Introduction: The value of Source Data Verification (SDV) has been a common theme in the applied Clinical Translational Science literature. Yet, few published assessments of SDV quality exist even though they are needed to design risk-based and reduced monitoring schemes. This review was conducted to identify reports of SDV quality, with a specific focus on accuracy.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a debilitating illness consisting of obsessions and compulsions. OCD severity and treatment response are correlated with avoidant behaviors thought be performed to alleviate obsession-related anxiety. However, little is known about either the role of avoidance in the development of OCD or the interplay between anxiety states and avoidance behaviors.

Article Synopsis
  • Whole wheat consumption has been shown to improve blood sugar levels, but its effectiveness can vary significantly among individuals, indicating that one-size-fits-all dietary recommendations may not be ideal.
  • A planned randomized controlled trial (RCT) will investigate how gut microbiota and metabolome profiles predict improvements in glucose tolerance from whole wheat consumption in adults with prediabetes.
  • The study hypothesizes that eating wheat bread will enhance gut health and metabolism, leading to better glucose regulation, while also aiming to create personalized dietary guidelines based on individual responses to whole grain intake.

Correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) pipelines serve to integrate the imaging modalities of fluorescence light microscopy (FLM) and cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to produce contextually relevant high-resolution structural snapshots of biological systems. Innovations in sample preparation, instrumentation, imaging, and data processing have advanced the field of cryo-EM. This review focuses on prior work and recent developments in the field of cryo- EM that support further integration of technologies for correlative microscopy workflows.
