Single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry approaches have been instrumental in understanding cellular states within various tissues and organs. However, tissue dissociation methods can potentially alter results and create bias due to preferential recovery of particular cell types. Here we present efforts to optimize methods for dissociation of murine oral mucosal tissues and provide three different protocols that can be utilized to isolate major cell populations in the oral mucosa. These methods can be used both in health and in states of inflammation, such as periodontitis...

INTRODUCTION: Restraint use in the emergency department (ED) can pose significant risks to patients and health care workers. We evaluate the effectiveness of Code De-escalation- a standardized, team-based approach for management and assessment of threatening behaviors- in reducing physical restraint use and workplace violence in a community ED. METHODS: A retrospective observational study of a pathway on physical restraint use among patients placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold in a community ED...

IMPORTANCE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and potential MRI-guided biopsy enable enhanced identification of clinically significant prostate cancer. Despite proven efficacy, MRI and potential MRI-guided biopsy remain costly, and there is limited evidence regarding the cost-effectiveness of this approach in general and for different prostate-specific antigen (PSA) strata. OBJECTIVE: To examine the cost-effectiveness of integrating annual MRI and potential MRI-guided biopsy as part of clinical decision-making for men after being screened for prostate cancer compared with standard biopsy...

BACKGROUND: Guidelines recommend high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) for diagnosis of myocardial infarction. Use of hs-cTn is increasing across the U.S., but questions remain regarding clinical and operational impact. Prior studies have had methodologic limitations and yielded conflicting results. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of transitioning from conventional cardiac troponin (cTn) to hs-cTn on test and resource utilization, operational efficiency, and patient safety...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an ergonomic dentist stool design on muscle activity and fatigue in dentists. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fourteen dentists were recruited, and electrodes were attached to the arm, neck, and shoulder muscles of these dentists according to the Surface ElectroMyoGraphy for the Non-Invasive Assessment of Muscles protocol. After measuring the maximal voluntary contraction, eight-channel surface electromyography was performed during simulations of two dental procedures (intraoral scanning and tooth preparation) while the dentists were using two types of dentist stools...

Human cortex transcriptomic studies have revealed a hierarchical organization of γ-aminobutyric acid-producing (GABAergic) neurons from subclasses to a high diversity of more granular types. Rapid GABAergic neuron viral genetic labeling plus Patch-seq (patch-clamp electrophysiology plus single-cell RNA sequencing) sampling in human brain slices was used to reliably target and analyze GABAergic neuron subclasses and individual transcriptomic types. This characterization elucidated transitions between PVALB and SST subclasses, revealed morphological heterogeneity within an abundant transcriptomic type, identified multiple spatially distinct types of the primate-specialized double bouquet cells (DBCs), and shed light on cellular differences between homologous mouse and human neocortical GABAergic neuron types...

Neocortical layer 1 (L1) is a site of convergence between pyramidal-neuron dendrites and feedback axons where local inhibitory signaling can profoundly shape cortical processing. Evolutionary expansion of human neocortex is marked by distinctive pyramidal neurons with extensive L1 branching, but whether L1 interneurons are similarly diverse is underexplored. Using Patch-seq recordings from human neurosurgical tissue, we identified four transcriptomic subclasses with mouse L1 homologs, along with distinct subtypes and types unmatched in mouse L1...

Construction sites remain highly perilous work environments globally, exposing employees to numerous hazards that can result in severe injuries or fatalities. To resolve this several solutions based on quantitative approaches have been developed. However the wide adoption of preexisting solutions is hindered by lack of accuracy. To this aim the development of an efficient fuzzy inference system has become a de-facto necessity. In this paper, we propose an edge inference framework based on multi-layered fuzzy logic for safety of construction workers...

Iatrogenic urinary tract injury (IUTI) is a severe complication of emergency digestive surgery. It can lead to increased postoperative morbidity and mortality and have a long-term impact on the quality of life. The reported incidence of IUTIs varies greatly among the studies, ranging from 0.3 to 1.5%. Given the high volume of emergency digestive surgery performed worldwide, there is a need for well-defined and effective strategies to prevent and manage IUTIs. Currently, there is a lack of consensus regarding the prevention, detection, and management of IUTIs in the emergency setting...

Targeted immune agonist (TIA) comprising a TLR7 agonist conjugated to tumor-targeting antibodies have been shown to induce potent anti-tumor responses in various preclinical models. However, the clinical proof-of-concept of a TIA has been hampered by systemic dose-limiting immune-related toxicities, including rapid induction of anti-drug antibodies in patients. We have developed ELISPOT-based assay to measure activation of antibody-secreting cells (ASCs), intended to simulate the interaction between TIA and peripheral B cells as a tool to pre-clinically de-risk tumor target-independent peripheral B-cell activation by TIA...

A subset of patients with myocarditis present with cardiogenic shock. There is a lack of contemporary data assessing the use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in these patients. Myocarditis hospitalizations were analyzed using the National Inpatient Sample between 2016 and 2019. Characteristics of patients with and without cardiogenic shock were assessed. Trends in mortality, MCS, right-sided cardiac catheterization (RHC) and endomyocardial biopsy were evaluated. The impact of RHC on consequent MCS and mortality was studied...

Transplantation of organs, cells, or tissues from one species to another, known as xenotransplantation, has the potential to alleviate organ donor shortages and enhance the success of organ transplantation. However, the possibility of immunological rejection by the recipient is one of the biggest difficulties associated with xenotransplantation. The creation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), also known as NETosis, is hypothesized as a mechanism of rejection. Innovations in microfluidics and co-culturing techniques have provided access to several classes of microengineered model systems in experimental models, connecting animal research and traditional in vitro methods such as organoids, microphysiological systems, and organs-on-chip...

Inflammation can trigger lasting phenotypes in immune and non-immune cells. Whether and how human infections and associated inflammation can form innate immune memory in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) has remained unclear. We found that circulating HSPC, enriched from peripheral blood, captured the diversity of bone marrow HSPC, enabling investigation of their epigenomic reprogramming following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Alterations in innate immune phenotypes and epigenetic programs of HSPC persisted for months to 1 year following severe COVID-19 and were associated with distinct transcription factor (TF) activities, altered regulation of inflammatory programs, and durable increases in myelopoiesis...

The discovery of small-molecule inhibitors requires suitable binding pockets on protein surfaces. Proteins that lack this feature are considered undruggable and require innovative strategies for therapeutic targeting. KRAS is the most frequently activated oncogene in cancer, and the active state of mutant KRAS is such a recalcitrant target. We designed a natural product-inspired small molecule that remodels the surface of cyclophilin A (CYPA) to create a neomorphic interface with high affinity and selectivity for the active state of KRASG12C (in which glycine-12 is mutated to cysteine)...

There is increasing interest in the African spiny mouse (Acomys cahirinus) as a model organism because of its ability for regeneration of tissue after injury in skin, muscle, and internal organs such as the kidneys.
