BEI Resources, a National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases-funded program managed by the American Type Culture Collection, serves researchers worldwide through the provision of a centralized repository for the acquisition, production, characterization, preservation, storage, and distribution of standardized biological resources targeting National Institutes of Health priority pathogens including bacteria, viruses, pathogenic fungi, and parasitic protozoa. These reference materials are critical for the development of diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics and are available to qualified registered investigators and institutions worldwide. Bioresources within BEI include well-characterized malaria isolates as part of the Malaria Research and Reference Reagent Resource Center (MR4). These isolates are critical for screening antimalarial compounds, conducting drug resistance studies, and for resistance surveillance and management. In our efforts to enhance the characterization of MR4 isolates, we measured antimalarial susceptibility of >100 isolates against a panel of standard antimalarial compounds. Our results provide valuable information to assist current and prospective users of the BEI Resources repository in making data-driven requests of isolates to meet their research needs.

The digitalization in healthcare facilitates continuous monitoring of relevant medical parameters through internal and external sensors. For patients with heart failure and cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), telemedicine has the potential to improve patient care and reduce use of healthcare resources. Remote monitoring shortens the response time to a clinical event, reduces inappropriate shocks, and increases patient satisfaction.

Background: The electronic cognitive aid for emergencies in anesthesia (eGENA) is an app that offers digital support in anesthesiological emergency situations as a cognitive aid tool via checklists for memory and making decisions. The eGENA was published by the German Society of Anesthesiology and has been implemented in the emergency management of the anesthesiological team of the clinic in Potsdam, Germany.

Objective: The primary endpoint was to observe the influence of eGENA on the anesthesiological emergency management on the subjective feeling of assurance as well as on quality of treatment and, therefore, patient safety.

Center for Health Services Research, Faculty of Health Sciences Brandenburg, Brandenburg Medical School Theodor Fontane, Rüdersdorf bei Berlin, Germany.

Background: In recent years, health care has undergone a rapid and unprecedented digital transformation. In many fields of specialty care, such as rheumatology, this shift is driven by the growing number of patients and limited resources, leading to increased use of digital health technologies (DHTs) to maintain high-quality clinical care. Previous studies examined user acceptance of individual DHTs in rheumatology, such as telemedicine, video consultations, and mHealth.

Intelligent decisions in response to external informative input can allow organisms to achieve their biological goals while spending very little of their own resources. In this paper, we develop and study a minimal model for a navigational task, performed by an otherwise completely motorless particle that possesses the ability of hitchhiking in a bath of active Brownian particles (ABPs). Hitchhiking refers to identifying and attaching to suitable surrounding bath particles.
