Predicting hospitalization costs via clinical notes
Hospitals only know how much a patient costs once they’ve gone home, making it difficult to plan spending efficiently, but predictive algorithms could help estimate costs early for inpatients.
Genetic architecture of type 1 diabetes with low genetic risk score informed by 41 unreported loci
This study identified 43 novel non-HLA loci associated with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in patients harboring low GRS.
A New Way to Make Sense from Nonsense
The recent discovery of compounds that target the translation termination factor eRF1 for proteasomal degradation offers a new avenue for the development of drugs to treat genetic diseases caused by nonsense mutations.
The truth behind the story of neutrophil-derived ROS in promoting tumor colonization
Tumor colonization is counteracted by ROS-activated and IL-1β-secreting tissue neutrophils.
The emergence of neutralizing antibodies limits success of mycobacteriophage therapy
Mycobacterium abscessus infections present a major challenge to antibiotic therapy. Bacteriophages have a potential role to play in treatment of these infections, but neutralizing antibody reactions can limit the efficacy of the phages when administered intravenously.
Impact of an accelerated melting of Greenland on malaria distribution over Africa
How can vector-borne diseases be impacted by non-linear climate instabilities, such as a rapid melting of the ice sheet, that can have a strong impact on climate? We try to answer this question by studying the impact of an accelerated melting of the Greenland ice sheet on climate and malaria in Africa.
Can vital signs help us distinguish between Influeza vs. COVID?
Our study illustrates the potential of ML models for accurately distinguishing the hemodynamic presentations of the two viral infections. This may have utility as a diagnostic tool to aid healthcare workers in triaging patients as the viral infections start co-circulating in the communities.

Digital treatments for youth with mental health problems: Developing good quality evidence takes time
The demand for digital mental health care is high, even more so since Covid-19. However, proper development and testing according to robust standards takes time, as we can show for the development of a digital psychological intervention for youth with OCD.
