WASH interventions and child diarrhea at the interface of climate and socioeconomic position in Bangladesh

Household water, sanitation, and handwashing (WASH) interventions can reduce diarrhoea-related morbidity in young children. Here, the authors report findings from a pre-specified secondary analysis of a cluster-randomised trial assessing how WASH impacts vary by socioeconomic position and season.

A cluster-randomized trial of water, sanitation, handwashing and nutritional interventions on stress and epigenetic programming

A regulated stress response is essential for healthy child growth and development. Here, the authors show that a nutrition, water, sanitation, and hygiene intervention enhanced adaptive responses of the physiological stress system in early childhood.

Water, sanitation, handwashing, and nutritional interventions can reduce child antibiotic use: evidence from Bangladesh and Kenya

In this work, authors show that randomized water, sanitation, hygiene and nutrition interventions reduced child antibiotic use in Bangladesh (in parallel with high intervention uptake and reduced infections) but not Kenya (in parallel with lower uptake and no effect on infections).

Paratype: a genotyping tool for Salmonella Paratyphi A reveals its global genomic diversity

The bacterium Salmonella Paratyphi A causes paratyphoid fever. Here, the authors sequence over 800 isolates from South Asia, build a global database representing 37 countries, and develop a genotyping tool that identifies genomic variation and antimicrobial resistance markers for surveillance studies.

Drinking water chlorination has minor effects on the intestinal flora and resistomes of Bangladeshi children

A substudy nested within a double-blind cluster-randomized controlled trial in Bangladesh shows that drinking chlorinated water had relatively minor impacts on children’s gut microbiome development in this setting.

Geographic pair matching in large-scale cluster randomized trials

Geographic location can be a key determinant of human health outcomes. Here, the authors show that in large-scale trials, randomization that is pair matched by geography can lead to substantial improvements in statistical efficiency and enable insights into spatially varying intervention effects.

Displacing fishmeal with protein derived from stranded methane

Methanotrophic bacteria can capture waste greenhouse gas emissions and feed fish, reducing the need for wild captures. An economic analysis shows great potential for this approach to replace aquaculture feed at competitive prices.

Neutrophil metabolomics in severe COVID-19 reveal GAPDH as a suppressor of neutrophil extracellular trap formation

Severe COVID-19 is characterized by an accumulation of and functional changes in neutrophils. Using metabolomics, the authors demonstrate that neutrophils display a reduction in GAPDH activity in severe COVID-19 and that GAPDH inhibition promotes neutrophil extracellular trap formation.

Deep learning-based detection and segmentation of diffusion abnormalities in acute ischemic stroke

Liu et al. develop a deep learning-based tool to detect and segment diffusion abnormalities seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in acute ischemic stroke. The tool is tested in two clinical MRI datasets and outperforms existing algorithms in the detection of small lesions, potentially allowing clinicians and clinical researchers to more quickly and accurately diagnose and assess ischemic strokes.
