Medical diagnosis plays a critical role in our daily lives. Every day, over 10 billion cases of both mental and physical health disorders are diagnosed and reported worldwide. To diagnose these disorders, medical practitioners and health professionals employ various assessment tools. However, these tools often face scrutiny due to their complexity, prompting researchers to increase their experimental parameters to provide accurate justifications. Additionally, it is essential for professionals to properly justify, interpret, and analyse the results from these prediction tools. ⋯ Consequently, medical professionals are increasingly relying on these machine learning-based CDSS models, utilising these tools to improve medical diagnosis and assist in decision-making. The different cross-validation values are considered to remove the data biasness.

Climate change is thought to have possible effects on changes in the menstruation process, which covers an important period of time in women's lives. Our study aimed to determine the impact of climate change anxiety on premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in women of reproductive age. ⋯ The results of our study showed that women with PMS had higher Eco-Anxiety Scale scores. Given the global effects of climate change, it is important to investigate its effects as a risk factor for the emergence of PMS. Furthermore, women's healthcare providers play an important and beneficial role in adapting to a changing climate; these efforts will have long-term impacts.
