Article Synopsis
- The intestine functions to absorb nutrients and water while maintaining tolerance to external environments, but its cellular and transcriptional dynamics are not fully understood.
- Researchers created a detailed resource that maps the spatial and cellular structure of the mouse intestine in both healthy and stressed conditions.
- The study revealed that the intestinal landscape is robust to microbiota influences and can adapt to inflammation through complex interactions between immune responses and structural cells.

We examined the associations of perceived capacity to tolerate uncomfortable physical sensations (discomfort intolerance and discomfort avoidance) and cannabis and alcohol use among persons with chronic pain receiving prescription buprenorphine for OUD.
Methods: This study utilizes baseline data from 163 persons with chronic pain receiving prescription buprenorphine for OUD enrolled in the Treating Opioid use, Persistent Pain, and Sadness (TOPPS) intervention trial.
This study examines the characteristics of patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA), the utilization of imaging in GCA diagnosis, and variations in GCA management among specialties. Subjects were identified from the Dallas VAMC database spanning 2010 to 2021 using ICD-9/10 codes for GCA and polymyalgia rheumatica, and a list of temporal artery biopsies (TAB). Patients lacking sufficient data to meet the ACR 1990 classification criteria for GCA were excluded.
