Serotype-specific surveillance for invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is essential for assessing the impact of 10- and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV10/13). The Pneumococcal Serotype Replacement and Distribution Estimation (PSERENADE) project aimed to evaluate the global evidence to estimate the impact of PCV10/13 by age, product, schedule, and syndrome. Here we systematically characterize and summarize the global landscape of routine serotype-specific IPD surveillance in PCV10/13-using countries and describe the subset that are included in PSERENADE. Of 138 countries using PCV10/13 as of 2018, we identified 109 with IPD surveillance systems, 76 of which met PSERENADE data collection eligibility criteria. PSERENADE received data from most (n = 63, 82.9%), yielding 240,639 post-PCV10/13 introduction IPD cases. Pediatric and adult surveillance was represented from all geographic regions but was limited from lower income and high-burden countries. In PSERENADE, 18 sites evaluated PCV10, 42 PCV13, and 17 both; 17 sites used a 3 + 0 schedule, 38 used 2 + 1, 13 used 3 + 1, and 9 used mixed schedules. With such a sizeable and generally representative dataset, PSERENADE will be able to conduct robust analyses to estimate PCV impact and inform policy at national and global levels regarding adult immunization, schedule, and product choice, including for higher valency PCVs on the horizon.

Unlabelled: The rising atmospheric concentration of CO is a major concern to society due to its global warming potential. In soils, CO-fixing microorganisms are preventing some of the CO from entering the atmosphere. Yet, the controls of dark CO fixation are rarely studied .

Cryptorchidism is the most frequent congenital defect in newborn males characterized by the absence of the testis from the scrotum. Approximately 90% of patients with untreated bilateral cryptorchidism exhibit azoospermia due to defective spermatogenesis in the affected testis. While abnormal spermatogonial stem cell maintenance or differentiation is suggested to cause germ cell degeneration in the cryptorchid testis, underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.

Urbanization is transforming landscapes globally, altering environmental conditions that affect ecosystem functioning, particularly in urban areas where trees are crucial for regulating microclimates, improving air quality, and sustaining biodiversity. This study investigates the environmental differences and tree leaf structure and morphology in urban and suburban sites in the Chicago Metropolitan Region. The leaf functional traits of Norway Maple and Little - leaved Linden were studied in three locations in the summer of 2023: an urban park (University of Illinois Chicago, Chicago, IL), a suburban park (Morton Arboretum, Lisle, IL), and a suburban residential site (Lombard, IL).

Breast cancer continues to be a significant global health challenge due to its heterogeneity and propensity for therapeutic resistance. The current tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) staging and molecular classification systems are limited in capturing the full biological complexity of breast cancer. Myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88), a key adaptor protein in inflammatory signaling pathways, has been implicated in various oncogenic processes.
