Obesity is a multi-factorial disease that is influenced by genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Precision medicine is a practice wherein prevention and treatment strategies take individual variability into account. It involves using a variety of factors including deep phenotyping using clinical, physiologic, and behavioral characteristics, 'omics assays (eg, genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and microbiomics among others), and environmental factors to devise practices that are individualized to subsets of patients.

Secondary neurologic decline (ND) after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is independently associated with outcome, but robust predictors of ND are lacking. In this retrospective analysis of consecutive isolated TBI admissions to the R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center between November 2015 and June 2018, we aimed to develop a triage decision support tool to quantify risk for early ND.

Background & Aims: Heterogeneous presentations and disease mechanisms among patients with laryngeal symptoms account for misdiagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), variations in testing, and suboptimal outcomes. We aimed to derive phenotypes of patients with laryngeal symptoms based on clinical and physiologic data and to compare characteristics across phenotypes.
Methods: A total of 302 adult patients with chronic laryngeal symptoms were prospectively enrolled at 3 centers between January 2018 to October 2020 (age 57.

Precision medicine can be distilled into a concept of accounting for an individual's unique collection of clinical, physiologic, genetic, and sociodemographic characteristics to provide patient-level predictions of disease course and response to therapy. Abundant evidence now allows us to determine how an average person with epilepsy will respond to specific medical and surgical treatments. This is useful, but not readily applicable to an individual patient.
