We invite submissions for a special issue of the Journal of Biomedical Informatics focused on Deep Phenotyping to enable Precision Medicine. This special issue aims to provide a collection of emerging theories, cutting-edge methodologies, and novel technologies that enable scal- able human phenotype discovery and application in clinical data for continuous health learning.

An important goal of Precision Medicine is to develop a framework for creating a new taxonomy of human diseases based on molecular biology and then to create it [1]. Towards this goal, clinical data have been recognized as the basic staple of health learning [2]. The rapidly growing interoperable clinical datasets, including electronic health re- cords (EHR), patient-generated self-tracking data, administrative and claims records, and clinical research results data, have presented un- precedented opportunities for developing high-throughput methods for deep phenotyping.

In the context of this special issue, phenotype is “the trait or ob- servable characteristic of a human being representing his or her unique morphological, biochemical, physiological, or behavioral property” [3]. Related, phenotyping refers to the process of characterization or clas- sification of a patient’s phenotype. Deep phenotyping further empha- sizes the precision and comprehensiveness of the characterized phe- notype [4]. Fundamental to studying disease similarities to assist in the development of a precise disease taxonomy, deep phenotyping can shed light on gene functions and enable precise diagnoses, subtyping, and treatments. Software or algorithms leveraging deep phenotyping for gene prioritization have evolved to the point of demonstrating their usefulness in genomic diagnostic decision support [5–13].

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

Computational phenotype analysis (e.g., causal [14] or probabilistic phenotyping [15])

Temporal phenotyping

High-throughput phenotyping

Deep learning for phenotyping

Next-generation phenotyping of electronic health records [16]

Population Physiology using electronic health records [17]

High-fidelity phenotyping [18]

Natural language processing for phenotyping using textual content[13]

Using novel data sources (e.g., patient self-reported data, case re- ports, social media, or clinical research data) for deep phenotyping

Multi-modality phenotyping combining data, text, videos, images, sound, etc.

Integrating multiple data or knowledge sources for phenotype knowledge engineering

Cross-species phenotype knowledge discovery and engineering

Human Phenotype Ontology enhancement or applications

Phenotype-driven disease taxonomy development

Phenotype-driven disease diagnoses or subtyping

Issues and methods for improving the portability of phenotyping methods

Standards-based representation, sharing, and reuse of phenotyping algorithms

Methods for engaging domain experts in high-throughput deep phenotyping

Worldwide, the detrimental effects of excessive Internet and Smartphone use are the subject of intense and controversial debates. Recent conceptualizations of Internet and Smartphone Use Disorders (IUD and SUD) take account of the growing concerns with respect to negative effects on mental health. Moreover, research on the addictive potential of digital media has steadily increased during the last decades. Following an initial case report published by Kimberly Young in 1996 describing a patient being “addicted” to the Internet, research started to surge in this field. Accumulating evidence from different lines of research meanwhile emphasizes potential detrimental effects of excessive and escalating Internet and Smartphone use on mental health, now often broadly summarized as Technology Related Use Disorders. Following the inclusion of Internet Gaming Disorder as emerging disorder in the DSM 5 and the very recent inclusion of (Online and Offline) Gaming Disorder as a specific form of IUD in the beta-draft of ICD-11, the present special issue calls for papers with cutting edge research examining potential detrimental effects of excessive technology use, including its addictive potential as well as more general detrimental effects on mental health from Asia. Research rooted in psychology, neuroscience, computational approaches and fields at the intersection such as neuroinformatics will be considered.

As the prevalence of Internet and Smartphone Use Disorders are particularly high in many Asian countries, the present call for papers will exclusively focus on works dealing with the topic in Asia. Of note, this means that all submissions will need to include empirical data from an Asian country in the mentioned research area. Moreover, cross-cultural works on IUD/SUD will also be considered, but only if empirical data from an Asian country will be included in the present work. Works targeting potential explanations for the higher prevalence of IUD/SUD in Asia as compared to other areas of the world would be a particularly good fit for the present special issue. Review research pieces may be submitted, however, please discuss the exact proposed topic with the editors, Profs Montag (christian.montag@uni-ulm.de) or Becker (ben_becker@gmx.de) prior to submission. All submissions will undergo rigorous peer-review before being accepted for publication.

In line with the terminology proposed in ICD-11 and earlier in DSM-5, we refrain from using the somewhat more classic term Internet addiction and ask authors to use Internet Use Disorder and Smartphone Use Disorder terminology. Aside from work dealing with “unspecified” IUD, characterizing persons overusing many different channels of the Internet and/or filling in questionnaires on generalized IUD, the present call for papers seeks submissions on use disorders in the context of online pornography, online buying, online gaming, online gambling and online communication (e.g. WeChat). Given the dramatic rise in smartphone users over the last eleven years since the inception of the iPhone and the worldwide discussion on the nature of excessive smartphone use, paper submissions on SUD are a good fit with the proposed special issue.

In the recent years, phytotherapy field have witnessed a tremendous progress. Perhaps, among the most notable example from the recent years is the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, awarded to prof. Tu for the artemisinin’s discovery (Phytomedicine, 2015, 22: A1-A3). Nowadays, in excess of 25% of all medicines are derived either directly or indirectly from plants. Morphine and codeine (analgesic), paclitaxel (antineoplastic) and galanthamine (reversible cholinesterase inhibitor), besides artemisinin are good examples in this direction and amongst the best-selling drugs worldwide (Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2018, 122: 203-205). Recently in the USA, for instance, two drug applications have been approved for marketing botanical products as prescription drugs, namely Mytesi (formally known as Fulyzaq; crofelemer), an oral drug for the treatment of HIV-related diarrhea and Veregen (sinecatechins), a topical drug for the treatment of genital and perianal warts. These drug approvals are testimonial examples that complex botanical mixtures can be developed to meet the FDA standards of safety, efficacy and quality (FDA/CDER SBIA Chronicles, 2015).

The International Conference on Natural Products Utilization: from Plants to Pharmacy Shelf (ICNPU-2019)traditionally attempt to cover the wide spectrum of application of plants with special emphasis on the sustainable use of natural products, emerging -omics platforms and recent trends in (ethno)pharmacology, toxicology, molecular biology and biotechnology.

This Special issue of Phytomedicine (IF20173.61; Q1 in Complementary and Alternative Medicine) is designed to accommodate selected papers (reviews as well as original research articles) that fit to the Phytomedicine aims and scope (tentative authors can kindly consult here:www.elsevier.com/journals/phytomedicine/0944-7113/guide-for-authors). The ICNPU-2019 attendees are encouraged to propose an article on a subject relevant to the journal’s focus. Please, kindly send a synopsis and CV to the Guest Editor atmilengeorgiev@gbg.bg. The publication is by invitation only.

Invited authors have to submit their manuscripts online through the Elsevier Editorial System by selecting " ICNPU-2019" as the "Article Type" so that their papers are included in this special issue.
