Human metapneumovirus associated acute respiratory infections burden in older adults globally
No full textBackground:
The human metapneumovirus (hMPV)- associated disease burden in older adults remains under-researched. This review aimed to systematically estimate the global burden of hMPV-associated disease in older adults.
Methods:
We searched Medline, Embase, Global Health, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Global Index Medicus in February 2023, November 2023 and October 2024; and CNKI, Wanfang and CQVip in April 2024 and October 2024. We included studies conducted over ≥12 consecutive months, reporting on adults aged ≥60 years, and with laboratory-confirmed hMPV infections. Critical appraisal of included studies was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools. Random effects meta-analyses were conducted to estimate the pooled hMPV proportions positive in acute respiratory infections (ARIs). Using Monte Carlo simulation, we estimated the hMPV-associated hospitalisations globally, in high-income countries, low-and-middle-income countries and the USA in ≥65 years during 2019 as most studies reported on this age group. The hMPV-associated ARI incidence in countries other than the USA and outpatient/ community settings in the USA was summarised narratively.
The review protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023422325).
Findings:
Forty-six studies conducted between 2005 and 2023, and reporting on hMPV proportion positive estimates (n=36, with 29,866 laboratory tests), hospitalisation rate in the USA (n=4), and hMPV incidence (n=6) were included. We estimated 473,000 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 396,000; 777,000) hMPV-associated hospitalisations globally, 185,000 (105,000; 340,000) in high-income countries (n=6), and 288,000 (193,000; 436,000) in low-and-middle-income countries (n=10) in people aged ≥65 years during 2019. In the USA, the pooled hMPV-associated hospitalisation rate (n=4) was 231 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 41; 421) per 100,000 persons in those aged ≥65 years, representing approximately 122,000 (41,000; 398,000) hospital admissions in this population during 2019.
Interpretation:
hMPV-associated ARIs contribute to a significant disease and hospitalisation burden in older adults. However, large-scale surveillance studies with more investment in research and diagnostic methods to develop reliable estimates are required

In the last quarter of the century, even as the foundational programmes of Europe and America lost their impetus, the baton was passed on to other countries, especially in eastern Asia, where the narrative of Modern mass housing was reinvigorated for the next century - a unique example of a key Modernist project that actually continues and thrives today, and which thus forms a principal focus of interest for DOCOMOMO – the leading international organisation promoting the documentation and conservation of buildings, sites and neighbourhoods of the Modern Movement. As heritage, the built legacies of this diverse and multi-generational adventure are almost always too controversial to qualify for conservation strategies. Instead, therefore, recording and inventorisation must dominate the heritage interest in this field. In the recognition of that fact, DOCOMOMO’s International Specialist Committee on Urbanism and Landscape, in partnership with the Scottish Centre for Conservation Studies at the University of Edinburgh, has launched the International Mass Housing Archive, whose aim is to provide an open-access library of images of significant housing projects in each working-group territory, free of copyright restrictions. These files may be copied, edited and shared on condition the appropriate citation is used, as per the terms of the attached Creative Commons Attribution licence. ### Structure ### The International Mass Housing Archive is subdivided under geographical headings corresponding to the constituent working groups of DOCOMOMO, and the individual housing projects are searchable under city and project name. Initially, the Image Archive will be managed and augmented centrally by DOCOMOMO and the SCCS, in partnership with University of Edinburgh Information Services, commencing with pilot city surveys sourced from our own photographic records in the first instance. The archive is related to several existing mass housing documentation initiatives. These include one concerning Britain, namely the online version of the 1994 book, Tower Block: http://towerblock.org/TowerBlock.pd

Dataset for Paper "Role of preload in determining the performance enhancement of tidal turbines by passive pitch"
No full textExperimental data and plotting scripts (MATLAB) correspond to the project "Role of preload in determining the performance enhancement of tidal turbines by passive pitch". The project studied the effect of spring preload in a passive blade pitch mechanism used for alleviating load fluctuations in tidal turbines. The data set has been produced in FloWave on a model-scale tidal turbine (December 2023). The data covers measured turbine loads for two far stream flow speeds, measured for a fixed-pitch turbine and a passively pitching counterpart at varied tip speed ratios. For the passively pitching case, three preloads have been tested, to show that the choice in spring preloads affects the point of matched time-averaged performance between passively pitching and fixed pitch turbines
Dissecting the genetic and proteomic risk factors for delirium
No full textDelirium is an acute change in cognition, common in hospitalised older adults, and associated with high healthcare and human cost. In this work we shed light on the currently poorly understood genetic and proteomic background of delirium. We conducted the largest to date multi-ancestry analysis of genetic variants associated with delirium (1,059,130 individuals, 11,931 cases), yielding the Apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene as a strong risk factor with possible population and age-varying effects. APOE genetic effect on delirium remained significant after adjusting for dementia and Alzheimer disease (AD) and in dementia-free cohorts. A multi-trait analysis of delirium with AD identified 5 delirium genetic risk loci. Investigation of plasma proteins associated with up to 16-years incident delirium (32,652 individuals, 541 cases) revealed known and novel protein biomarkers, implicating brain vulnerability, inflammation and immune response processes. Incorporating proteomic and genetic evidence via mendelian randomisation, colocalisation and druggability analyses, we indicate putatively useful drug target proteins for delirium. Integrating proteins and APOE genetic risk with demographics significantly improved incident delirium prediction compared to demographics alone. Our results pave the way to better understanding delirium’s aetiology and guide further research on clinically relevant biomarkers
Optimized Lattice-Structured Flexible EIT Sensor for Tactile Reconstruction and Classification
No full textThis dataset is for publication "Optimized Lattice-Structured Flexible EIT Sensor for Tactile Reconstruction and Classification". ABSTRACT: Flexible electrical impedance tomography (EIT) offers a promising alternative to traditional tactile sensing approaches, enabling low-cost, scalable, and deformable sensor designs. Here, we propose an optimized lattice-structured flexible EIT tactile sensor incorporating a hydrogel-based conductive layer, systematically designed through three-dimensional coupling field simulations to optimize structural parameters for enhanced sensitivity and robustness. By tuning the lattice channel width and conductive layer thickness, we achieve significant improvements in tactile reconstruction quality and classification performance. Experimental results demonstrate high-quality tactile reconstruction with correlation coefficients up to 0.9275, peak signal-to-noise ratios reaching 29.0303 dB, and structural similarity indexes up to 0.9660, while maintaining low relative errors down to 0.3798. Furthermore, the optimized sensor accurately classifies 12 distinct tactile stimuli with an accuracy reaching 99.6%. These results highlight the potential of simulation-guided structural optimization for advancing flexible EIT-based tactile sensors toward practical applications in wearable systems, robotics, and human-machine interfaces
