Medical indemnity knowledge and awareness among international medical graduates in Ireland.

Background: Medical indemnity (MI) has become an important topic in the era of increasing number of medico-legal cases in Ireland. However, there is a sensible difference in understanding and usage of medical indemnity between Irish and international medical graduates.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge and awareness of medical indemnity among international medical graduates in Ireland.

Use of Preferred Source of Contraception Among Users of the Pill, Patch, and Ring in the US.

Importance: Individuals who use contraceptive pills, patches, and rings must frequently interact with the health care system for continued and consistent use. As options for obtaining these methods expand, better understanding contraceptive users' preferences for source of contraception can help facilitate access.

Objective: To describe use of preferred source of contraception and to understand associations between prior reproductive health care experiences and preference for traditional in-person sources vs alternative sources.

Spontaneous Globe Rupture following Prolonged Uncontrolled Elevated Intraocular Pressure.

We report two glaucoma patients who experienced unusual instances of spontaneous globe rupture. The patients arrived at the Bowen University Teaching Hospital's emergency ophthalmology unit with a history of bleeding from one eye without any history of ocular trauma. They were known glaucoma patients with poor control of their intraocular pressures (IOP).

Utilizing digitized occurrence records of Midwestern feral to develop ecological niche models.

Hemp ( L.) has historically played a vital role in agriculture across the globe. Feral and wild populations have served as genetic resources for breeding, conservation, and adaptation to changing environmental conditions.

Cyclization Scaffolding for Improved Vaccine Immunogen Stability: Application to Tau Protein in Alzheimer's Disease.

Effective scaffolding of immunogens is crucial for generating conformationally selective antibodies through active immunization, particularly in the treatment of protein misfolding diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Previous computational work has revealed that a disorder-prone region of the tau protein, when in a stacked form, is predicted to structurally resemble a small, soluble protofibril, having conformational properties similar to those of experimental in vitro tau oligomers. Such an oligomeric structural mimic has the potential to serve as a vaccine immunogen design for Alzheimer's disease.
