Article Abstract
Background: High-dimensional data of discrete and skewed nature is commonly encountered in high-throughput sequencing studies. Analyzing the network itself or the interplay between genes in this type of data continues to present many challenges. As data visualization techniques become cumbersome for higher dimensions and unconvincing when there is no clear separation between homogeneous subgroups within the data, cluster analysis provides an intuitive alternative. The aim of applying mixture model-based clustering in this context is to discover groups of co-expressed genes, which can shed light on biological functions and pathways of gene products.
Results: A mixture of multivariate Poisson-log normal (MPLN) model is developed for clustering of high-throughput transcriptome sequencing data. Parameter estimation is carried out using a Markov chain Monte Carlo expectation-maximization (MCMC-EM) algorithm, and information criteria are used for model selection.
Conclusions: The mixture of MPLN model is able to fit a wide range of correlation and overdispersion situations, and is suited for modeling multivariate count data from RNA sequencing studies. All scripts used for implementing the method can be found at https://github.com/anjalisilva/MPLNClust .

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence and risk factors for severe perioperative surgical morbidity among patients undergoing cesarean delivery.
Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study of patients who underwent cesarean delivery in any California hospital between 2016 and 2021. Linked birth certificate and maternal discharge data identified cesarean delivery hospitalizations.

Background: Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism are both neurodevelopmental disorders associated with functional impairment in social, academic, and occupational domains.
Methods: This longitudinal study, a follow-up to the CHARGE Study (ReCHARGE), evaluated diagnosis of ADHD and its presentation type (Inattentive, Combined-Hyperactive/Impulsive), in a cohort of 8 to 20 year-olds from four developmental categories recruited at ages 2-5 years: Autism, developmental delay without autism (DD), other early concerns (OEC) or typical development (TD, controls from the general population) (n = 645). ADHD diagnosis was based on parent clinical interviews (DISC or MINI), observational methods and multiple rating scales.
Assessing Racial/Ethnic Variation and Trends in Vaginal Birth after Cesarean in California: A Retrospective Cohort Study Using Linked Birth Certificate and Hospital Discharge Records.

Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, University of California at San Francisco School of Medicine, San Francisco, California.
Increasing the vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) rate to 18% was a Healthy People 2020 goal. Detailed data on racial/ethnic differences in VBAC rates is lacking and can inform efforts to equitably increase VBAC rates. This study aimed to assess racial/ethnic variation in VBAC rates and to describe group trends in VBAC rates in California between 2011 and 2021.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a well-established risk factor for hypertension, with sleep duration being a modifiable factor influencing this risk. However, sleep misperception among OSA patients makes it unclear how subjective and objective sleep duration are associated with the prevalence and incidence of hypertension in this population. This study aims to examine these associations using data from the Sleep Heart Health Study cohort.

Background: Although posterior lumbar fusions (PLFs) have risen in popularity due to minimally invasive techniques and favorable outcomes, complications still arise. Studies show relatively constant rates of postoperative complications from 2006 to 2016, but there are limited studies evaluating outcomes after 2016. Consequently, we aim to investigate trends in postoperative complications for PLFs from 2009 to 2022.
