Introduction: Personalized medicine has revolutionized the clinical management of patients with solid tumors. However, the large volumes of molecular data derived from next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the lack of harmonized bioinformatics pipelines drastically impact the clinical management of patients with solid tumors. A possible solution to streamline the molecular interpretation and reporting of NGS data would be to adopt automated data analysis software.

Between May 2022 and September 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe engaged in a collaborative effort with affected communities to address the outbreak of mpox in the region. This concerted endeavor led to the development of a risk communication campaign specifically tailored to address the perceptions and needs of the target audience, thereby contributing to the control and the long-term goal of mpox elimination. Various community engagement interventions were implemented, including the establishment of an informal civil society organizations' working group to provide feedback on the WHO mpox campaign, webinars targeting event organizers, and roundtable discussions with country-level responders.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how social factors, like group contact and implicit racial bias, affect eye movements while judging the aesthetic value of paintings featuring White and Black sitters.
  • Participants in a Liverpool gallery viewed ten artworks while their eye movements were tracked and completed surveys on art interest and social experiences with both communities.
  • Findings showed that most participants found Black sitter paintings more emotionally engaging, but those with less contact and negative biases viewed them less favorably, focusing more on faces and spending more time on those paintings.
