trata de un sistema que a trav\u00e9s de datos lograr\u00eda predecir los efectos secundarios o reacciones en pacientes al recibir alg\u00fan tipo de medicamento. El investigador paraguayo Diego Galeano, que forma parte del Programa Nacional de Inventivo a los Investigadores (PRONII) del Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnolog\u00eda (CONACYT) en colaboraci\u00f3n con el especialista en aprendizaje autom\u00e1tico e Inteligencia artificial (IA), Alberto Paccanaro, han desarrollado este modelo de IA que predice la probabilidad de predecir reacciones o efectos secundarios en pacientes al recibir su tratamiento. En septiembre fue publicado el articulo: Predecir la frecuencia de los efectos secundarios de los medicamentos, en la revista Nature Communications. \u201cPresentamos un enfoque de aprendizaje autom\u00e1tico para predecir las frecuencias de los efectos secundarios de los medicamentos.&nbsp;Mostramos la utilidad de nuestro enfoque para f\u00e1rmacos de m\u00faltiples clases terap\u00e9uticas y efectos secundarios pertenecientes a todos los sistemas fisiol\u00f3gicos.&nbsp;Dada una peque\u00f1a cantidad de efectos secundarios determinados experimentalmente, nuestro m\u00e9todo predice las frecuencias de una gama m\u00e1s amplia de efectos secundarios desconocidos.&nbsp;Hasta donde sabemos, este es el primer m\u00e9todo computacional que aborda con \u00e9xito el problema de predecir la frecuencia de los efectos secundarios de los medicamentos\u201d. El prop\u00f3sito del este novedoso m\u00e9todo es predecir los efectos secundarios de los medicamentos para evitar riesgos en los pacientes que pueden llegar a ser letales. Incluso otra de las problem\u00e1ticas que podr\u00eda resolver es evitar el desabasto de algunos medicamentos.&nbsp; Adem\u00e1s de los beneficios a los consumidores finales de los medicamentos, este algoritmo lograr\u00eda ahorrar una enorme cantidad de dinero en las inversiones que realizan las compa\u00f1\u00edas farmac\u00e9uticas para desarrollar nuevos f\u00e1rmacos. Alberto Paccanaro, Profesor de Biolog\u00eda Computacional de Royal Holloway, en la Universidad de Londres, resalt\u00f3 la relevancia de este proyecto: \u201cExisten varios ejemplos de medicamentos que tuvieron que ser retirados del mercado debido a efectos secundarios desconocidos. Nuestro trabajo ayudar\u00e1 a desarrollar medicamentos m\u00e1s seguros para los pacientes.\u201d \u201cNuestro enfoque para predecir las frecuencias de los efectos secundarios de los medicamentos es utilizar un algoritmo de descomposici\u00f3n matricial que aprende un peque\u00f1o conjunto de caracter\u00edsticas latentes (o firmas) que codifican la interacci\u00f3n biol\u00f3gica entre los medicamentos y los efectos secundarios\u201d, explican en la secci\u00f3n de Discusi\u00f3n en el art\u00edculo. Los f\u00e1rmacos fueron agrupados en funci\u00f3n de sus principales clases anat\u00f3micas, terap\u00e9uticas y qu\u00edmicas, mientras que los efectos secundarios fueron agrupados seg\u00fan sus categor\u00edas de clasificaci\u00f3n de \u00f3rganos y sistemas en MedDRA (Medical&nbsp;Dictionary for Regulatory Activities). El algoritmo de aprendizaje autom\u00e1tico fue dise\u00f1ado para que las compa\u00f1\u00edas farmac\u00e9uticas puedan crear medicamentos m\u00e1s precisos y quiz\u00e1 en menor tiempo, por lo que se busca informar primero a dicha industria para que conozcan cuales son los efectos secundarios m\u00e1s recurrentes en los pacientes dependiendo de los medicamentos.
