The association between physician sex and patient outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Some prior studies have found that patients treated by female physicians may experience better outcomes, as well as lower healthcare costs than those treated by male physicians. Physician-patient sex concordance may also contribute to better patient outcomes. However, other studies have not identified a significant difference.

Gender and Authorship in Annals of Surgery: A nineteen-year review including the pandemic.

Objective: We examined article submission data from the Annals of Surgery to assess gender bias in publishing.

Background: Medicine has long been a male-dominated practice, particularly in surgical fields. A key criterion for promotion in academic medicine is the publication record.

Neuroethics hackathons bridge theory to practice.

Ethical practice is a vital component in neuroscience innovation, and that practice must reflect the interests of society. However, truly ethical and responsible innovation may require moving beyond current theory toward more creative and imaginative approaches. Here, we present neuroethics hackathons as a case study in bridging theory to practice.

A relay race of ESCRT-III paralogs drives cell division in a hyperthermophilic archaeon.

Unlabelled: Cell division is a fundamental process ensuring the perpetuation of all cellular life forms. Archaea of the order Sulfolobales divide using a simpler version of the eukaryotic endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) machinery, composed of three ESCRT-III homologs (ESCRT-III, -III-1, and -III-2), AAA+ ATPase Vps4 and an archaea-specific component CdvA. Here, we clarify how these components act sequentially to drive the division of the hyperthermophilic archaeon .

Stakeholder perspectives on the costs and benefits of circular construction.

The construction industry significantly impacts the environment through natural resource depletion and energy consumption, leading to environmental degradation. Circular Economy (CE) material efficiency strategies-such as material reuse, design for disassembly, prefabrication, and recycling-offer promising solutions for reducing resource consumption and waste. This paper explores stakeholders' perspectives on the costs and benefits of implementing CE material efficiency strategies in the construction industry, using the 3-R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) framework.
