The hypothesis is we are able to measure phenotypes that lie at the origin of ARDS severity and fibrosis development. The aim is an accuracy study of prognostic circulating biomarkers.

- Direct-to-consumer testing (DTCT) involves laboratory tests that individuals can order themselves, without healthcare professional oversight, highlighting the need for clear definitions due to the expanding market.
- The text identifies three types of DTCT modalities—home self-testing, self-sampled tests, and direct access tests—which challenge traditional testing processes and vary in quality based on whether they come from medical or non-medical labs.
- It emphasizes the importance of consumer initiation in DTCT, suggesting that this characteristic should guide regulations and improve test quality while addressing potential benefits and harms for consumers and the healthcare system.
Obesity represents a major public health emergency worldwide, and its etiology is shaped by a complex interplay of environmental and genetic factors. Over the last decade, polygenic risk scores (PRS) have emerged as a promising tool to quantify an individual's genetic risk of obesity. The field of PRS in obesity genetics is rapidly evolving, shedding new lights on obesity mechanisms and holding promise for contributing to personalized prevention and treatment.

The aim of this study was to assess (1) changes in chest CT, pulmonary function test (PFT), functional capacity (6-minute walking distance test (6MWT)), and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) among ICU COVID-19 survivors at 3, 6, and 12 months after ICU discharge and (2) predictors of persistent impairment/improvement in 6MWT and HR-QoL.
Methods: ICU COVID-19 survivors were prospectively included.
