Clinical prediction rules could help identify children at risk of slowed growth after an episode of diarrheal illness, and these rules may be generalizable to all children, regardless of diarrhea status.

Two genome sequencing studies show a consistent association between blood mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) and personality traits and provide support for the hypothesis that mtDNAcn may be a biomarker that connects certain personality characteristics with mortality.

It is unclear how much a child's BMI at age 8 affects their depressive and ADHD symptoms after family-level factors are accounted for, but a substantial impact on anxiety symptoms is unlikely.

Cross-sectional serological data and mathematical models suggest the existence of long-term periodicity in human antibody responses arising from multiple exposures to influenza A(H3N2), providing insights into the interactions between exposure histories and future risks of infections.

The currently recommended adult dose of tafenoquine is insufficient for radical cure in all adults.

Patients diagnosed with a cardiovascular disease are at higher risk of psychiatric disorders, independent of familial factors shared between full siblings and comorbid conditions.

Individuals recently diagnosed with a cardiovascular disease are at higher risk of developing a mental illness, with mortality increasing when both conditions are present.

Variation in SARS-CoV-2 viral kinetics are partly explained by an individual's immune state and the infecting variant, but substantial interpersonal variation limits the reliability of isolation policies tailored to an individual's vaccination status.

Fitting a simple model of COVID-19 transmission to crowdsourced case report data allowed the estimation of mean cluster size and transmission rates in Canadian schools, as well as determining which interventions are most likely to limit transmission.

Approximately half of the associations identified between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and brain morphology in two large independent studies of adolescents are likely due to confounding bias by socioeconomic and parental behavioral factors.
