In precision oncology, reliable testing of predictive molecular biomarkers is a prerequisite for optimal patient treatment. Interlaboratory comparisons are a crucial tool to verify diagnostic performance and reproducibility of one's approach. Herein is described the design and results of the first recurrent, internationally performed PIK3CA (phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3 kinase catalytic subunit α) breast cancer tissue external quality assessment (EQA), organized by German Quality in Pathology GmbH and started in 2021.

Introduction: Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is characterised by, among others, subjectively reported inter-identity amnesia, reflecting compromised information transfer between dissociative identity states. Studies have found conflicting results regarding memory transfer between dissociative identity states. Here, we investigated inter-identity amnesia in individuals with DID using self-relevant, subject specific stimuli, and behavioural and neural measures.

Article Synopsis
  • Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) are being explored as eco-friendly alternatives to traditional solvents for extracting beneficial compounds from natural sources, specifically focusing on phenolic compounds from poplar propolis.
  • The study evaluated five different NADESs for their effectiveness in extracting these compounds, finding that their chemical profiles were similar to those of extracts made with 70% ethanol.
  • Results indicated that using NADESs not only yielded good amounts of phenolic compounds but also preserved or enhanced the biological activity of the extracts, with low toxicity and variable genotoxicity compared to conventional methods.

In this research, all the published names of (Campanulaceae) in the species, subspecies, and variety ranks for populations from the Balkan and Anatolian peninsulas are reviewed, including names of taxa allied to these groups in surrounding areas. These two areas are among the main centers of diversity of the genus, albeit no recent revisions to address the regional taxonomical complexity of the genus have been published for the Balkans and Anatolia. In this work, the taxonomic status and typification of twenty-six published names are discussed, including the plethora of names within the , , and taxonomic complexes.
