Background: Several health institutions developed strategies to improve health content on Wikimedia platforms given their unparalleled reach. The objective of this study was to compare an online volunteer-based Wikimedia outreach campaign with university course Wikipedia assignments (both focused on improving hearing health content in Wikimedia's public digital knowledge archives), in terms of the reach of the contributions and the extent of the participants' input. A secondary objective was to examine the feasibility and the implementation of the different strategies.

Hexosomes (HEXs) are nanoparticles formed by dispersing a lipid reverse hexagonal phase in water. Although they have attracted a great interest in the development of delivery systems, few lipids have been employed in their production. Galactolipids, especially monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG), are the main lipid constituents of plants and can be obtained from vegetal biomass, making them good candidates for the obtention of HEXs.

Article Synopsis
  • * A 38-year-old man developed severe Fournier's gangrene linked to an initial perianal abscess, which deteriorated to septic shock and multiple organ failure despite aggressive treatment efforts including surgery and antibiotic therapy.
  • * The diagnosis of perianal tuberculosis was confirmed through biopsies, highlighting the need for awareness of its potential role in complicated cases of Fournier's gangrene and the challenges in managing such coexisting conditions.

In terrestrial vertebrates, the olfactory system is divided into main (MOS) and accessory (AOS) components that process both volatile and nonvolatile cues to generate appropriate behavioral responses. While much is known regarding the molecular diversity of neurons that comprise the MOS, less is known about the AOS. Here, focusing on the vomeronasal organ (VNO), the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), and the medial amygdala (MeA), we reveal that populations of neurons in the AOS can be molecularly subdivided based on their ongoing or prior expression of the transcription factors Foxp2 or Dbx1, which delineate separate populations of GABAergic output neurons in the MeA.
