Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Various trauma scoring systems were developed in order to assess injury severity and aid in decision making regarding further therapy and probable outcome. ANATOMIC INJURY SEVERITY SCALES: AIS--Abbreviated Injury Scale is a summary of all the values (from 1-9) for each organ or body part that is injured. ISS--Injury Severity Scale scores three dominant injuries from AIS scale. The maximum score for ISS is 75. MISS--Modified Injury Severity Score is a square of the AIS value for the three body parts with most severe injuries. PHYSIOLOGIC INJURY SEVERITY SCALES: GCS--Glasgow Coma Score is a numerical scale that assesses the severity of CNS injuries, that is the most appropriate system for numerical assessment of consciousness disturbance. Trauma score is a sum of GCS decreased for 1/3, plus the assessment of cardiopulmonary function. COMBINED ANATOMIC-PHYSIOLOGIC SCORING SYSTEMS: TRISS score (TS-ISS--trauma and injury severity score) TRISS combines ISS, TS, age of the patient and mechanism of injury, in order to determine survival probability. PTS--Pediatric Trauma Score takes into consideration all of the peculiarities of pediatric patients in response to trauma. Score values are from -6 to +12. APACHE--Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation Although it is complicated for general use, it still represents the most commonly used scoring system in Intensive Care Units. NEW SCORING SYSTEMS: MPM--Mortality Probability Models. MODS--Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome. LODS--Logistic Organ Dysfunction Syndrome. SAPS--Simplified Acute Physiologic Score.

Global Genomic Surveillance.

Global genomic surveillance has emerged as a foundational pillar of public health in the twenty-first century, enabling real-time tracking of pathogen evolution and informing outbreak response. This chapter examines the strategic architecture of global genomic surveillance, focusing on its application to arboviruses such as chikungunya virus (CHIKV). It explores the integration of genomic data with epidemiological, clinical, and environmental information within a One Health framework, while addressing critical challenges in governance, equity, and interoperability. The discussion covers the entire genomic surveillance workflow, from sample collection and sequencing to bioinformatic analysis and phylogenetic inference, and highlights the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in predictive surveillance. By analyzing global initiatives, operational barriers, and emerging technologies, this chapter underscores the necessity of sustainable, equitable, and interoperable genomic systems to proactively address current and future infectious disease threats.

Systematic Dissection of Key Driver Perturbation Signatures in Single Cells via ECCITE-seq.

CRISPR screens, such as expanded CRISPR-compatible cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing (ECCITE-seq), enable the simultaneous measurement of transcriptomes, gRNA identity, and cell-surface protein expression at single-cell resolution to systematically interrogate gene function. This platform provides a powerful and scalable experimental approach for validating disease-associated regulators identified by large-scale association studies and other computational methods, including network-based analyses of multi-omics data. Here, as an example application, we describe an ECCITE-seq framework to characterize the transcriptomic consequences of perturbing multiple neuronal key driver genes associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons. More broadly, by integrating customized pooled gRNA libraries with different CRISPR effectors across multiple cell types, this approach allows for the assessment of the regulatory impact of candidate genes implicated in development and disease processes.

Identification of Genome-Wide Chromatin Structural Aberration in Cancer by Hi-C Analysis.

Aberrant three-dimensional genome organization is a hallmark of cancer, often driving oncogene activation through mechanisms such as enhancer hijacking. High-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) maps these interactions on a genome-wide scale. Unlike earlier dilution-based methods, in situ Hi-C performs proximity ligation within intact nuclei, minimizing random ligation noise and enabling fine-scale structure detection. This chapter describes an optimized in situ Hi-C protocol tailored for cancer cell lines using MboI digestion and biotin-mediated pull-down to generate high-complexity libraries. We further outline a computational workflow that extends beyond standard topological mapping of compartments and topologically associating domains to identify cancer-specific aberrations. Specifically, we focus on detecting chromosomal rearrangements (structural variants) and characterizing the distinct circular topology of extrachromosomal DNA. This integrated experimental and analytical framework provides the necessary tools to dissect the spatial dysregulation underlying tumor evolution.
