Experiential learning activities help students prepare for their future careers by providing opportunities for hands‑on practice experiencing real‑world scenarios. Innovations in technology can facilitate experiential learning and cross‑cultural connections for large groups of students in multiple global settings through a virtual platform. However, designing these opportunities with diverse groups of students for a virtual environment can be challenging.

This analysis explored changes to network contacts among people who inject drugs (PWID) in the San Diego Border Region (SDBR) by cross-border mobility before and during the COVID-19 era.
Methods: Baseline data collected between October 2020-2021, from a cohort study of PWID in the SDBR were used to retrospectively describe differences in baseline characteristics across cross-border PWID groups (cross-border PWID [CB-PWID]: = 206; San Diego PWID [SD-PWID]: = 203; Tijuana PWID [TJ-PWID]: = 202).
Article Synopsis
- Scientists are working hard to create a vaccine for hepatitis C, a virus that still affects many people worldwide despite better treatments.!
- The paper talks about different types of vaccine approaches, like using inactivated virus or newer methods like DNA and mRNA, to find the best way to prevent infection.!
- Developing a safe and effective vaccine is challenging because the virus can change a lot and trick the immune system, but there’s hope with new technologies and research progress.!
Article Synopsis
- Brewer's spent yeast (BSY) is a beneficial protein source for fish feed, but accurate digestibility measurements for fish like salmon are lacking due to method inconsistencies.
- This study aimed to get reliable digestibility coefficients (ADC) for BSY nutrients by using both stripping and decantation methods for fecal sample collection, improving on previous measurements.
- The results showed a higher ADC for BSY crude protein at 77.6% and gross energy at 57.9%, making BSY a more viable ingredient for aquafeeds than previously thought.
Background And Aims: Familial inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) history is a controversial prognostic factor in IBD. We aimed to evaluate the impact of a familial history of IBD on the use of medical and surgical treatments in the biological era.
Methods: Patients included in the prospectively maintained ENEIDA database and diagnosed with IBD after 2005 were included.
