Early Reduction of FeNO on Anti-IL5 Biologics Is Associated With Clinical Remission of Severe Asthma.

Background: In patients with severe asthma, treatment with anti-interleukin-5 (IL-5) biologics can lead to a reduction in fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in some patients. The clinical implications of varying FeNO responses to anti-IL-5 biologics remain unclear. This study aims to categorise patients based on their FeNO response to anti-IL-5 biologics and evaluate the association of these categories with clinical outcomes.

ProHap enables human proteomic database generation accounting for population diversity.

Amid the advances in genomics, the availability of large reference panels of human haplotypes is key to account for human diversity within and across populations. However, mass spectrometry-based proteomics does not benefit from this information. To address this gap, we introduce ProHap, a Python-based tool that constructs protein sequence databases from phased genotypes of reference panels.

Test-retest reliability of the Swedish version of the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale in people with mild to moderate multiple sclerosis.

Background: Fatigue is a subjective lack of physical and/or mental energy and is commonly perceived by people with multiple sclerosis (MS). People with MS often describe fatigue as the most troublesome MS related impairment, and it also has a negative impact on ability to initiate or maintain activities as well as work capacity and health related quality of life. The Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) is a patient-reported outcome measurement of fatigue.

Multi-ancestry GWAS of severe pregnancy nausea and vomiting identifies risk loci associated with appetite, insulin signaling, and brain plasticity.

While most pregnancies are affected by nausea and vomiting, hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is at the severe end of the clinical spectrum and is associated with dehydration, undernutrition, and adverse maternal, fetal, and child outcomes. Herein we performed a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) of severe nausea and vomiting of pregnancy of 10,974 cases and 461,461 controls across European, Asian, African, and Latino ancestries. We identified ten significantly associated loci, of which six were novel (, , , , , and , and confirmed previous genome-wide significant associations with risk genes , , , and .
