Participation in technical/research internships may improve undergraduate graduation rates and persistence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), yet little is known about the benefits of these activities a) for community college students, b) when hosted by national laboratories, and c) beyond the first few years after the internship. We applied Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) to investigate alumni perspectives about how CCI at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) impacted their academic/career activities. We learned that alumni had low confidence and expectations of success in STEM as community college students.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a digital twin-inspired monitoring system that improves accuracy in smart healthcare by using a hybrid modeling approach, particularly to monitor and predict dengue fever susceptibility.
- It utilizes advanced technologies like IoT, k-means clustering, and artificial neural networks for real-time observation and predictions about the risk of dengue infection.
- The experimental results show high performance metrics, including a classification accuracy of 92.86% and a significant 48% reduction in prediction errors, highlighting the system's effectiveness in identifying health vulnerabilities related to dengue.
Article Synopsis
- * Laboratory tests indicated he had acute kidney injury (AKI) along with low sodium, calcium, and potassium levels.
- * A kidney biopsy showed significant damage and a genetic test confirmed Bartter syndrome, leading to treatment with IV hydration and supplements, resulting in recovery from AKI.
Background: With the availability of whole slide digital scanners, fairly accurate glomerular diameter (GD) measurements are now possible on light microscopy. The value of these measurements in prognosis and diagnosis of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) have not been studied widely. IgAN is a major cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide, and its progression is currently assessed using Oxford scores, serum creatinine, and 24-h urinary protein.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a prospective, multicentre study in seven hospitals in West Malaysia. All the adults admitted in March 2017 fulfilling Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria for AKI were included.
