Dietary patterns among European children and their association with adiposity-related outcomes
Dietary patterns have been changing in the past decades, influencing diet-related diseases during childhood (e.g., obesity). This study described dietary patterns in children across six countries in Europe and its associations with adiposity-related outcomes both in childhood and in adolescence.
The relationship between lifestyle habits and obesity among students in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia: using the Arab Teens Lifestyle (ATLS) questionnaire

Predicting Health Timelines with Transformer
Our lives can be seen as a series of events unfolding over time, and this can be modeled using Transformers, an AI architecture that has been highly successful in large language models. In our npj Digital Medicine article we explore how they can be applied to personalized healthcare journeys.
Results and Implications for Generative AI in a Large Introductory Biomedical and Health Informatics Course
We compared student hoework and final exam scores with 6 large-language model (LLM) systems in a large online introductory course in biomedical and health informatics. All of the LLMs scored between the 50th and 75th percentiles of students, raising questions about student assessment in higher ed.
Implementation Strategies in Suicide Prevention
Implementation science is a field which studies the factors needed for ensuring an intervention is used and maintained when deployed in the real world. The goal of our review was to understand the current use of implementation strategies for supporting suicide prevention across diverse settings.
Digestive and molecular adaptations for extreme blood glucose regulation in nectar and fruit bats (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae)
We discovered the duodenum is a crucial blood glucose regulator in the evolution of high-sugar diets. The adaptations result in blood glucose levels >750 mg/dL, the highest recorded in mammals. This indicates new possibilities to improve glycemic control in the human diabetes epidemic.
