Host-microbiome-dietary interactions play crucial roles in regulating human health, yet their direct functional assessment remains challenging. We adopted metagenome-informed metaproteomics (MIM), in mice and humans, to non-invasively explore species-level microbiome-host interactions during commensal and pathogen colonization, nutritional modification, and antibiotic-induced perturbation. Simultaneously, fecal MIM accurately characterized the nutritional exposure landscape in multiple clinical and dietary contexts.

Shamir Academic School of Nursing, Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel; Ministry of Health, Israel. Electronic address:

Background: Academic dishonesty poses significant challenges in educational settings, particularly among nursing students. Efforts to mitigate this issue through pedagogical and technological approaches have seen limited success. Diverse theoretical explanations for academic dishonesty underscore the need for further exploration of this multifaceted phenomenon.

Meanings of anti-sexual assault activism among adults who underwent child sexual abuse: "I survived by knowing that I was going to act".

Child Abuse Negl

January 2025

The Paul Baerwald School of Social Work and Social Welfare, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, The Haruv Institute, Israel. Electronic address:

Background: Despite the acknowledged importance of advocacy among individuals who experienced violence, there is limited scholarly exploration of how adult individuals who experienced child sexual abuse (CSA) perceive and engage in anti-sexual assault activism.

Objective: This study, conducted in Israel by the Israeli Public Inquiry on CSA, explores how adult activists, who are also CSA survivors, perceive anti-sexual assault activism, the meanings they attribute to their involvement, and how their childhood trauma connects to their activism.

Methods: The study employed semi-structured interviews with 14 individuals who experienced CSA, predominantly from the Jewish community.

The 2025 Motile Active Matter Roadmap.

J Phys Condens Matter

January 2025

Biozentrum, University of Basel, Spitalstrasse 41, Basel, Basel-Stadt, 4056, SWITZERLAND.

Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental aspects of many living and engineering systems. Here, the scale of biological agents covers a wide range, from nanomotors, cytoskeleton, and cells, to insects, fish, birds, and people. Inspired by biological active systems, various types of autonomous synthetic nano- and micromachines have been designed, which provide the basis for multifunctional, highly responsive, intelligent active materials.

Middle meningeal artery embolization for chronic subdural hematoma in the nonagenarian population.

Clin Neurol Neurosurg

January 2025

Division of Neurosurgery, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, 110 Francis St Suite 3B, Boston, MA 02215, USA.

Background: The estimated incidence of chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH) in the general population is projected to nearly double over the next decade, likely making it the most commonly treated cranial neurosurgical condition in adults by 2030. We investigated the outcomes of middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAe) as either a primary or adjunctive treatment for cSDH in nonagenarian patients.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients 90 years of age or older treated with middle meningeal artery embolization for cSDH from 2018 to 2024 at two academic institutions.

The First Autochthonous Case of Actinomycetoma in a Bedouin Patient in the Israeli Negev Region.

Am J Trop Med Hyg

January 2025

Department of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Hadassah Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel.

We report the first autochthonous case of actinomycetoma in a Bedouin patient from Israel's Negev Region. The patient presented with plantar and interdigital (web) nodular lesions. The time to diagnosis from the first medical contact was 4 years, and several treatment modifications were made until a satisfactory clinical response was achieved.

Use of Claims to Assess Outcomes and Treatment Effects in the Evolut Low Risk Trial.

Circ Cardiovasc Interv

January 2025

Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research in Cardiology, Division of Cardiology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA (C.L., A.T., Y.S., J.S., R.W.Y.).

Background: Food and Drug Administration-mandated postmarket studies for transcatheter aortic valve replacement in low-risk populations plan to use passively collected registry data linked to claims for long-term follow-up out to 10 years. Therefore, it is critically important to understand the validity of these claims-based end points. We sought to evaluate the ability of administrative claims with () codes to identify trial-adjudicated end points and reproduce treatment comparisons of aortic valve replacement in the Evolut Low Risk Trial.

Objective: To develop a generalizable and accurate method for automatically analyzing wound images captured in clinical practice and extracting key wound characteristics such as surface area measurement.

Methods: The authors used image processing techniques to create a robust algorithm for segmenting pressure injuries from digital images captured by nurses during clinical practice. The algorithm also measured the real-world wound surface area.
