Were college campuses COVID hot spots? Study shows that test-trace-isolate strategies prevented spread for most COVID cases Rick Sobey Boston Herald BOSTON — While many worried during the heat of the pandemic that college campuses would be COVID hot spots, a new study out of Boston University shows what strategies worked to limit the virus’ spread on campus. The study from Boston University’s COVID Clinical Testing Lab and Contact Tracing — along with researchers from Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine — has found that public health interventions prevented transmission for most COVID case introductions at BU. Only two major campus outbreaks were identified from January to May 2021, according to the scientists. The university’s testtrace-isolate strategies were “highly effective in limiting respiratory infection transmission,” the researchers said. These findings have implications for transmission protocols for other respiratory diseases and possible future outbreaks, they noted.
“We found that genetically linked cases overlap with outbreaks identified by contact tracing; however, they persisted in the university population for fewer days and fewer rounds of transmission than originally estimated via contact tracing,” said corresponding author John Connor, an associate professor of microbiology at the School of Medicine. “This underscores the effectiveness of test-traceisolate strategies in controlling undetected spread of emerging respiratory infectious diseases,” added Connor, a researcher at the Boston University National Emerging infectious Diseases Laboratories. “These approaches limit transmission from those people outside the university as well as those who caught the disease from someone within the campus community.” In April 2020, BU enforced weekly surveillance testing, social distancing, masking and prohibited school-sanctioned social events. People who tested positive were isolated for 10 days by moving into oncampus isolation housing or isolating at private off-campus residences. See Covid on 7

‘New era and treatment of breast cancer’
AI is helping detect breast cancer earlier Michelle Marchante Miami Herald
Tribune News Service A study from Boston University’s COVID Clinical Testing Lab and Contact Tracing — along with researchers from Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine — has found that public health interventions prevented transmission for most COVID case introductions at BU.
New AI-powered mammograms are helping doctors detect breast cancer earlier in patients, helping many avoid aggressive therapies and leading to better outcomes at Baptist Health South Florida’s cancer institute in Boca Raton. The AI technology, first implemented in 2020 during
the COVID-19 pandemic, has increased the cancer detection rate by 23% at the Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute, according to Dr. Kathy Schilling, the institute’s medical director. The institute is located on the campus of Boca Raton Regional Hospital, part of Baptist Health South Florida. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the U.S., excluding skin cancers, and is the second leading cause of cancer death in
women, though deaths have steadily declined due to earlier detection through screenings and better treatment options. The earlier breast cancer is detected, the easier it is to treat. At the institute, AI has helped staff identify cancer as small as 3-6 millimeters in size. Catching the cancer early has led to patients needing less aggressive therapies, fewer mastectomies, smaller lumpectomies and fewer radiation and chemotherapy, said Schilling. See Treatment on 6

West Virginia looking to respond after shaky defensive performance Calif Poncy Staff Reporter
Any coach will tell you there are three facets to every football game. West Virginia head coach Neal Brown is no different, and while Brown was satisfied with the offensive performance in the Mountaineers’ Hail-Mary loss to Houston, defense and special teams left something to be desired. “Houston really deserved to win the game, we played extremely poor on defense and special teams,” Brown said. “The reason we were successful during that four-game winning streak is because we played really disciplined football, we didn’t beat ourselves.” Heading into its game against Houston, WVU was ranked in the top 50 nationally in both opponent points and yards per game. The Cougars made quick work of WVU’s previously solid defense, scoring 41 points and allowing UH quarterback Donovan Smith to total more than 400 yards and score five touchdowns. “I thought Houston was hungrier, and I thought they won both sides of the line of scrimmage,” Brown said. Looking ahead to Oklahoma State, WVU will have to return to its prior form if it wants to earn a victory. Although OSU quarterback Alan Bowman might not score five touchdowns, the Cowboys do have their own offensive staple. Running back Ollie Gordon has eclipsed the 100-yard mark in three consecutive games, and if the Mountaineers perform similarly to how they did against UH, Gordon could make it No. 4. “The difference for them has been Ollie Gordon, he was special last week, and he’s a tough tackle,” Brown said. “Runs as hard as anybody in our league, and they’ve been giving him the ball in the pass game.” While Gordon poses the most obvious threat to a WVU defense looking to rebound, the Cowboys’ wide receivers also pose a significant threat, with Rashod Owens being the hottest of the bunch. The WVU defense was much better against the pass than it was against the run against Houston, but OSU poses a threat across the board on offense. “We’ve got our hands full,” Brown said. “I’m looking forward to getting back to work. Our guys will respond. They understand what they put on tape wasn’t good enough.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

POWER RANKINGS:
The Jayhawks jaunt up the AP Atop 25 came to an end in Stillwater. Kansas lost, 39-32, to Oklahoma State on Saturday. Kansas was without star quarterback Jalon Daniels once again. However, Kansas still managed to collect 500 yards of offense. Jason Bean went 23-of-34 passing for 410 yards. The Jayhawks recorded a loss, but Bean at quarterback still makes their offense a threat.
WEEK 7

The O’Colly is releasing its Big 12 power rankings each week, and here’s where everyone stacks up after Week 7.
KANSAS
S TATE
The Wildcats wringed out a win in Lubbock. Kansas State finished the game with 435 yards of total offense while Texas Tech finished with 480. The Wildcats also went without a turnover. Freshman quarterback Avery Johnson ran for five touchdowns and went 8-of-9 passing.
sports.ed@ocolly.com
1 Oklahoma
West Virginia
7
(6-0, 3-0; AP NO. 6)
The Sooners stayed out of trouble with a Week 7 bye and remain sitting pretty in the top spot. No team seems to have the offensive power to match the Sooners and quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Oklahoma takes on UCF at home at 11 a.m. Saturday.
West Virginia couldn’t hold on against Houston and its last-second Hail Mary. The Mountaineers maintained possession for 37 minutes, finished 13-of-19 on third downs and had eight penalties for 84 yards. If West Virginia had been more disciplined, there’s no question the game would have ended with the Mountaineers on top.
2 TEXAS
8
(5-1, 2-1; AP NO. 8)
The Longhorns got a rest after a Red River Rivalry loss. The Longhorns resume play with a road trip to Houston. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. Saturday.
3 Iowa State
9
(4-3, 3-1)
It’s a great time to be a Cyclone. The Cyclones swept Cincinnati on Saturday and continued its solid season. The Big-12 success for Iowa State comes as a shock to many after starting 1-2 in nonconference play. Quarterback Rocco Becht threw for two touchdowns and ran for one more. Becht has scored in each of his first seven games as a starter.
4 Oklahoma State
Texas Tech The Red Raiders’ luck ran dry in Lubbock. Texas Tech lost to Kansas State, 38-21, on Saturday. The Red Raiders’ depth is being tested at quarterback. Freshman Jake Strong replaced Behren Morton after Morton was injured, and Strong threw three interceptions. Morton became the starter after an injury to initial starter Tyler Shough. No. 8 may be the closest to the top of the power rankings Texas Tech can get.
TCU The Horned Frogs fended off another loss in Fort Worth, crushing BYU. The season has brought on tough times for TCU. The Frogs have been a mystery for most. Redshirt freshman quarterback Josh Hoover made his first career start, completing 37 of 58 passes for 439 yards and four touchdowns, each to a different receiver. This is the most versatile the Horned Frogs offense has looked this season. TCU finished the game with 584 yards of total offense.
10 BYU
The Cowboys couldn’t be stopped, as a win against No. 23 Kansas gave coach Mike Gundy his 39th win against an AP Top 25 team. Ollie Gordon II showed out for the home crowd at Boone Pickens Stadium. Gordon finished with 29 carries for 168 yards and a rushing touchdown. He also established himself in the Cowboy’s passing scheme, gathering six receptions for 116 yards and one touchdown. Quarterback Alan Bowman went 28-of-41 passing for 336 yards and two touchdowns.
The Cougars couldn’t get it done in Fort Worth. BYU lost to TCU, 44-11, on Saturday. BYU entered the game averaging the fewest total yards per game, only 319. This was the Cougars and Horned Frogs first matchup since 2010. The Cougars had 243 yards of total offense. With few yards on offense, a fumble and an interception, a win was not in the cards for the Cougars.
11 Baylor The Bears took a week off. Baylor got a bye week after a loss to the Red Raiders in Week 6. The Bears have struggled this season. Injuries and losses have the Bears toward the bottom of the power rankings once again. Baylor plays Cincinnati on Saturday at 11 a.m.
12 Houston The Thursday night lights brought luck for the Cougars at home. Houston beat West Virginia, 41-39, in a thriller. It came down to the wire for the Cougars. Quarterback Donovan Smith threw a 49-yard, game-winning touchdown pass as time expired. Smith finished 21-of27 for 253 yards and four touchdowns. The game was necessary for the Cougars to show they still have hopes of being successful in the Big 12.
13 UCF The Knights finally got a week off. A bye week for UCF means they escaped a loss, but also avoid a win. The Knights were giving flashes of success early in the season, but it has all gone away since the beginning of Big 12 play. UCF is looking for its first Big 12 win but may have to wait another week. UCF plays No. 6 Oklahoma at 11 a.m. Saturday.
14 Cincinnati It’s not fun to be a Bearcat in the Big 12. Cincinnati fell 30-10 to Iowa State on Saturday at home. Cincinnati faced adversity with injuries. The Bearcats had two turnovers, both from interceptions, and totaled just 214 yards on offense.

3-star offensive linemen Nuku Mafi and Semis Tonga commit to OSU Daniel Allen Staff Reporter Oklahoma State added two names to its pledge list for its 2024 recruiting class Sunday night, booting its total to 15. First came Nuku Mafi, a three-star offensive lineman, according to 247Sports, out of West High School in Salt Lake City, Utah. Later, his teammate Semisi Tonga – also a three-star prospect– announced his commitment. As of Sunday evening, with the pledges of Mafi and Tonga the Cowboys hold the 55th overall class nationally, and the 10th best in the Big 12. Here is what this means for OSU. What this means for OSU The Cowboys were the victors in two notable recruiting battles here. Mafi showcased an offer list featuring the likes of Utah, BYU, Tennessee, Nebraska, California and Arizona State. Tonga’s loist included Nebraska, Colorado, Oregon, UCLA and Washington State. OSU now holds four offensive line commitments for the 2024 class, as the aforementioned two join three-star Texarkana, Texas, prospect Caleb Hackleman and three-star Chauncey Johnson out of Lonoke, Arkansas. What OSU is getting in Mafi and Tonga A lot of size in the trenches. Mafi boasts a stature of 6-foot-4, 295 pounds, while his high school teammate, Tonga sits at 6-4, 310 pounds. Mafi was recently named as a selection for the 2024 High School Polynesian Bowl, an event based in Honolulu, Hawaii, that features the nation’s premier Polynesian high school prospects. Shortly thereafter, USC and Oregon reportedly hosted Mafi for an unofficial visit, though, no official offers followed. And for a fun factoid, this extends OSU’s lineage of recent Polynesian recruits, adding onto the list that features names such as Jaylan Warren – a running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers – Nathan Latu, Sione Asi, Mason Cobb – now a linebacker for Southern California – and Samuela Tiuihalamaka – now a defensive tackle for San Diego State. Most recently, that list added 2023 prospects Sesi Vailahi, Poasa Utu and Ricky Lolohea.

news Treatment... Continued from 1 How it works For patients, their mammogram process doesn’t change. But for the radiologists, who can often get fatigued while looking at hundreds of images during 10-hour shifts, the AI-assistance is making it easier to detect possible signs of cancer that the human eye might miss. “AI is different because it continues to learn and it sees things that are not identified by a human being, it sees adjacency and it sees things on the mammogram that our eyes and our brain can’t even perceive,” said Schilling. The 3D mammography creates four images using hundreds of stills that are converted into thin 1-millimeter images per exam. The AI system acts like a second pair of eyes. It scans the images and notifies radiologists of possible cancer spots, circling the area and giving it a number on a scale for the likelihood of cancer. The radiologist still needs to examine the image, and consider the patient’s age and risk factors, to determine whether further evaluation is needed. Is the AI system working? Schilling
said the institute reviewed 54,440 screenings it conducted pre-AI, from 2018 to 2020, and 48,742 screenings it conducted using AI from 2020 to 2022 to see how the system performed. The institute has nine breast cancer radiologists, with 22 years average experience. The results? The institute’s cancer detection rate — a sign of the screening program’s quality — increased by 23% using AI, she said. “That’s huge, I was so shocked,” said Schilling. “If you had found 100 cancers before using AI, we found 123 after using AI, a significant increase in number of cancers and we found that we were able to do that without calling more patients back.” AI usage is expected to continue expanding in healthcare. For breast cancer, Schilling believes the technology will help doctors move away from standardized age-based cancer screening guidelines to more personalized breast cancer screenings based on a patient’s individual risk factors. “We have the opportunity to enter into a new era and treatment of breast cancer,” she said. news.ed@ocolly.com

brownsshoefitstillwater browns.stillwater GOD IS TRUSTWORTHY! God is worthy of our trust! “... I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.” “...so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” (Jer.1:12,Is.55:11 NIV) Certainly from these verses it is clear that the Lord “means what he says.” When he speaks, or makes promises, he makes sure they are fulfilled. The life of Abraham shared with us in the first book of the Bible is telling us of a man who believed that God could be trusted. Abraham had to wait many years to see some of God’s promises fulfilled, and some for hundreds of years, and there was one he waited for thousands. God promised that all the world would be blessed through the offspring of Abraham. Jesus came through his natural lineage.
Jesus brought to all people the blessing of forgiveness and eternal life. God is trustworthy! “The just shall live by faith.” (Ro.1:17) The theme all through the Bible is the life of faith. The true faith mentioned in scripture has one object; that is God. We are to trust the faithful God! We are to look to this God who has proved himself over and over a faithful God, who keeps his promises. He is worthy of our trust. As we except Christ, God’s gift to us, there is forgiveness of sin. We will not be condemned at the final judgment. He promises to guide us, to comfort and strengthen us in this present life. He will make us fruitful in helping others; laying up treasure in heaven.. The challenge is to take him at his word. Put your life in his hands for he is trustworthy. He will do in and through you what he has promised.
