Growth-Promoting Endophytes as Immunity Booster for Brassica juncea against Insect Attack.

Endophytes play a pivotal role in plant growth, metabolism, and defense mechanisms. Many of these endophytes are known to promote plant growth and/or contribute in stress alleviation by producing an array of secondary metabolites and phytohormones. In agroecosystem, plants are continuously exposed to various biotic stressors which affect their growth and development as well as quality and quantity of the crop.

Red teaming ChatGPT in medicine to yield real-world insights on model behavior.

Red teaming, the practice of adversarially exposing unexpected or undesired model behaviors, is critical towards improving equity and accuracy of large language models, but non-model creator-affiliated red teaming is scant in healthcare. We convened teams of clinicians, medical and engineering students, and technical professionals (80 participants total) to stress-test models with real-world clinical cases and categorize inappropriate responses along axes of safety, privacy, hallucinations/accuracy, and bias. Six medically-trained reviewers re-analyzed prompt-response pairs and added qualitative annotations.

Improving access to epilepsy surgery: a review of the global praxis, implementation science, and relevant policy frameworks.

Objective: In this review of experiences across the world, the authors aim to demonstrate a roadmap to success in initiating epilepsy surgery programs. The goal of closing the gap of underutilization and inequitable access to epilepsy surgery requires an understanding of potential solutions and evaluation of best practices from a broad range of literature.

Methods: The PubMed and Global Index Medicus databases were systematically queried for eligible articles relevant to the topic.

Metabolic Cause of Cirrhosis Is the Emerging Etiology for Primary Liver Cancer in the Asia-Oceania Region: Analysis of Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021.

Introduction: Studies have shown a change in the etiological profile of liver cancer globally. We aimed to analyze the burden and changes in etiology of liver cancer in the Asia-Oceania region.

Methods: The burden of liver cancer in Asia-Oceania was estimated using data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study.
