A program for real-time surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 genetics.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought forth an urgent need for widespread genomic surveillance for rapid detection and monitoring of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. It necessitated design, development, and deployment of a nationwide infrastructure designed for sequestration, consolidation, and characterization of patient samples that disseminates de-identified information to public authorities in tight turnaround times. Here, we describe our development of such an infrastructure, which sequenced 594,832 high coverage SARS-CoV-2 genomes from isolates we collected in the United States (U.

Clinical characterization of the mutational landscape of 24,639 real-world samples from patients with myeloid malignancies.

Myeloid neoplasms represent a broad spectrum of hematological disorders for which somatic mutation status in key driver genes is important for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Here we summarize the findings of a targeted, next generation sequencing laboratory developed test in 24,639 clinical myeloid samples. Data were analyzed comprehensively and as part of individual cohorts specific to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN).

Immunohistochemical Characterization of a Large Cohort of Triple Negative Breast Cancer.

Triple negative breast carcinomas are characterized by a lack of hormone receptor and HER2 expression and inconsistent expression of breast-specific immunohistochemical markers. The expression of many site-specific markers in these tumors is largely unknown. The objective of the study was to examine the expression of widely used immunohistochemical markers on a large cohort of triple negative breast cancer.

Emphasizing appeal over health promotes preference for nutritious foods in people of low socioeconomic status.

People of low socioeconomic status (SES) have disproportionately poorer dietary health despite efforts to improve access and highlight the health benefits of nutritious foods. While health-focused labels and advertisements make healthier options easier to recognize, they can prime a number of negative associations about healthy foods (e.g.

Mindset is associated with future physical activity and management strategies in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.

Background: Despite the benefits of physical activity for individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA), physical activity levels are low in this population.

Objectives: We conducted a repeated cross-sectional study to compare mindset about physical activity among individuals with and without KOA and to investigate whether mindset relates to physical activity.

Methods: Participants with (n = 150) and without (n = 152) KOA completed an online survey at enrollment (T1).
