Group practices enter into a satellite program for many different reasons, the most frequent probably being an effort to expand their referral base. But establishing a successful satellite system is always difficult; either the satellite service area overlaps and intrudes into someone else's "territory" or the area in which the satellite is located has no other pre-existing medical support services of any kind, in which case a group's attempt to "fill the void" often feels like stepping into it. This latter case could have been the fate for the Tarboro Clinic had we not been fortunate enough to become involved in a unique partnership alliance to bring quality health care services to eastern North Carolina.

Climate change has become an emerging topic, leading to widespread damage. However, when considering climate, attention is drawn to various scales, and urban microclimate has emerged as a trending subject due to its direct relevance to human living environments. Among the microclimatic factors, temperature and precipitation are utilized in order to identify trends.

Detecting β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) with high sensitivity and selectivity is an urgent requirement due to nearly 80% of milk anaphylaxis, such as respiratory tract, skin urticaria, and gastrointestinal disorders, being caused by β-Lg. An ultrasensitive β-Lg electrochemical aptasensor utilizing core-satellite gold nanoparticle@silver nanocluster (AuNPs@AgNCs) nanohybrids as electrocatalysts was developed. First, β-Lg aptamer was anchored on gold electrodes and AuNPs to obtain high selectivity.

In a study of influenza A pneumonia in mice, young mice fully recovered from sarcopenia, while older mice did not. We identified a population of tissue-resident skeletal muscle macrophages that form a spatial niche with satellite cells and myofibers in young mice but are lost with age.

More simple and cost-effective tools are urgently needed to optimize early Chagas disease diagnosis in low-income endemic regions.

Background: Stigma against persons living with substance use disorders (PLSUD) fosters social and health inequities.
Aim: We aimed to map different populations targeted by antistigma interventions, analyze specific characteristics of these interventions, and identify and categorize the theoretical frameworks used in these interventions.
Methods: We examined randomized controlled trials and quasi or pre-experimental studies targeting stigma against PLSUD.
