A PEP risk scoring model that could be calculated before ERCP, SuPER model, may aid in preventing PEP by allowing selection of the appropriate expert endoscopist and useful PEP prophylaxes.

The competing mortality risk from cancer itself overshadows any increase in COVID-19 mortality risk due to cancer.

Enteric bacteria associated with bloodstream infections are attracted to human serum through L-serine and the chemoreceptor Tsr, and in an enterohemorrhagic lesion model use chemotaxis to invade damaged vasculature.

Comparing the white-footed deermouse with mice and rats in an inflammation model reveals a means for the observed infection tolerance in this key animal reservoir for several human diseases.

The overall mortality consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States are predominantly attributable to the direct impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection but there are substantial indirect effects among children and young adults, and in mortality from accidents, homicides, and overdoses.

A real-time genomic surveillance approach based on mutation analysis of SARS-CoV-2 proteins has enabled a priori prediction of surge in number of COVID19 infection cases, including those already observed in July and September 2022.
