Pediatric Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease Is Often Severe But Responsive to Siltuximab

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a potentially fatal immunologic disorder marked by widespread lymphadenopathy and inflammation. Siltuximab, an interleukin-6 (IL-6) inhibitor, is the only FDA-approved treatment for adult patients with iMCD. Limited...

"Even with AI, We Still Have to Work Harder": Black Women’s Use of Generative AI in the Workplace

As generative AI (GenAI) technologies become increasingly integrated into professional settings, it is critical to understand how these tools are experienced by individuals who are more likely to encounter harm, violence, and trauma in the workplace. Black women, in particular, c...

Systemic and Mucosal Antibody Responses Against Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng) Outer Membrane Vesicle Antigens following Four-Component Meningococcal Serogroup B (4CMenB) Immunization in Healthy Adults: A Randomized Phase II Trial

Meningococcal serogroup B (MenB) vaccines containing outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) may provide cross-protection against Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections but vaccine-induced mucosal immune responses remain poorly characterized. This phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-cont...

Postphenomenological Insights from an In-the-Wild Collective Sensing System Deployment for PTSD Therapy

Treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) have high clinical efficacy for a variety of mental health disorders. Their effectiveness, however, is often limited by low patient engagement with clinical homework. Novel technologies are accordingly being integrated into clini...

Reducing Ultraprocessed Foods From the Diets of Patients With Depression

This pilot crossover trial assesses the feasibility and acceptability of removing ultraprocessed foods from the diets of patients with major depressive disorder.

Exploratory data analysis of tonometry and PTT/PIR signals for cuffless blood pressure monitoring: dynamic responsiveness versus baseline stability

OBJECTIVE: Sensing modalities for cuffless blood pressure (BP) monitoring remain insufficiently characterized. To address this, we used exploratory data analysis (EDA) to evaluate multimodal physiological signals' associations with reference BP, to gain insight into their BP-rela...

An International Position Statement on Practical Approaches for Inpatient Continuous Glucose Monitoring, Insulin Pumps, and Automated Insulin Delivery Systems in Adults

There is an urgent and unmet need for a practical clinical guideline addressing the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pumps, and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems in hospital settings. The goal with this position statement is to facilitate effective and s...

Targeted tuberculosis vaccination strategies in the United States: A modeling study

Background Tuberculosis (TB) incidence in the United States has remained elevated above pre-pandemic levels since 2021, with over 85% of cases resulting from reactivation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ) infection. New vaccines that would prevent TB in adults are under devel...

Prevalence of Dietary Supplement Use and Potential Medication Interactions Among Adults with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the prevalence and correlates of dietary supplement use, identify commonly used supplements, and evaluate potential supplement-medication interactions among adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS: We analyzed cross-sectional data from 4...

Comparative genomics of Sympodiorosea identifies genome evolution mediated through selective pressure on the metabolic gene repertoire

Abstract Biological interactions involving host-associated fungi are driven by chemistry shaped over evolutionary time. For antagonistic fungi, specialization often involves acquiring genes for novel secretions—including proteins and specialized metabolites—that mediate nutrient...

Estimating Daily Taxon-Specific Tree Pollen at a 1-km Resolution in Atlanta, GA from 2020 to 2024

Abstract While tree pollen is a major trigger of respiratory allergies, the lack of high-resolution, taxon-specific exposure data has limited our ability to identify local taxa. Traditional pollen monitoring networks rely heavily on human efforts, thereby being limited to one sit...

Antibiotic resistance profile of Staphylococcus aureus in pediatric cases from rural Gambia

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant public health concern worldwide. Despite its impact, surveillance systems for detecting AMR in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) are often suboptimal. Using data from a population-based surveillance study of children aged < 5...

Multicenter dataset describing emotional intelligence and counseling self-efficacy among clinical pastoral education students in healthcare settings

Emotional intelligence (EI) and counseling self-efficacy (CSE) are widely regarded as core professional competencies for healthcare chaplains. However, evidence on whether Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) effectively develops these capacities remains limited. The parent study ge...

Health disparities learning in a Project-Based Quality Improvement Curriculum

Abstract Background Health disparities remain a persistent challenge in medicine, exacerbated by inequitable practices within healthcare systems and among professionals. Quality improvement (QI) methods are well-suited for discovering and addressing disparities, and many medical...

Myocardial Strain Evaluation from Cardiovascular MRI and CT: Physiological Principles and Clinical Perspectives

Abstract Global markers of myocardial function are limited in the information they provide, warranting the need for local markers that are sensitive and specific to myocardial physiology. Myocardial deformation, quantified by strain, is a robust marker of myocardial function that...

Sketch and paint: A structural–temporal aware refinement network for fine-grained crop mapping on satellite image time series

Crop type mapping based on Satellite Image Time Series (SITS) is a cornerstone of large-scale agricultural monitoring. However, existing methods often struggle in agricultural landscapes characterized by field fragmentation and crop phenological variability, where inter-class bou...
