The revised European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) guidance document for the risk assessment of plant protection products on honeybees requires an assessment of time-reinforced toxicity (TRT) using toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic modelling. While there are user-friendly software options available for this modelling, it is not specialised for this new application, therefore conducting the TRT assessment still requires additional manual calculations. Here we present TRTBee: a new, freely available tool which is capable of automatically performing all stages of the TRT assessment.

Objectives: Our goal was to utilize a previously developed WTC Clinical Frailty Index (CFI) to identify distinct frailty trajectories and associated factors in this cohort.
Design: A latent class mixed model evaluated frailty trajectories using WTC CFIs.
Background: People of African ancestry are overrepresented among lives lost prematurely and persons unnecessarily afflicted with the highest burden of cancer among nonindigenous Americans. Amid the growing advancements in cancer discoveries and innovations, the persistence of cancer disparities affecting Black/African American populations is particularly disturbing and disappointing.
Methods: Ashing and colleagues in the Alliance of Black Community Outreach and Engagement Scientific Directors of National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers discuss the excessive cancer burden in Black populations and propose a Cancer Moonshot-focused framework.
Objectives: To explore and describe the health outcomes and levels of environmental enrichment (EE) in participants with brain tumors after radiation therapy (RT).
Sample & Setting: 39 participants with glioma (grades 2-3) treated with RT were recruited within five years of original diagnosis from a neuro-oncology clinic.
Methods & Variables: A cross-sectional design was employed.
Objectives: This study examined physical fitness differences among Latino youth by place of birth (POB) to inform culturally tailored health promotion strategies.
Study Design: Cross-sectional observational study.
Methods: We analyzed cross-sectional data from the New York City FITNESSGRAM (2006-2019) for public school Latino students (grades 4-5) with objectively measured fitness (n = 376,466).
