Resolving identity-based violence: Lessons for restorative justice in the hate crime context by Malini Laxminarayan

“…The severity of these crimes, combined with the fact that restorative justice has been applied successfully to these complex offences, suggests that hate crimes should not be ruled out as potential cases. What is missing, however, is a better understanding of what makes these crimes unique, and how restorative justice can or cannot play a role in responding to the harm caused because of hate and identity-based attacks. …”

Searching for the cellular underpinnings of the selective vulnerability to tauopathic insults in Alzheimer’s disease by Justin Torok, Pedro D. Maia, Chaitali Anand, Ashish Raj

“…Here, we deployed a recent cell-type mapping pipeline, Matrix Inversion and Subset Selection (MISS), to determine the brain-wide distributions of pan-hippocampal and neocortical cells in the mouse, and then used these maps to identify general principles of cell-type-based selective vulnerability in PS19 mouse models. …”

Diagnostic value of third-generation nanopore sequencing in extrapulmonary tuberculosis by Chang Song, Chang Song, Chunyan Zhao, Chunyan Zhao, Yanrong Lin, Yingxing Nong, Aichun Huang, Shaoyong Xi, Xiaoying Wei, Chunmei Zeng, Shixiong Yang, Qingdong Zhu

“…The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were calculated for different diagnostic methods, and their diagnostic accuracies were compared.ResultsNanopore sequencing demonstrated the highest correct diagnosis rate among 50 positive EPTB cases, independently diagnosing 19 positive cases missed by conventional methods. Its sensitivity (62.00%), specificity (94.10%), PPV (96.90%), NPV (45.70%) and AUC (0.781, 95% CI: 0.67–0.89) were superior to those of conventional methods, such as AFB staining, DNA testing, X-pert, and solid culture, indicating its significantly efficient advantage in EPTB detection.ConclusionNanopore sequencing technology significantly outperforms conventional methods such as AFB staining, DNA testing, X-pert, and mycobacterial culture to diagnose EPTB, promising to improve the diagnosis of EPTB.…”

Ureteral Dilatation with No Apparent Cause on Intravenous Urography: Normal or Abnormal? A Pilot Study by Vinita Rathi, Sachin Agrawal, Shuchi Bhatt, Naveen Sharma

“…We conclude that ureteral dilatation with no apparent cause on IVU may indicate urinary tract tuberculosis, urinary tract infection (E. coli), or a missed calculus. Thus, cases with a dilated ureter on IVU, having no obvious cause, should undergo a detailed clinicoradiological evaluation and CTU should be used judiciously.…”
