A re-evaluation of gender bias in receptiveness to scientific evidence of gender bias.

Gender bias has been documented in many aspects of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) careers, yet efforts to identify the underlying causes have been inconclusive. To what extent do cognitive biases, including unequal receptiveness in women and men to evidence of gender bias, contribute to gender bias in STEM? We investigated receptiveness in a STEM context among members of the general public, by undertaking a high-powered (total = 1171) replication, including three experiments (2 pre-registered) of the prominent study by Handley . [22].

Insufficient Impact: Limited Implementation of Federal Regulatory Changes to Methadone and Buprenorphine Access in Arizona During COVID-19.

Introduction: This study examined the impact of federal regulatory changes on methadone and buprenorphine treatment during COVID-19 in Arizona.

Methods: A cohort study of methadone and buprenorphine providers from September 14, 2021 to April 15, 2022 measured the proportion of 6 treatment accommodations implemented at 3 time periods: before COVID-19, during Arizona's COVID-19 shutdown, and at the time of the survey completion. Accommodations included (1) telehealth, (2) telehealth buprenorphine induction, (3) increased multiday dosing, (4) license reciprocity, (5) home medications delivery, and (6) off-site dispensing.

Understanding the malignant potential of gastric metaplasia of the oesophagus and its relevance to Barrett's oesophagus surveillance: individual-level data analysis.

Objective: Whether gastric metaplasia (GM) of the oesophagus should be considered as Barrett's oesophagus (BO) is controversial. Given concern intestinal metaplasia (IM) may be missed due to sampling, the UK guidelines include GM as a type of BO. Here, we investigated whether the risk of misdiagnosis and the malignant potential of GM warrant its place in the UK surveillance.

Varying plantain content in temperate ryegrass-white clover pastures affects urinary-nitrogen excretion of non-lactating dairy cows.

Dairy cow urine patches contain high rates of nitrogen (N; >500 kg N/ha) and represent the main source of N loss from grazed pastoral systems. Emerging research has identified plantain (Plantago lanceolata) as a key forage to potentially reduce urine N (UN) losses from dairy cows. This experiment examined the effect of increasing proportions of plantain in the diet of dairy cows on UN excretion relative to a ryegrass-white clover diet.
