Comparison of the pathogenicity of multiple SARS‐CoV‐2 variants in mouse models

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We assessed the pathogenicity of various SARS‐CoV‐2 variants using two distinct mouse models. Our findings indicated that earlier variants, including WH‐09, Beta, and Delta, exhibited greater pathogenicity than later variants. Specifically, the Omicron variant demonstrated reduced pathogenicity, characterized by a shorter disease course and diminished ...

Interactive user interface based on Convolutional Auto-encoders for annotating CT-scans [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the most important imaging modality for interstitial lung diseases, where the radiologists are interested in identifying certain patterns, and their volumetric and regional distribution. The use of machine learning can assist the radiologists with both these tasks by performing semantic segmentation.

Distinct Alterations of Inflammatory Biomarkers in Cluster Headache: A Case Control Study

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Investigate the immune system's role in cluster headache by analyzing cytokines in people with cluster headache and headache‐free controls, and explore if certain cytokines could predict a specific phenotype. Methods We measured 45 cytokines in adult participants from the Danish Cluster Headache Biobank in a prospective case–control setup ...

Advances on Albumin‐Based Carriers for Anticancer Drug Delivery

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This study systematically classifies the drug delivery modes of albumin by examining the characteristics of its surface‐active groups and internal binding sites. It provides an in‐depth analysis of various drug delivery strategies and their corresponding targeting mechanisms.

Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Critical Role for Transglutaminase 2 in Scleroderma Skin Fibrosis and in the Development of Dermal Sclerosis in a Mouse Model of Scleroderma

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Scleroderma is a life‐threatening autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation, tissue remodeling, and fibrosis. This study aimed to investigate the expression and function of transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) in scleroderma skin and experimentally induced dermal fibrosis to determine its potential role and therapeutic implications.

Associations of Fire Smoke and Other Pollutants With Incident Rheumatoid Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether pollutants such as fire smoke–related particulate matter <2.5 μm (PM2.5) are associated with incident rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and RA‐associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD). Methods This patient–control study used Veterans Affairs (VA) data from October 1, 2009, to December 31, 2018.
