Article Synopsis
- Medical students participate in various extracurricular activities (ECAs), particularly academic ones, which can boost skills like leadership, social interaction, and self-confidence.
- Research shows that engaging in these activities leads to better retention rates, peer relationships, and success in postgraduate endeavors.
- The paper outlines twelve strategies for faculty to create equitable ECA opportunities, ensuring all interested students can benefit from their involvement.
First detection of Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) MED in Oklahoma and development of a high-resolution melting assay for MEAM1 and MED discrimination.

The sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), is a polyphagous pest recognized as composed of several cryptic or sibling species. The Middle East-Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) and the Mediterranean (MED) putative species are invasive and destructive worldwide. The MEAM1 is established throughout the United States, while MED is documented in 27 states.

The class of contaminants under the MNP umbrella is quite broad and encompasses variable polymer types, shapes, and sizes. Fibers are the most frequently detected in the environment, followed by fragments, but still represent only a small fraction of laboratory studies.

- A weakly supervised AI model called Triagnexia Colorectal was created to detect abnormal colorectal histology, like dysplasia and cancer, and prioritize biopsies based on clinical importance.
- The model was trained on nearly 25,000 digitized images and evaluated by multiple pathologists, offering a user-friendly interface to enhance decision-making in digital pathology.
- Validation results show high accuracy for the AI model, with impressive specificity and sensitivity scores, which pathologists found beneficial for detecting and prioritizing abnormal colorectal cases.
Article Synopsis
- Circulating metabolite levels are indicators of human health and can be influenced by genetic factors; however, most research has focused on European populations.
- The study utilized metabolomics data from 25,058 diverse individuals, identifying 1,778 gene loci linked to 667 metabolites and providing methods for data analysis and handling.
- Notably, the research uncovered new genetic associations, including 108 novel gene-metabolite pairs, and highlighted sex differences in metabolism, enhancing the understanding of genetic influences on human health.
