Mpox: What have we learned and how do we better prepare for the future?

J Infect Dis

Published: January 2025

The global outbreak of clade IIb mpox in 2022-2023 changed our understanding of the epidemiology and prevention of mpox, simultaneously highlighting inequities in access to vaccines, diagnostics, and therapeutics. With the recent multinational spread of clade Ib mpox, it is important to revisit these lessons to improve future response. In September 2024, an international mpox symposium was held at Johns Hopkins University to discuss what we have learned and how to better prepare for the future. Here we highlight perspectives from that meeting and priorities for future mpox research.

scHNTL: single-cell RNA-seq data clustering augmented by high-order neighbors and triplet loss.

Bioinformatics

January 2025

School of Computing and Artificial Intelligence, Southwest Jiaotong University, Sichuan 611756, China.

Motivation: The rapid development of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has significantly advanced biomedical research. Clustering analysis, crucial for scRNA-seq data, faces challenges including data sparsity, high dimensionality, and variable gene expressions. Better low-dimensional embeddings for these complex data should maintain intrinsic information while making similar data close and dissimilar data distant.

Background: Recent studies have also shown that clinical monitoring of quality of life (HRQoL) helps to recognize kidney transplant failure at an early stage.

Objectives: Given the potential of improving HRQoL for the long-term outcomes of kidney transplantation, we conducted a rapid review of the last 5 years of quality of life evaluation after adult allogeneic kidney transplantation.

Materials And Methods: A rapid evidence analysis was carried out using a literature search in MEDLINE in the period 2019-2024.

Neurodiversity, encompassing conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and dyslexia, represents a significant and often under-recognized segment of the population, including within science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine fields like medicine. Neurodiverse individuals possess unique skills, including enhanced creativity, analytical thinking, and meticulous attention to detail, which are valuable in health care professions. However, failure to recognize and support these individuals can result in missed opportunities, social isolation, and mental health challenges.

Pitch perception in school-aged children: Pure tones, resolved and unresolved harmonics.

JASA Express Lett

January 2025

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98103, USA.

Pitch perception affects children's ability to perceive speech, appreciate music, and learn in noisy environments, such as their classrooms. Here, we investigated pitch perception for pure tones as well as resolved and unresolved complex tones with a fundamental frequency of 400 Hz in 8- to 11-year-old children and adults. Pitch perception in children was better for resolved relative to unresolved complex tones, consistent with adults.
