Article Abstract
Recently, deep generative modelling has become an increasingly powerful tool with seminal work in a myriad of disciplines. This powerful modelling approach is supposed to not only have the potential to solve current problems in the medical field but also to enable personalised precision medicine and revolutionise healthcare through applications such as digital twins of patients. Here, the core concepts of generative modelling and popular modelling approaches are first introduced to consider the potential based on methodological concepts for the generation of synthetic data and the ability to learn a representation of observed data. These potentials will be reviewed using current applications in neuroimaging for data synthesis and disease decomposition in Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. Finally, challenges for further research and applications will be discussed, including computational and data requirements, model evaluation, and potential privacy risks.

Identifying levels of alcohol use disorder severity in electronic health records.
Subst Abuse Treat Prev Policy
September 2025
Centre for Interdisciplinary Addiction Research (ZIS), Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), Martinistraße 52, 20246, Hamburg, Germany.
Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is conceptualized as a dimensional phenomenon in the DSM-5, but electronic health records (EHRs) rely on binary AUD definitions according to the ICD-10. The present study classifies AUD severity levels using EHR data and tests whether increasing AUD severity levels are linked with increased comorbidity.
Methods: Billing data from two German statutory health insurance companies in Hamburg included n = 21,954 adults diagnosed with alcohol-specific conditions between 2017 and 2021.
Distinct evolutionary trajectories of subgenomic centromeres in polyploid wheat.
Genome Biol
September 2025
Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 100101, Beijing, China.
Background: Centromeres are crucial for precise chromosome segregation and maintaining genome stability during cell division. However, their evolutionary dynamics, particularly in polyploid organisms with complex genomic architectures, remain largely enigmatic. Allopolyploid wheat, with its well-defined hierarchical ploidy series and recent polyploidization history, serves as an excellent model to explore centromere evolution.

BMC Womens Health
September 2025
Society for Family Health-Nigeria, Abuja, Nigeria.
Background: Interventions aimed to increase healthcare provider empathy and capacity to deliver person-centered care have been shown to improve healthcare seeking and outcomes. In the context of self-injectable contraception, empathetic counseling and coaching may be promising approaches for addressing "fear of the needle" among clients interested in using subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone (DMPA-SC). In Nigeria, the Delivering Innovation in Self-Care (DISC) project developed and evaluated an empathy-based in-service training and supportive supervision intervention for public sector family (FP) planning providers implemented in conjunction with community-based mobilization.

Department of Learning, Informatics, Management & Ethics (LIME) Widerströmska huset, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Background: Live tissue training (LTT) refers to the use of live anaesthetised animals for the purpose of medical education. It is a type of simulation training that is contentious, and there is an ethical imperative for educators to justify the use of animals. This should include scrutinising educational practices.
