Human recombination-activating gene (RAG) deficiency can manifest with distinct clinical and immunological phenotypes. By applying a multiomics approach to a large group of -mutated patients, we aimed at characterizing the immunopathology associated with each phenotype. Although defective T and B cell development is common to all phenotypes, patients with hypomorphic variants can generate T and B cells with signatures of immune dysregulation and produce autoantibodies to a broad range of self-antigens, including type I interferons.

In this study, we investigate the performance of computer vision AI algorithms in predicting patient disposition from the emergency department (ED) using short video clips. Clinicians often use "eye-balling" or clinical gestalt to aid in triage, based on brief observations. We hypothesize that AI can similarly use patient appearance for disposition prediction.

Background: X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA), caused by mutations in BTK, is characterised by low or absent peripheral CD19 + B lymphocytes and agammaglobulinaemia. The mainstay of treatment consists of immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IgRT). As this cannot fully compensate for the immune defects in XLA, patients may therefore continue to be at risk of complications.

Article Synopsis
  • Water activation is essential for reducing CO into valuable products, but enhancing this process has been challenging.
  • Researchers engineered copper surfaces with nitrogen-hydrogen-rich molecules to improve the electrocatalytic conversion of CO into ethene and ethanol, achieving a notable 30% increase in efficiency.
  • The study highlights how modifying CuO nanocubes with these molecules significantly boosts the formation of desired C products, demonstrating a promising strategy for improving electrocatalytic performance and stability.
