Oncocytoma: a rare neoplasm of the caruncle.

Oncocytoma is a rare benign neoplasm of the glandular tissue, most commonly found in the caruncle of the eye. These lesions have an excellent prognosis and have not been reported to recur after resection from the caruncle. Given the wide range of differentials and potential for malignancy, excision and histopathological examination are recommended to establish the diagnosis and guide proper treatment.

Nurse practitioner race and ethnicity and interest in independent primary care practice and serving Medicaid enrollees.

Nurse practitioners (NPs) are important providers of primary care to underserved populations, particularly in areas with lower physician supply. In 2023, California implemented new regulations aimed at improving access to care, especially primary care services, by providing a pathway for NPs to practice without formal supervision after 3 years of practice and without any physician relationship after 5 years of practice. This study used data from a representative survey of California-licensed NPs fielded in late 2022 to examine NPs' current practice and intentions following implementation of the new regulations.

Biolayer interferometry for measuring the kinetics of protein-protein interactions and nanobody binding.

Protein-protein interactions underpin nearly all biological processes, and understanding the molecular mechanisms that govern these interactions is crucial for the progress of biomedical sciences. The emergence of artificial intelligence-driven computational tools can help reshape the methods of structural biology; however, model data often require empirical validation. The large scale of predictive modeling data will therefore benefit from optimized methodologies for the high-throughput biochemical characterization of protein-protein interactions.
