Summary: This article discusses the complex pathophysiology of spondyloarthritis (SpA) and the variability of treatment response. Genomic and microbiomic studies have identified important genes and the role of gut microbiome in the development of SpA. Exploring the link between gut microbiome and joint inflammation in SpA may provide potential biomarkers for treatment response prediction. Novel strategies targeting dysbiosis in SpA are also summarized. This represents a significant step toward precision medicine for patients with SpA.

Summary: The review investigates whether current flexible energy devices can meet the energy demand of wireless flexible sensor systems in long-term health monitoring applications. It estimates the total energy demand of typical sensor systems and discusses the design of the energy supply architecture. Health monitoring protocols that could be realized with self-powered system designs are suggested, and core challenges for further development of the technologies for practical applications are identified.

Summary: Several neglected infectious pathogens, including monkeypox virus (MPXV), have resurfaced in recent decades, posing a global health burden. Despite the availability of an early-stage vaccine against MPXV infection, there has been a continued rise in travel-related outbreaks worldwide. As of May 31, 2022, there have been 472 confirmed cases reported in 27 countries, marking the highest number of cases recorded outside Africa since the disease was first discovered in the early 1970s.

Summary: This article explores the factors that contribute to the success of clinical trial networks (CTNs) in Australia and New Zealand. The study finds that engaged membership, established infrastructure, and sustainability are key themes associated with CTN success and growth. In addition, the presence of an executive officer and a strong pipeline of trials are crucial attributes for successful CTNs.

Summary: Nuclear medicine probes play a crucial role in the identification and precise location of tumors, reducing surgery morbidity. These probes can be divided into counting and imaging categories, with imaging probes providing images but requiring longer intervention time. This review article discusses the performance parameters, types, and ideal design of nuclear medicine probes.

Summary: The urgent need to investigate the embedding of software-based presentation attack detection algorithms (PAD) into fingerprint verification systems is driven by the diffusion of these systems for security applications. This paper proposes a novel investigation instrument to explore the effectiveness of PAD fusion into verification systems, aiming to improve overall personal verification performance.

Summary: Informal carers of people with disability are often neglected in disaster risk reduction efforts, despite their significant impact and needs. This study explores the experiences of informal carers in Australia during disasters, focusing on their capabilities, preparedness, and support requirements. The findings highlight the actions that carers would take to maintain independence and the type of support they would need for evacuation or sheltering, providing valuable insights for education and training of carers and emergency services.

Summary: The brain, which is made up of billions of neurons, controls all bodily functions and is a complex network of interacting dynamical systems. Neurodegenerative disorders can occur when the functions of neurons are impaired, and there is an urgent need to find new strategies for prevention. Polyphenols, a diverse group of plant compounds, have the potential to counteract chronic degenerative disease in the central nervous system. They have antioxidant activities, can inhibit acetylcholinesterase, and protect against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's by preventing protein aggregation and abnormal phosphorylation. Furthermore, polyphenols' role as natural chelators and their influence on the gut-brain axis through the microbiota provide new opportunities for studying molecular mechanisms and developing novel strategies for neurological diseases.
