Neglected tropical disease meets neglected community: Street children’s susceptibility to scabies in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Plos.org 

by Bewunetu Zewude, Getnet Tadele, Gail Davey

Scabies is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) with high prevalence rate in resource-limited settings. Though street children are susceptible because of lack of sanitation and contact with vectors, few attempts have been made to identify the lived experience of street children with scabies in the global south. This study explored perceived susceptibility to scabies and related lived experiences of street children in Addis Ababa. Using in-depth interviews... Читать дальше...

MR-SPLIT: A novel method to address selection and weak instrument bias in one-sample Mendelian randomization studies

Plos.org 

by Ruxin Shi, Ling Wang, Stephen Burgess, Yuehua Cui

Mendelian Randomization (MR) is a widely embraced approach to assess causality in epidemiological studies. Two-stage least squares (2SLS) method is a predominant technique in MR analysis. However, it can lead to biased estimates when instrumental variables (IVs) are weak. Moreover, the issue of the winner’s curse could emerge when utilizing the same dataset for both IV selection and causal effect estimation, leading to biased estimates of causal effects and high false positives.

Cracking the neural code for word recognition in convolutional neural networks

Plos.org 

by Aakash Agrawal, Stanislas Dehaene

Learning to read places a strong challenge on the visual system. Years of expertise lead to a remarkable capacity to separate similar letters and encode their relative positions, thus distinguishing words such as FORM and FROM, invariantly over a large range of positions, sizes and fonts. How neural circuits achieve invariant word recognition remains unknown. Here, we address this issue by recycling deep neural network models initially trained for image recognition. Читать дальше...

Fitness models provide accurate short-term forecasts of SARS-CoV-2 variant frequency

Plos.org 

by Eslam Abousamra, Marlin Figgins, Trevor Bedford

Genomic surveillance of pathogen evolution is essential for public health response, treatment strategies, and vaccine development. In the context of SARS-COV-2, multiple models have been developed including Multinomial Logistic Regression (MLR) describing variant frequency growth as well as Fixed Growth Advantage (FGA), Growth Advantage Random Walk (GARW) and Piantham parameterizations describing variant Rt. These models provide estimates... Читать дальше...
