Background: Children and youth in out-of-home care (OOHC) have significant behavioral health needs and may not receive relevant treatment. While the literature has urged implementation of standardized assessment of behavioral health needs, and specifically mental, emotional and social wellbeing, for these children and youth, little is known about the extent to which these needs improve over time.
Objective: The study purpose was to examine whether improvement in functioning was detected over time based on Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) scores, and how scores improved over time.
Background: Applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine are expanding every year. AI education is crucial to its appropriate use in healthcare; however, most US medical schools lack a dedicated AI curriculum. These resources are sparse for international medical graduates (IMGs).

To strengthen the pipeline, the field must institute policies and practices to retain women in radiology and must effectively recruit and mentor women in medical school to enter the field. Women in medical school who are pursuing radiology, however, often struggle to find women mentors, opportunities for research, leadership, and service, and critically, often struggle to find a community that speaks to their experience.

The goal of this study is to study the synergy of anti-HER2, trastuzumab, and anti-EGFR, cetuximab, and characterize the tumor microenvironment components that may lead to increased radiation sensitivity with dual anti-HER2/EGFR therapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging ([Zr]-panitumumab and [Zr]-pertuzumab) was used to characterize EGFR and HER2 in HNSCC cell line tumors.
