Relationship of abundant microbial species with the risk of higher severity in infants hospitalized for bronchiolitis.

Integrated relationship of nasopharyngeal airway host response and microbiome associates with bronchiolitis severity

September 8, 2025

Bronchiolitis is a leading cause of infant hospitalizations but its immunopathology remains poorly understood.

Distribution of study participants by age and health outcome. (a) colors in all subplots reflect health status of groups as provided in the legend of subplot a. The sample population is not uniform for age ranges, with a higher proportion of older participants falling into the severe group. (b) age has a strong association with health outcomes (p-value = 0.001). (c) BMI is not associated with health outcomes (p-value = 0.1488). For assessing the association of age and gender with the health outcome status,

Metabolite, protein, and tissue dysfunction associated with COVID‑19 disease severity

Proteins are direct products of the genome and metabolites are functional products of interactions between the host and other factors.

High-sensitivity pattern discovery in large, paired multiomic datasets

September 8, 2025

We present a novel framework which integrates hierarchical hypothesis testing with FDR correction to reveal linear and non-linear relationships among data.

Chart showing how aspirin affects the relationship between time after hospitalization and probability of survival.

Association of Early Aspirin Use With In-Hospital Mortality in Patients With Moderate COVID-19

September 8, 2025

Prior studies suggest aspirin may be associated with reduced mortality in high-risk patients with COVID-19, but patients with moderate COVID-19 are not studied.
