Objective: This study aims to identify distinct subtypes of Fear of Progression (FOP) in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) using latent profile analysis and to investigate associated demographic factors to facilitate personalized treatment by healthcare professionals, thereby improving clinical symptoms and treatment outcomes in OSAHS patients.
Methods: This study employed a convenience sampling method to recruit 307 patients with OSAHS. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect data on patients' demographics, the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form, the Social Support Rating Scale, and the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II. Latent profile analysis was used to investigate the heterogeneity of FOP in this patient sample.
Results: FOP in patients with OSAHS can be categorized into three latent subtypes: low FOP group(16.6%), moderate FOP group (44.3%), and high FOP group (39.1%). Univariate analyses revealed that gender, education level, smoking history, exercise frequency, coexistence of other chronic illnesses, sleeping posture, OSAHS diagnosis, social support, and health-promoting behaviors significantly influenced the level of FOP. Multivariate logistic regression analysis further revealed that the risk of moderate to high fear of disease progression was associated with lower social support, reduced engagement in health-promoting behaviors, sleep positions (e.g., sleeping on one's side), occasional smoking, and the diagnostic severity of OSAHS.
Conclusions: This study describes the characteristics of different FOP subtypes, which aids healthcare professionals in gaining a deeper understanding of the population heterogeneity of FOP status in patients with OSAHS. Consequently, it facilitates the development of more precise health promotion intervention strategies, and actively responds to the implementation of "Healthy China 2030".

Background: Individuals with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) may face unique family environments that potentially influence adaptive functioning and behavioral challenges. This study aimed to identify profiles of families of children with PAE based on family characteristics, including cohesion, conflict, and organization, and to examine the relationship between family environment profiles and child outcomes.
Methods: Data were collected from caregivers of 283 youth (5-17 years) with histories of PAE.
Using network analysis to identify central symptoms of depression and anxiety in different profiles of infertility patients.

Background: Depression and anxiety were not only common but also with serious consequence in infertility patients. The current study endeavors to define distinct depression and anxiety profiles of infertility patients and identify central symptoms within different profiles to facilitate targeted interventions.
Method: The research employed K-means Clustering to delineate the depression and anxiety profiles, followed by a repetition of the analysis using Latent Class Analysis (LCA).
Infusing structural assumptions into dimensionality reduction for single-cell RNA sequencing data to identify small gene sets.

Dimensionality reduction greatly facilitates the exploration of cellular heterogeneity in single-cell RNA sequencing data. While most of such approaches are data-driven, it can be useful to incorporate biologically plausible assumptions about the underlying structure or the experimental design. We propose the boosting autoencoder (BAE) approach, which combines the advantages of unsupervised deep learning for dimensionality reduction and boosting for formalizing assumptions.

The hop plant (Humulus lupulus) is an economically important perennial species of plant due to its role in beer production. While the majority of hop production occurs in central Washington State, local production in regions around the United States is gaining popularity due to local micro-breweries wanting to use locally grown hops in their production. In Florida, production has recently increased, and while most hop plants are grown from tissue culture, the development of a cost-effective diagnostic assay for hop viruses is critical to ensure planting material is clean.
