Internet tool to support self-assessment and self-swabbing of sore throat: development and feasibility study by Lown, M, Smith, KA, Muller, I, Woods, C, Maund, E, Rogers, K, Becque, T, Hayward, G, Moore, M, Little, P, Glogowska, M, Hay, A, Stuart, B, Mantzourani, E, Wilcox, CR, Thompson, N, Francis, NA

“…A web-based tool that helps people assess their sore throat, through the use of clinical prediction rules, taking throat swabs or saliva samples, and taking throat photographs, has the potential to improve self-management and help identify those who are the most and least likely to benefit from antibiotics. <br><strong> Objective:<br></strong> We aimed to develop a web-based tool to help patients and parents or carers self-assess sore throat symptoms and take throat photographs, swabs, and saliva samples for diagnostic testing. …”

Circadian rhythm and misalignment in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD): an experimental medicine approach by Marjot, T

“…I show that 3-night shifts are associated with profound hepatic insulin resistance, a pathological hallmark of MASLD. This is likely to be related to a combination of circadian misalignment, sleep deprivation, and elevated light exposure during sleep. …”

Space weather radiation effects on geostationary satellite solid-state power amplifiers by Lohmeyer, W. Q., Cahoy, K. L.

“…Our observations suggest that internal charging from either past elevated radiation belt fluxes or some conditions related to relativistic electron enhancements (either causally or accidentally) is most likely responsible for the SSPA anomalies. We next consider the timing of these anomalies with respect to the local time (LT) and season. …”

Preclinical development of antisense conjugates for the treatment of myotonic dystrophy 1 by Stoodley, J

“…It was concluded that this was likely due to the specific chemical properties of the compound rather than inherent limitations of anti-TfR1 antibodies, suggesting that further optimization of the conjugate’s chemical characteristics is necessary to improve therapeutic efficacy. …”

Use of Mid Upper-Arm Circumference (MUAC) as screening tool in an urban township in the Eastern Cape: rationale for testing changed cut-off values to identify malnutrition by McLaren, Shawn, Steenkamp, Liana, Venter, Danie

“…The least squares regression formula (Y = 15.409 + 0.803x (males); Y = 15.13 + 0.83x (females)) was then used to predict where WHZ = -2 is most likely to correspond with a MUAC value in cm. The new predicted MUAC values of 13.8 cm (males) and 13.5 cm (females) were subsequently tested for sensitivity and specificity. …”
