Non-invasive ovulation tracking enables genetic engineering in wild rodents.

Many non-model rodent species are inaccessible to genetic engineering due to our limited understanding of their reproductive biology. Here, we present a low-cost, camera-based estrous-tracking technology that enables transgenesis in the white-footed mouse Peromyscus leucopus, a key reservoir for Lyme disease. We demonstrate the efficient generation of pregnant and pseudopregnant mice via timed ovu...

Assessing the Impact of Sociodemographic Factors on Artificial Intelligence Models in Predicting Dementia: Retrospective Cohort Study.

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly applied to health care, yet concerns about fairness persist, particularly in relation to sociodemographic disparities. Previous studies suggest that socioeconomic status (SES) and sex may influence AI model performance, potentially affecting groups that are historically underserved or understudied. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to (1) assess a...
