Objective: Multifocal epilepsy is an important subtype of epilepsy, but it is sometimes difficult to recognise in general clinical practice. Distinguishing (uni)focal from multifocal drug resistant epilepsy is important when considering surgical resection. The presence of multiple discrete autonomous epileptogenic zones may limit surgical options to neuromodulation or palliative resection.

In the development of such communities, cell specialization is not only important to respond and adapt to the local environment but has the potential to increase the fitness of the clonal community through division of labor. Here, we examine colony development in a yeast strain (F13) that produces colonies with a highly structured "ruffled" phenotype in the colony periphery and an unstructured "smooth" phenotype in the colony center.

- Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is a condition affecting infants due to in-utero exposure to substances, particularly opioids, and can cause long-term developmental issues; interdisciplinary teams can help mitigate these effects but often lack adequate training and support.* -
- Project SCOPE aimed to enhance the capabilities of providers working with NAS-affected families by training 14 sites in the ECHO model and SCOPE curriculum, which they implemented over 2019-2022, reaching about 9,392 individuals in 33 states.* -
- Analysis of participant surveys revealed high satisfaction (96.4%) with the sessions, significant gains in knowledge and skills related to NAS, and increased motivation to work with affected populations; nearly
