The use of within-host pathogen genomic sequence data can be used to improve phylogenetic and transmission estimates.

Leveraging time-varying and tissue-dependent genetic instruments into Mendelian randomization studies may help develop insight over more conventional applications.

Results from this modelled analysis indicate that short-term delays in HPV vaccination of adolescents are unlikely to have substantial long-term effects on HPV-related cancers, provided catch-up of missed vaccine doses can be implemented.

A conserved transcriptional signature in macrophages and endothelial cells occurs in multiple organs in response to COVID-19 and suggests potential molecular interactions between the two cell types.

A reduction in breast screening participation volume during COVID-19 that differed by region and healthcare setting was observed in a rapid review of 26 studies globally, suggesting monitoring of screening access by disadvantaged groups to reduce disparities.

Circulating high-molecular-weight (cHMW) adiponectin levels increased with age until centenarians, and the contribution of known major factors associated with cHMW adiponectin levels including BMI varied with age, suggesting that its physiological significance also varies with age in the oldest old.

Analysis of naturally infected mosquitoes shows that ecosystem disturbance can lead to a turnover in host community composition and that more individuals of a single species are a key driver of virus emergence.

Integrating machine learning (ML) models with selected features improved the prediction accuracy of diabetic kidney disease compared to traditional logistic regression models using established features, revealing potential new markers and supporting the use of ML techniques in epidemiological studies.

Collaborative and mutually beneficial patient-provider-researcher relationships are crucial in achieving success in understanding and treating long COVID.

Only a minor reduction in mammography screening participation was observed during the COVID-19 pandemic in Denmark.
