Article Synopsis
- Anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) is an effective method for generating hydrogen using affordable renewable energy sources, and recent improvements have been made in its efficiency and durability.* -
- The study focuses on how the design and integration of materials in the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), especially in the anode catalyst layer, influence overall performance and efficiency.* -
- Results show that a higher loading of catalysts with good electronic conductivity and uniform layers can significantly enhance performance, boosting current density by up to 55%, while less conductive or uneven layers yield minimal benefits.*
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly studied and implemented in some pathology departments; but how might AI models help change medicine? While technology leaders are calling for a pause on developing AI systems until there is greater confidence "that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable," (Pause Giant AI Experiments: An Open Letter.

Objectives: To characterize the histopathologic features of colitis in patients with impaired renal function.
Methods: We retrospectively identified 413 patients who underwent colonoscopic evaluation for colitis between 2011 and 2015. Patients were divided into four groups based on estimated glomerular filtrate rates.

Context: We use data from the College of American Pathologists Interlaboratory Comparison Program in Nongynecologic Cytology to identify common diagnostic errors in salivary gland fine-needle aspiration (FNA).
Objective: To identify salivary gland FNA cases with poor performance characteristics in the Nongynecologic Cytology Program surveys, so that the most common diagnostic pitfalls can be avoided.
Design: A retrospective review of the College of American Pathologists Nongynecologic Cytology Program's cumulative data from 1999 to 2003 revealed the most common false-positive and false-negative interpretations on FNA for common salivary gland lesions.
Context: Body cavity fluid examination presents a common and sometimes difficult diagnostic challenge in daily cytology practice. Separating benign from malignant cellular changes may require meticulous screening, careful scrutiny of cellular features, and an understanding of the range of reactive changes. We use the data from the College of American Pathologists (CAP) Interlaboratory Comparison Program in Nongynecologic Cytology (NGC) to identify characteristics of fluids that place them at opposite ends of the diagnostic spectrum.

Objective: To compare pathologists' ability to correctly identify and categorize adenocarcinoma in situ with their ability to identify and categorize adenocarcinoma, high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, and squamous cell carcinoma.
