Article Synopsis
- Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays a crucial role in the carbon cycle of the Southern Ocean, but understanding its dynamics in polar regions remains limited.
- Researchers focused on the northern Antarctic Peninsula (NAP) between 1995 and 2019, finding DOC concentrations ranged from 33.1 to 157.6 μmol kg-1 and highlighting regional differences in DOC due to various water currents and meltwater inputs.
- The study revealed that advective fluxes of DOC are significantly stronger than diffusive fluxes, underscoring the importance of ocean fronts for observing DOC movements and indicating the need to understand its role in biogeochemical processes, especially in the context of climate change.
Objectives: Using electronic health records, we derived and internally validated a prediction model to estimate risk factors for long COVID and predict individual risk of developing long COVID.
Design: Population-based, retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Scotland.
Testing for DNA mismatch repair deficiency (MMRd) is recommended for all colorectal cancers (CRCs). Automating this would enable precision medicine, particularly if providing information on etiology not captured by deep learning (DL) methods. We present AIMMeR, an AI-based method for determination of mismatch repair (MMR) protein expression at a single-cell level in routine pathology samples.

FP regimen plus OX (FPOX) may benefit in high-risk stage II CC. We performed a pooled analysis of pivotal MOSAIC and C-07 studies evaluating FPOX for the treatment of high-risk stage II CC according to prognostic factors, number of high-risk factors, and current clinicopathologic risk classification on the basis of T stage, tumor perforation, and number of lymph nodes examined.

- Pierre Fauchard, known as the father of dentistry, made significant contributions to various dental fields, although his impact on oral medicine and maxillofacial pathology was previously overlooked.
- This study aimed to uncover Fauchard’s work on oral diseases by analyzing both French and English sources, gathering information on diagnosed and treated conditions.
- The research identified his contributions to diseases like scurvy, abscesses, and oral ulcers, highlighting his importance in diagnosing and treating various oral health issues relevant to modern dentistry.
