Seasonality of the Meridional Overturning Circulation in the subpolar North Atlantic.

Understanding the variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is essential for better predictions of our changing climate. Here we present an updated time series (August 2014 to June 2020) from the Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program. The 6-year time series allows us to observe the seasonality of the subpolar overturning and meridional heat and freshwater transports.

Microbiology 2.0-A "behind the scenes" consideration for artificial intelligence applications for interpretive culture plate reading in routine diagnostic laboratories.

Laboratory automation with Artificial Intelligence (AI) features have now emerged into routine diagnostic clinical use to interpret growth on agar plates. Applications are currently limited to urine samples and infection control screens, yet some of the details around the development of algorithms remain entrenched with AI development specialists and are not well understood by laboratorians. The generation of algorithms is not a trivial task and is a highly structured process, with several considerations needed to develop the appropriate data for specific intended uses.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine intentions and uptake in a tertiary-care healthcare system: A longitudinal study.

Objectives: Healthcare workers (HCWs) are a high-priority group for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination and serve as sources for public information. In this analysis, we assessed vaccine intentions, factors associated with intentions, and change in uptake over time in HCWs.

Methods: A prospective cohort study of COVID-19 seroprevalence was conducted with HCWs in a large healthcare system in the Chicago area.
