Benchmarking gut microbiome indices within and across populations

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
We compared 10 widely used gut microbiome indices in 12,561 American Gut Project participants and 10 external cohorts, testing how well each distinguished people with healthy lifestyles, responded to 79 environmental factors, and associated with 14 chronic conditions. No single index performed best on all three tasks.

Using Distribution Regression Difference‐in‐Differences to Evaluate the Effects of a Minimum Wage Introduction on the Distributions of Wages, Earnings, and Working Hours

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate the causal effects of the introduction of the minimum wage in Germany on the distributions of hourly wages, monthly earnings, and hours worked, combining rich large‐scale data sources. We compare linear and non‐linear versions of distribution regression difference‐in‐differences (DR‐DiD) and also estimate bivariate DR‐DiD.

Catalan Bounds for Symmetric Strength‐Two Orthogonal Arrays

Journal of Combinatorial Designs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A Hamming shell construction is a two‐level array obtained by taking every binary vector of a given Hamming weight a prescribed number of times, for each weight in turn. Such arrays are invariant under all permutations of the factors, and they are strength‐two orthogonal arrays exactly when the multiplicities satisfy three linear constraints ...

Childhood adversity and psychotic‐like experiences in adolescence: Investigating a pathway via disrupted pubertal and grey matter development

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Childhood adversity increases psychosis risk, but the biological mechanisms responsible remain elusive. A possible but underexplored pathway involves altered pubertal and grey matter (GM) development. Methods In youth from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study (N = 3462), we investigated the effect of adversity at age 9 ...

Perceived Suitability for Being a Dental Hygienist and Self‐Compassion: A 6‐Month Longitudinal Cohort Study

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Perceived professional suitability—students' judgment of whether they are well‐suited to their profession—may shift within a semester, yet longitudinal evidence in dental hygiene education is limited. We examined 6‐month changes in perceived suitability and their psychological associations.

An Exploratory Comparative Analysis of Mixed Reality Simulation Versus 3D‐Printed Models for Undergraduate Training in Third Molar Removal

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose/Objectives To compare the effectiveness of MR simulation and 3D‐printed models in training undergraduate students in wisdom tooth removal, and to assess students’ perceptions of the MR simulator. Methods Students trained first on either the MR simulator or 3D‐printed plastic models and then repeated the training using the other method ...

National trends in pathogen‐specific diagnoses and outcomes among hospitalizations for infectious diarrhea

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The diagnostic evaluation of infectious diarrhea has evolved with increasing adoption of multiplex gastrointestinal nucleic acid amplification tests and changing diagnostic strategies for Clostridioides difficile. Objectives We aimed to assess changes in inpatient pathogen‐specific documentation rates and clinical outcomes on a ...

A two‐stage model for precise identification and Gleason grading of clinically significant prostate cancer: a hybrid approach

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 93-105, March 2025.
This study developed a two‐stage model using radiomics‐based multiparametric MRI and clinical indicators to help identify and grade clinically significant prostate cancer. The model showed promising levels of diagnostic accuracy and predictive performance.

Statistical Downscaling of Daily Temperature and Precipitation From Regional Climate Models in Complex Mountain Terrain

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The study provides insights for post‐processing climate model output in complex terrain, useful for climate change impact models. We compared different bias adjustment and downscaling techniques from quantile delta mapping to simple lapse rates. We developed a new spatial downscaling method based on principal components analysis, which showed superior ...
