This case report has the scope to review the etiology and pathophysiology of pneumomediastinum in severe blunt trauma, with a special interest to its more frequent origin: the Macklin effect. The Macklin effect is a pathophysiologic process characterized by the blunt traumatic alveolar ruptures, air dissection along bronchovascular sheaths, with the formation of blunt pulmonary interstitial emphysema, radiologic marker, until the formation of a pneumomediastinum. Its premature diagnostic acknowledgment is important in the managing of the blunt chest trauma.

Background: Machine learning (ML) is increasingly used in population and public health to support epidemiological studies, surveillance, and evaluation. Our objective was to conduct a scoping review to identify studies that use ML in population health, with a focus on its use in non-communicable diseases (NCDs). We also examine potential algorithmic biases in model design, training, and implementation, as well as efforts to mitigate these biases.

Unlabelled: enterica serotype Reading has recently been identified as a significant foodborne pathogen from contaminated poultry products. There is a critical need for close monitoring of this newly emerged pathogen. This study developed bioluminescent strains of Reading for real-time pathogen tracking using bioluminescence imaging.

The broiler breeder industry is facing a problem with fertility, hatchability, and the number of broiler breeder eggs produced per hen. The supplementation of trace minerals such as zinc, manganese, and copper in broiler breeder diets has been previously linked to an increase in eggshell quality, which may lead to increased fertility, hatchability, and chick quality. The objective of this study was to explore the effect of amino-acid complexed mineral supplementation on eggshell quality, fertility, hatchability, chick quality, and shell translucency.

Objective: This scoping review seeks to understand how kindness, compassion and empathy are defined and conceptualised within existing healthcare services literature.
Introduction: Little consensus exists on how healthcare literature defines and conceptualises kindness. Kindness is often conflated with the terms compassion and empathy, which both have more prominence in the literature.

Metastasis is the leading cause of death in patients with cancer, driving considerable scientific and clinical interest in immunosurveillance of micrometastases. We investigated this process by creating a multiscale mathematical model to study the interactions between the immune system and the progression of micrometastases in general epithelial tissue. We analyzed the parameter space of the model using high-throughput computing resources to generate over 100,000 virtual patient trajectories.
