Association of inflammatory cytokines with lung function, chronic lung diseases, and COVID-19
iScience. 2024 Aug 9;27(10):110704. doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.110704. eCollection 2024 Oct 18. ABSTRACT We investigated the effects of 35 inflammatory cytokines on respiratory outcomes, including COVID-19, asthma (atopic and non-atopic), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary function indices, using Mendelian randomization and colocalization analyses. The emerging associations were further explored using…
Predicting early-stage coronary artery disease using machine learning and routine clinical biomarkers improved by augmented virtual data
Eur Heart J Digit Health. 2024 Aug 9;5(5):542-550. doi: 10.1093/ehjdh/ztae049. eCollection 2024 Sep.

J Neurol. 2024 Sep 22. doi: 10.1007/s00415-024-12693-7. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Cognitive performance changes during the lifespan, but the information is gathered from studies on separate age cohorts. Computerized neurocognitive testing enables efficient and similar assessments for all ages. We investigated (i) the effect of age at different…
