Organelles are critical structures in mediating the assembly and activation of inflammasomes in mammalian cells, resulting in inflammation and cell death. Assembly of inflammasomes can occur at the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus, trans-Golgi network, or pathogen surface, facilitated by the overarching architecture of the cytoskeleton. NLRP3 and Pyrin inflammasome sensors may form smaller speckles and converge on a single larger speck at the microtubule-organizing center (MTOC). This signaling hub activates multiple mammalian inflammatory and apoptotic caspases, cytokine substrates, the pore-forming protein gasdermin D, and the plasma membrane rupture protein ninjurin-1 (NINJ1), allowing pyroptosis, cellular disintegration, and inflammation to ensue. In this review, we highlight the role of mammalian cell types and organellar architectures in executing inflammasome responses.
  To retrospectively evaluate imaging findings in multisystem inflammatory disease in children associated with COVID-19 (MIS-C).
 
  The radiological imaging findings of 45 pediatric patients aged between 52 days and 16 years, who were diagnosed with MIS-C according to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, were evaluated. All the patients underwent chest X-ray and echocardiography. The findings obtained from 25 abdominal radiographs, 24 abdominal US, 7 abdominal CT, 16 thorax CT, 21 cranial MRI and one spinal MRI, MR cholangiography (MRCP) and cardiac MRI examinations were categorized and evaluated according to the affected systems.
 
  While the most common findings in chest X-ray were perihilar opacity and peribronchial thickening, pleural effusion was the most finding in thorax CT. Echocardiography findings of myocarditis were observed in 31% of the cases. The most common findings in abdominal radiological evaluation were hepatomegaly and splenomegaly, edema in the gallbladder wall and periportal area,nt.
  This study aimed to determine whether patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) achieved lower rates of physical therapy participation and required more sedation than those on ECMO without COVID-19.
 
  Retrospective, observational, matched-cohort study.
 
  Bicenter academic quaternary medical centers.
 
  All adults on ECMO for severe COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) during 2020 and matched (matched 11 based on age ± 15 years and medical center) adults on ECMO for ARDS not associated with COVID-19.
 
  Observational only.
 
  Measurements were collected retrospectively during the first 20 days of ECMO support and included daily levels of physical therapy activity, number of daily sedation infusions and doses, and level of sedation and agitation (Richmond Agitation and Sedation Score). During the first 20 days of ECMO support, the 22 patients who were on ECMO for COVID-19-associated ARDS achieved a similar proportion of days with actMO) versus those without COVID-19-associated ARDS who were on VV-ECMO.
  Depression is a prevalent condition for which screening rates remain low and disparities in screening exist. This study examines the impacts of a medical assistant screening protocol on the rates of depression screening, overall and by sociodemographic groups, in a primary care setting.
 
  Between September 2016 and August 2018, a quasi-experimental study of adult primary care visits was conducted at an urban academic clinic to ascertain the change in the rates of completion of the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 after the implementation of a medical assistant protocol (intervention) versus that of physician-only screening (control arm). Analyses were conducted between April 2019 and April 2020 and used interrupted time-series models with generalized estimating equations.
 
  A total of 45,157 visits by 21,377 unique patients were included. Overall, screening increased from 18% (physician-only screening) to 57% (medical assistant protocol) (p<0.0001). Screening increased for all measured demographics. With py care setting may significantly increase depression screening rates while mitigating or removing sociodemographic disparities.
  The objective of the presented study was to investigate gender differences in the changes of value systems after a cancer diagnosis.
 
  In the study, we used the Polish adaptation of the Rokeach Value Survey and compared within-subject differences in the obtained results from before (retrospective) and after patients' cancer diagnosis. In the analysis, we used the Aranowska ω Coefficient of Choice and Single-Sample t-test statistics.
 
  Generally, after cancer diagnosis communal values gained, and agentic - lost importance regardless of patients' gender. However, we found statistically significant effects of gender in value system changes, namely agency values ("independent" and "intellectual") become less important for men than women, while the communal value "Mature love" was placed higher by men than women.
 
  The results of the study confirm our initial hypothesis about significant gender differences in the changes of the value system.
 
  Obtained knowledge can be used to better predict patient motivation and behavior in the face of oncological treatment. It is important that gender differences are considered in the process of cancer patients treatment. It can be beneficial for communication between a doctor and a patient and for counseling regarding coping with the disease.

  The revised Diabetes Knowledge Test (DKT2) is the instrument that is the most widely used for measuring diabetes knowledge; nevertheless, its structural validity has never been evaluated. This study aimed to determine the psychometric properties of the DKT2.
 
  This study performed a secondary data analysis of people with diabetes recruited at university hospitals. Rasch analysis was used.
 
  One item in the 14-item DKT2 measuring general diabetes knowledge exhibited a poor-fit, and so it was eliminated. The person-item map showed that items of greater difficulty need to be added to the instrument. The principal-components analysis of residuals revealed a unidimensional structure. The person reliability was 0.50, with a person separation index of 1.01. Measurement invariance was not satisfied for items 11 and 2 according to gender and age.
 
  The unidimensional structure of the 13-item DKT2 demonstrated poor person reliability and a low person separation index. Females and elderly persons found it more difficult to respond to items 11 and 2, respectively.
