"A new study suggests that early ACL reconstruction surgery delays secondary injury to the knee meniscus compared with delayed surgery or nonsurgical treatment. The findings are published in _The_ _American Journal of Sports Medicine_. The anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, is an important stabilizing structure in the knee. Injury to the ACL places additional stress on neighboring knee structures, such as the meniscus, increasing the risk of secondary injury. However, it’s unclear whether the type and timing of ACL reconstruction affect the risk of subsequent meniscal injury. To find out, researchers recently used machine learning to compare the risk and timing of secondary meniscal injury among patients whose ACL injuries were treated nonsurgically, with early reconstruction surgery, or with delayed reconstruction surgery. There was no significant difference in the overall occurrence of secondary meniscal injury in the patients who were treated with versus without surgery..."

"Diarrhea is common among calves and causes huge losses to the global cattle industry. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is one promising approach to prevent and treat calf diarrhea. However, achieving success with FMT is difficult because of farm management differences, a lack of good donors, and the difficulty of recipient selection. To guide more effective FMT, a recent study investigated factors related to FMT success or failure in 20 donor–recipient pairs. The overall success rate for diarrhea improvement was 70%. Selenomonas bacteria were found in both donors and recipients when FMT was successful, suggesting that Selenomonas may be a biomarker of donor–recipient compatibility, and Sporobacter was identified as a potential biomarker for good donor selection. Pairs of correlations between specific microbial taxa and metabolites were also linked to success, and low levels of pre-FMT glycerol 3-phosphate, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, and isoamylamine were predicted to facilitate good results..."

"A new, fully automated approach could help spot faulty electric motors before they leave the production floor. Based on a popular machine-learning algorithm known as an autoencoder, this technique could prove invaluable to the numerous industries that produce electric motors, as well as those that rely on them. An autoencoder is an algorithm that distills, or encodes, input data down to a few key elements. It then decodes that information to reproduce the original data as closely as possible. At first glance, it might look like a simple cut-and-paste operation. But there’s more than meets the eye. The algorithm actually learns to pick out patterns that are fundamental to the structure of the original data set. For that reason, the tool is incredibly useful for cleaning up noisy data. Trained on a sufficiently large data set, an autoencoder can look at a muddled image and output a fair restoration. That ability, it turns out, is also valuable for telling a good electric motor from a bad one..."

"Environment-derived gut microbes can contribute to host health. In soil invertebrates, the gut microbiome is gradually assembled from the specific soil microecological region that the host inhabits. However, the effects of environmental stress on soil invertebrate microbiomes remain unknown. To learn more, a new study sought to characterize the gut bacterial taxa of the soil invertebrate Folsomia candida in the presence or absence of environmental concentrations of soil pollutants. Sequencing revealed that exposure to the fungicide azoxystrobin (AO), the antibiotic oxytetracycline (OTC), or their mixture (AO) increased Gammaproteobacteria abundance. The Gammaproteobacteria response was closely associated with F. candida physiological and functional indicators, such as the locomotion (HAA) index and oxidative stress..."

This course reviews the key genomic technologies and computational approaches that are driving advances in prognostics, diagnostics, and treatment. Throughout the semester, emphasis will return to issues surrounding the context of genomics in medicine including: what does a physician need to know? what sorts of questions will s/he likely encounter from patients? how should s/he respond? Lecturers will guide the student through real world patient-doctor interactions. Outcome considerations and socioeconomic implications of personalized medicine are also discussed. The first part of the course introduces key basic concepts of molecular biology, computational biology, and genomics. Continuing in the informatics applications portion of the course, lecturers begin each lecture block with a scenario, in order to set the stage and engage the student by showing: why is this important to know? how will the information presented be brought to bear on medical practice? The final section presents the ethical, legal, and social issues surrounding genomic medicine. A vision of how genomic medicine relates to preventative care and public health is presented in a discussion forum with the students where the following questions are explored: what is your level of preparedness now? what challenges must be met by the healthcare industry to get to where it needs to be?

"Most current knowledge about gut microbiomes has been obtained from studies on mammals, while the microbiomes of fish, the most diverse group of vertebrates (~33,000 species), are less well understood. Specifically, the major influencing factors and unique features of fish gut microbiomes remain unclear. To bridge this knowledge gap, a recent study analyzed the gut contents of 227 fish representing 85 different freshwater fish (FWF) and saltwater fish (SWF) species. rRNA sequencing revealed that Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were the two most abundant phyla, indicating a different composition from the typical vertebrate microbiome, which is composed mainly of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. Habitat (freshwater versus saltwater) more strongly influenced the host microbiome than host taxonomy or trophic level and the microbiome taxonomic and functional profiles were better indicators of a fish’s habitat than of its taxonomy..."
