Objective: To explore the role of Black-led community organisations in supporting Black mental health and wellbeing in the UK.
Design: A qualitative, Black Emancipatory Action Research Framework was adopted. Framework application involved adequately compensating community organisations for their consultancy role; having 'research conversations' rather than interviewing participants; and focusing outputs on community benefit.
The application of machine learning to cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) data analysis has added a valuable set of tools to the cryoEM data processing pipeline. As these tools become more accessible and widely available, the implications of their use should be assessed. We noticed that machine learning map modification tools can have differential effects on cryoEM densities.

- The US faces a significant gun violence issue, highlighted by 698 mass shootings in 2021, resulting in 705 deaths and thousands of injuries.
- Researchers analyzed clinical data from 31 hospitals regarding 403 survivors of mass shootings from 2012-2019, focusing on both physical and psychological injuries.
- Findings revealed that most victims sustained serious physical injuries (primarily from gunshot wounds) and many experienced psychiatric issues, indicating the severe impact of mass shootings on survivors' health and well-being.

It can be difficult to medically define an often-subjective traumatic brain injury, where the law requires objective evidence of injuries.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey assessed 55 resident physicians and attending faculty involved in the acute care of the patients from the mass shooting. We measured the psychological impact of the event, post-traumatic growth, team cohesion, social support, and known risk factors for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
