A study in BMCPulmMed finds that respiratory bacterial co-infections and secondary infections are uncommon in patients with COVID-19 but may worsen outcomes. Assessment of bacterial complications is important in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
We would like to thank all the participants involved in this study, and all members of the Japan COVID-19 Task Force engaged in clinical and research work on COVID-19 every day. All members contributed cases to this study.

Europeans' life satisfaction recovers to pre-pandemic levels despite COVID-19 impact, study findsResearch analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on life satisfaction in Europe over three years. The study finds that while the pandemic had an adverse impact on life satisfaction, on average, satisfaction with life in the summer of 2022 is about the same as the pre-pandemic value in the autumn of 2019.

DGH-GO: dissecting the genetic heterogeneity of complex diseases using gene ontology - BMC BioinformaticsBackground Complex diseases such as neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) exhibit multiple etiologies. The multi-etiological nature of complex-diseases emerges from distinct but functionally similar group of genes. Different diseases sharing genes of such groups show related clinical outcomes that further restrict our understanding of disease mechanisms, thus, limiting the applications of personalized medicine approaches to complex genetic disorders. Results Here, we present an interactive and user-friendly application, called DGH-GO. DGH-GO allows biologists to dissect the genetic heterogeneity of complex diseases by stratifying the putative disease-causing genes into clusters that may contribute to distinct disease outcome development. It can also be used to study the shared etiology of complex-diseases. DGH-GO creates a semantic similarity matrix for the input genes by using Gene Ontology (GO). The resultant matrix can be visualized in 2D plots using different dimension reduction methods (T-SNE, Principal component analysis, umap and Principal coordinate analysis). In the next step, clusters of functionally similar genes are identified from genes functional similarities assessed through GO. This is achieved by employing four different clustering methods (K-means, Hierarchical, Fuzzy and PAM). The user may change the clustering parameters and explore their effect on stratification immediately. DGH-GO was applied to genes disrupted by rare genetic variants in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) patients. The analysis confirmed the multi-etiological nature of ASD by identifying four clusters of genes that were enriched for distinct biological mechanisms and clinical outcome. In the second case study, the analysis of genes shared by different NDDs showed that genes causing multiple disorders tend to aggregate in similar clusters, indicating a possible shared etiology. Conclusion DGH-GO is a user-friendly application that allows biologists to study the multi-etiological natu
