() infection was diagnosed in 16 human-managed Asian elephants () at four different US facilities. A retrospective review was performed to collate information on serological test results and describe the timelines from exposure to an elephant known to be positive for , detection of antimycobacterial antibodies in the exposed elephant, and isolation from the exposed elephant to confirm diagnosis. Seroconversion was defined by a positive test result using ElephantTB STAT-PAK, multiantigen print immunoassay, or DPP VetTB assay for elephants (Chembio Diagnostic Systems, Inc).

- Percutaneous renal biopsy is used to diagnose kidney cancer, but it faces challenges in accurately sampling tissues.
- A new optical coherence tomography probe was developed to differentiate between tumor and normal tissues, improving biopsy guidance and accuracy.
- Convolutional neural networks were utilized to enhance tissue recognition, achieving 99.1% accuracy in identifying carcinoma and distinguishing oncocytoma, ultimately improving diagnosis during biopsy procedures.
In this study, we investigated if the therapeutic potential of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) therapy in a murine model of ischemic AKI is related with the survival pattern of monocyte/macrophages in tissue. CD-1 mice were subjected to bilateral renal ischemia followed by reperfusion to induce AKI. M2-polarized PBMCs isolated from CD-1 mice were administered intravenously at different time points post-injury.

- Creating intervention messages for smoking cessation traditionally requires significant effort, but large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT may provide an automated solution.
- The study explored how to improve LLMs to replicate expert writing and whether their outputs meet clinical standards through three distinct research studies.
- Findings indicate that larger LLMs can produce effective, credible, and persuasive cessation messages, suggesting they can support smoking cessation efforts in clinical settings.
