Factors Impacting Scholarship Delay for Early Career URiM Faculty in Academic Medicine.

Background And Objectives: Academic advancement requires scholarship productivity. Faculty underrepresented in medicine (URiM) face unique challenges that hinder their scholarship productivity. We introduce the term "scholarship delay" as a phenomenon that affects early career academic faculty and describe what is known in the literature about this phenomenon among URiM faculty.

Methods to assess on-farm biosecurity in Europe and beyond.

The aim of this study was to identify which biosecurity assessment methods (BAMs) are currently used in practice in animal farms. To address this, a structured questionnaire was developed to gather information such as the animal species, main objectives, type of enforcement, output generated and feedback of the result. In the context of the BETTER Cost Action project, country representatives identified in each of their countries which BAMs were used and completed an online survey.

Empowering Future Physicians: Enhancing Naloxone Competency Through Early Harm Reduction Training in Medical Education.

Introduction: With increasing rates of fatal opioid overdoses and substance use disorders, discussing harm reduction strategies in undergraduate medical education is imperative. Medical students learn opioid pharmacology but often lack adequate training in recognizing and responding to opioid overdoses. Incorporating naloxone training into preclinical undergraduate medical education can be lifesaving.

Comparison of four commercial serological tests for the detection of Leishmania infantum antibodies in dogs.
