Background The effects of tobacco use create a significant burden on the American healthcare system. The U.S.

Dual Mechanisms of Salinity Tolerance in Wheat Germplasm Lines W4909 and W4910.

Soil salinity adversely affects plant growth and development, reducing the yield of most crops, including wheat. The highly salt-tolerant wheat germplasm lines W4909 and W4910 were derived from a cross between two moderately salt-tolerant lines, the Chinese Spring (CS)/ disomic addition line AJDAj5 (AJ) and the Ph-inhibitor line (Ph-I) derived from CS/. Molecular markers for gene introgressions in W4909 and W4910 were not reported.

Non-RB1 germline cancer predisposing variants found in retinoblastoma patients.

Purpose: It is well known that individuals with hereditary retinoblastoma are at lifelong high risk for developing subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMN). However, the role that non- germline variants play in tumorigenesis and SMN risk has not yet been studied. The purpose of this study is to report the frequency and spectrum of non- germline cancer predisposing variants in individuals with retinoblastoma (RB).

Autofluorescence Virtual Staining System for H&E Histology and Multiplex Immunofluorescence Applied to Immuno-Oncology Biomarkers in Lung Cancer.

Virtual staining for digital pathology has great potential to enable spatial biology research, improve efficiency and reliability in the clinical workflow, as well as conserve tissue samples in a non-destructive manner. In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility of generating virtual stains for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and a multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) immuno-oncology panel (DAPI, PanCK, PD-L1, CD3, CD8) from autofluorescence images of unstained non-small cell lung cancer tissue by combining high-throughput hyperspectral fluorescence microscopy and machine learning. Using domain-specific computational methods, we evaluated the accuracy of virtual H&E for histologic subtyping and virtual mIF for cell segmentation-based measurements, including clinically-relevant measurements such as tumor area, T cell density, and PD-L1 expression (tumor proportion score and combined positive score).

Group text messaging as a residency teaching tool in outpatient neurology and headache: A mixed-methods observational study.

Objective: To assess the feasibility and efficacy of group text messaging as a teaching tool to improve neurology resident knowledge and clinical pearl dissemination in an outpatient setting enriched with headache encounters, and to evaluate if learning points from this teaching method would influence resident care of subsequent patients.

Background: Inpatient neurology teaching during training is most often accomplished in team settings during rounds or conferences such as morning report, but outpatient teaching where headache is more likely encountered may be less consistently performed in such a setting where learning points may be shared. Few studies have evaluated whether group text messaging can be an innovative tool for teaching in residency training.
