Article Abstract
Dr. Ben-Tzion (Bentzi) Karsh was a mentor, collaborator, colleague, and friend who profoundly impacted the fields of human factors and ergonomics (HFE), medical informatics, patient safety, and primary care, among others. In this paper we honor his contributions by reflecting on his scholarship, impact, and legacy in three ways: first, through an updated simplified bibliometric analysis in 2020, highlighting the breadth of his scholarly impact from the perspective of the number and types of communities and collaborators with which and whom he engaged; second, through targeted reflections on the history and impact of Dr. Karsh's most cited works, commenting on the particular ways they impacted our academic community; and lastly, through quotes from collaborators and mentees, illustrating Dr. Karsh's long-lasting impact on his contemporaries and students.

Toronto 3D Knowledge Synthesis and Clinical Trials Unit, Clinical Nutrition and Risk Factor Modification Center, St. Michael's Hospital, Unity Health Toronto, Toronto, ON M5B 1W8, Canada.
Background: Use of health applications (apps) to support healthy lifestyles has intensified. Different app features may support effectiveness, including gamification defined as the use of game elements in a non-game situation. Whether health apps with gamification can impact behaviour change and cardiometabolic risk factors remains unknown.

Public Health Sciences Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, Seattle, WA, United States.
Background: Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-high) tumors comprise ~15% of sporadic colorectal cancers (CRC) and are associated with elevated T cell infiltration. However, the universality of this response across T cell subtypes with distinct functions is unknown.
Methods: Including 1,236 CRC tumors from three observational studies, we conducted T cell profiling using a customized 9-plex (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD45RA, CD45RO, FOXP3, KRT, MKI67, and DAPI) multispectral immunofluorescence assay.

Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Background: The neonatal mortality rate in Papua Province of Indonesia is unacceptably high. To address the issue, the Ministry of Health and UNICEF Indonesia initiated a hospital mentoring programme from 2014 to 2016 to improve the quality of care and health workers' capacity to provide neonatal care. This study aimed to assess the impact of hospital mentoring on neonatal mortality.

Laboratory of Experimental Neuroregeneration, Spinal Cord Injury Center, Heidelberg University Hospital, 69118, Heidelberg, Germany.
Biomaterial scaffold engineering presents great potential in promoting axonal regrowth after spinal cord injury (SCI), yet persistent challenges remain, including the surrounding host foreign body reaction and improper host-implant integration. Recent advances in mechanobiology spark interest in optimizing the mechanical properties of biomaterial scaffolds to alleviate the foreign body reaction and facilitate seamless integration. The impact of scaffold stiffness on injured spinal cords has not been thoroughly investigated.
