Objectives: Evaluation of the safety and humoral immunogenicity of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 as a fourth dose booster in individuals who have had two initial doses of the vaccine and a third dose of BNT162b2.

Methods: COV009 is a safety follow-up study of volunteers enrolled in the pivotal pre-licensure ChAdOx1 nCoV-19. In this sub-study 149 eligible participants were given a fourth dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19.

Background: Retinol isotope dilution (RID) equations are used to predict vitamin A total body stores (TBS). Including population-based ("super-subject") modeling with RID provides group-specific values for the equation coefficients.

Objectives: Objective was to test an approach that would accommodate a limited super-subject sample size without compromising accuracy in RID predictions of TBS.

Article Synopsis
  • Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS) for adolescents has been made more accessible due to recent policy changes, but challenges remain, particularly for diverse populations.
  • A study from 2017-2022 revealed that about 15%-20% of MBS cases in the U.S. involved adolescents, predominantly females and white patients with an average age of 16.1 years.
  • Despite a decline in cases during COVID-19, the volume rebounded, with an increase in sleeve gastrectomy and robotic-assisted surgeries, while overall complication rates remained low at 2.9%.

: CSCs are critical drivers of the tumor and stem cell phenotypes of glioblastoma (GBM) cells. Chromatin modifications play a fundamental role in driving a GBM CSC phenotype. The goal of this study is to further our understanding of how stem cell-driving events control changes in chromatin architecture that contribute to the tumor-propagating phenotype of GBM.

Human-driven habitat loss is recognized as the greatest cause of the biodiversity crisis, yet to date we lack robust, spatially explicit metrics quantifying the impacts of anthropogenic changes in habitat extent on species' extinctions. Existing metrics either fail to consider species identity or focus solely on recent habitat losses. The persistence score approach developed by Durán .
