Background: Loneliness and social isolation are serious yet underappreciated public health problems, with their genetic underpinnings remaining largely unknown. We aimed to explore the role of protein-coding variants in the manifestation of loneliness and social isolation.
Methods: We conducted the first exome-wide association analysis on loneliness and social isolation, utilizing 336,115 participants of white-British ancestry for loneliness and 346,115 for social isolation.

Wildfires are growing in destructive power, and accurately predicting the spread and intensity of wildland fire is essential for managing ecological and societal impacts. No current operational models used for fire behavior prediction resolve critical fire-atmospheric coupling or nonlocal influences of the fire environment, rendering them inadequate in accounting for the range of wildland fire behavior scenarios under increasingly novel fuel and climate conditions. Here, we present a new perspective on a dominant fire-atmospheric feedback mechanism, which we term wildland fire entrainment (WFE).

Unlabelled: Since the inception of transplantation, it has been crucial to ensure that organ or tissue donations are made with valid informed consent to avoid concerns about coercion or exploitation. This issue is particularly challenging when it comes to infants and younger children, insofar as they are unable to provide consent. Despite their vulnerability, infants' organs and tissues are considered valuable for biomedical purposes due to their size and unique properties.

Background: Few studies have examined the relationship between nutritional status, as assessed by the Prognostic Nutrition Index (PNI), and incident cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality, particularly in hypertensive patients. This study aimed to examine the association between PNI and cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality in Americans with hypertension.
Methods: Data from this retrospective cohort study were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination (NHANES) 1999-2016.

Introduction: Contemporary data and knowledge management and exploration are challenging due to regular releases, updates, and different types and formats. In the food and nutrition domain, solutions for integrating such data and knowledge with respect to the FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) principles are still lacking.
Methods: To address this issue, we have developed a data and knowledge management system called NutriBase, which supports the compilation of a food composition database and its integration with evidence-based knowledge.
