Marine heatwaves have been linked to negative ecological effects in recent decades1,2. If marine heatwaves regularly induce community reorganization and biomass collapses in fishes, the consequences could be catastrophic for ecosystems, fisheries and human communities3,4. However, the extent to which marine heatwaves have negative impacts on fish biomass or community composition, or even whether their effects can be distinguished from natural and sampling variability, remains unclear. We investi...

This cohort study examines the association between screen time exposure among children aged 1 year and developmental delay at age 2 and 4 years.

An analytic approximation for the implied volatility surface of basket options is introduced

A statistical model based entirely on claims data can accurately predict 30-day hospital readmission in Medicaid patients with diabetes.

Disruption of the lung endothelial–epithelial cell barrier following respiratory virus infection causes cell and fluid accumulation in the air spaces and compromises vital gas exchange function1. Endothelial dysfunction can exacerbate tissue damage2,3, yet it is unclear whether the lung endothelium promotes host resistance against viral pathogens. Here we show that the environmental sensor aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is highly active in lung endothelial cells and protects against influ...

In an observational cohort study, Hongjiang Wu and colleagues analyse data from more than 1.5 million people Hong Kong between 2002 and 2018 and compare age- and sex-specific rates of all-cause and cause-specific hospital bed-day rates in those with and without type 2 diabetes.

This epidemiological assessment uses the GLOBOCAN database to evaluate the numbers of new cases and deaths due to cutaneous melanoma globally and by world regio

This work serves as a step toward better understanding the implications of remote critical care intervention by evaluating levels of tele–intensive care unit decision-making authority.

Objectives To synthesise research investigating data and code sharing in medicine and health to establish an accurate representation of the prevalence of sharing, how this frequency has changed over time, and what factors influence availability. Design Systematic review with meta-analysis of individual participant data. Data sources Ovid Medline, Ovid Embase, and the preprint servers medRxiv, bioRxiv, and MetaArXiv were searched from inception to 1 July 2021. Forward citation searches were also ...

Aflatoxins (AFT) identified as a Group 1 human carcinogen naturally contaminate various types of food and could increase the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through dietary intake. Chongqing municipality is located in Southwest China with subtropical monsoon climate which is conducive to AFT contamination in crops. However, the burden of HCC caused by the dietary exposure of the population in Chongqing to AFT has not been quantified. We estimated the burden of HCC in terms of Disability A...
