Article Synopsis
- A team of over 180 researchers from more than 40 countries is addressing the issues related to "phantom agents," which are proposed pathogenic agents that are listed without concrete evidence of their existence.
- These phantom agents, identified only through symptoms and lacking proper isolates or genetic data, create obstacles for trade and plant certification, making effective detection and risk assessment difficult.
- The researchers recommend removing these agents from regulatory lists and updating standards in line with modern diagnostic methods to facilitate germplasm exchange and support global agriculture.
Objective: Studies have shown that a growing number of people with epilepsy belong to minority groups and experience health disparities. Inclusivity in clinical trial enrollment is essential for advancing health access but has not been well studied among epilepsy trials. The objective of this study was to analyze US epilepsy clinical trials to identify the prevalence and trends associated with race and sex enrollment disparities.

- - Ameboma is a rare complication from invasive amebiasis caused by a specific intestinal protozoan, leading to tumor-like inflammatory masses in the lower right abdomen.
- - Symptoms can vary but often include intestinal obstruction and gastrointestinal bleeding, and while imaging techniques like CT and ultrasound can reveal colonic masses, biopsy remains the most reliable way to diagnose ameboma.
- - Treatment generally involves targeting the protozoan causing the infection, with surgery being necessary for severe cases like intestinal obstruction or other serious complications.
. This study aimed to evaluate two real-time target tracking approaches for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) based on foundation artificial intelligence models..

- This study explores the outcomes and management of pediatric auditory brainstem implantation (ABI) for children with severe inner ear malformations, aiming to unify clinical practices and address current challenges.
- A systematic review of relevant findings from the Third International Pediatric ABI Symposium analyzed data from multiple countries, highlighting trends in auditory outcomes, surgical approaches, and rehabilitation strategies.
- Key conclusions emphasize the need for standardized guidelines and improved collaboration among healthcare professionals to enhance patient outcomes and guide future research in this specialized field.
