A Multimodal Benchmark for Evaluating Cause-of-Death Inference Using Child Health and Mortality Data

Accurately attributing causes of death is vital for global health, yet fewer than 5% of deaths in resource-constrained regions are medically certified. To assign causes to these unlabeled deaths at scale, practitioners traditionally rely on verbal autopsy, using supervised statistical models to classify based on structured survey data. However, modern mortality surveillance increasingly collects r...

Life-Stage Heterogeneity in the Mental Health Treatment Gap: An Unsupervised Machine Learning Profiling of Symptomatic US Adults

Abstract Background Despite a rising global psychiatric burden, a treatment gap persists where the majority of symptomatic individuals remain unmedicated. Traditional epidemiological analyses treat this untreated population as a single, uniform block, obscuring specific barriers to care. This study uses an unsupervised machine learning pipeline to identify distinct socio-behavioural and biological...

TRACE-PCa: Predicting Prostate Cancer Progression from Longitudinal MRI During Active Surveillance

Active surveillance (AS) is the preferred strategy for favorable-risk prostate cancer, yet current protocols rely on scheduled repeat biopsies, most o...

Comorbidity Exposure-Window Definitions and Multidimensional Disparities in Long COVID Risk: Evidence from a U.S. National Cohort (2020-2024)

Long COVID (LC) affects millions of individuals worldwide, particularly those with preexisting comorbidities. However, whether these comorbidities sho...

Global co-hotspots of dengue, malaria, and yellow fever: a comparative spatiotemporal analysis across 142 countries

Abstract Dengue, malaria, and yellow fever remain major mosquito-borne public health threats in tropical and subtropical regions. Yet most global spat...

Effects of Shigella diarrhea with and without antibiotic treatment on linear growth: an individual patient data meta-analysis of five multisite studies among children in low-resource settings

Background Quantifying the effect of Shigella diarrhea with and without antibiotic treatment on linear growth faltering is critical to understanding t...

Ecological Cascades and Future Hantavirus Spillover Risk in a Changing Climate

Anthropogenic climate change is reshuffling global biodiversity and accelerating zoonotic spillover at the human-wildlife interface. The 2026 multi-co...

Integrating planetary health and environmental justice into high school construction career education: protocol for a randomized controlled trial of the Ecosystem Justice Translator

Introduction: Climate change disproportionately affects disadvantaged communities, yet construction workforce education rarely addresses interconnecte...

Learned Immune Architectures of Durable Antibody Responses Across Vaccines

Vaccination is one of the most effective public health interventions. However, vaccine efficacy varies widely among individuals, as immunity arises fr...

FlowPET: Physics-Informed Symplectic Flow Matching for Low-Count PET Reconstruction

Low-count Positron Emission Tomography (PET) reconstruction is severely hindered by the dissipative nature of prevailing generative models, where the ...

Development and Evaluation of Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Decision Support System for Public Health Emergency Classification and Escalation in Kenya

Background Timely assessment, classification, and escalation of public health events are essential for effective outbreak response, yet decision-makin...

Machine learning-based predictive clinical model for Shigella spp. infection in children with diarrhea

Diarrheal disease remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children under five years of age in low and middle-income countries. Ident...

Short-term forecasts of Aedes aegypti relative abundance to enhance mosquito control situational awareness

Conventional mosquito surveillance typically relies on contemporaneous data, making it challenging to anticipate future vector surges. To support proa...

AllTheBacteria: a community resource empowers biology and discovers novel peptide antibiotics

Public microbial genomes encode an immense record of biological diversity, evolution and molecular function, but much of this information remains diff...

Robust Face Super-Resolution and Recognition Through Multi-Feature Aggregation in Diffusion Models

Images acquired in surveillance environments often suffer from conditions such as low resolution, variations in pose, irregular illumination, and occl...

Generative embedding of sparse data with a tabular foundation model for dengue anticipatory action: a machine learning approach

Background Early outbreak detection often depends on complex, data-intensive models that have limited operational use in sparse surveillance settings....

Evaluating Open-Source Wrist-Worn Accelerometer Models for Sedentary Time Detection Against Thigh-Worn Accelerometer Data

Abstract Objective Wrist-worn accelerometers are common in large-scale epidemiological studies, but their ability to measure sedentary behaviour in fr...

Automating neoantigen selection for personalized cancer vaccine design

Advancements in immunogenomics and immuno-oncology have enabled the development of personalized cancer vaccines (PCVs) that target cancer cell-specifi...

A Transferable Learned Temporal Prior for Transmission Reconstruction and Decision-Relevant Uncertainty in Real Outbreak Labels

Outbreak transmission reconstruction treats epidemiological timing and transmission labels as deterministic ground truth; neither has been systematica...
