A significant number of patients are reported to not receive timely completion of their recommended follow-up intervention following the interpretation of their imaging studies, contributing to patient deaths resulting from inaccurate or delayed diagnosis. Though automated critical test notification systems and computerized communication mechanisms currently exist, many institutions are discovering that there continue to be gaps in the completion of follow-up recommendations. Herein, we describe how we developed and implemented a closed-loop program dedicated to identifying such gaps and ensuring patients were aware of and received appropriate follow-up.

Structural Dynamics of the Dengue Virus Non-structural 5 (NS5) Interactions with Promoter Stem Loop A (SLA).

The dengue virus (DENV) NS5 protein plays a central role in dengue viral RNA synthesis which makes it an attractive target for antiviral drug development. DENV NS5 is known to interact with the stem-loop A (SLA) promoter at the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) of the viral genome as a molecular recognition signature for the initiation of negative strand synthesis at the 3' end of the viral genome. However, the conformational dynamics involved in these interactions are yet to be fully elucidated.

Many approaches have been developed to generate such beams, but high-power output is not supported. Here, we report the coherent beam combining (CBC) for generating VVBs that are compatible with high-power fiber amplifiers.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the experiences of adolescents and young adults (ages 13-25) with chronic high glucose levels who switched from multiple daily injections (MDI) to advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) therapy.
- Researchers conducted semi-structured interviews with 14 participants after three months on the AHCL, identifying three key themes: improved glucose levels enhanced overall health perceptions, AHCL features supported self-management, and insulin delivery automation reduced care burden.
- The transition to AHCL therapy resulted in positive impacts on physical, mental, and social well-being, although some participants experienced transient pseudo-hypoglycaemia, highlighting the need for individualized support to facilitate uptake.
Structural and thermodynamic characterization of a highly amyloidogenic dimer of transthyretin involved in a severe cardiomyopathy.

Transthyretin (TTR) is an homotetrameric protein involved in the transport of thyroxine. More than 150 different mutations have been described in the TTR gene, several of them associated with familial amyloid cardiomyopathy. Recently, our group described a new variant of TTR in Brazil, namely A39D-TTR, which causes a severe cardiac condition.
