- * Between 2004 and 2022, MRI awarded scholarships to 405 individuals, and those who received funding had significantly lower dropout rates compared to national averages: 0% for graduate students and 2.2% for medical students.
- * The initiative also showed that awardees were more likely to stay in the hematology-oncology field than national minority averages, with 14.4% of medical students and 88.5% of early-career
Background: Up to 30% of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 report disabling symptoms 2 years after the infection. Over 100 persistent symptoms have been associated with Post-Acute COVID-19 Symptoms (PACS) and/or long-COVID, showing a significant clinical heterogeneity. To develop effective, patient-targeted treatment, a better understanding of underlying mechanisms is needed.

This study explores characteristics of the national TECS population, evaluates implementation and sustainability of TECS, and analyzes possible associations and effects of demographic characteristics and social determinants of health on being diagnosed with a vision-threatening (VT) disease.
Design: Implementation and sustainability of TECS from 2015 to 2022 were examined along with the sociodemographic characteristics of veterans served through TECS in 2021.
Article Synopsis
- Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and fibromyalgia (FM) share overlapping symptoms and autonomic dysfunction, particularly in the sympathetic nervous system.
- A systematic review analyzed 37 studies with a total of 1,837 participants to assess adrenergic function, revealing significant differences in adrenaline and adrenergic receptor expression in ME/CFS patients compared to healthy controls.
- The results suggest that ME/CFS patients have elevated adrenergic markers at rest and show notable responses post-exercise, while FM patients displayed an altered adrenaline response during physical activity, indicating distinct underlying mechanisms for these conditions.
Introduction: Off-label underdosed direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are commonly utilised in Asian patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) since they are prone to bleeding with OACs. However, the efficacy and safety of off-label underdosing DOACs are controversial. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of off-label underdosed DOACs in Asian patients with AF.
