Astropy: A community Python package for astronomy
We present the first public version (v0.2) of the open-source and community-developed Python package, Astropy. This package provides core astronomy-related functionality to the community, including support for domain-specific file formats such as flexibl
astroquery: An Astronomical Web-querying Package in Python
Astroquery is a collection of tools for requesting data from databases hosted on remote servers with interfaces exposed on the Internet, including those with web pages but without formal application program interfaces. These tools are built on the Python requests package, which is used to make HTTP requests, and astropy, which provides most of the data parsing functionality. astroquery modules generally attempt to replicate the web page interface provided by a given service as closely as possible, making the transition from browser-based to command-line interaction easy. astroquery has received significant contributions from throughout the astronomical community, including several from telescope archives. astroquery enables the creation of fully reproducible workflows from data acquisition through publication. This paper describes the philosophy, basic structure, and development model of the astroquery package. The complete documentation for astroquery can be found at http://astroquery.readthedocs.io/

Association of COVID-19 Versus COVID-19 Vaccination With Kidney Function and Disease Activity in Primary Glomerular Disease: A Report of the Cure Glomerulonephropathy Study
Patients with glomerular disease (GN) may be at increased risk of severe COVID-19, yet concerns over vaccines causing disease relapse may lead to vaccine hesitancy. We examined the associations of COVID-19 with longitudinal kidney function and proteinuria and compared these to similar associations with COVID-19 vaccination.
Observational cohort study from July 1, 2021 to Jan. 1, 2023.
& Participants: A prospective observational study network of 71 centers from North America and Europe (CureGN) with children and adults with primary minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, membranous nephropathy, or IgA nephropathy.
COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccination.
Repeated measure of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR); recurrent time-to-event outcome of GN disease worsening as defined by doubling of UPCR to at least 1.5g/g or increase in dipstick urine protein by two ordinal levels to 3+ (300mg/dL) or above.
Interrupted time series analysis for eGFR. Prognostic matched sequential stratification recurrent event analysis for GN disease worsening.
Among 2,055 participants, 722 (35%) reported COVID-19; of these, 92 (13%) were hospitalized and 3 died (<1%). eGFR slope pre-COVID-19 was -1.40ml/min/1.73m2 (SD 0.29), and -4.26ml/min/1.73m2 (SD 3.02) within 6 months post-COVID-19, which were not significantly different (p=0.34). COVID-19 was associated with increased risk of worsening GN disease activity (HR 1.35, 95% CI 1.01-1.80). Vaccination was not associated with change in eGFR (-1.34ml/min/1.73m2, SD 0.15 vs -2.16ml/min/1.73m2, SD 1.74; p=0.6) or subsequent GN disease worsening (HR 1.02, 95% CI 0.79–1.33) in this cohort.
Infrequent or short follow-up.
Among patients with primary GN, COVID-19 was severe for 1 in 8 cases and was associated with subsequent worsening of GN disease activity, as defined by proteinuria. In contrast, vaccination against COVID-19 was not associated with change in disease activity or kidney function decline. These results support COVID-19 vaccination for patients with GN.
In this cohort study of 2,055 patients with minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, membranous nephropathy, or IgA nephropathy, COVID-19 resulted in hospitalization or death for 1 in 8 cases and was associated with a 35% increase in risk for worsening proteinuria. In contrast, vaccination did not appear to adversely affect kidney function or proteinuria. Our data support vaccination for COVID-19 in patients with glomerular disease
