The maintenance of cross-cultural variation and arbitrary traditions in human populations is a key question in cultural evolution. Conformist transmission, the tendency to follow the majority, was previously considered central to this phenomenon. However, recent theory indicates that cognitive biases can greatly reduce its ability to maintain traditions.

Material And Methods: From 1/2019 to 9/2023, children clinically scheduled for a renal imaging exam to assess UTD at a single center were prospectively enrolled. They underwent a dedicated two-dimensional (2D) and 3D US renal exam.
Article Synopsis
- Enteritidis PT4 is a versatile bacteria that infects various hosts and is a leading cause of gastroenteritis, especially linked to consuming poultry products like chicken meat and eggs.
- The genome of Enteritidis PT4 strain 578 contains 165 virulence factor genes that aid in its ability to invade cells and survive within the host, including 12 pathogenicity islands crucial for its pathogenicity.
- Comparative analysis with other Enteritidis and Typhimurium strains highlights unique metabolic and structural differences, improving our understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms involved.
Background: The National Comprehensive Cancer Care Network (NCCN) provides recommendations for patients with colorectal cancer. Concordance with evidence-based guidelines improves outcomes. Our objectives were to 1) examine rates of guideline non-concordance in a large vertically integrated health system; 2) examine factors associated with non-concordant care, and 3) identify geographical patterns of non-concordant care.
