Background: Education research, as a field of study, is relatively new to the health professions. Research and scholarship in prosthetics and orthotics education is limited, and the priority areas and needs of individuals interested in pursuing this area of research and scholarship are unknown.
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to collaboratively identify the areas in which education research in prosthetics and orthotics is needed, to prioritize these areas, and to evaluate the resources needed to support those interested in pursuing education research.
The production of allelochemicals by the toxigenic dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella is one of the suggested mechanisms to facilitate its bloom formation and persistence by outcompeting other phototrophic protists and reducing grazing pressure. In Southern California, toxic events caused by A. catenella and paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) regularly impact coastal ecosystems; however, the trophic interactions and mechanisms promoting this species in a food web context are still not fully understood.

- Bladder cancer incidence and mortality rates have remained stable over the past 20 years, with around 40% of high-risk nonmuscle invasive cases recurring or progressing.
- In 2021, an estimated 83,532 newly diagnosed bladder cancer patients in the USA faced treatment costs totaling approximately $2.6 billion, with costs varying significantly by disease stage.
- The economic analysis indicates that treating recurrent cases adds about $3.9 billion, leading to a total estimated treatment cost exceeding $6.5 billion for both newly diagnosed and recurrent patients, highlighting the financial impact of the disease.
An unusual presentation of peripheral ameloblastoma in the maxilla.

Peripheral ameloblastoma (PA) is believed to be the rarest variant of ameloblastoma and only has been described in isolated case reports. PA is usually confined to the soft tissues surrounding the supporting tissues of the teeth. Although it manifests nonaggressive behavior and can be treated with complete removal by local surgical excision, long term follow up is mandatory to prevent future recurrence and possible malignant transformation.

Although many patients respond, recurrence and progression are common. In addition, patients may be unable to receive induction + maintenance due to intolerance or supply issues.
