Kasaai et al describe the career trajectories of embedded scientists trained through the Health System Impact Fellowship (HSIF), showing that 37% of 2017-2019 HSIF alumni continue as embedded researchers in health systems. These findings suggest that the HSIF program effectively supports career readiness in health services and policy research (HSPR). Similarly, the Network of Scholars (NoS) program, launched post-pandemic in Nova Scotia, mirrors these results, with alumni continuing in embedded roles and mentoring a new cohort of learners from undergraduate to postgraduate levels.

Purpose: Treatment response assessment for gliomas currently uses changes in tumour size as measured with T- and T-weighted MRI. However, changes in tumour size may occur many weeks after therapy completion and are confounded by radiation treatment effects. Advanced MRI techniques sensitive to tumour physiology may provide complementary information to evaluate tumour response at early timepoints during therapy.

Animal scavenging on human remains presents a major challenge at a forensic scene. These lasting changes can influence the interpretation of a post-mortem interval, the overall state of the remains and any associated evidence, impacting the integrity of the scene. Therefore, identifying taphonomic related changes due to animal scavenging is important to understand the post-deposition sequence of events.

Article Synopsis
  • * Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks essential hormone receptors and has significantly lower 5-year survival rates compared to other breast cancer types, along with higher relapse rates within a few years post-diagnosis.
  • * Research indicates that breast adipose-derived secretome (ADS) from obese patients enhances TNBC cell invasiveness and JAG1 expression more than ADS from non-obese patients, emphasizing the need for new treatments targeting TNBC in overweight individuals.
