One barrier slowing clinical adoption is a lack of evidence demonstrating that data taken on one spectrometer transfers across to data taken on another spectrometer to provide consistent diagnoses.

Methods: We investigated multi-centre transferability using human oesophageal tissue.

Mutations in SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) have expanded the viral host range beyond primates, and a few other mammals, to mice, affording the opportunity to exploit genetically diverse mouse panels to model the broad spectrum of responses to infection in patient populations. Here we surveyed responses to VOC infection in genetically diverse Collaborative Cross (CC) founder strains. Infection of wild-derived CC founder strains produced a broad range of viral burden, disease susceptibility and survival, whereas most other strains were resistant to disease despite measurable lung viral titers.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the use and attitudes towards AI in mental health care among community members (CMs) and mental health professionals (MHPs) in Australia through two web-based surveys.
  • Findings reveal that while many CMs (28%) and MHPs (43%) utilize AI tools for support and research, there are mixed feelings about their effectiveness and potential risks.
  • Respondents see promise in AI for improving accessibility and efficiency in mental health services, but they also express concerns about privacy, ethics, and the potential loss of human connection in care.
