Article Abstract
Recently, a new crowd-sourced language metric has been introduced, entitled word prevalence, which estimates the proportion of the population that knows a given word. This measure has been shown to account for unique variance in large sets of lexical performance. This article aims to build on the work of Brysbaert et al. and Keuleers et al. by introducing new corpus-based metrics that estimate how likely a word is to be an active member of the natural language environment, and hence known by a larger subset of the general population. This metric is derived from an analysis of a newly collected corpus of over 25,000 fiction and non-fiction books and will be shown that it is capable of accounting for significantly more variance than past corpus-based measures.

Distribution and Risk Factors of Scrub Typhus in South Korea, From 2013 to 2019: Bayesian Spatiotemporal Analysis.
JMIR Public Health Surveill
September 2025
Department of Preventive Medicine, College of Medicine, Korea University, 73 Goryeodae-ro, Seoungbuk-gu, Seoul, 02841, Republic of Korea, 82 2-2286-1169.
Background: Scrub typhus (ST), also known as tsutsugamushi disease, is a common febrile vector-borne illness in South Korea, transmitted by trombiculid mites infected with Orientia tsutsugamushi, with rodents serving as the main hosts. Although vector-borne diseases like ST require both a One Health approach and a spatiotemporal perspective to fully understand their complex dynamics, previous studies have often lacked integrated analyses that simultaneously address disease dynamics, vectors, and environmental shifts.
Objective: We aimed to explore spatiotemporal trends, high-risk areas, and risk factors of ST by simultaneously incorporating host and environmental information.
Marburg Virus Disease in Rwanda, 2024 - Public Health and Clinical Responses.

Rwanda Biomedical Center, Kigali.
Background: On September 27, 2024, Rwanda reported an outbreak of Marburg virus disease (MVD), after a cluster of cases of viral hemorrhagic fever was detected at two urban hospitals.
Methods: We report key aspects of the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment of MVD during this outbreak, as well as the overall response to the outbreak. We performed a retrospective epidemiologic and clinical analysis of data compiled across all pillars of the outbreak response and a case-series analysis to characterize clinical features, disease progression, and outcomes among patients who received supportive care and investigational therapeutic agents.
Associations of Chronic Insomnia, Longitudinal Cognitive Outcomes, Amyloid-PET, and White Matter Changes in Cognitively Normal Older Adults.
Neurology
October 2025
Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Background And Objectives: The relationship between insomnia and cognitive decline is poorly understood. We investigated associations between chronic insomnia, longitudinal cognitive outcomes, and brain health in older adults.
Methods: From the population-based Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, we identified cognitively unimpaired older adults with or without a diagnosis of chronic insomnia who underwent annual neuropsychological assessments (z-scored global cognitive scores and cognitive status) and had quantified serial imaging outcomes (amyloid-PET burden [centiloid] and white matter hyperintensities from MRI [WMH, % of intracranial volume]).
Domains shaping experiences around food with implications for food insecurity among students at a public university in the United States.

Despite alarming rates of students' food insecurity in the US (41%), estimates may not be fully capturing experiences in university settings. Understanding students' food insecurity is a knowledge gap flagged amidst outstanding progress on food security measurement in household settings. This study investigated the domains shaping the experiences around food with implications for food insecurity among students.

Background: Wildfires significantly affect air quality in the Western United States. Although prior research has linked wildfire smoke PM to respiratory health outcomes, these studies typically have limited geographic and temporal coverage, lacking evidence from multiple states over extended periods.
Methods: We obtained data on over 6 million emergency department (ED) visits for respiratory diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), upper respiratory infections (URI), and bronchitis, from five states in the Western US during 2007-2018.
