Neutrophils are a part of the innate immune system and produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) to extinguish pathogens. The major source of ROS in neutrophils is NADPH oxidase, which is fueled by NADPH generated via the pentose phosphate pathway; however, it is unclear how other accessory glucose metabolism pathways and mitochondrial activity influence the respiratory burst. We examined the temporal dynamics of the respiratory burst and delineated how metabolism changes over time after neutrophil activation.

Background: Autistic individuals experience differences in sensory processing, communication and executive function, which may affect their experience of the workplace. We investigated UK-based autistic clinical veterinary surgeons' experiences to establish contributing factors to a good or difficult workday.
Methods: Purposive sampling was used to conduct semi-structured qualitative interviews with 15 autistic veterinary surgeons.
Article Synopsis
- Deep learning (DL) can recognize intricate patterns in data that humans might miss, but it often leads to misleading results due to its black-box nature and a problem known as algorithmic shortcutting.
- In a case study, simple convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were able to predict patient behaviors like avoiding refried beans or beer just by analyzing knee X-rays, showcasing the dangers of relying on shortcuts in data interpretation.
- The findings highlight that the models' predictions are influenced by confounding factors in the images that cannot be easily eliminated, indicating a need for stricter criteria when assessing research involving medical imaging.
