Gender distribution of North American professional radiology society award recipients.

Purpose: Women remain underrepresented in radiology and there is a paucity of literature examining the recognition of their professional contributions to the discipline. The purpose of this study was to examine the gender distribution of award winners across all North American radiology societies.

Methods: The gender distribution of 1923 award recipients from 21 North American radiology societies between 1960 and 2021 was examined.

Applications of Next-Generation Sequencing for Large-Scale Pathogen Diagnoses in Soybean.

Soybean () has become an important crop in Manitoba, Canada, with a 10-fold increase in dedicated acreage over the past decade. Given the rapid increase in production, scarce information about foliar diseases present in the province has been recorded. In order to describe the foliar pathogens affecting this legume, we harnessed next-generation sequencing (NGS) to carry out a comprehensive survey across Manitoba in 2016.

Molecular evidence for the inhibition of cytochrome p450s and cholinesterases in ticks by the repellent DEET.

For more than 50 years DEET (N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide) has been considered the gold standard of repellents. It is applied to the skin or clothing to deter mosquitoes and other blood-sucking invertebrate pests from approaching and/or settling, and ultimately it provides temporary protection from bites. Despite rampant global use, surprisingly little is understood about DEET's mode of action and the molecular targets of the active ingredient.
