Article Synopsis
  • The study discusses a patient with metastatic breast cancer who has a genetic mutation in the PALB2 gene, which is linked to DNA repair processes.
  • The patient developed resistance to a class of drugs known as PARP inhibitors (PARPi) after initial treatment, raising concerns about treatment effectiveness.
  • Researchers found that the cancer evolved in multiple ways (convergent evolution) to develop this resistance, highlighting the complexity of managing cancer treatments over time.

Purpose: Novel approaches are needed to ensure all patients with cancer have access to quality genetic education before genetic testing to enable informed treatment decisions. The purpose of this study was to test the use of an artificial intelligence (AI) intervention for the delivery of genetic education by non-genetic providers to patients with cancer undergoing active treatment.

Methods: A conversational AI-based application was developed on the HealthFAX platform to provide tailored genetic education to patients with cancer and tested at Johns Hopkins Hospital between April 2021 and Feb 2022.

Background: Rootstocks less vigorous are among the most crucial management techniques to modernize fruit cultivation. Replanting with fallow land has become necessary due to a lack of land to establish new orchards.

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of various rootstocks of the American Geneva® series on the yield performance of the apple ( Borkh) cultivars 'Gala Select' and 'Fuji Suprema' under replanting conditions in southern Brazil.

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of yeast-derived postbiotic (YDP) supplementation in sow diets during late gestation and lactation on the performance of sows and their offspring. At 90-d gestation, 150 sows (Landrace × Large White, parity: 3.93 ± 0.

Article Synopsis
  • A study investigated the effects of a postbiotic feed additive on foodborne pathogens in poultry compared to a standard control diet on a commercial broiler farm in Honduras.
  • The results showed that while litter prevalence of pathogens was similar for both diets, the postbiotic group had a significantly lower pathogen load in positive samples and cecal prevalence compared to the control group.
  • Overall, the use of postbiotics in broiler diets appears to effectively reduce the burden of foodborne pathogens before harvest.
