Recent advances in single-cell sequencing technologies have provided unprecedented opportunities to measure the gene expression profile and RNA velocity of individual cells. However, modeling transcriptional dynamics is computationally challenging because high-dimensional, sparse nature measurements nonlinear regulatory relationships. Here, we present DeepVelo , a neural network–based ordinary differential equation that can model complex transcriptome by describing continuous-time changes...
Previous studies have demonstrated that text message reminders can improve pediatric vaccination rates, including low income & diverse settings such as those served by federally qualified health centers. In this study, we aimed to compliance with routine childhood immunizations via a intervention in network of urban, centers at large academic medical center. We targeted parents or guardians children aged 0-2 years who were overdue due within 14 days for least one immunization without...
Abstract The developmental processes of the oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) lineage that are targeted by interferon‐γ (IFN‐γ) were studied in primary rat OPC cultures. Under conditions thyroid hormone‐mediated differentiation, IFN‐γ produced a dose‐dependent apoptotic response OPCs. lowest dose tested (15 ng/ml or 75 U/ml) was nonapoptotic, but activated detectable STAT1 DNA‐binding. At this dose, reduced percentage mature O1 + cells and increased immature A2B5 This observed without...
Abstract Differentiation status in neuroblastoma strongly affects clinical outcomes and inducing differentiation is a treatment strategy this disease. However, the molecular mechanisms that control are not well understood. Here, we show high-level HOXC9 expression associated with prognostic for better survival patients. induces growth arrest neuronal cells by directly targeting both cell-cycle–promoting genes. upregulated retinoic acid (RA), knockdown of confers resistance to RA-induced...
The CD8+ T-cell response comprises terminally differentiated effector cells and antigen-experienced memory T cells. latter encompass central (TCM) (TEM) TCM are superior in their protection against viral bacterial challenges mediation of antitumor immunity due to higher proliferative ability upon antigen re-encounter. Defining a mechanism enhance delay terminal differentiation is crucial for cancer immune therapy, as it can promote better tumor response. thought be coordinated by the...
We aimed to determine whether implementation of clinical decision support (CDS) tool integrated into the electronic health record (EHR) a multi-site academic medical center increased proportion patients with American Urological Association (AUA) "high risk" microscopic hematuria (MH) who receive guideline concordant evaluations. conducted two-arm cluster randomized quality improvement project in which 202 ambulatory sites from large system were either have their physicians at time test...
Importance Patients with poor glycaemic control have a high risk for major cardiovascular events. Improving monitoring in patients diabetes can improve morbidity and mortality. Objective To assess the effectiveness of patient portal message prompting poorly controlled without recent glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) result to their HbA1c repeated. Design A pragmatic, randomised clinical trial. Setting large academic health system consisting over 350 ambulatory practices. Participants who had an...
IT IS WELL known that superficial infections caused by the Candida species (intertrigo, glossitis, perlèche, etc.) are relatively common in infants. Also, tinea favosa (a rare fungus infection of scalp) tends to involve more than one member family, including With exception these two forms dermatomycosis, modern textbooks dermatology and pediatrics do not mention occurring infancy. However, Duhring,<sup>1</sup>in his textbook on diseases ofthe skin, published 1888, stated infants very...
The present study compares reunification for sibling groups in foster care under alternate placement conditions, including with kin and entering within the same month. findings suggest siblings placed completely or partially together reunify at a faster rate than those apart. gap between apart increases over time, particular after first year care. Fewer of remain during 8 months Efforts to place should be strengthened. Monetary incentives might encourage more parents provide homes keep...
Abstract Recent advances in single-cell RNA sequencing technology have provided unprecedented opportunities to simultaneously measure the gene expression profile and transcriptional velocity of individual cells, enabling us sample regulatory network dynamics along developmental trajectories. However, traditional methods faced challenges modeling within cells due sparse, non-linear (e.g., obligate heterodimer transcription factors), high-dimensional measurements. Here, we present DeepVelo, a...
Abnormal NF-κB2 activation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma, a cancer plasma cells. However, causal role for aberrant signaling development cell tumors not established. Also unclear is molecular mechanism that drives tumorigenic process. We investigated these questions by using transgenic mouse model with lymphocyte-targeted expression p80HT, lymphoma-associated mutant, and human myeloma lines.We conducted detailed histopathological characterization lymphomas...
ABSTRACT This study compared exits between citizen and noncitizen heads of household from the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program. With longitudinal monthly administrative data a Cox proportional hazard model, examined how economy recipients’ personal characteristics affected their exits. The sample consisted 28,308 families headed by citizens 2,547 on TANF. Key findings reveal that TANF exit rolls primarily during first 8 months after entrance. Results showed remain longer...
The Great Recession that officially began in December 2007 nationally resulted a loss of income on the part many families with children who turn, relied variety safety nets, including cash assistance from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. Loss has been recognized as major risk factor child maltreatment, particular neglect. During its recession, Arizona shortened TANF lifetime limits substantially which transfer losses TANF. Using time-series analysis, present study...
Ischaemic cardiovascular disease is associated with tissue hypoxia as a significant determinant of angiogenic dysfunction and adverse remodelling. While cord blood-derived endothelial colony-forming cells (CB-ECFCs) hold clear therapeutic potential due to their enhanced proliferative capacity, impaired functionality within the microenvironment represents major barrier clinical translation. The aim this study was define specific contribution NOX4 NADPH oxidase, which we previously reported...
This longitudinal study analyzes the impact of one most ambitious employment and training programs in nation, California's Greater Avenue for Independence (GAIN), on welfare terminations. The isolates effects GAIN from other by controlling AFDC program characteristics labor market conditions. findings suggest that, all else constant, increased terminations a modest fashion. paper discusses difficulties future welfare-to-work are likely to have substantially increasing even with stringent...

This longitudinal study analyzes the impact of labor market conditions and welfare policies accompanying 1990s waivers granted by federal government to California 1996 Personal Responsibility Work Opportunity Act (PRWOA) on families entering (accessions). A time series model was specified for analyzing number from January 1983 December 1998. The findings suggest that in 1998 under PRWOA, all else constant, there were fewer case openings. Prior policy shifts did not have an also show economic...

ABSTRACT The tragedy of 9/11 had more far-reaching social and economic consequences for the nation than those found many individuals on that day. Between October 2001 May 2002, Nevada witnessed a 25% increase in total number households Temporary Assistance Needy Families (TANF) program, commonly referred to as welfare. During same time, headed by noncitizen increased their participation TANF program 40%. This study examines differential impact 9/11, well economy other external developments,...
On March 28, 2019, less than two weeks after the Christchurch, New Zealand massacre, United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2462. It stands as a signal of Nations' continued recognition critical importance finance in combatting and countering global terrorism. Unfortunately, it may also be an indication that states are not doing what they have been urged to do previous resolutions. The text 2462 its preamble riddled with language like “Reminding,” “Reaffirming,”...
