Genetic variation in age-dependent attractiveness in a fish with a mixed mating system.

Reproductive senescence is common across taxa and females often show a predictable decline in fecundity after maturity. Attending to these age-dependent cues could help males make optimal mate choice decisions. Here, we examined reproductive senescence and male mate choice in the androdioecious mangrove rivulus (), where self-fertilizing hermaphrodites exist with rare males.

Breast cylindroma: A rare and unexpected diagnosis.

Cylindroma is a benign adnexal tumor histologically characterized by clusters of small basaloid cells arranged in a pattern resembling a jigsaw puzzle. Breast cylindromas are extremely rare with approximately 20 reported cases throughout literature. We present a case of a 71-year-old female with a slow growing cystic breast mass, originally identified 8 years prior to biopsy.

Geriatric Trauma Intensive Care Unit Admission Guideline Is Associated With Reduction in Unplanned Intensive Care Unit Admissions.

Introduction: Geriatric trauma patients experience disproportionate adverse outcomes compared to younger patients with similar injuries and represent an important target for quality improvement. Our institution created a Geriatric Trauma Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Admission Guideline to identify high-risk patients and elevate their initial level of care. The goal of implementation was reducing unplanned ICU admissions (UIAs), a recognized surrogate marker for adverse outcomes.

The effectiveness of psychiatric genetic counseling training: An analysis of 13 international workshops.

Studies have consistently shown that psychiatric genetic counseling (pGC) helps people with psychiatric conditions by increasing empowerment and self-efficacy, and addressing emotions like guilt. Yet, it is not routinely provided. Genetic counselors and trainees express low confidence in their ability to provide meaningful pGC, especially in the absence of adequate training.
