Article Synopsis
- * Researchers studied the immune response in these bats by infecting them with a bat-derived influenza A virus (H18N11), discovering that the infection triggered immune activity and affected multiple types of immune cells.
- * The study found that human immune cells, particularly macrophages, could also be infected by H18N11, emphasizing the potential risks of zoonotic transmission from bats to humans.
Article Synopsis
- H9N2 influenza A viruses have become common in poultry in the Middle East and Asia, leading to an increase in human infections.
- A novel strain of H9N2 was found in Egyptian fruit bats, which shares genetic traits with current avian strains, indicating possible recent genetic mixing.
- Research shows that bat H9N2 can replicate and spread in ferrets, infect human lung tissue, and evade certain antiviral defenses, highlighting its potential risk as a pre-pandemic virus.
Objectives: To analyze the association between social determinants of health (SDOH), as measured by the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), and the severity of injury and types of domestic violence (DV) victimization among women (≥18 years of age) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Methods: Neighborhood ADI data from the American Community Survey (2014-2018) were merged with Milwaukee Police Department DV data (2013-2017). ADI included multiple SDOH domains (education, employment, income/poverty, and housing quality).

Introduction: This study compared the feasibility of six different CT-based measurement techniques for establishing an indication for derotational osteotomy in the cases of patellar instability or femoral fracture.
Materials And Methods: CT scans of 52 single human cadaver femora were measured using six different torsion measurement techniques (described by Waidelich, Murphy, and Yoshioka on transverse images and Hernandez, Jarrett, and Yoshioka on oblique images). All measurements were performed by four observers twice to assess intraobserver and interobserver agreement.
