The goal of the protocol is to enable visualization of the detailed flow fields and determination of the near-boundary shear and normal stresses within an equilibrium scour hole induced by a vibrating pipeline.
Here we present a protocol, designed to use chemogenetic tools to manipulate the activity of cortical interneuron progenitors transplanted into the cortex of early postnatal mice.

Drawbridge Health, out of Menlo Park, California, won FDA clearance for its OneDraw A1C Test System, which consists of the OneDraw Blood Collection Device and the OneDraw A1C Test. Designed for use by clinicians, the disposable product is used to draw, collect, and stabilize blood to measure hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels to help manage glucose in patients with diabetes. Blood is drawn from the capillaries in the upper arm, which avoids the need to use hypodermic needles to access...
Wearable health monitors, ubiquitous sensors, and the ability to collect and store huge amounts of data are creating challenges for researchers hoping to use artificial intelligence to identify diseases. While the gathered data can hold important clinical answers, finding those answers means that the data must be categorized and labeled. Now, researchers at MIT have developed a system that can autonomously identify signs of a disease from data gathered from a relatively small group...
Lumendi, an English firm, won FDA clearance to introduce its DiLumen Ik endolumenal interventional knife. The single-use monopolar device is used for surgical dissections, performing cuts, and cauterizing of tissues of the gastrointestinal tract. To help perform many procedures that require a section to be elevated from the surrounding tissue, the same device can be used to administer submucosal fluid injections. The knife is designed to be compatible with the company’s latest...

Abstract Research that makes secondary use of administrative and clinical healthcare databases is increasingly influential for regulatory, reimbursement, and other healthcare decision-making. Consequently, there are numerous guidance documents on reporting for studies that use ‘real-world’ data captured in administrative claims and electronic health record (EHR) databases. These guidance documents are intended to improve transparency, reproducibility, and the ability to evaluate...

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 26 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41593-019-0468-2Zhou et al. report a novel 5-HT circuit from the dorsal raphe nucleus to somatostatin-expressing neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala that partially mediates depressive-like behavior in a mouse model of chronic pain.
Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 26 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41593-019-0461-9The authors leverage extensive RNA sequencing data from postmortem brains of controls and individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to identify altered patterns of allele specific gene expression.

Nature Immunology, Published online: 26 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41590-019-0471-5Protein transcription factor paralogs are not equivalent and serve distinct roles in immune cells. Merkenschlager and colleagues show that RUNX1 and RUNX3 differ in binding strength to motif sequences and how this leads to differential functional activities.
Nature Immunology, Published online: 26 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41590-019-0469-zLove and colleagues show that β-selection-associated proliferation requires the combined activity of SCF ubiquitin ligases that contain the F-box proteins Fbxl1 and Fbxl12, which are induced by Notch and pre-TCR signals, respectively.

Abstract Background Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has become first-line treatment for patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO). Delay in the interhospital transfer (IHT) of patients from referral hospitals to a comprehensive stroke center is associated with worse outcomes. At our academic tertiary care facility in an urban setting, a neurocritical care and emergency neurology unit (NCCU) receives patients...

by William J. Pandori, Tatiane S. Lima, Sharmila Mallya, Tiffany H. Kao, Lanny Gov, Melissa B. Lodoen IL-1β is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine that promotes immunity and host defense, and its dysregulation is associated with immune pathology. Toxoplasma gondii infection of myeloid cells triggers the production and release of IL-1β; however, the mechanisms regulating this pathway, particularly in human immune cells, are incompletely understood. We have identified a novel pathway of T. gondii...

Bachman Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp), one of the most common causes of healthcare-associated infections, increases patient morbidity, mortality, and hospitalization costs. Kp must acquire nutrients from the host for successful infection; however, the host is able to prevent bacterial nutrient acquisition through multiple systems. This includes the innate immune protein lipocalin 2 (Lcn2), which...

Abstract Introduction Whereas body-contouring surgery after massive weight loss in women receives much attention, little attention has been devoted to accentuating the male physique. Male patients after massive weight loss often suffer from redundant skin and soft tissue in the anterior and lateral chest region, causing various deformities of pseudogynecomastia. The authors present their approach to high-grade pseudogynecomastia correction...
