Significance: Current super-resolution imaging techniques allow for a greater understanding of cellular structures; however, they are often complex or only have the ability to image a few cells at once. This small field of view (FOV) may not represent the behavior across the entire sample, and manual selection of regions of interest (ROIs) may introduce bias. It is possible to stitch and tile many small ROIs; however, this can result in artifacts across an image.

Australia's 2019/20 bushfire season was one of the most severe on record, from both land mass burned and the economic impact. This extreme weather season allowed the researchers to examine the effect of high PM exposure during high bushfire days on birthweight and gestational age. It is well known that bushfire smoke is harmful to human health.

Background And Objectives: Accredited neurosurgery fellowship training is available in 10 subspecialties and can sometimes be completed during the postgraduate year (PGY)-7 residency year. However, it is not clear whether there are sufficient residency graduates to fill the number of positions available, and residency curriculum structure to support enfolded training is evolving.

Methods: Detailed information about the 117 accredited neurosurgery residency programs and the 282 accredited neurosurgery fellowships was obtained from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and Committee on Advanced Subspecialty Training, respectively.

The proportion of women surgeons is increasing, but studies show that women in surgical residency are granted less autonomy than men. We utilized the Surgical Autonomy Program (SAP), an educational framework, to evaluate gender differences in self-reported autonomy, attending-reported autonomy, and operative feedback among US neurosurgical residents. The SAP tracks resident progression and guides teaching in neurosurgery.

The objective of this study was primarily to assess the different performance impacts of two ionophore coccidiostats (narasin and salinomycin) used to manage coccidiosis. While both products may be efficacious in controlling disease challenges, previous literature has suggested that some ionophores are less well tolerated by the broiler chickens. In this study, we were particularly interested to know how the use of different coccidiostat programs translates into broiler health and performance, as measured by zootechnical parameters such as the feed conversion ratio, average daily gain, and final body weight.
