Artificial intelligence in clinical and translational science: Successes, challenges and opportunities.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming many domains, including finance, agriculture, defense, and biomedicine. In this paper, we focus on the role of AI in clinical and translational research (CTR), including preclinical research (T1), clinical research (T2), clinical implementation (T3), and public (or population) health (T4). Given the rapid evolution of AI in CTR, we present three complementary perspectives: (1) scoping literature review, (2) survey, and (3) analysis of federally funded projects.

Draft genome assembly of Passalora sequoiae a needle blight pathogen on Leyland cypress.

Objective: Passalora sequoiae (family Mycosphaerellaceae) causes a twig blight on Leyland cypress that requires numerous fungicide applications annually to minimize economic losses for ornamental plant nursery and Christmas tree producers. The objective was to generate a high-quality draft assembly of the genome of P. sequoiae as a resource for primer development to investigate genotype diversity.

Severe ectopic Cushing's syndrome.

We present a rare case of severe ectopic Cushing's syndrome in a 39-year-old woman with a rapid onset of signs and symptoms and severe hypokalemia. Further workup demonstrated an adrenocorticotropic hormone-secreting metastatic high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma.

Genetic Diversity and Conservation Status of , an Endangered Sunflower of the Southern United States.

Evaluating species diversity and patterns of population genetic variation is an essential aspect of conservation biology to determine appropriate management strategies and preserve the biodiversity of native plants. Habitat fragmentation and potential habitat loss are often an outcome of a reduction in naturally occurring wildfires and controlled prescribed burning, as seen in (whorled sunflower). This endangered, wild relative of the common sunflower, , is endemic to four locations in Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee, United States.
