Fatigue is one of the most prevalent and disabling symptoms among patients with MS, but there is limited research investigating the longitudinal determinants of fatigue progression. This study aims to identify the sociodemographic, behavioral and clinical characteristics, and therapeutic regimens that are correlated with worsening fatigue over time in patients diagnosed with MS. This is a retrospective chart review of 483 patients.

- Starting a medical career involves more than just clinical knowledge; skills like communication, leadership, and career management are essential but often underrepresented in medical school training.!* -
- A survey of 450 final-year medical students revealed that while they value these competencies, they feel inadequately prepared by their curriculum, particularly in leadership and career management skills.!* -
- There is a strong interest among students (90.7%) for additional courses focused on these skills, suggesting a need for curriculum changes to better equip future physicians for their careers.!*
Article Synopsis
- Low back pain is a significant global health concern, and MRI scans are essential for assessing spinal issues, but traditional imaging methods can be time-consuming.
- This study examined the effectiveness of deep learning (DL) techniques in improving the speed and quality of lumbar spine MRI scans compared to standard methods, involving a sample of 60 patients.
- Results showed that DL-based imaging significantly reduced scan time by 61% while enhancing image quality and diagnostic confidence, suggesting promising improvements for clinical practices in diagnosing lower back pain.
Traditional electrospinning is a promising technique for fabricating nanofibers for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. The method is highly efficient in producing nanofibers with morphology and porosity similar to the extracellular matrix. Nonetheless, and in many instances, the process has faced several limitations, including weak mechanical strength, large diameter distributions, and scaling-up difficulties of its fabricated electrospun nanofibers.

The goal of this study was to describe the outer arachnoid envelope around the olfactory bulb, which plays a significant role in approach-related injury of the nerve.
Methods: A total of 20 fresh human cadaveric heads were examined.
