The revised colorectal cancer screening guideline and screening burden at community health centers.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer among men and women combined, and the second leading cause of cancer death in the US. The revised USPSTF CRC screening recommendations increased CRC screening needs across health systems, which may create particular challenges for community health centers (CHCs) given their resource constraints. The objective of our study is to assess CRC screening rates across 10 CHCs in Massachusetts and estimate the additional increase in the number of average-risk screening-eligible individuals after the revision in guidelines.

Artificial intelligence after the bedside: co-design of AI-based clinical informatics workflows to routinely analyse patient-reported experience measures in hospitals.

Objective: To co-design artificial intelligence (AI)-based clinical informatics workflows to routinely analyse patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) in hospitals.

Methods: The context was public hospitals (n=114) and health services (n=16) in a large state in Australia serving a population of ~5 million. We conducted a participatory action research study with multidisciplinary healthcare professionals, managers, data analysts, consumer representatives and industry professionals (n=16) across three phases: (1) defining the problem, (2) current workflow and co-designing a future workflow and (3) developing proof-of-concept AI-based workflows.

The glycosyltransferase ST3GAL4 drives immune evasion in acute myeloid leukemia by synthesizing ligands for the glyco-immune checkpoint receptor Siglec-9.

Immunotherapy has demonstrated promise as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, there is still an urgent need to identify new molecules that inhibit the immune response to AML. Most prior research in this area has focused on protein-protein interaction interfaces.

Cryophysiology of coral microfragments: effects of chilling and cryoprotectant toxicity.

Coral reefs are being degraded at alarming rates and decisive intervention actions are urgently needed. One such intervention is coral cryopreservation. Although the cryopreservation of coral sperm and larvae has been achieved, preservation of coral fragments including both its tissue and skeleton, has not.
