Deep mutational scanning enables high-throughput functional assessment of genetic variants. While phenotypic measurements from screening assays generally align with clinical outcomes, experimental noise may affect the accuracy of individual variant estimates. We developed the FUSE (functional substitution estimation) pipeline, which leverages measurements collectively within screening assays to improve the estimation of variant impacts.

Cancer affects all populations and continues to be the second leading cause of death in the United States, and a large number of disparities impact racial and ethnic minorities, including increased cancer incidence and mortality. Critically, strategies to bolster diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility are needed to address persistent cancer disparities.

Purpose: To determine the most frequently searched questions associated with meniscal surgery based on question type and topic, as well as to assess the website source type and quality.
Purpose: To leverage Google's search algorithms to summarize the most commonly asked questions regarding anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and surgery.
Methods: Six terms related to ACL tear and/or surgery were searched on a clean-installed Google Chrome browser. The list of questions and their associated websites on the Google search page were extracted after multiple search iterations performed in January of 2022.
Objective: Delirium is associated with worse outcomes in patients with stroke and neurocritical illness, but delirium detection in these patients can be challenging with existing screening tools. To address this gap, we aimed to develop and evaluate machine learning models that detect episodes of post-stroke delirium based on data from wearable activity monitors in conjunction with stroke-related clinical features.
Design: Prospective observational cohort study.
