Article Synopsis
- Brown seaweeds are vital to coastal ecosystems, but they are threatened by climate change, prompting a detailed genetic study.
- The research traced the evolutionary history of brown algae, highlighting significant gene families and metabolic pathways related to their adaptation and functional diversity.
- Findings also indicated that the integration of large viral genomes has played a crucial role in shaping the genetics and traits of brown algal species over time.
This paper explores personal and professional development (PPD) as a key learning domain for the future of medical education and person-centered care. Guided by existing curriculum development models and lessons learned in practice, scenarios from academic and clinical learning environments will guide a theory-driven discussion of concepts and competencies that humanize the practice of medicine, such as emotional intelligence, professional identity formation, lifelong learning and inclusive practice. Factors contributing to contemporary curriculum implementation will be informed by a case study of a PPD program delivered to post-graduate medical students in Australia and propose an action-focused series of next steps to connect past, current and future directions for medical schools and graduates.

The rapid dissemination of portable ultrasound machines has eased ultrasound-guided intravenous access and facilitated increased use of long peripheral venous catheters (LPCs). This study aimed to evaluate the clinical performance and complications of LPCs.
