Advancements in genomics and machine learning have significantly enhanced the study of epidemiology. Whole-genome sequencing has revolutionized bacterial genomics, allowing for detailed analysis of genetic variation and aiding in outbreak investigations and source tracking. Short-read sequencing technologies, such as those provided by Illumina, have been instrumental in generating draft genomes that facilitate serotyping and the detection of antimicrobial resistance. Long-read sequencing technologies, including those from Pacific Biosciences and Oxford Nanopore Technologies, offer the potential for more complete genome assemblies and better insights into genetic diversity. In addition to these sequencing approaches, machine learning techniques like decision trees and random forests provide powerful tools for pattern recognition and predictive modeling. Importantly, the study of bacteriophages, which interact with , offers additional layers of understanding. Phages can impact population dynamics and evolution, and their integration into genomics research holds promise for novel insights into pathogen control and epidemiology. This review revisits the history of and its pathogenesis and highlights the integration of these modern methodologies in advancing our understanding of .

Use of Machine Learning to Predict Individual Postprandial Glycemic Responses to Food Among Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes in India: Protocol for a Prospective Cohort Study.
JMIR Res Protoc

Decipher Health, Delhi, India.
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a leading cause of premature morbidity and mortality globally and affects more than 100 million people in the world's most populous country, India. Nutrition is a critical and evidence-based component of effective blood glucose control and most dietary advice emphasizes carbohydrate and calorie reduction. Emerging global evidence demonstrates marked interindividual differences in postprandial glucose response (PPGR) although no such data exists in India and previous studies have primarily evaluated PPGR variation in individuals without diabetes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a deep-learning model for noninvasive anemia detection, hemoglobin (Hb) level estimation, and identification of anemia-related retinal features using fundus images.
Methods: The dataset included 2265 participants aged 40 years and above from a population-based study in South India. The dataset included ocular and systemic clinical parameters, dilated retinal fundus images, and hematological data such as complete blood counts and Hb concentration levels.
Explainable Deep Learning for Glaucomatous Visual Field Prediction: Artifact Correction Enhances Transformer Models.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning approach that restores artifact-laden optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans and predicts functional loss on the 24-2 Humphrey Visual Field (HVF) test.
Methods: This cross-sectional, retrospective study used 1674 visual field (VF)-OCT pairs from 951 eyes for training and 429 pairs from 345 eyes for testing. Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness map artifacts were corrected using a generative diffusion model.
Child Maltreatment Characteristics and Adult Physical Multimorbidity in Germany.
JAMA Netw Open

Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry-Psychotherapy, University Hospital Ulm, Ulm, Germany.
Importance: Associations between child maltreatment (CM) and health have been studied broadly, but most studies focus on multiplicity (number of experienced subtypes of CM). Studies assessing multiple CM characteristics are scarce, partly due to methodological challenges, and were mostly conducted in patient samples.
Objective: To determine the importance of CM characteristics in association with physical multimorbidity in adulthood for women and men in a German representative sample.
The perceptual primacy of feeling: Affectless visual machines explain a majority of variance in human visually evoked affect.

Looking at the world often involves not just seeing things, but feeling things. Modern feedforward machine vision systems that learn to perceive the world in the absence of active physiology, deliberative thought, or any form of feedback that resembles human affective experience offer tools to demystify the relationship between seeing and feeling, and to assess how much of visually evoked affective experiences may be a straightforward function of representation learning over natural image statistics. In this work, we deploy a diverse sample of 180 state-of-the-art deep neural network models trained only on canonical computer vision tasks to predict human ratings of arousal, valence, and beauty for images from multiple categories (objects, faces, landscapes, art) across two datasets.
