Article Synopsis
- Severe COVID-19 patients frequently experience coinfections with bacterial and fungal pathogens, leading to higher mortality rates compared to infections with just one pathogen.
- A study investigated blood and respiratory samples from hospitalized patients to analyze the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and coinfections, finding no specific lineage associated with COVID-19 but noting trends in the virulence of bloodstream strains.
- Research using a mouse model demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 infection increases susceptibility to subsequent infections with low-cytotoxicity pathogens, highlighting the enhanced risk of severe outcomes from these coinfections.
Aim: To analyze trends in Utah melanoma diagnosis and study the impact of rurality.
Patients & Methods: State-wide melanoma incidence was calculated using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results data (2005-2013). A subset of 5199 patients treated in an integrated healthcare system was further stratified for urban or rural residence.
Surgical management of external ear melanoma presents unique technical challenges based on the unique anatomy and reconstruction concerns. Surgical technique, including preservation of cartilage, is variable and impact on recurrence is unclear. Our goal was to investigate surgical approach, including extent of surgical resection and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), and the impact on recurrence.

To adapt to these different environments, relies on a complex and finely tuned regulatory network. While some of these networks have been well-elucidated, the functions of more than 50% of the transcriptional regulators in remain unexplored.
