Purpose: To examine the characteristics between virtual multiple mini-interview (vMMI) and in-person interviews (ipMMI) in regard to difference in performance between applicant-reported gender identity and racial groups.
Methods: Retrospective multiple mini-interview (MMI) data from two vMMI interview cycles (2021 and 2022) consisting of 627 applicants and four ipMMI cycles (2017-2020) consisting of 2248 applicants. Comparisons were made between applicant subgroups including reported gender (male and female) and minority status (URiM and non-URiM).
Article Synopsis
- Kaposi sarcoma (KS) punch biopsies make it difficult to extract nucleic acids, especially when stabilized in RNAlater for extended periods.
- The protocol provided outlines how to isolate DNA, RNA, and miRNA from a single KS punch biopsy effectively.
- Detailed steps include preparing reagents, tissue disruption methods, nucleic acid isolation and quality assessment, as well as long-term storage instructions.
Context: Public interest in sport-related medical conditions is known to be affected by social media and pop cultural coverage. The purpose of this project was to assess the relationship between popular culture concerning chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and analyze of how often this topic was searched on the internet.

Article Synopsis
- Children with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) have a high risk of developing drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), making it crucial to identify those at greatest risk for timely management.
- The study analyzed data from 70 infants with TSC to evaluate the relationship between specific TSC genotypes and the likelihood of experiencing DRE, using a variety of statistical methods.
- Findings revealed that TSC2 pathogenic variants were strongly linked to DRE, with all DRE cases found in participants carrying TSC2 mutations; in contrast, TSC1 variants were associated with later-onset epilepsy, highlighting important differences in risk profiles.
