Article Abstract
Background: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and osteoporosis (OP) are both prevalent illnesses in spine surgery, with OP being a possible consequence of AS. However, the mechanism of AS-induced OP (AS-OP) remains unknown, limiting etiologic research and therapy of the illness. To mine targetable medicine for the prevention and treatment of AS-OP, this study analyzes public data sets using bioinformatics to identify genes and biological pathways relevant to AS-OP.
Methods: First, text mining was used to identify common genes associated with AS and OP, after which functional analysis was carried out. The STRING database and Cytoscape software were used to create protein-protein interaction networks. Hub genes and potential drugs were discovered using drug-gene interaction analysis and transcription factors-gene interaction analysis.
Results: The results of text mining showed 241 genes common to AS and OP, from which 115 key symbols were sorted out by functional analysis. As options for treating AS-OP, protein-protein interaction analysis yielded 20 genes, which may be targeted by 13 medications.
Conclusions: Carlumab, bermekimab, rilonacept, rilotumumab, and ficlatuzumab were first identified as the potential drugs for the treatment of AS-OP, proving the value of text mining and pathway analysis in drug discovery.

Digital Hostility Toward LGBTQIA+ Research Recruitment on Social Media Using Topic Modeling and Sentiment Analysis of Facebook Comments: Quantitative Content Analysis Study.
J Med Internet Res
September 2025
Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Boston University, Boston, United States.
Background: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual (LGBTQIA+) researchers and participants frequently encounter hostility in virtual environments, particularly on social media platforms where public commentary on research advertisements can foster stigmatization. Despite a growing body of work on researcher virtual hostility, little empirical research has examined the actual content and emotional tone of public responses to LGBTQIA+-focused research recruitment.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the thematic patterns and sentiment of social media comments directed at LGBTQIA+ research recruitment advertisements, in order to better understand how virtual stigma is communicated and how it may impact both researchers and potential participants.
Generative artificial intelligence for automated data extraction from unstructured medical text.
JAMIA Open
October 2025
Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, United States.
Objectives: Unstructured data, such as procedure notes, contain valuable medical information that is frequently underutilized due to the labor-intensive nature of data extraction. This study aims to develop a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) pipeline using an open-source Large Language Model (LLM) with built-in guardrails and a retry mechanism to extract data from unstructured right heart catheterization (RHC) notes while minimizing errors, including hallucinations.
Materials And Methods: A total of 220 RHC notes were randomly selected for pipeline development and 200 for validation from the Pulmonary Vascular Disease Registry.
Water, sanitation, and hygiene challenges in last-mile artisanal mining communities in Ghana and Uganda.

Department of Health, Aging & Society, McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada.
Introduction: Access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) is critical for public health but remains inadequate in marginalized areas, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa's artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) communities. Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in these settings face unique challenges that impact their health and wellbeing.
Objective: This study aimed to assess WASH access among adolescent girls and young women (aged 10-24) in last-mile ASM communities in Ghana and Uganda, identifying disparities and factors influencing access.
Gender Differences in the Incidence and Types of Sports Injuries Among Female Athletes: A Scoping Review.

College of Physical Education, Southwest University, Chongqing, China.
With the increasing participation of women in sports, understanding gender differences in sports injuries has become crucial. This study compares the incidence of sports injuries in male and female athletes through a scope review, analyzes the gender specific patterns of common injury types, summarizes the current situation and challenges of sports injury prevention in female athletes, and proposes targeted clinical practice and research recommendations. This study adopted a scope review design, followed the PRISMA ScR guidelines, and registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251058146).

Tree-based scan statistics (TBSS) are data mining methods that screen thousands of hierarchically related health outcomes to detect unsuspected adverse drug effects. TBSS traditionally analyze claims data with outcomes defined via diagnosis codes. TBSS have not been previously applied to rich clinical information in Electronic Health Records (EHR).
