Background General awareness and exposure to generative artificial intelligence (AI) have increased recently. This transformative technology has the potential create a more dynamic engaging user experience in digital mental health interventions (DMHIs). However, if not appropriately used controlled, it can introduce risks users that may result harm erode trust. At time of conducting this trial, there had been rigorous evaluation an approach safely implementing AI DMHI. Objective study aims...

In 2015, wild poliovirus (WPV) transmission was identified in only Afghanistan and Pakistan (1). The widespread use of live, attenuated oral vaccine (OPV) has been key polio eradication efforts. However, OPV use, particularly areas with low vaccination coverage, is associated the risk for emergence vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPV), which can cause paralysis (2). VDPVs vary genetically from viruses outbreaks coverage. Circulating (cVDPVs) are confirmed outbreaks. Single origin cannot be...

In order to compare methods for subtyping Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B isolates, 96 isolates obtained from various locations in the United States and northwestern Europe were subtyped by five methods: monoclonal antibody (MAb)-based serotyping serosubtyping, DNA macrorestriction analysis pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multilocus enzyme (MEE), ribotyping, PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism of internally transcribed spacer region rRNA operon (ITS PCR-RFLP). All N....

Key metabolic hormones, such as insulin, leptin, and adiponectin, have been studied extensively in obesity, however the pathophysiologic relevance of calcitonin family peptides remains unclear. This includes (CT), its precursor procalcitonin (PCT), alpha calcitonin-gene related peptide (αCGRP), which are all encoded by gene Calca. Here, we role Calca-derived diet-induced obesity (DIO) challenging Calcr−/− (encoding receptor, CTR), Calca−/−, αCGRP−/− mice their respective littermates with...
