The IBEX Imaging Knowledge-Base: A Community Resource Enabling Adoption and Development of Immunofluoresence Imaging Methods.

The iterative bleaching extends multiplexity (IBEX) Knowledge-Base is a central portal for researchers adopting IBEX and related 2D and 3D immunofluorescence imaging methods. The design of the Knowledge-Base is modeled after efforts in the open-source software community and includes three facets: a development platform (GitHub), static website, and service for data archiving. The Knowledge-Base facilitates the practice of open science throughout the research life cycle by providing validation data for recommended and non-recommended reagents, e.

Utility of digital images captured after 4 h of incubation on a microbiology laboratory automation system in guiding the work-up of subcultures from positive blood cultures.

Unlabelled: Initial workup [e.g., identification (ID) and/or antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST)] of bacterial growth on solid media traditionally occurs 16-24 h after sub-culturing of positive blood cultures (BC).

Animal health and welfare as a public good: what do the public think?

This paper presents a novel perspective on an evolving policy area. The UK's withdrawal from the EU has led to the creation of a new Agriculture Act and proposals for significant changes to the way farming subsidies are structured in England. Underpinned by a 'public money for public goods' approach, where public goods are those outputs from the farm system which are not rewarded by markets, yet which provide benefits to many members of society.

State Leadership Academies to reduce cigarette smoking among people with behavioral health conditions in the United States.

Objective: Smoking is concentrated in behavioral health populations in the United States, calling for efforts to increase access to cessation services.

Methods: Between 2010 and 2023, the Smoking Cessation Leadership Center (SCLC) implemented state Leadership Academies-a facilitated summit of public health leaders and community champions charged with developing an action plan to address smoking in their state. Using a multi-methods approach, we evaluated state Leadership Academies using the RE-AIM framework.

Development of a novel test of splenic function for use in a clinical diagnostic laboratory.

The spleen is prone to both physical damage and functional impairment, which can be difficult to detect before catastrophic complications occur. Currently available tests of splenic function are laborious, user-dependent and unreliable, so there is an unmet need for a reliable test offered routinely in diagnostic laboratories. In this study, we have assessed a simple flow cytometry-based method measuring high mannose glycans (HMGs) on erythrocytes, which has previously been proposed as a potential test of splenic function.
