Seasonal and Gender Differences in Presence of Rickettsia felis and Blood meals Provide Additional Evidence of a Vector Role for Mosquitoes by Jilei Zhang, Guangwu Lu, Patrick John Kelly, Chengming Wang

“…Furthermore, we compared the prevalence of Rickettsia and blood meal in the mosquitoes collected in the months with temperature below and above 23°C, the minimum temperature required for mosquito egg hatching. Mosquitoes captured in the months below 23°C showed significant higher positivity of R. felis(71/936, 7.6% vs. 8/368, 2.2%; P=0.002) and blood meal (294/936, 31.4% vs. 36/368, 9.8%; P<10−4) than in the months above 23°C. …”

Acceptability of artificial intelligence in breast screening: focus groups with the screening-eligible population in England by Jo Waller, Rumana Newlands, Lauren Gatting, Angie A Kehagia, Syeda Ahmed, Priscilla Meccheri

“…Data were analysed using a reflexive thematic analysis.Results Four themes described public perceptions of AI in breast screening found in this study: (1) Things going wrong and being missed summarises a predominant and pervasive concern about an AI tool being used in breast screening; (2) Speed of change and loss of control captures a positive association of AI with technological advances held by the women but also feelings of things being out of their control, and that they were being left behind and in the dark; (3) The importance of humans reports concern around the possibility that AI excludes humans and renders them redundant and (4) Desire for thorough research, staggered implementation and double-checking of scans included insistence that any AI be thoroughly trialled, tested and not solely relied on when initially implemented.Conclusions It will be essential that future decision-making and communication about AI implementation in breast screening (and, likely, in healthcare more widely) address concerns surrounding (1) the fallibility of AI, (2) lack of inclusion, control and transparency in relation to healthcare and technology decisions and (3) humans being left redundant and unneeded, while building on women’s hopes for the technology.…”
