Objective: To evaluate potential screening mammography performance and workload impact using a commercial artificial intelligence (AI)-based triage device in a population-based screening sample.
Methods: In this retrospective study, a sample of 2129 women who underwent screening mammograms were evaluated. The performance of a commercial AI-based triage device was compared with radiologists' reports, actual outcomes, and national benchmarks using commonly used mammography metrics.
Background: There is growing recognition of the importance of sex and gender differences within falls literature, but the characterization of such literature is uncertain. The aim of this scoping review was to (1) map the nature and extent of falls literature examining sex or gender differences among older adults, and (2) identify gaps and opportunities for further research and practice.
Methods: We used a scoping review methodology.
Girls and women face persistent negative stereotyping within STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). This field intervention was designed to improve boys' perceptions of girls' STEM ability. Boys (N = 667; mostly White and East Asian) aged 9-15 years in Canadian STEM summer camps (2017-2019) had an intervention or control conversation with trained camp staff.

- During angiosperm evolution, there have been multiple shifts from dry fruits to fleshy fruits, impacting ecology and agriculture.
- Researchers explored gene expression in pericarp tissue from various plant species, focusing on domesticated and wild tomatoes alongside other plants like desert tobacco and melon.
- A small group of 121 "core" fruit development genes displayed consistent expression patterns across different species, indicating that despite significant morphological changes, these genes play a crucial role in fruit development.
Arctostaphylos (Ericaceae) species, commonly known as manzanitas, are an invaluable fire-adapted chaparral clade in the California Floristic Province (CFP), a world biodiversity hotspot on the west coast of North America. This diverse woody genus includes many rare and/or endangered taxa, and the genus plays essential ecological roles in native ecosystems. Despite their importance in conservation management, and the many ecological and evolutionary studies that have focused on manzanitas, virtually no research has been conducted on the genomics of any manzanita species.
