Context: Recent research and the majority of neuropsychological testing manuals emphasize the importance of establishing a proper relationship between the evaluator and the evaluatee. However, there is relatively little empirical research on this point.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to operationalize empathy in the evaluator/evaluatee relationship during neuropsychological assessment.

Molecular mechanisms driving clonal aggressiveness in leukemia are not fully understood. We tracked and analyzed MLL-rearranged leukemic clones independently evolving towards higher aggressiveness. More aggressive subclones lost their growth differential ex vivo but restored it upon secondary transplantation, suggesting molecular memory of aggressiveness.

Article Synopsis
  • Understanding the genetic basis of how pathogens affect plants is critical for managing fungal diseases, particularly in the context of quantitative traits rather than just strong resistance.
  • Using the Zymoseptoria tritici-wheat model, researchers identified 19 key genes linked to quantitative pathogenicity through a comprehensive genome-wide association study.
  • The study reveals that genetic diversity, driven by sequence changes and recombination, plays a significant role in how pathogens adapt and affect plants, emphasizing the importance of certain genes in influencing pathogenic traits.

[Lacrimal system trauma].

Among lacrimal system injuries, canalicular lacerations are at the top of the list. Men are more affected than women, but children are most likely to experience such trauma. The cause depends on the patient's age: in young children, there is a higher prevalence of animal bites (dogs and cats); in young adults, fights predominate, since motor vehicle accidents have become less common; in the elderly, falls are among the most frequent causes.

Background: Investigations on plant-pathogen interactions require quantitative, accurate, and rapid phenotyping of crop diseases. However, visual assessment of disease symptoms is preferred over available numerical tools due to transferability challenges. These assessments are laborious, time-consuming, require expertise, and are rater dependent.
