Broader global access to Paxlovid, coupled with appropriately timed treatment, can mitigate the severity and transmission of SARS-Cov-2 as the virus and the landscape of immunity continue to evolve.

Older PhenoAge was consistently related to an increased risk of incident cancer with adjustment for chronological age and the aging process could be retarded by adherence to a healthy lifestyle.

Individuals with higher blood levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, especially omega-3, are less likely to die, either from any cause, cancer or cardiovascular disease.

The mathematical modeling approach disentangles the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on antibiotic resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae in the community setting and identifies the three most plausible driving mechanisms responsible for the observed trends in invasive isolates and pneumococcal carriage.

Prompt contact tracing (testing at the beginning instead of at the end of isolation period) of individuals with COVID-19 in the community reduces delays in contact tracing, increases identification of source of infection, and reduces transmission rates in educational settings.

Region of Attainable Redaction analysis allows scientists to estimate the potential impacts of redaction in biomedical science, helping to uncover potentially spurious or non-robust results.

A novel compartment model identifies the impact of malaria strain diversity on biogeographic drug resistance patterns, supported by empirical evidence.

The optimal allocation strategy prioritizes funding to high-transmission settings in sub-Saharan Africa, but highlights a trade-off between reducing clinical malaria burden and reducing the global population at risk of malaria.
