Article Abstract
Most existing TWAS tools require individual-level eQTL reference data and thus are not applicable to summary-level reference eQTL datasets. The development of TWAS methods that can harness summary-level reference data is valuable to enable TWAS in broader settings and enhance power due to increased reference sample size. Thus, we develop a TWAS framework called OTTERS (Omnibus Transcriptome Test using Expression Reference Summary data) that adapts multiple polygenic risk score (PRS) methods to estimate eQTL weights from summary-level eQTL reference data and conducts an omnibus TWAS. We show that OTTERS is a practical and powerful TWAS tool by both simulations and application studies.

Important Elements of Quality Home End-of-Life Care in China.
JAMA Netw Open
September 2025
School of Nursing, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Importance: The efficacy of home end-of-life care in enhancing the quality of life for terminally ill patients and families has been well documented. While previous studies have explored perspectives on quality home palliative care and end-of-life care in several countries, limited knowledge exists regarding its specific components in the Chinese context.
Objective: To explore the core elements that constitute quality home end-of-life care in China.
Investigating the mechanisms of indocyanine green tumour uptake in sarcoma cell lines and ex vivo human tissue.

Indocyanine green (ICG) is a well-established near-infrared dye which has been used clinically for several decades. Recently, it has been utilised for fluorescence-guided surgery in a range of solid cancer types, including sarcoma, with the aim of reducing the positive margin rate. The increased uptake and retention of ICG within tumours, compared with normal tissue, gives surgeons a visual reference to aid resection when viewed through a near-infrared camera.

J Am Geriatr Soc
September 2025
Department of Biostatistics, Yale School of Public Health, New Haven, Connecticut, USA.
Background: In the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS), use of its Sensitive files leads to incomplete ascertainment of mortality, largely because of losses to follow-up. To account for these losses, we compared two censoring approaches for evaluating mortality.
Methods: In a hybrid approach, most participants were censored at the time of last contact, while the remainder were censored at the time of last completed interview.
Monaural and binaural speech-recognition curves for the freiburg monosyllabic speech test in quiet.

Institute of Hearing Technology and Audiology, Jade University of Applied Sciences, Oldenburg, Germany.
Objective: Determination of monaural and binaural speech-recognition curves for the Freiburg monosyllabic speech test (FMST) in quiet to update and supplement existing normative data.
Design: Monaural and binaural speech-recognition tests were performed in free field at five speech levels in two anechoic test rooms at two sites (Lübeck and Oldenburg, Germany). For the monaural tests, one ear was occluded with a foam earplug.
Water hardness and digestive diseases: a large-scale population-based prospective cohort study.
Int J Surg
September 2025
Department of Data Science, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, SAR, China.
Background: Water hardness, which refers to the level of dissolved calcium and magnesium salts, is of significant public health concern due to its potential impact on health. The association between water hardness and digestive diseases remains underexplored, with limited evidence from small-scale clinical studies. Given the rising prevalence of digestive disorders worldwide, large-scale cohort studies are needed to address this gap in the literature.
