Super excited to share our new preprint!

We built global reference curves of pain from 6.1M people in 118 countries 🌍 to find out how pain unfolds across the lifespan, and how individual- and country-level risk factors shape these trajectories.

Our new @NatureHumBehav paper shows why we need a holistic pain biomarker framework. ML on blood tests, brain/bone imaging & genetics predicts clinical diagnoses but falls short on subjective pain. Adding psychosocial (mood, sleep, stress) boosts both. https://t.co/PBGDwIDBkH

Our new @NatureComms paper: We used UK Biobank data (n≈193K) to build ML models predicting tinnitus presence (driven by hearing health) and severity (influenced by mood, neuroticism & sleep). A simple 6-item POST questionnaire forecasts 9-yr outcomes. https://t.co/AfZm2GMuJg

Current projections estimate 153 million people will be living with dementia by 2050.

Nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed by tackling 14 risk factors starting in childhood, suggests new report from a standing Lancet Commission: https://t.co/ZFRBBbIfdZ

@b2_kaya @PAINthejournal Nice congrats

Our new lab paper suggests that almost all (between 75-90%) cognitively intact people with abnormal plasma p-tau217 values subsequently developed MCI when followed for <10 years after their blood test. (14% in A-T-) I have mixed feeling of being happy and scarred... 😳#Alzheimer

Our latest preprint is here: https://t.co/JctrtPJX8E. Using the UK Biobank, All of Us, and Open Pain portal, we propose a holistic framework to optimize the prediction of biomarkers for chronic pain.

🧠 Exciting news! 🎉 Our UK Biobank connectome resource is officially released on UKB showcase! The paper is now published, and we're thrilled to share the largest human brain network dataset to date with the research community. #HumanConnectome (1/6)

@sTeamTraen @StuartJRitchie Yes indeed

[Etienne Vachon-Presseau @evp82]

@DerekGriffin86 @machall2110 I believe there is one or two rebuttals to this paper. Fibromyalgia is indeed not simple, perhaps central amplification, early life events may play a role (but not the only factor). New models need to test this. Theoretical models are fine but we can/should/can actually test them

Did you know @IASPpain requires you to DELETE your preprint if your paper is accepted there? Couldn’t believe it when I heard.

[Etienne Vachon-Presseau @evp82]

@mlopezsola82 @FndPortal @NatureMedicine Thank you !

[Etienne Vachon-Presseau @evp82]

Our paper about chronic pain led by @TanguaySabourinis out in @NatureMedicine | https://t.co/QbLpVMjXPD. This article introduces the concept of pain spread in chronic overlapping pain conditions and shows that it can be predicted. (1/4)

[Etienne Vachon-Presseau @evp82]

@DrCMcMaster 🥲but the same features were applied to a wide range of diagnosed medical conditions with relatively good success. But agree with your take home message…

@dmellingsen @laurenatlas @NatureMedicine Thank you !
