In the fall of 2021, 12,900 refugee guests were welcomed to a US Army Total Force Training Center in the rural Midwest. Numerous challenges were experienced on base, including several communicable disease outbreaks. Infection prevention and control experts from the state health department were invited on base to observe and provide infection prevention and control consultation.

Application of artificial intelligence in laryngeal lesions: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of AI-assisted technologies, including endoscopy, voice analysis, and histopathology, for detecting and classifying laryngeal lesions.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, etc. for studies utilizing voice analysis, histopathology for laryngeal lesions, or AI-assisted endoscopy.

Loss of synovial tissue macrophage homeostasis precedes rheumatoid arthritis clinical onset.

This study performed an in-depth investigation into the myeloid cellular landscape in the synovium of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), "individuals at risk" of RA, and healthy controls (HC). Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated the presence of a CD40-expressing CD206CD163 macrophage population dominating the inflamed RA synovium, associated with disease activity and treatment response. In-depth RNA sequencing and metabolic analysis demonstrated that this macrophage population is transcriptionally distinct, displaying unique inflammatory and tissue-resident gene signatures, has a stable bioenergetic profile, and regulates stromal cell responses.
