Characterization and individual-level prediction of cognitive state in the first year after ‘mild’ stroke

Mild stroke affects more than half the stroke population, yet there is limited evidence characterizing cognition over time in this population, especially with predictive approaches applicable at the individual-level. We aimed to identify patterns of recovery and the best combination of demographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors predicting individual-level cognitive state at 3- and 12-months after mild stroke.

Intravenous Iron-Induced Hypophosphatemia in Surgical Patients

This study explores the incidence of preoperative hypophosphatemia and whether hypophosphatemia may have affected patient or trial outcomes for those who received ferric carboxymaltose

How immunity shapes the long-term dynamics of influenza H3N2

Since its emergence in 1968, influenza A H3N2 has caused yearly epidemics in temperate regions. While infection confers immunity against antigenically similar strains, new antigenically distinct strains that evade existing immunity regularly emerge ('antigenic drift'). Immunity at the individual level is complex, depending on an individual's lifetime infection history.
