This study addresses the challenge of predicting readmissions in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) by analyzing the predictability of readmissions over short, medium, and long term periods. Using health records spanning 35 years, which included 22,643 patients and 30,938 episodes of care, we focused on the episode of care as a central unit, defined as a referral-discharge cycle that incorporates assessments and interventions. Data pre-processing involved handling missing values, normalizing, and transforming data, while resolving issues related to overlapping episodes and correcting registration errors where possible.

Microbiome-directed dietary interventions such as microbiota-directed fibers (MDFs) have a proven track record in eliciting responses in beneficial gut microbes and are increasingly being promoted as an effective strategy to improve animal production systems. Here we used initial metataxonomic data on fish gut microbiomes as well as a wealth of a priori mammalian microbiome knowledge on α-mannooligosaccharides (MOS) and β-mannan-derived MDFs to study effects of such feed supplements in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and their impact on its gut microbiome composition and functionalities. Our multi-omic analysis revealed that the investigated MDFs (two α-mannans and an acetylated β-galactoglucomannan), at a dose of 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is particularly dangerous for older adults and those with other health conditions, and there's limited data on how it affects hospitalized adults in Europe.
  • A study analyzing data from March 2016 to April 2020 compared the clinical outcomes of adults hospitalized with RSV or influenza A/B, finding that RSV patients had more comorbidities and higher mortality risks.
  • Results showed that hospitalized adults with RSV face increased 90-day mortality, especially compared to those with influenza B, suggesting a need for better testing and vaccination strategies for RSV in older populations.

Article Synopsis
  • Understanding the gut microbiome is crucial for sustainable aquaculture as it affects fish digestion, metabolism, health, and growth.
  • The Salmon Microbial Genome Atlas has compiled 211 high-quality bacterial genomes from wild and farmed Atlantic salmon, revealing diverse taxonomic classifications and new species.
  • The study characterized key bacterial populations that can break down dietary fibers and produce beneficial compounds, providing a valuable resource for future research on salmon nutrition and health.
