NEWS outperformed (AUROC 0.69; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.68-0.69) qSOFA (AUROC 0.63; 95% CI 0.62-0.63; p less then 0.001) and SI (AUROC 0.60; 95% CI 0.60-0.61; p less then 0.001) at predicting unplanned escalations or death at 24 h. CONCLUSIONS This multicenter study found NEWS was superior to the qSOFA score and SI in predicting early, unplanned escalation of care for ED patients admitted to a general medical-surgical floor. The three-host tick Haemaphysalis longicornis is an obligate blood-sucking ectoparasite. In life-stage transitions, microRNAs (miRNAs) show a variety of expression changes. To investigate these changes, deep sequencing technology was applied to identify the conserved and potentially novel miRNAs expressed during the different life stages of H. longicornis. Total RNA from eggs, unfed larvae, unfed nymphs and unfed adults was extracted for deep sequence analysis. Deep sequencing on a Hiseq 4000 generated a total of 111,192,069 reads, grouped into four small RNA (sRNA) libraries, one for each of the four developmental stages of H. longicornis. Among these sequences, 78 conserved and 55 potentially novel miRNAs were identified, including stage-specific and differentially expressed miRNAs. Gene ontology (GO) analysis indicated significantly enriched GO terms related to cell proliferation and differentiation, including specific terms for the processes of development, growth, metabolism, regulation of biological functions, reproduction, and membrane enzyme regular activity. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed a significant enrichment of the insulin, notch, Hippo, and Wnt signaling pathways for growth and development. Our data highlight the abundance of miRNA changes (conserved and potentially novel) in the different life stages of H. longicornis. In particular, stage-speci
