Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the potential of MB-102, a new fluorophore, as an alternative to the traditional dual sugar absorption test for measuring gut permeability in patients with Crohn's disease and healthy adults.
- - Participants were randomly assigned to receive either MB-102 or a combination of lactulose and rhamnose, with urine collected over several hours to analyze recovery rates.
- - Results showed that MB-102's urinary recovery correlated strongly with lactulose recovery, indicating that it could serve as a reliable method for assessing gastrointestinal permeability.
Background: Since March 2020, COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted communities of color within the United States. As schools have shifted from virtual to in-person learning, continual guidance is necessary to understand appropriate interventions to prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Weekly testing of students and staff for SARS-CoV-2 within K-12 school setting could provide an additional barrier to school-based transmission, especially within schools unable to implement additional mitigation strategies and/or are in areas of high transmission.

Although mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccination provides protection in immunocompetent persons, immunogenicity in immunosuppressed patients with CID is unclear.
Objective: To determine the immunogenicity of mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in patients with CID.
Introduction: We describe videos posted to the YouTube video-sharing Web site by US state health departments (SHDs) and associated institutional factors.
Methods: YouTube channels from SHDs were identified, their data retrieved, and their videos saved to a playlist on January 10, 2016. Ten randomly sampled videos from each channel were manually coded for topics.
