Article Synopsis
- The black skimmer is a threatened seabird in Florida facing various conservation challenges, including habitat loss and severe weather, which were observed during nest monitoring between 2020 and 2022.
- Juvenile skimmers exhibited serious health issues like polyarthritis, often linked to penetrating sandspurs causing skin and joint infections, with many birds in poor nutritional state and dehydrated.
- Research findings indicate a connection between skin damage from sandspurs and subsequent joint infections, suggesting that additional evaluations and management practices are needed to improve the health of these birds.
Objective: Improving prognostication to direct personalised therapy remains an unmet need. This study prospectively investigated promising CT, genetic, and immunohistochemical markers to improve the prediction of colorectal cancer recurrence.
Material And Methods: This multicentre trial (ISRCTN 95037515) recruited patients with primary colorectal cancer undergoing CT staging from 13 hospitals.
Background: The digital transformation of medical data enables health systems to leverage real-world data from electronic health records to gain actionable insights for improving hypertension care.
Methods And Results: We performed a serial cross-sectional analysis of outpatients of a large regional health system from 2010 to 2021. Hypertension was defined by systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg, or recorded treatment with antihypertension medications.
Article Synopsis
- Virginia's COVID-19 study analyzed serology and risk factors among 784 adults and 62 children from December 2021 to July 2022 to understand natural infection rates and changes over time.
- The findings showed a seroprevalence of 30.6%, with higher infection rates among Black and Hispanic populations, uninsured individuals, and those with multiple children at home.
- The study also highlighted that boosted vaccinees had lower infection rates, and risky behaviors like frequenting indoor bars contributed to higher infection rates, especially in children compared to adults.
