Article Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common type of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. To detect the spatial trends of GC risk based on hospital-diagnosed patients, this study presented a selection probability model and integrated it into the Bayesian spatial statistical model. Then, the spatial pattern of GC risk in Shanxi Province in north central China was estimated. In addition, factors influencing GC were investigated mainly using the Bayesian Lasso model. The spatial variability of GC risk in Shanxi has the conspicuous feature of being 'high in the south and low in the north'. The highest GC relative risk was 1.291 (95% highest posterior density: 0.789⁻4.002). The univariable analysis and Bayesian Lasso regression results showed that a diverse dietary structure and increased consumption of beef and cow milk were significantly ( ≤ 0.08) and in high probability (greater than 68%) negatively associated with GC risk. Pork production per capita has a positive correlation with GC risk. Moreover, four geographic factors, namely, temperature, terrain, vegetation cover, and precipitation, showed significant ( < 0.05) associations with GC risk based on univariable analysis, and associated with GC risks in high probability (greater than 60%) inferred from Bayesian Lasso regression model.

Background: The pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has become a vital prognostic indicator for patients with breast cancer (BC). The newly generated models depended on rather basic imaging and pathology characteristics and did not sufficiently elucidate the importance of the incorporated data. The purpose of this study is to establish and authenticate a machine learning model for predicting the pathological complete response to NAC using baseline clinical and pathological features in BC patients.

Biclustering has gained interest in gene expression data analysis due to its ability to identify groups of samples that exhibit similar behaviour in specific subsets of genes (or vice versa), in contrast to traditional clustering methods that classify samples based on all genes. Despite advances, biclustering remains a challenging problem, even with cutting-edge methodologies. This paper introduces an extension of the recently proposed Spike-and-Slab Lasso Biclustering (SSLB) algorithm, termed Outcome-Guided SSLB (OG-SSLB), aimed at enhancing the identification of biclusters in gene expression analysis.

Background: With global ageing trends, the well-being of older adults is a growing concern. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common ailment among older adults, often accompanied by mental distress such as depression and anxiety. This study investigates how family support impacts the comorbidity of depression and anxiety in older adults, comparing healthy individuals with those afflicted by CKD.

Background: Multimorbidity is increasingly prevalent among older adults and poses significant challenges to public health systems. While previous studies have highlighted the role of individual behaviors, the complex interaction between lifestyle factors and socioeconomic status (SES) in multimorbidity remains unclear.
Methods: Using nationally representative data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), we developed predictive models to identify key determinants of multimorbidity among individuals aged ≥60 years.
