Individuals who are at risk of not achieving a full milk supply are often overlooked in scientific literature.

Teleradiology offers radiologists an opportunity to contribute to global health and support hospital systems in low-resource regions remotely. Challenges can occur when determining how to integrate the new remote worklist, how radiologists will view and report exams, and how a US host site can ensure safety and privacy across the different systems.

We tested whether this superiority holds in more challenging conditions. Two groups of forensic facial professionals (examiners, reviewers) and untrained participants were tested in three lab-based tasks: other-race face identification, disguised face identification, and face memory.

Mitapivat, a first-in-class, oral, allosteric activator of pyruvate kinase, improves red blood cell survival by increasing ATP and diminishes sickling by decreasing 2,3-diphosphoglycerate. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitapivat in patients with sickle cell disease.
