As the mobile cassette carrier of the methicillin resistance gene that is transported across staphylococci species, the evolution and origin of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome (SCC)-and in particular, the composition of and SCC-have been extensively discussed in the scientific literature; however, information regarding its dissemination across geographical limits and evolution over decades remains limited. In addition, whole-genome sequencing-based macro-analysis was unable to provide sufficiently detailed evolutionary information on SCC. Herein, the cassette chromosome recombinase genes , as essential components of SCC, were employed to explore the evolution of SCC.

Background: The NHS App launched in 2019 as the 'digital front door' to the National Health Service in England with core features including General Practitioner (GP) appointment booking, repeat prescriptions, patient access to records and, later on, COVID-19 vaccination certification. Similar patient portals have been adopted in different formats and with variable levels of success. In this longitudinal study (2021-2023) we examined how the NHS App became implemented in the pandemic context and beyond.

Long-read sequencing has emerged as a transformative technology in recent years, offering significant potential for the molecular diagnosis of unresolved genetic disorders. Despite its promise, the comprehensive detection and clinical annotation of genomic variants remain intricate and technically demanding. We present SUMMER, an integrated and structured workflow specifically designed to process raw Nanopore sequencing reads.

Background: Transport by mobile stroke units (MSUs), which provide access to computed tomography scanning and intravenous blood pressure medications and thrombolytics, reduces time to treatment and may improve short-term functional outcomes for patients with acute stroke. The longer-term clinical and financial impacts remain incompletely understood. The aim of the study was to determine whether MSU care is associated with better health, utilization, and spending outcomes for patients with suspected acute stroke.

Human Pose Estimation (HPE) is a computer vision application that utilizes deep learning techniques to precisely locate Key Joint Points (KJPs), enabling the accurate description of a person's pose. HPE models can be extended to facilitate Range of Motion (ROM) assessment by leveraging patient photographs. This study aims to evaluate and compare the performance of HPE models for assessing upper limbs ROM.
