Precision mapping child undernutrition for nearly 600,000 inhabited census villages in India
There are emerging opportunities to assess health indicators at truly small areas with increasing availability of data geocoded to micro geographic units and advanced modeling techniques. The utility of such fine-grained data can be fully leveraged if linked to local governance units that are accountable for implementation of programs and interventions. We used data from the 2011 Indian Census for village-level demographic and amenities features and the 2016 Indian Demographic and Health Survey in a…

The First Predictor of Impending Stroke: An Internet Search-Based Algorithm Blind to Established Cardiometabolic Risk, Outperforms Classical Risk Factor-Based
Cerebrovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality and disability and an immense global burden. It is partly related to aging in a metabolic syndrome-promoting environment. Prevention strategies are insufficient: they rely on intermittent screening in predominantly high-risk individuals, while most cases occur in the intermediate risk population. Screening algorithms like the Framingham Risk Score predict events in the next decade using traditional risk factors (age, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation and smoking). No…

Humeral elevation workspace during daily life of adults with spinal cord injury who use a manual wheelchair compared to age and sex matched able-bodied controls
Shoulder pain and pathology are extremely common for individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI) who use manual wheelchairs (MWC). Although risky humeral kinematics have been measured during wheelchair-based activities performed in the lab, little is known about arm kinematics in the free-living environment. The purpose of this study was to measure the humeral elevation workspace throughout a typical day for individuals with SCI who use a MWC and matched able-bodied controls. Thirty-four individuals with SCI…

A systematic approach to inserting split inteins for Boolean logic gate engineering and basal activity reduction.
Split inteins are powerful tools for seamless ligation of synthetic split proteins. Yet, their use remains limited because the already intricate split site identification problem is often complicated by the requirement of extein junction sequences. To address this, we augment a mini-Mu transposon-based screening approach and devise the intein-assisted bisection mapping (IBM) method. IBM robustly reveals clusters of split sites on five proteins, converting them into AND or NAND logic gates. We further show that…
