Article Synopsis
- - This text discusses a study on bryophyte herbarium material that inadvertently includes fungi, providing insights into the ecology of these plants over time and space.
- - The research discovered new records of a specific bryophilous ascomycete fungus, broadening its known distribution from Europe to Alaska, based on a review of over 400 specimens across four herbaria.
- - The findings highlight the significance of herbarium collections in revealing unexpected associations between bryophytes and fungi, emphasizing that bryophytes can be crucial indicators of ecological changes, especially in threatened habitats.
Background: Ultrasound technology has become integral in antenatal care for its diagnostic effectiveness and potential to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes. Despite its proven benefits, challenges persist in its widespread adoption, particularly in low-resource settings like Kenya.
Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the perspectives of healthcare providers regarding the integration of obstetric point-of-care ultrasound into routine maternal services in low-level facilities Kenya.
Background: Ultrasound is a crucial and effective diagnostic tool in medicine. Recent advancements in technology have led to increased use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). Access to ultrasound equipment and training programs in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) is limited.

Methods: We implemented a longitudinal point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training program at a new Family Medicine residency in Zambia and subsequently evaluated residents' perceptions on the impact of POCUS in patient care. Data were documented by the scanning resident via a post-scan survey, which assessed if/how the scan assisted in medical management, and if/how the scan changed that management.
