MyArthritisRx.com (MARx) is an online digital platform with resources to effectively manage osteoarthritis and directs patients to the appropriate information and tools to manage their disease. The key to self-management is a self-evaluation and staging program powered by an algorithm based on 150,000 arthritis patients. Outcome data (PROMs), comorbidities, demographics, and personalized characteristics are used to provide a personalized self-evaluation and staging assessment which characterizes disease severity and risk of progression. The initial 6-week program was completed by 100 pilot patients with 92% reporting some improvement. MARx offers evidence of efficacy with promise of cost savings and improved arthritis care.

Imaging-based spatial transcriptomics (ST) is evolving rapidly as a pivotal technology in studying the biology of tumors and their associated microenvironments. However, the strengths of the commercially available ST platforms in studying spatial biology have not been systematically evaluated using rigorously controlled experiments. In this study, we used serial 5-m sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma and pleural mesothelioma tumor samples in tissue microarrays to compare the performance of the single cell ST platforms CosMx, MERFISH, and Xenium (uni/multi-modal) platforms in reference to bulk RNA sequencing, multiplex immunofluorescence, GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler, and hematoxylin and eosin staining data for the same samples.
