Background: The construct of social vulnerability attempts to understand social circumstances not merely as a descriptor, but as a predictor of adverse health events. It can be measured by aggregating social deficits in a social vulnerability index (SVI). We describe a standard procedure for constructing a multi-level SVI using two working examples.

Plaque-type psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease of uncertain etiology, significantly impacting patient well-being. This chronic condition not only contributes to stigmatization and mental health challenges but also poses an independent risk for cardiovascular and other comorbid diseases. Affecting approximately 60 million people globally, psoriasis manifests primarily as mild-to-moderate disease in about 80% of cases, where topical therapy is pivotal.

Background: Thoracic and lumbar spinal fractures are common in trauma care, requiring accurate classification to guide appropriate treatment. While traditional teaching methods use static 2D images, there is a growing need for interactive tools to improve understanding. This study addresses the lack of interactive three-dimensional (3D) models for teaching the AO (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen) Spine classification for thoracic and lumbar fractures.

The early branching eukaryote Naegleria gruberi can transform transiently from an amoeboid life form lacking centrioles and flagella to a flagellate life form where these elements are present, followed by reversion to the amoeboid state. The mechanisms imparting elimination of axonemes and centrioles during this reversion process are not known. Here, we uncover that flagella primarily fold onto the cell surface and fuse within milliseconds with the plasma membrane.
