HIV Co-Morbidities and Multi-Morbidities [PDF]
The co-morbidity and multi-morbidity observed in individuals afflicted by HIV infection is veritably overwhelming, extending as it does from obesity/overweight and metabolic syndromes, through chronic cardiovascular disease and dysfunctional immune systems, to serious loss of integrity of brain and central nervous system and the concomitant disruptions

Discovering care pathways for multi-morbid patients using event graphs [PDF]
Patients suffering from multiple diseases (multi-morbid patients) often have complex clinical pathways. They are diagnosed and treated by different specialties and undergo other clinical actions related to various diagnoses. Coordination of care for these patients is often challenging, and it would be of great benefit to get better insight into how the

Morbidity in Depressive Disorders [PDF]
Levels of residual morbidity in mood disorder patients followed up long-term under community conditions of treatment are remarkably high [1] . Both unipolar major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD) patients were ill 40–50% of follow-up time; in BD patients, three-quarters of that residual morbidity was depressive [1] .

A comparative study of circulating tumor cell isolation and enumeration technologies in lung cancer
Lung cancer cells were spiked into donor blood to evaluate the recovery rates of the following circulating tumor cell (CTC) enrichment technologies: CellMag™, EasySep™, RosetteSep™, Parsortix® PR1, and Parsortix® Prototype systems. Each method's advantages and disadvantages are described.

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

Modeling differential rates of aging using routine laboratory data; Implications for morbidity and health care expenditure [PDF]
Aging is a multidimensional process where phenotypes change at varying rates. Longitudinal studies of aging typically involve following a cohort of individuals over the course of several years. This design is hindered by cost, attrition, and subsequently small sample size. Alternative methodologies are therefore warranted.

Timescale effect estimation in time-series studies of air pollution and health: A Singular Spectrum Analysis approach [PDF]
A wealth of epidemiological data suggests an association between mortality/morbidity from pulmonary and cardiovascular adverse events and air pollution, but uncertainty remains as to the extent implied by those associations although the abundance of the data.
