BACKGROUND Phenotypic features associated with genes and diseases play an important role in disease-related studies and most of the available methods focus solely on the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database without considering the controlled vocabulary. The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) provides a standardized and controlled vocabulary covering phenotypic abnormalities in human ...

Abstract Hyperparameter optimization (HPO) is a necessary step to ensure the best possible performance of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. Several methods have been developed perform HPO; most these are focused on optimizing one measure (usually an error-based measure), and literature such single-objective HPO problems vast. Recently, though, algorithms appeared that focus multiple conflicting...

The characteristics of holistic, dynamics, complexity, and spatial and temporal features enable "Omics" and theories of TCM to interlink with each other. HPO, namely, "characterization," can be understood as a sorting and generalization of the manifestations shown by people with diseases on the basis of the phenomics. Syndrome is the overall "manifestation" of human body pathological and physio...

The effects of several aldehydes and peroxides on growth and differentiation of normal human bronchial epithelial cells were studied. Cells were exposed to formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, benzoyl peroxide (BPO), or hydrogen peroxide (HPO). The effect of each agent on the following parameters was measured: (a) clonal growth rate; (b) squamous differentiation; (c) DNA damage; (d) ornithine decarboxyl...

Marijuana use among women is highly prevalent, but the societal conversation on marijuana rarely focuses on how marijuana affects female reproduction and endocrinology. This article reviews the current scientific literature regarding marijuana use and hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis regulation, ovarian hormone production, the menstrual cycle, and fertility. Evidence suggests that mari...

The Hippo pathway is a key signaling cascade in controlling organ size. The core components of this pathway are two kinases, Hippo (Hpo) and Warts (Wts), and a transcriptional coactivator, Yorkie (Yki). Yes-associated protein (YAP, a Yki homolog in mammals) promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cell migration in vitro. Here, we use border cells in the Drosophila ovary as a model to stu...

In a screen for gene copy-number changes in mouse mammary tumors, we identified a tumor with a small 350-kb amplicon from a region that is syntenic to a much larger locus amplified in human cancers at chromosome 11q22. The mouse amplicon contains only one known gene, Yap, encoding the mammalian ortholog of Drosophila Yorkie (Yki), a downstream effector of the Hippo(Hpo)-Salvador(Sav)-Warts(Wts)...

The title compound, AgMg(3)(PO(4))(HPO(4))(2), which has been synthesized by the hydro-thermal method, has an alluaudite-like structure which is formed by edge-sharing MgO(6) octa-hedra (one of which has symmetry 2), resulting in chains linked together by phosphate groups and hydrogen bonds. The three-dimensional framework leads to two different channels along the c axis, one of which is occupi...

Infertility is defined as inability of a couple to conceive within a certain period of time one to two years of frequent unprotected intercourse [1]. It is seldom a physically debilitating disease, but couple’s psychosocial harmony is severely affected. The important causes of infertility in female are tubal and peritoneal factors (25-35%), ovulatory factors (30-40%), endometriosis (1-10%) [2]....

Health Psychology Open (HPO) is a peer-review, openaccess, online-only journal in which authors/funders pay to publish, meaning that readers everywhere will read the articles for free. It is a companion journal to the wellestablished Journal of Health Psychology (JHP). The aim of HPO is to support and help shape research in health psychology from around the world using the speed and universal c...
