Evaluation of Fecal Egg Count Tests for Effective Control of Equine Intestinal Strongyles.

The American Association of Equine Practitioners strongly advocates evidence-based intestinal strongyle control in horses. It recommends targeted treatment of all heavy egg shedders (>500 eggs per gram (EPG) of feces), while the low shedders (0-200 EPG) are left untreated. As 50-75% of adult horses in a herd are low shedders, preventing them from unnecessary anthelmintic exposure is critical for tackling resistance.

Performance of Valved Respirators to Reduce Emission of Respiratory Particles Generated by Speaking.

Wearing of face coverings serves two purposes: reducing the concentration of ambient particles inhaled and reducing the emission of respiratory particles generated by the wearer. The efficiency of different face coverings depends on the material, design, and fit. Face coverings such as N95 respirators, when worn properly, are highly efficient at filtering ambient particles during inhalation.

Integrating deep learning and unbiased automated high-content screening to identify complex disease signatures in human fibroblasts.

Drug discovery for diseases such as Parkinson's disease are impeded by the lack of screenable cellular phenotypes. We present an unbiased phenotypic profiling platform that combines automated cell culture, high-content imaging, Cell Painting, and deep learning. We applied this platform to primary fibroblasts from 91 Parkinson's disease patients and matched healthy controls, creating the largest publicly available Cell Painting image dataset to date at 48 terabytes.

Responsible sharing of biomedical data and biospecimens via the "Automatable Discovery and Access Matrix" (ADA-M).

Given the data-rich nature of modern biomedical research, there is a pressing need for a systematic, structured, computer-readable way to capture, communicate, and manage sharing rules that apply to biomedical resources. This is essential for responsible recording, versioning, communication, querying, and actioning of resource sharing plans. However, lack of a common "information model" for rules and conditions that govern the sharing of materials, methods, software, data, and knowledge creates a fundamental barrier.
