    Abstract Sepsis is a heterogenous and imprecise syndrome that includes multiple phenotypes, some of which are amenable to specific therapies. Developing new therapies for sepsis will require focusing on subsets of patients. Key to improving care is evaluating patients for sepsis mimics and treatable diseases whose manifestations lead to a clinical classification of sepsis. Because sepsis is common, it is easy to overlook unusual causes of organ failure and succumb to confirmation bias about the nature of an illness. Careful attention to medical and family histories, focused diagnostic testing, and subspecialty input can help identify potentially treatable diseases masquerading as typical sepsis.

    Abstract Sepsis contributes to 1 of every 5 deaths globally with 3 million per year occurring in children. To improve clinical outcomes in pediatric sepsis, it is critical to avoid "one-size-fits-all" approaches and to employ a precision medicine approach. To advance a precision medicine approach to pediatric sepsis treatments, this review provides a summary of two phenotyping strategies, empiric and machine-learning-based phenotyping based on multifaceted data underlying the complex pediatric sepsis pathobiology. Although empiric and machine-learning-based phenotypes help clinicians accelerate the diagnosis and treatments, neither empiric nor machine-learning-based phenotypes fully encapsulate all aspects of pediatric sepsis heterogeneity. To facilitate accurate delineations of pediatric sepsis phenotypes for precision medicine approach, methodological steps and challenges are further highlighted.

    Abstract Pediatric encephalitis has significant morbidity and mortality, yet 50% of cases are unexplained. Host genetics plays a role in encephalitis' development; however, the contributing variants are poorly understood. One child with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis and ten with unexplained encephalitis underwent whole genome sequencing to identify rare candidate variants in genes known to cause monogenic immunologic and neurologic disorders, and polymorphisms associated with increased disease risk. Using the professional Human Genetic Mutation Database (Qiagen), we divided the candidate variants into three categories: monogenic deleterious or potentially deleterious variants (1) in a disease-consistent inheritance pattern; (2) in carrier states; and (3) disease-related polymorphisms. Six patients (55%) had a deleterious or potentially deleterious variant in a disease-consistent inheritance pattern, five (45%) were heterozygous carriers for an autosomal recessive condition, and six (55%) carried a disease-related polymorphism. Finally, seven (64%) had more than one variant, suggesting possible polygenetic risk. Among variants identified were those implicated in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, common variable immunodeficiency, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. This preliminary study shows genetic variation related to inborn errors of immunity in acute pediatric encephalitis. Future research is needed to determine if these variants play a functional role in the development of unexplained encephalitis.

    Abstract Background: Learning the causal structure helps identify risk factors, disease mechanisms, and candidate therapeutics for complex diseases. However, although complex biological systems are characterized by nonlinear associations, existing bioinformatic methods of causal inference cannot identify the nonlinear relationships and estimate their effect size.
    Results: To overcome these limitations, we developed the first computational method that explicitly learns nonlinear causal relations and estimates the effect size using a deep neural network approach coupled with the knockoff framework, named causal directed acyclic graphs using deep learning variable selection (DAG-deepVASE). Using simulation data of diverse scenarios and identifying known and novel causal relations in molecular and clinical data of various diseases, we demonstrated that DAG-deepVASE consistently outperforms existing methods in identifying true and known causal relations. In the analyses, we also illustrate how identifying nonlinear causal relations and estimating their effect size help understand the complex disease pathobiology, which is not possible using other methods.
    Conclusions: With these advantages, the application of DAG-deepVASE can help identify driver genes and therapeutic agents in biomedical studies and clinical trials.

    Abstract Understanding of ferritin biology has traditionally centered on its role in iron storage and homeostasis, with low ferritin levels indicative of deficiency and high levels indicative of primary or secondary hemochromatosis. However, further work has shown that iron, redox biology and inflammation are inexorably linked. During infection, increased ferritin levels represent an important host defense mechanism that deprives bacterial growth of iron and protects immune cell function. It may also be protective, limiting the production of free radicals and mediating immunomodulation. Additionally, hyperferritinemia is a key acute-phase reactants, used by clinicians as an indication for therapeutic intervention, aimed at controlling inflammation in high-risk patients. One school of thought maintains that hyperferritinemia is an 'innocent bystander' biomarker of uncontrolled inflammation that can be used to gauge effectiveness of intervention. Other schools of thought maintain that ferritin induction could be a protective negative regulatory loop. Others maintain that ferritin is a key mediator of immune dysregulation, especially in extreme hyperferritinemia, via direct immune-suppressive and pro-inflammatory effects. There is a clear need for further investigation of the role of ferritin in uncontrolled inflammatory conditions both as a biomarker and mediator of disease because its occurrence identifies patients with high mortality risk and its resolution predicts their improved survival.
