Background: Existing biomarkers and models for predicting response to programmed cell death protein 1 monoclonal antibody in advanced squamous-cell non-small cell lung cancer (sqNSCLC) did not have enough accuracy. We used data from the ORIENT-3 study to construct artificial neural network (ANN) systems to predict the response to sintilimab for sqNSCLC.
Methods: Four ANN systems based on bulk RNA data to predict disease control (DC), immune DC (iDC), objective response (OR) and immune OR (iOR) were constructed and tested for patients with sqNSCLC treated with sintilimab. The mechanism exploration on the bulk and the spatial level were performed in patients from the ORIENT-3 study and the real world, respectively.
Findings: sqNSCLC patients with different responses to sintilimab showed each unique transcriptomic spectrum. Four ANN systems showed high accuracy in the test cohort (AUC of DC, iDC, OR and iOR were 0.83, 0.89, 0.93 and 0.94, respectively). The performance of ANN systems was better than that of linear model systems and showed high stability. The mechanism exploration on the bulk level suggested that patients with lower ANN system scores (worse response) had a higher ratio of immune-related pathways enrichment. The mechanism exploration on the spatial level indicated that patients with better response to immunotherapy had fewer clusters of both tumor and cytotoxicity T cell spots.
Interpretation: The four ANN systems showed high accuracy, robustness and stability in predicting the response to sintilimab for patients with sqNSCLC.

Background: Continuing data on racial bias in pulse oximeters and artificial intelligence has sparked calls for health systems to drive innovation against racial bias in healthcare device and artificial intelligence markets by incorporating equity concerns explicitly into purchasing decisions.
Research Question: How do healthcare purchasing professionals integrate equity concerns into purchasing decision-making?
Study Design And Methods: Between 8/2023-3/2024, we conducted semi-structured interviews via videoconferencing with healthcare purchasing professionals about purchasing processes for pulse oximeters and other devices-and whether and where equity concerns arise in decision-making. An abductive approach was used to analyze perspectives on how equity and disparity concerns are currently integrated into healthcare purchasing decision-making.

Intestinal stem cells replenish the epithelium throughout life by continuously generating intestinal epithelial cell types, including absorptive enterocytes, and secretory goblet, endocrine, and Paneth cells. This process is orchestrated by a symphony of niche factors required to maintain intestinal stem cells and to direct their proliferation and differentiation. Among the various mature intestinal epithelial cell types, Paneth cells are unique in their location in the stem cell zone, directly adjacent to intestinal stem cells.

Auditory-nerve fibers (ANFs) from a given cochlear region can vary in threshold sensitivity by up to 60 dB, corresponding to a 1000-fold difference in stimulus level, although each fiber innervates a single inner hair cell (IHC) via a single synapse. ANFs with high-thresholds also have low spontaneous rates (SRs) and synapse on the side of the IHC closer to the modiolus, whereas the low-threshold, high-SR fibers synapse on the side closer to the pillar cells. Prior biophysical work has identified modiolar-pillar differences in both pre- and post-synaptic properties, but a comprehensive explanation for the wide range of sensitivities remains elusive.

Objective: To define the epidemiology and clinical presentation of seropositive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) in a large US health system.
Methods: We completed a retrospective observational study of adult patients in the University of Colorado Health System from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2020, using Health Data Compass (HDC), a data warehouse that combines electronic health information with claims and public health data in Colorado. We screened HDC for patients with either (1) an abnormal aquaporin-4 IgG test or (2) any G36 ICD-10 code.
