Coronaviruses (CoV) emerge suddenly from animal reservoirs to cause novel diseases in new hosts. Discovered in 2012, the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is endemic in camels in the Middle East and is continually causing local outbreaks and epidemics. While all three newly emerging human CoVs from the past 20 years (SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV) cause respiratory disease, each CoV has unique host interactions that drive differential pathogeneses.

Objective: To assess the utility and challenges of using natural language processing (NLP) in electronic health records (EHRs) to ascertain health-related social needs (HRSNs) among older adults.
Study Setting And Design: We extracted HRSN information using the NLP system Clinical Text Analysis and Knowledge Extraction System (cTAKES), combined with Concept Unique Identifiers and Systematized Nomenclature for Medicine codes. We validated cTAKES performance, via manual chart review, on two HRSNs: food insecurity, which was included in the healthcare system's HRSN screening tool, and housing insecurity, which was not.

Background: The passion fruit ( Sims) is a diploid plant (2n = 2x = 18) and is a perennial scrambling vine in Southern China. However, the occurrence and spread of stem rot in passion fruit severely impact its yield and quality.
Methods: In this study, we re-sequenced a BCF population consisting of 158 individuals using whole-genome resequencing.

This study provides a comprehensive structural, chemical, and optical characterization of CZTS thin films deposited on flexible Kapton substrates via the Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method. The investigation explored the effects of varying deposition cycles (40, 60, 70, and 80) and annealing treatments on the films. An X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis demonstrated enhanced crystallinity and phase purity, particularly in films deposited with 70 cycles.

In a prospective study, we examined the recovery trajectory of patients with lower extremity fractures to better understand the healing process in the absence of complications. Using a chest-mounted inertial measurement unit (IMU) device for gait analysis and collecting patient-reported outcome measures, we focused on 12 key gait variables, including Mean Leg Lift Acceleration, Stance Time, and Body Orientation. We employed a linear mixed model (LMM) to analyze these variables over time, incorporating both fixed and random effects to account for individual differences and the time since injury.
