Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that a higher PRS was more strongly related to EGFR-positive LUAD cases (OR=8.63) than to EGFR-negative cases (OR=3.50), indicating a significant association based on mutation status.
- * These findings imply that genetic susceptibility to LUAD differs in never-smoking East Asian women depending on whether the cancer has specific mutations, which could affect public health strategies and clinical practices.*
Article Synopsis
- Australia has low pathogenicity avian influenza viruses circulating within its territory.
- A Eurasian low pathogenicity avian influenza H5 virus has recently been detected in Australia.
- This finding is important for monitoring and diagnostics, especially given the potential risk of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) not currently being present.
Article Synopsis
- - The high pathogenicity avian influenza virus H5N1 outbreak highlights the serious threats posed by viral incursions to both wildlife and domestic animals.
- - Recent findings in Australia identified two low pathogenicity avian influenza virus subtypes, H4 and H10, with different evolutionary patterns, emphasizing the complex nature of viral spread.
- - Phylogenetic analysis shows H4 viruses from shorebirds are a new introduction from Asia, while H10 has evolved into a new lineage in various bird populations, illustrating the importance of understanding these dynamics for better disease management.
Objective: To assess the research output of urology residents at top programs and investigate the correlation between medical school research productivity (MRP), research during residency (RRP), and pursuit of academic practice. Further, to characterize trends in MRP before and after the transition to pass/fail scoring of USMLE Step 1.
Methods: Our team previously reported on the PubMed-indexed research productivity of applicants matching into top 50 urology programs.
