    Abstract Event-based surveillance (EBS) systems have been implemented globally to support early warning surveillance across human, animal, and environmental health in diverse settings, including at the community level, within health facilities, at border points of entry, and through media monitoring of internet-based sources. EBS systems should be evaluated periodically to ensure that they meet the objectives related to the early detection of health threats and to identify areas for improvement in the quality, efficiency, and usefulness of the systems. However, to date, there has been no comprehensive framework to guide the monitoring and evaluation of EBS systems; this absence of standardisation has hindered progress in the field. The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have collaborated to develop an EBS monitoring and evaluation indicator framework, adaptable to specific country contexts, that uses measures relating to input, activity, output, outcome, and impact to map the processes and expected results of EBS systems. Through the implementation and continued refinement of these indicators, countries can ensure the early detection of health threats and improve their ability to measure and describe the impacts of EBS systems, thus filling the current evidence gap regarding their effectiveness.

    Abstract Background: In response to limited contraception availability and a lack of knowledge about family planning (FP) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Integrated Health Program (IHP) in the DRC has been providing FP services, including outreach programs in the DRC. Our study aims to assess the FP outreach program by understanding the participants' perception of the campaign, its impact on their behavior, and their feedback regarding the campaign. Additionally, we draw insights from lessons learned and provide recommendations.
    Methods: Between July and August 2022, we conducted 47 in-person participant interviews with women of reproductive age who used the outreach services provided by USAID IHP. Participants were randomly selected from Sud-Kivu, Kasai-Oriental, Haut-Katanga, and Tanganyika provinces. Consent and confidentiality were assured, and responses were recorded and transcribed in a Word document. We used Excel for data coding and analysis.
    Results: The campaign reached 95.7% of women interviewed; however, some participants could not recall specific message details. Most respondents (89.3%) reported that the campaign motivated them to make FP decisions and change their behaviors. While 14.8% of women reported making FP decisions independently, 85.1% reported making the decision jointly with their partners. Our analysis resulted in three emerging themes: 1) Increased FP outreach and improved perception of FP, 2) Improved perceived behavioral changes due to FP outreach, and 3) The need for program improvement by including men and providing additional information about possible FP side effects.
    Implications: Our study provides insights into how women receive information and whether they find it useful and share it with other women in their community. In particular, women's feedback about the FP outreach program and our recommendations can inform future policies and interventions.

    Abstract Baleen whales are subject to a myriad of natural and anthropogenic stressors, but understanding how these stressors affect physiology is difficult. Measurement of adrenal glucocorticoid (GC) hormones involved in the vertebrate stress response (cortisol and corticosterone) in baleen could help fill this data gap. Baleen analysis is a powerful tool, allowing for a retrospective re-creation of multiple years of GC hormone concentrations at approximately a monthly resolution. We hypothesized that whales that died from acute causes (e.g. ship strike) would have lower levels of baleen GCs than whales that died from extended illness or injury (e.g. long-term entanglement in fishing gear). To test this hypothesis, we extracted hormones from baleen plates of four humpback whales (

    Abstract We present a rare case of meningoradiculitis occurring after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. This patient, with a history of inflammatory arthritis following rubella vaccination, presented to the emergency department 4 days after her vaccination with both central and radicular nervous system symptoms. Symptoms included pain, sensory and motor deficits in L5 roots distribution, along with signs of central irritation, such as headache, difficulty concentrating and a Babinski sign. MRI showed bilateral L5 nerve roots enhancement. Lumbar puncture showed elevated protein and IgG, and relevant serologies excluded common causes. Prednisone and physical therapy helped the patient to achieve near complete recovery nine weeks after presentation. We concluded that this patient presented meningoradiculitis probably secondary to her vaccination in a context of possible overactive immune system. While such presentations might be rare, and do not constitute a general reason to abstain from vaccination, they must be well recognized and treated.

    Abstract Soil health is a promising lens through which to approach land management, having the potential to serve as a descriptor of biophysical processes and as an effective communication tool across stakeholders. However, this potential has been largely unrealized due to difficulty in quantitatively assessing soil health and linking those assessments to outcomes. Here we discuss many multiple persistent obstacles to quantitative soil health assessment and outline a suite of analyses to help address those obstacles. Specifically, we propose a quantitative approach to developing and selecting soil health indicators that help connect management-induced changes in soil health to specific outcomes (e.g., yield or water quality). To demonstrate the utility of this approach, we perform a small case study using published data from North Carolina and New York cropping systems. Additionally, we outline how this approach is scalable and flexible enough to integrate future soil health metric development. The proposed approach stands to provide a quantitative, empirical basis for future measurement, assessment, and interpretation of soil health.

    Abstract The exposure of ionizing radiation during early gestation often leads to deleterious and even lethal effects; however, few extensive studies have been conducted on late gestational exposures. This research examined the behavior al effects of C57Bl/6J mouse offspring exposed to low dose ionizing gamma irradiation during the equivalent third trimester. Pregnant dams were randomly assigned to sham or exposed groups to either low dose or sublethal dose radiation (50, 300, or 1000 mGy) at gestational day 15. Adult offspring underwent a behavioral and genetic analysis after being raised under normal murine housing conditions. Our results indicate very little change in the behavioral tasks measuring general anxiety, social anxiety, and stress-management in animals exposed prenatally across the low dose radiation conditions. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions were conducted on the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum of each animal; results indicate some dysregulation in markers of DNA damage, synaptic activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulation, and methylation pathways in the offspring. Together, our results provide evidence in the C57Bl/6J strain, that exposure to sublethal dose radiation (<1000 mGy) during the last period of gestation leads to no observable changes in behaviour when assessed as adults, although some changes in gene expression were observed for specific brain regions. These results indicate that the level of oxidative stress occurring during late gestation for this mouse strain is not sufficient for a change in the assessed behavioral phenotype, but results in some modest dysregulation of the genetic profile of the brain.

    Abstract Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) and small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNETs) are rare tumors that are frequently diagnosed late in the course of the disease. Several biomarkers have been proposed in the literature as prognostic factors for patients with these tumors. This article discusses a recent publication in Annals of Surgical Oncology from the University of Iowa analyzing the effect of different biomarkers on survival in patients with PNETs and SBNETs.

    Abstract Hibernators suppress physiological processes when expressing torpor, yet little is known about the effects of torpor on male reproductive physiology. Studies of hibernating mammals suggest that deep torpor negatively impacts spermatogenesis and that transitions between torpor and euthermic arousals increase cellular oxidative stress, with potentially damaging effects on sperm. Here, we hypothesize that variation in torpor expression affects the reproductive readiness of hibernators by impacting their sperm production. To test this, we examined the relationship between torpor expression and spermatogenesis in captive eastern chipmunks (
