This paper explores the underutilized educational potential of tumor boards as a platform for medical student education. Acknowledging the complexity and multidisciplinary nature of tumor boards, we propose 12 strategic interventions aimed at integrating undergraduate medical students into these meetings to enhance their learning experience. These strategies emphasize active student engagement, critical analysis, patient interaction, reflective practice, and the integration of digital learning tools, with a focus on fostering an in-depth understanding of team-based, patient-focused oncology care.

In this study, we utilized a recently developed microfluidic biofilm analysis setup with automated 3D imaging to investigate the effects of extracellular electron acceptors and synthetic modifications to the extracellular polymeric matrix on biofilm formation. Our results with the wild type strain demonstrate robust biofilm formation even under anoxic conditions when fumarate is used as the electron acceptor.

This paper details a model that can estimate the United States (US) major depressive disorder burden attributable to indoor PM exposure, locally modifiable through input parameter calibrations.
