Background: The illegal trade of tropical timber constitutes a major and persistent environmental problem. Since the detection of fraud in trade documents remains challenging, forensic tools that can independently trace timber origin are needed. In this study, we evaluated the potential of the chloroplast genome (plastome) as a genetic tool to verify the claimed species and geographic origin of timber from Azobé (Lophira alata), an intensively exploited and threatened tropical tree species.

Purpose: Assessing risk factors and creating prediction models from real-world medical data is challenging, requiring numerous modelling decisions with clinical guidance. Logistic regression is a common model for such studies, for which we advocate the use of Bayesian methods that can jointly deliver probabilistic risk factor inference and prediction. As an exemplar, we compare Bayesian logistic regression with horseshoe priors and Projective Prediction variable selection with the established frequentist LASSO approach, to predict severe COVID-19 outcomes (death or ICU admittance) from demographic and laboratory biomarker data.

In 2024, 90% of Medicare Advantage (MA) enrollees were in a plan that required prior authorization of home health care. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 44 leaders of MA plans, post-acute care (PAC) management companies, and home health agencies (HHAs) across the country to understand their experiences with prior authorization and utilization management (UM) of post-acute home health care. Our analysis of these interviews revealed that representatives of MA plans and PAC management companies report varying motives and approaches to prior authorization for post-acute home health care, resulting in varied experiences for HHAs.

Introduction: In this post-marketing study in Japan, the occurrence of hospital-treated hypoglycaemia and severe hyperglycaemia requiring inpatient treatment was evaluated in various cohorts of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) newly switched to iGlarLixi, a titratable, once-daily, fixed-ratio combination of long-acting insulin glargine 100 U/mL (iGlar-100) and a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA, lixisenatide).
Methods: In this retrospective, observational study, acute-care hospital data from adults with T2D were analysed from the Medical Data Vision database. In Cohort 1, the incidence rate of hospital-treated hypoglycaemia following newly prescribed iGlarLixi versus iGlar-100 was assessed.
