1. Consequential drug combinations for tuberculosis treatments
Charlie J Pyle, David M Tobin Cell Syst. 2021 Nov 17;12(11):1021-1022. doi: 10.1016/j.cels.2021.10.005.
Improved therapies for tuberculosis will require the careful revision of complex, multi-drug regimens. In this issue of Cell Systems, Larkins-Ford et al. integrate extensive dose-response measurements of drug combinations, in vivo animal data, and computational analysis to provide a new predictive framework for the prioritization of specific antitubercular drug regimens.
2. Scholarship on well-being and social media: A sociotechnical perspective
Nicole B Ellison, Cassidy Pyle, Jessica Vitak Curr Opin Psychol. 2022 Aug;46:101340. doi: 10.1016/j.copsyc.2022.101340. Epub 2022 Mar 16.
Evaluating the well-being implications of social media use is challenging for many reasons, including finding appropriate theoretical and methodological approaches that do not exclusively center either the technology (and its structural features) or the user (and their motivations, psychological disposition, etc.). We argue that many research questions would benefit from a more integrated approach that fully acknowledges both these elements and their mutually constitutive relationship to one another. This essay highlights the possibilities presented by one intellectual tradition that acknowledges how the materiality of an artifact intertwines with social factors and allows us to better understand how technology and people mutually shape one another: the sociotechnical perspective. We describe three broad domains-self-presentation, social capital, and social support-that are relevant to one's well-being and are especially well-aligned with this approach.
3. Adenomyosis in Pregnancy: Diagnostic Pearls and Pitfalls
Kyle K Jensen, Chelsea Pyle, Bryan R Foster, Roya Sohaey, Karen Y Oh Radiographics. 2021 May-Jun;41(3):929-944. doi: 10.1148/rg.2021200120. Epub 2021 Mar 26.
Adenomyosis is a common benign uterine disorder in which ectopic endometrial glands extend into the myometrium. Adenomyosis is increasingly diagnosed in young women, affecting 20%-35% of women of reproductive age. Features of adenomyosis can be seen with either US or MRI, especially with newer imaging technology. With advances in reproductive endocrinology as well as a trend toward later maternal age, adenomyosis is increasingly noted during pregnancy, often while performing imaging for other reasons. Hormonal changes during pregnancy alter the appearance of adenomyosis, which includes diffuse, focal, and cystic adenomyosis. Recognizing these imaging changes in pregnancy proves essential for accurately diagnosing adenomyosis as a benign condition, as it mimics serious placental and myometrial abnormalities. Using a lower-frequency US transducer or MRI can be helpful in distinguishing among these entities. Describing the location of adenomyosis in relationship to the site of placentation is also important. Diagnosing adenomyosis is crucial because it can be associated with poor pregnancy outcomes, including spontaneous abortion, preterm birth, and fetal growth restriction. Adenomyosis is also a risk factor for preeclampsia. Intramural ectopic pregnancy is a rare but serious condition that can mimic cystic adenomyosis, and comparison with prepregnancy images can help differentiate the two conditions. The authors review the unique imaging characteristics of adenomyosis in pregnancy, focusing on accurate diagnosis of an underrecognized benign condition that can mimic myometrial and placental pathologic conditions.©RSNA, 2021.
