News at a glance: Diphtheria vaccine shortage, prisoner release, and iNaturalist ’s growth
CONSERVATION Popular biodiversity app to expand The nonprofit that runs iNaturalist, a popular app and website for identifying species, has received a $10 million grant to expand. The funding from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, announced last week, will allow iNaturalist—whose website is one of the largest generators of crowd-sourced species-occurrence data—to add users, technology, and observations to inform conservation. iNaturalist hopes to grow in nature-rich parts of the world, such as Asia and South America, which have fewer users uploading data. Since iNaturalist’s founding in 2008, the ...

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1959: Fitness Determinants of Influenza A Viruses
ins Influenza A (IAV) is a major human respiratory pathogen that causes illness, hospitalizations, and mortality annually worldwide. IAV is also a zoonotic pathogen with a multitude of hosts, allowing for interspecies transmission, reassortment events, and the emergence of novel pandemics, as was seen in 2009 with the emergence of a swine-origin H1N1 (pdmH1N1) virus into humans, causing the first influenza pandemic of the 21st century. While the 2009 pandemic was considered to have high morbidity and low mortality, studies have linked the pdmH1N1 virus and its gene segments to increased disease in humans and animal mod...

Extracellular vesicles in acute respiratory distress syndrome: Understanding protective and harmful signaling for the development of new therapeutics
Histol Histopathol. 2023 Sep 1:18659. doi: 10.14670/HH-18-659. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe respiratory condition characterized by increased lung permeability, hyper-inflammatory state, and fluid leak into the alveolar spaces. ARDS is a heterogeneous disease, with multiple direct and indirect causes that result in a mortality of up to 40%. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, its incidence has increased up to ten-fold. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small liposome-like particles that mediate intercellular communication and play a major role in ARDS pathophysiology....

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1925: Bridging the Gap: Can COVID-19 Research Help Combat African Swine Fever?
hanarat African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and economically devastating disease affecting domestic pigs and wild boar, caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV). Despite being harmless to humans, ASF poses significant challenges to the swine industry, due to sudden losses and trade restrictions. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has spurred an unparalleled global research effort, yielding remarkable advancements across scientific disciplines. In this review, we explore the potential technological spillover from COVID-19 research into ASF. Specifically, we assess the applicability of the diagnostic tools, vac...

News at a glance: Sustainable Development Goals, CO2 removal, and hominin fossils in space
POLICY Scientists call for revamped Sustainable Development Goals New analyses confirm the world is failing to meet the Sustainable Development Goals, a set of ambitious objectives agreed to in 2015 by the United Nations, and scientists are among those calling for a reboot. The 17 goals include ending poverty and hunger and ensuring sustainable consumption by 2030. To meet them, the agreement includes 169 specific targets, but skeptics have long contended that many are not well defined, measurable, and scientifically rigorous. In an independent analysis the U.N. will publish next week ahead of a meeting it i...

CIA bribed its own COVID-19 origin team to reject lab-leak theory, anonymous whistleblower claims
An unnamed CIA whistleblower has made the dramatic allegation that six analysts there were bribed to reject the theory that COVID-19 resulted from a research-related leak of a new coronavirus, according to a press release today from the office of the Republican leading a congressional investigation into the pandemic. The allegation was strongly rejected in a CIA statement released hours later. A majority of U.S. intelligence agencies has so far concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic mostly likely started when SARS-CoV-2 jumped from an infected animal host into people; a wildlife market in Wuhan, China, has receive...

Why It Takes Forever to Get a Doctor ’ s Appointment
Recently I faced consoling a patient of mine who couldn’t understand why I was unable to “hop on the phone” to discuss her new back pain. When she finally got an appointment with me weeks later, I decided to be honest. I shared that I had 1,300 patients who call me their primary doctor. After I’m done seeing patients at 5 PM, I tend to 50 to 100 messages and notifications. I take three to four hours of work home with me every night. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] I didn’t share these stats to elicit sympathy, but soon our roles had reversed. My patient overflowed with apologi...

Diagnosis and Characteristics of Presentation of Tubulointerstitial Nephritis and Uveitis Syndrome During the COVID-2019 Pandemic
CONCLUSION: This is the first study reporting an increased number of TINU during the COVID-19 pandemic. With most of the American population now exposed to COVID-19, a large multi-center epidemiological study would be helpful to investigate any association of COVID-19 disease or vaccination with TINU in recent years.PMID:37699166 | DOI:10.1080/09273948.2023.2244077
