TL;DR: These findings confirm the ongoing unprecedented community transmission of monkeypox virus among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men seen in the UK and many other non-endemic countries.

TL;DR: There was variation in test performance between the lateral flow serological assays; however, the Encode assay displayed reasonable IgG sensitivity and specificity among PCR-proven cases and good agreement with the laboratory immunoassay, and seroprevalence across the entire workforce was estimated at 18·0%.

TL;DR: Over half of positive patients reported anosmia and ageusia suggesting these should be added to the case definition and guide self-isolation protocols, and this adaptation may be integral to case finding in the absence of population-level testing.

TL;DR: This analysis demonstrates an adaptive ANN trained on data at a single site, which demonstrates the early utility of deep learning approaches in a rapidly evolving pandemic with no established or validated prognostic scoring systems.

TL;DR: In any future epidemic, high level of preparedness, training and protection, in addition to liaison with public health teams early in an epidemic, may allow surgeons to carry out at least some of their duties without the very high levels of personal risk seen here.
