Anticancer therapies can induce cellular senescence or drug-tolerant persistence, two types of proliferative arrest that differ in their stability. While senescence is highly stable, persister cells efficiently resume proliferation upon therapy termination, resulting in tumor relapse. Here, we used an ATP-competitive mTOR inhibitor to induce and characterize persistence in human cancer cells of various origins.

- The study investigates how access to air-related information and awareness of public policies influence citizens' life satisfaction, particularly in relation to their perceptions of air pollution sources.
- It challenges the assumption that all individuals can readily access and interpret officially disclosed air quality information, highlighting a research gap regarding real-world information accessibility and its effects.
- Analyzing data from 1867 Beijing residents, the findings indicate that both higher information accessibility and greater policy awareness lead to improved life satisfaction, with variations noted based on perceptions of air pollution.
Article Synopsis
- Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths in Australia, and colonoscopy and polypectomy are effective preventive measures.
- The study examined risk factors, particularly focusing on metabolic conditions and BMI, in 357 individuals aged 20-85 referred for colonoscopy.
- Findings indicate a significant link between elevated BMI and colorectal neoplasia, highlighting the need for public health initiatives targeting diet and weight management in an overweight population.
Introduction And Problem Statement: A chief resident's role incorporates administrative, academic, and interpersonal responsibilities essential to managing a successful residency program. However, rising chief residents receive little formal exposure to leadership training.
Objectives: To (1) define leadership styles; (2) understand the effect of cultural competence on leadership styles; (3) learn effective methods to advocate as the chief resident; (4) provide effective peer feedback; (5) provide effective supervisor feedback; (6) learn effective conflict management; (7) ensure psychological safety.
Background: Although it is well-known that intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with physical and psychological morbidity, there is scant data on factors influencing social engagement after ICH. Understanding the relationship between functionality, psychological outcome and social engagement post-bleed may facilitate identification of patients at high risk for social isolation after ICH.
Methods: Patients ≥18-years-old with non-traumatic ICH from January 2015-March 2023 were identified from the Neurological Emergencies Outcomes at NYU (NEON) registry.
