Nonprofit boards of directors are fiduciaries for the organization. However, there have been various legal interpretations of their duties. The authors review the conflicting standards of conduct that exist, and they report the results of a survey which sampled director opinion concerning the liability issue. The proposition that directors were unaware of their legal responsibilities was supported, and the implications of this finding for organizational procedures and public policy are discussed.

Aim: Many combinations of inflammation-based markers have been reported their prognostic ability. The prognostic value of albumin-to-gama-glutamyltransferase ratio (AGR), an inflammation-related index, has been identified for several cancers. However, the predictive value of AGR for high-grade glioma patients remains unclear.

Introduction: Art college students are under special pressure from a few sources, including study, employment, friends, emotions, family relations and other aspects. This can lead to a reasonable degree of learning burnout among art college students, which will have a negative impact on their physical and mental health, as well as their study and employment. However, there is a paucity of empirical studies on learning burnout among art students.

Background: Immunotherapy combined with chemoradiotherapy has demonstrated promising efficacy in stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the optimal timing for immunotherapy intervention during radiotherapy remains unclear. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) administered concurrently or sequentially with chemoradiotherapy in unresectable stage III NSCLC.

Advancements in high-throughput sequencing and associated bioinformatics methods have significantly expanded the RNA virus repertoire, including novel viruses with highly divergent genomes encoding "orphan" proteins that apparently lack homologous sequences. This absence of homologs in routine sequence similarity search complicates their taxonomic classification and raises a fundamental question: Do these orphan viral genomes represent viruses? In 2022, an orphan viral genome encoding a large polyprotein was identified in alfalfa () and thrips (), and named Snake River alfalfa virus (SRAV). SRAV was initially proposed as an uncommon flavi-like virus identified in a plant host distantly related to family .
