The techno-politics of computing the mind: Opening the black box of digital psychiatry.

Psychiatry has recently witnessed the launch of digital phenotyping as a new research agenda. According to digital phenotyping's hypothesis, data about a patient's daily behavior can be continuously collected through wearable monitoring devices and used to build software that would send warnings of mental relapse or would tailor treatment choices. The research is exploratory, and the claims upon which it is based are contentious.

A retrospective study of Monteggia fractures in 8 dogs and 1 cat.

Monteggia fractures (MFs) are proximal ulnar fractures with concurrent dislocation of the radial head. This retrospective study aims to report the clinical findings and discuss the treatments and outcomes in MFs cases of 9 cases. Previous medical records of the animals were reviewed for history, clinical features, radiographic findings and choice of treatment.

Comparison of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells therapeutic potentials in rabbits' cartilage defects: Μacroscopic and histological outcomes.

Mesenchymal stem cells are safe and effective for treating joint injuries. However, the most suitable cell source remains controversial. This randomized controlled, double-blind study aimed to evaluate the potentials of rabbit allogeneic bone marrow- (BMSCs), adipose- (ASCs) and synovial membrane- (SDSCs) derived stem cells encapsulated in fibrin glue (FG) in vivo.

From lab to mass production: a policy for enabling the licensing of mRNA vaccines.

Using the South African vaccine technology transfer hub supported by the WHO as an example, we show that the know-how needed to move mRNA vaccines from prototype to mass-production acts as an invisible barrier to market entry of mRNA vaccines. Overcoming this barrier relies on scarce human capital. In view of this scarcity and in preparation for the next pandemic, we propose broadening the scope of an existing WHO program, the WHO Academy, so that it coordinates knowledge diffusion initiatives by forming a systematized repository of know-how and a register of experts.
