Single-cell analysis of lung epithelial cells reveals age and cell population-specific responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection in ciliated cells.

Introduction: The ability of SARS-CoV-2 to evade antiviral immune signaling in the airway contributes to the severity of COVID-19 disease. Additionally, COVID-19 is influenced by age and has more severe presentations in older individuals. This raises questions about innate immune signaling as a function of lung development and age.

Comparisons of management approaches in neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome: The eat, sleep, console approach vs. the Finnegan approach.

Increased incidence of Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome has prompted innovation in assessment and management approaches. The Finnegan Approach and the Eat, Sleep, Console are the two most commonly described approaches, though they differ substantially. The goals of this review article are to describe and compare these approaches and published outcomes, including areas of uncertainty that may inform future directions.

Perspectives from federal and state public health departments on their participation in and the utility of Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae) and Ixodes pacificus tick and tick-borne pathogen surveillance in the United States.

In response to notable increases in tick-associated illnesses in the United States, recent public health policies encouraged multi-sector collaborative approaches to preventing vector-borne diseases. Primary prevention strategies focus on educating the public about risks for tick-borne diseases and encouraging adoption of personal protection strategies. Accurate descriptions of when and where people are at risk for tick-borne diseases aid in the optimization of prevention messaging.

The outcomes of robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting surgery in the Atlantic demographic-a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature.

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has significantly reduced the morbidity and mortality of patients suffering from ischemic heart disease over its six decades of practice. In recent years, minimally invasive techniques have been increasingly described and utilized, with the promise of providing patients with the same standard of care without the need for the traditional full sternotomy, and in select cases without cardiopulmonary bypass, and thus providing improved recovery metrics. The present systematic review and meta-analysis sought to determine the outcomes of all patients receiving robotic-assisted CABG in an Atlantic patient demographic.
