Artificial intelligence to improve ischemia prediction in Rubidium Positron Emission Tomography —a validation study
ConclusionThe MPA model enhanced ischemia testing according to the PPPM framework:The MPA model improved individual prediction of ischemia significantly and could safely exclude ischemia based on readily available variables without advanced testing ( “predictive”).It reduced the proportion of patients in the intermediate PTP range. Therefore, it could be used as a gatekeeper to prevent patients from further unnecessary downstream testing, radiation exposure and costs ( “preventive”).Consequently, the MPA model could transform ischemia testing towards a more personalised diagnostic algorithm ( “personalised”).

Conceptualised psycho-medical footprint for health status outcomes and the potential impacts for early detection and prevention of chronic diseases in the context of 3P medicine
ConclusionsWe have demonstrated the feasibility of creating dynamic visualizers of the evolutionary trends in the relationships between the domains of SHSQ-25 relative to health status outcomes. This will provide in-depth comprehension of the conceptual model to inform personalised strategies to circumvent SHS. Additionally, the findings have implications for both health care and disease prevention because at-risk individuals can be predicted and prioritised for monitoring, and targeted intervention can begin before their symptoms reach an irreversible stage.

Predicting 1-, 3-, 5-, and 8-year all-cause mortality in a community-dwelling older adult cohort: relevance for predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine
ConclusionThe personalized risk prediction model can identify individuals at high risk of all-cause mortality, help offer primary care to prevent all-cause mortality, and provide personalized medical treatment for these high-risk individuals from the PPPM perspective. Strict control of daily liquor consumption, lowering fasting glucose, raising hemoglobin, controlling heart rate, and treatment of heart block could be beneficial for improving survival in elderly populations.

Emerging frontiers of artificial intelligence and machine learning in ischemic stroke: a comprehensive investigation of state-of-the-art methodologies, clinical applications, and unraveling challenges
AbstractAt present, stroke remains the second highest cause of death globally and a leading cause of disability. From 1990 to 2019, the absolute number of strokes worldwide increased by 70.0%, and the prevalence of stroke increased by 85.0%, causing millions of deaths and disability. Ischemic stroke accounts for the majority of strokes, which is caused by arterial occlusion. Effective primary prevention strategies, early diagnosis, and timely interventions such as rapid reperfusion are in urgent implementation to control ischemic stroke. Otherwise, the stroke burden will probably continue to grow across the world as a resu...

Development and validation of a short-form suboptimal health status questionnaire
ConclusionsWe developed a short form of the SHS questionnaire that demonstrated sound reliability and validity when assessing SHS in Chinese residents. From a PPPM/3PM perspective, the SHSQ-SF is recommended for the rapid screening of individuals with SHS in large-scale populations. (Source: EPMA Journal)

Machine learning –couched treatment algorithms tailored to individualized profile of patients with primary anterior chamber angle closure predisposed to the glaucomatous optic neuropathy
AbstractBackgroundPrimary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) is still one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness, with a trend towards an increase in the number of patients to 32.04 million by 2040, an increase of 58.4% compared with 2013. Health risk assessment based on multi-level diagnostics and machine learning –couched treatment algorithms tailored to individualized profile of patients with primary anterior chamber angle closure are considered essential tools to reverse the trend and protect vulnerable subpopulations against health-to-disease progression.AimTo develop a methodology for personalized choice of an ...

The correlation between primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and gut microbiota: a pilot study towards predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine
ConclusionThis bioinformatic study elucidates NFKB1, IL18, KITLG, TLR9, FKBP2, and HDAC4 as hub genes for POAG and GM regulation. Immune response modulated by macrophages plays an important role in POAG and may be potential targets for future predictive, preventive, and personalized diagnosis and treatment.

Quantitative phosphoproteomics reveals molecular pathway network alterations in human early-stage primary hepatic carcinomas: potential for 3P medical approach
ConclusionsIdentification and annotation of phosphoproteomes and phosphorylation-mediated signaling pathways in human early-stage primary hepatic carcinoma tissues provided new directions for tumor prevention and treatment, which (i) helps to enrich phosphorylation functional research and develop new biomarkers; (ii) enriches phosphorylation-mediated signaling pathways to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms of early-stage primary hepatic carcinoma; and (iii) develops anti-tumor drugs that facilitate targeted phosphorylated sites. We recommend quantitative phosphoproteomics in early-stage primary hepati...

COVID-19 lessons to protect populations against future pandemics by implementing PPPM principles in healthcare
AbstractThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has continued for more than 3  years, placing a huge burden on society worldwide. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared an end to COVID-19 as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), it is still considered a global threat. Previously, there has been a long debate as to whether the COVID-19 emergency will eventually end or transform into a more common infectious disease from a PHEIC, and how should countries respond to similar pandemics in the future more time-efficiently and cost-effectively. We reviewed the past, middle and cu...
