The nature of biological research is changing, driven by the emergence of big data, and new computational models to parse out the information therein. Traditional methods remain the core of biological research but are increasingly either augmented or sometimes replaced by emerging data science tools. This presents a profound opportunity for those circadian researchers interested in incorporating big data and related analyses into their plans.

Introduction: Alterations in multiple subregions of the human prefrontal cortex (PFC) have been heavily implicated in psychiatric diseases. Moreover, emerging evidence suggests that circadian rhythms in gene expression are present across the brain, including in the PFC, and that these rhythms are altered in disease. However, investigation into the potential circadian mechanisms underlying these diseases in animal models must contend with the fact that the human PFC is highly evolved and specialized relative to that of rodents.

Our qualitative study in Zambia explored the acceptability and preferences for designing TB active case finding (ACF) strategies to reach non-household contacts of people with TB.
Methods: We conducted 56 in-depth interviews with persons with TB ( = 12), TB healthcare workers (HCWs) ( = 10), TB lay HCWs ( = 10), and leaders/owners ( = 12) and attendees ( = 12) of community venue types identified as potential TB transmission locations.

Restoration of independent walking ability is the primary objective of stroke rehabilitation; however, not all patients achieve this goal due to diverse impairments in the paretic lower limb and compensatory mechanisms that lead to an asymmetrical and mechanically inefficient gait. This investigation aimed to examine alterations in cortical activation in post-stroke patients while walking with a wearable two-channel functional electrical stimulation (FES) in comparison to walking without FES. This observational study was conducted to discern distinct activation patterns in 19 stroke patients during sessions with and without FES, while using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to monitor changes in blood oxygen levels.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death worldwide, with a low survival rate of around 7% globally. Key factors for improving survival include witnessed arrest, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and early defibrillation. Despite guidelines advocating for the "chain of survival", bystander CPR and defibrillation rates remain suboptimal.
