Chronic alanine aminotransferase elevation in people with HIV: Time trends over 22 years and genetic predisposition

HIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Chronic elevation of alanine aminotransferase (cALT) is common in people with HIV. Published reports on cALT prevalence time trends have not been uniform. It is unknown whether genetic background is associated with cALT in people with HIV. Methods cALT was defined as ALT levels (male, >50 U/L, female, >35 U/L) at ≥2 consecutive, 6‐

‘The Simpsons’ Did It Again! Periodontitis and Tooth Loss Predict Mortality in Springfield: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The IMPOSTERS study analysed 150 recurring ‘human’ Simpsons characters and found that periodontitis or tooth loss was associated with a 23‐fold higher hazard of all‐cause mortality. This was reported in the Simpsons universe, with the death of ‘Bleeding Gums’ Murphy, 3 years before the first such reports in our universe.

A Multimodal Machine Learning Model for Framingham Risk Score–Based Cardiovascular Risk Stratification in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Machine learning provides a powerful tool to capture complex, nonlinear patterns in biomedical data and enhance precision risk stratification. In this study, we applied a multilayer perceptron (MLP) framework to classify Framingham Risk Score–based cardiovascular risk categories in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
