The Relationship among Physical Activity, Intestinal Flora, and Cardiovascular Disease by Qiuyu Yan, Wenhui Zhai, Chenghao Yang, Zihao Li, Longfei Mao, Mingyi Zhao, Xiushan Wu

“…Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which are associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide, include atherosclerosis (AS), hypertension, heart failure (HF), atrial fibrillation, and myocardial fibrosis. CVDs are influenced by the diversity, distribution, and metabolites of intestinal microflora, and their risk can be reduced through physical activity (PA) such as regular exercise. …”

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and the risk of stroke: a systematic review protocol by Jennifer K Quint, Ann D Morgan, Chetna Sharma, Kieran J Rothnie

“…Introduction There is good evidence to suggest that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) increases the risk of ischaemic heart disease, in particular myocardial infarction (MI). The relationship between stroke and COPD, however, is not as well established, and studies conducted to date have generated conflicting results.Methods and analysis MEDLINE and Embase will be searched for relevant articles using a prespecified search strategy. …”

A Perspective on Explainable Artificial Intelligence Methods: SHAP and LIME by Ahmed M. Salih, Zahra Raisi‐Estabragh, Ilaria Boscolo Galazzo, Petia Radeva, Steffen E. Petersen, Karim Lekadir, Gloria Menegaz

“…Specifically, their outcomes in terms of model‐dependency and in the presence of collinearity among the features, relying on a case study from the biomedical domain (classification of individuals with or without myocardial infarction) are discussed. The results indicate that SHAP and LIME are highly affected by the adopted ML model and feature collinearity, raising a note of caution on their usage and interpretation.…”
