In recent decades, an enormous potential of fungal-based products with characteristics equal to, or even outperforming, classic petroleum-derived products has been acknowledged. The production of these new materials uses mycelium, a root-like structure of fungi consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like hyphae. Optimizing the production of mycelium-based materials and fungal growth under technical conditions needs to be further investigated.

Objectives: To develop and validate a claims-based algorithm to identify alopecia in women of childbearing age.
Methods: We linked electronic health records from a large healthcare system in Massachusetts (Mass General Brigham) with Medicaid claims data from 2016 through 2018 to identify all women aged 18 to 50 years with an ICD-10 code for alopecia, including alopecia areata, androgenic alopecia, non-scarring alopecia, or cicatricial alopecia, from a visit to the MGB system.
Article Synopsis
- A study examined the risk of serious infections in children with psoriasis who were treated with systemic medications like ustekinumab, etanercept, and methotrexate over a 6-month period.
- Researchers analyzed insurance claims data from over 2,300 children, comparing infection rates before and after pediatric drug approvals, and focusing on inpatient and outpatient infections.
- The findings showed varying incidence rates of serious infections for each medication: ustekinumab had 18.4 per 1000 person-years, etanercept had 25.6, and methotrexate had 14.9.
