- The frequency of, and risk factors for, long COVID are unclear among community-based individuals with a history of COVID-19. To elucidate the burden and possible causes of long COVID in the community, we coordinated analyses of survey data from 6907 individuals with self-reported COVID-19 from 10 UK longitudinal study (LS) samples and 1.1 million individuals with COVID-19 diagnostic codes in electronic healthcare records (EHR) collected by spring 2021. Proportions of presumed COVID-19 cases in LS reporting any symptoms for 12+ weeks ranged from 7.8% and 17% (with 1.2 to 4.8% reporting debilitating symptoms). Increasing age, female sex, white ethnicity, poor pre-pandemic general and mental health, overweight/obesity, and asthma were associated with prolonged symptoms in both LS and EHR data, but findings for other factors, such as cardio-metabolic parameters, were inconclusive.

- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with marked gender and ethnic disparities. We report a large transancestral association study of SLE using Immunochip genotype data from 27,574 individuals of European (EA), African (AA) and Hispanic Amerindian (HA) ancestry. We identify 58 distinct non-HLA regions in EA, 9 in AA and 16 in HA (similar to 50% of these regions have multiple independent associations); these include 24 novel SLE regions (P < 5 x 10(-8)), refined association signals in established regions, extended associations to additional ancestries, and a disentangled complex HLA multigenic effect. The risk allele count (genetic load) exhibits an accelerating pattern of SLE risk, leading us to posit a cumulative hit hypothesis for autoimmune disease. Comparing results across the three ancestries identifies both ancestry-dependent and ancestry-independent contributions to SLE risk. Our results are consistent with the unique and complex histories of the populations sampled, and collectively help clarify the genetic architecture and ethnic disparities in SLE.

Nucleation in the p-toluenesulfonamide/triphenylphosphine oxide co-crystal system

- Nucleation has been studied in pure co-crystal and mixed co-crystal phase regions of the ternary phase diagram (TPD) in acetonitrile at 20 C using cooling crystallization experiments. Direct nucleation of each of the co-crystal phases in this system was independently observed in regions of the TPD where each is stable. In mixed regions, regions where either a co-crystal and a coformer, or both co-crystals, are stable, the phase that initially nucleated was a function of the mass composition in that region. The relative amount of each phase nucleating could be controlled by adjusting the relative mass fraction of each component. The kinetic return to equilibrium was also observed as the systems were held over time, with the selected mass fractions always returning to the equilibrium dictated by the TPD after 24 h

- A solution mediated transformation between two co-crystal phases has been observed for the p-toluensulfonamide-triphenylphosphine oxide co-crystal system. This system has two known co-crystals with 1 : 1 and 3 : 2 stoichiometry respectively, and the ternary phase diagram (TPD) for the system has been determined in acetonitrile previously. By manipulating the solution composition in this solvent to a region of the TPD where the 1 : 1 co-crystal is stable, the 3 : 2 co-crystal could be observed to convert to the 1 : 1 co-crystal. The corresponding transformation was true for the 1 : 1 co-crystal in a region of the TPD where the 3 : 2 co-crystal is stable; the 1 : 1 co-crystal converted to the 3 : 2 co-crystal.
