impact the development of child and thus regular thyroidal hormones testing is recommended in children who demonstrates any signs of neurological psychiatric or cognitive disease.

Authors: Ali Maysaa Ali Hassan , Abdallah Elharam Ibrahim , Omer Alaa Eltayeb , Eltayeb Lienda Bashier 
Published: December 2021

Background: Patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) have been found to have an aberrant coagulation profile. One of the primary elements hypothesized to contribute to the vaso-occlusive crisis that characterizes sickle cell disease is coagulopathy (SCD)
Material and Methods: A total of 150 children were enrolled as follows, 50 children with Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) in steady-state, 50 in crisis, and 50 with Hb AA genotype as control. 5 ml of Venous blood was collected. The platelets count was performed using Sysmex KX21N, the electrical impedance principle. The Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) is derived from the impedance platelet size distribution curve. STAGO PT31039352) semi-automated machine was used for estimation of PT, and APTT.
Result: children with SCA have significantly a prolonged PT, and APTT compared with children with normal hemoglobin genotype (P. value < 0.001) the mean of PT was (16.64, and 12.6) respectively, and APTT (41.45 and 37.94) consequently. A significant increase in platelet count between patients with SCA when compared with control (p. value 0.02), however a significant prolonged in APTT when compared to steady-state (P. value 0.005). MPV among children with crises when compared with steady-state revealed a significant result (p. value 0.006) the mean of MPV in steady-state = 6.79 while the mean of MPV in crisis = 7.09.
Conclusion: children with sickle cell anemia had a longer coagulation profile and marked variation in platelet count, which may increase the risk of thrombosis or bleeding.
