Article Synopsis
  • - Undergraduate students at UCLA conducted research using RNA interference (RNAi) and fluorescent proteins to pinpoint genes crucial for blood cell development in fruit flies, screening around 3,500 genes and finding 137 that affected hematopoiesis.
  • - By targeting RNAi to different cell types involved in blood cell maturation, the researchers identified specific gene subsets that either facilitate or inhibit this process, revealing new insights into gene functions related to RNA processing and vesicular trafficking.
  • - The CURE (Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience) model not only enhanced students' understanding and skills in science but also improved retention rates in STEM fields, demonstrating the value of hands-on research in education.

Background: Internal medicine residents face numerous career options after residency training. Little is known about when residents make their final career choice.

Objective: We assessed the timing and predictive factors of final career choices among internal medicine residents at graduation, including demographics, pre-residency career preferences, and rotation scheduling.

Objectives: The goal of our study is to determine optimal criteria which can be used to avoid admission to neuroscience intensive care units for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Patients And Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 431 patients with primary ICH from January 2013 to the end of December 2015 and reviewed multiple admitting characteristics. Based on these needs, we tested the following step-down unit admission criteria: Supratentorial ICH, ICH volume <20 cc, no Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), systolic BP <200mmHg, no respiratory failure, GCS≥12.
