Cross-species transmission of pathogens can be facilitated by frequent contact among wildlife. Cross-species transmission is often driven by phylogenetic similarity between host species, but the role this plays when multiple host species co-roost is unknown. We developed a generalizable framework for understanding how cross-species transmission is driven by contact among co-roosting species spanning evolutionary similarities and the net impact on roost-level infection prevalence. We developed...

Heart health complications are often diagnosed through the presence of anomalous heartbeat morphologies in the electrocardiogram (ECG). The automated summarization of ECG data can aid clinicians in promoting a more comprehensive, time-sensitive assessment. Given that lead availability may vary in different health-monitoring settings, however, we investigate subset selection in single-lead ECG, 12-lead ECG, vectorcardiogram (VCG), and VCG magnitude representations using data from the St....

Most research studies enrolling adolescent metabolic and bariatric surgery patients rely on in-clinic recruitment methods, subsequently limiting participant diversity. Emerging literature indicates that community-partnered recruitment strategies may increase representation. The current study evaluated recruitment efficiency by comparing a community-partnered approach to additional recruitment channels. Preoperative and postoperative adolescents, and parents/guardians, were invited to participate...
