The authors have developed the optimal variant of the enzyme immunoassay system that contains plague murine monoclonal and equine polyclonal immunoglobulins and identified all plague microbe strains at a high sensitivity (3.84 m.cl/ml). The cross reactivity of monoclonal antibodies with some pseudotuberculosis agent strains does not prevent from using the developed test system for laboratory diagnosis of plague, particularly while isolating atypical (capsule- or plasmid-free) variants of Y. pestis, taking into account parallel special diagnostic tests for pseudotuberculosis.

Background: Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have changed the care processes in mental health, particularly in decision-making support for health care professionals and individuals with mental health problems. AI systems provide support in several domains of mental health, including early detection, diagnostics, treatment, and self-care. The use of AI systems in care flows faces several challenges in relation to decision-making support, stemming from technology, end-user, and organizational perspectives with the AI disruption of care processes.

Digital Mindfulness Training for Burnout Reduction in Physicians: Clinician-Driven Approach.

JMIR Form Res

January 2025

Brown University, Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences, Providence, RI, United States.

Background: Physician burnout is widespread in health care systems, with harmful consequences on physicians, patients, and health care organizations. Mindfulness training (MT) has proven effective in reducing burnout; however, its time-consuming requirements often pose challenges for physicians who are already struggling with their busy schedules.

Objective: This study aimed to design a short and pragmatic digital MT program with input from clinicians specifically to address burnout and to test its efficacy in physicians.

Background: Sepsis, a critical global health challenge, accounted for approximately 20% of worldwide deaths in 2017. Although the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score standardizes the diagnosis of organ dysfunction, early sepsis detection remains challenging due to its insidious symptoms. Current diagnostic methods, including clinical assessments and laboratory tests, frequently lack the speed and specificity needed for timely intervention, particularly in vulnerable populations such as older adults, intensive care unit (ICU) patients, and those with compromised immune systems.

Opportunities and Challenges of a Cap-and-Trade System for Plastics.

Environ Sci Technol

January 2025

Wageningen University and Research, Hydrology and Environmental Hydraulics Group, 6700 AA Wageningen, The Netherlands.

Recently, the rapid increase in global plastics production has caused various ecological and economic issues, worsened by poor material and waste management. Among the market-based instruments that could help mitigate the environmental impacts of plastics throughout their life-cycle, we evaluate the advantages and limitations of incorporating a cap-and-trade (CAT) system into future policy mixes. Our aim is to inspire further investigation of CAT's feasibility rather than presenting it as the ultimate solution.

Superconductor-Insulator Transition Induced by Precise Subtripled Vapor Chemical Gating.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Precision and Intelligent Chemistry, CAS Key Laboratory of Mechanical Behavior and Design of Materials, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui 230026, P. R. China.

Recent progress in superconductor-insulator transition has shed light on the intermediate metallic state with unique electronic inhomogeneity. The microscopic model, suggesting that carrier spatial distribution plays a decisive role in the intermediate state, has been instrumental in understanding the quantum transition. However, the narrow carrier density window in which the intermediate state exists necessitates precise control of the gate dielectric layer, presenting a challenge to in situ map the carrier spatial distribution.
