AI assistants, such as ChatGPT, are being increasingly used by students in higher education institutions. While these tools provide opportunities for improved teaching and education, they also pose significant challenges for assessment and learning outcomes. We conceptualize these challenges through the lens of vulnerability, the potential for university assessments and learning outcomes to be impacted by student use of generative AI.

The intricate organization of biological membranes plays a crucial role in cellular functions. Various factors that influence domain formation have been identified in previous studies such as lipid tail length and cholesterol concentration.

- The SQuID protocol, aimed at treating low- to moderate-severity diabetic ketoacidosis outside of intensive care, was assessed for acceptability among emergency department and inpatient clinicians through a survey conducted between March and November 2023 at an urban academic hospital.
- A high response rate of 80% (107 out of 133 clinicians) revealed that 65% of ED clinicians preferred SQuID over traditional intravenous insulin, with overall acceptability rated positively across various domains.
- Clinicians expressed strong support for SQuID, describing it as easy to use and demonstrating a favorable attitude towards its implementation in clinical practice.
Objective: We previously demonstrated safe treatment of low- to moderate-severity (LTM) diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) using the SQuID protocol (subcutaneous insulin in DKA) in a non-intensive care unit (ICU) observation setting, with decreased emergency department length of stay (EDLOS). Here, we expand eligibility to include sicker patients and admission to a regular medical floor and collected more detailed clinical data in a near-real-time fashion.
Methods: This is a real-world, prospective, observational cohort study in an urban academic hospital (March 4, 2023-March 4, 2024).
Marek's disease virus (MDV) can cause severe immunosuppression in chickens. Our previous study showed that infection with very virulent plus (vv+) MDV strains of one-day-old commercial meat-type chickens possessing maternal antibodies against MDV resulted in severe depletion of splenocytes at 28-30 days of age. In the present study, we have investigated the effect of vv+MDV strain 686 on splenic immunophenotypes at 6, 20, and 30 days post-infection (dpi).
