AI in Point-of-Care - A Sustainable Healthcare Revolution at the Edge.

This paper examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in point-of-care testing (POCT) to enhance diagnostic speed, accuracy, and accessibility, particularly in underserved regions. AI-driven POCT is shown to optimize clinical decision-making, reduce diagnostic times, and offer personalized healthcare solutions, with applications in genome sequencing and infectious disease management. The paper highlights the environmental challenges of AI, including high energy consumption and electronic waste, and proposes solutions such as energy-efficient algorithms and edge computing.

Effects of ruminal SCFA concentration and pH on histology, hematology, and inflammation in cannulated Holstein dairy calves.

Optimizing rumen development is key to preparing calves for weaning; however, it is unclear what effect rumen development has on calf health via ruminal infusion. This study investigated the effects of ruminal SCFA concentrations and pH on hematology, gut morphology, and inflammation of liver and rumen tissues in dairy calves. Holstein calves (n = 32) had the rumen cannulated within the first week of life and at wk 2 were blocked by body weight and randomly assigned in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments.

Supplementary oxygen efficacy for chronic pulmonary disorders and exertion desaturation.

Introduction: Exertion-induced desaturation (EID) is a common complication of numerous pulmonary disorders and often treated with supplementary oxygen during exertion. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised clinical trials (RCTs) to evaluate the efficacy of supplementary oxygen for EID in pulmonary disorders.

Material And Methods: Medline and Embase were systematically searched from July 2022 to June 2023 following PRISMA guidelines.

The GATA-3-dependent transcriptome and tumor microenvironment are regulated by eIF4E and XPO1 in T-cell lymphomas.

The transcription factor GATA-3 and the transcriptional program it regulates have emerged as oncogenic drivers across diverse T-cell lymphomas (TCL), many of which are resistant to conventional chemotherapeutic agents and characterized by recurrent losses of key tumor suppressor genes, including TP53 and PTEN, both of which are clients of the nuclear export protein XPO1. Here we demonstrated that XPO1 is highly expressed by malignant T cells expressing GATA-3 and by lymphoma-associated macrophages (LAM) within their tumor microenvironment (TME). Using complementary genetically engineered mouse (GEM) models, we demonstrated that TP53 and/or PTEN deficient TCL, and LAM within their TME, are sensitive to the selective XPO1 antagonist selinexor.

Rapid and accurate testing for urinary tract infection: new clothes for the emperor.

SUMMARYUrinary tract infection (UTI) is among the most common infections in clinical practice. In some cases, if left untreated, it can lead to pyelonephritis and urosepsis. In other cases, UTI resolves without treatment.
