Thanks Mike for your question.
I searched for ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome), Ischaemic stroke, and Sepsis, but they only showed up as a side effects, not diseases.
Unfortunately, those diseases were not included in Hetionet v1.0 as diseases. While they do show up as side effects, the only relationship we have for side effects is Compound-causes-Side Effect. Hence, those Side Effects nodes won't be very helpful for understanding a disease.
Am I doing something wrong with the search, or is this just the way the database is curated?
You are doing things right. I'm copying a section of the Rephetio Manuscript describing how we decided what disease nodes to include:
We selected 137 terms from the Disease Ontology [77,78] (which we refer to as DO Slim [79,80]) as our disease set. Our goal was to identify complex diseases that are distinct and specific enough to be clinically relevant yet general enough to be well annotated. To this end, we included diseases that have been studied by GWAS and cancer types from
TopNodes_DOcancerslim
[81]. We ensured that no DO Slim disease was a subtype of another DO Slim disease.

When building Hetionet v1.0, our focus was complex diseases with sufficient information to be well-connected. Perhaps today, we could rebuild the network with more diseases. But until then, you won't be able to directly infer things about "ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome), Ischaemic stroke, and Sepsis".
An alternative option if you're an expert in those conditions would be to start with genes, pathways, or symptoms related to those diseases and see if you get anwhere.

Thanks, Daniel!
I will try searching genes, pathways, and symptoms and see how it goes.
I imagine it would be a significant amount of work to rebuild the network with more diseases? I will see if people in my lab are interested in helping with this kind of work. Maybe we could discuss in more detail in the next couple weeks? Since we can't go into lab right now, this kind of computational/database project could be perfect for us now.

Yes it's a lot of work since many of the 29 input datasets would have to be reprocessed with the new disease set. The place where all the datasets are combined is here.
Since we can't go into lab right now, this kind of computational/database project could be perfect for us now.
Happy to help anyone in your lab get going in the right direction. Ideally, the person would have experience with Git, Python, Pandas, and Jupyter notebooks (or be willing to spend some extra time learning).
