Bone dynamics in zebrafish on low- and high-frequency diets.

Article Synopsis
- Zebrafish were studied over 40 days to see how different diets (high vs. low frequency) affect bone health.
- Fish fed more frequently (3×/day) were larger in weight and length compared to those fed less often (2×/week).
- The frequent-feeding group had greater vertebral bone density but lower overall bone volume, while low-feeding fish had more signs of bone resorption in their scales.
- The researchers suggest that lower calorie intake might lead to higher leptin levels, which negatively impacts bone health in zebrafish.
When considering the best ethical practices in forensic anthropology, one must consider how accessible the field is to new students that are responsible for driving the future of research, pedagogy, and the field as a whole. While there is no denying that there are multiple barriers to accessing academia (e.g.

Objective: To evaluate the performance of first-trimester nuchal translucency (NT) measurement by providers (physician-sonologists and sonographers) within the Nuchal Translucency Quality Review (NTQR) program.
Methods: After training and credentialing providers, the NTQR monitored performance of NT measurement by the extent to which an individual's median multiple of the normal median (MoM) for crown-rump length (CRL) was within the range 0.9-1.
In 2004, leaders in first-trimester aneuploidy screening and a multidisciplinary group of experts established the Nuchal Translucency Quality Review Program, a national program to standardize education, credentialing, and quality monitoring of nuchal translucency. Since its inception, the program has credentialed more than 6,600 physician and ultrasonographer participants and collected more than 2.4 million nuchal translucency measurements.
