This work emphasises a cognitive approach to build ODONTOS, a computer-based education system in dentistry. It aims at providing for both instructors and students without any particular knowledge in computer programming; a tool dedicated to dental disease learning. For instructors, it implements for knowledge construction e.g. creating and proposing clinical cases according to student learning style, using multimedia technology. For students it is a tool, which privileges their learning style in order to solve uniform and inflexible learning problem. World Wide Web (WWW) technology has allowed us to offer flexible learning program without any pressure of time and place to student. 13 instructors and 84 students tested the ODONTOS prototype via Internet and answered to the questions related to their habit regarding learning style for the students and knowledge construction for the instructors. Although video data have emerged as an important learning support for the students (82 out of 84), their use in knowledge construction still remains unusual comparative with the use of text and picture (10 out of 13 instructors). It appears that, the integration of video data should be more used by instructors (2 out of 13) while textual data are overwhelmingly used in knowledge construction (13 out of 13). We introduce ODONTOS, and discuss the concrete contributions of this work.

Prostate cancer presents a major health issue, with its progression influenced by intricate molecular factors. Notably, the interplay between miRNAs and changes in transcriptomic patterns is not fully understood. Our study seeks to bridge this knowledge gap, employing computational techniques to explore how miRNAs and transcriptomic alterations jointly regulate the development of prostate cancer.

Objectives: Patient-reported financial effects of a tumour disease in a universal healthcare setting are a multidimensional phenomenon. Actual and anticipated objective financial burden caused by direct medical and non-medical costs as well as indirect costs such as loss of income can lead to subjective financial distress. To better understand subjective financial distress, the presented study explores self-reported determinants for subjective financial distress in German patients with cancer, aiming to inform a new German-language patient-reported outcome measure for determining the financial effects of a tumour disease.

Background: In Alabama, the undiagnosed HIV rate is over 20%; youth and young adults, particularly those who identify as sexual and gender minority individuals, are at elevated risk for HIV acquisition and are the only demographic group in the United States with rising rates of new infections. Adolescence is a period marked by exploration, risk taking, and learning, making comprehensive sexual health education a high-priority prevention strategy for HIV and sexually transmitted infections. However, in Alabama, school-based sexual health and HIV prevention education is strictly regulated and does not address the unique needs of sexual and gender minority teenagers.

While many eye disorders are linked through defects in vascularization and optic nerve degeneration, genetic correlation studies have yielded variable results despite shared features. For example, glaucoma and myopia both share optic neuropathy as a feature, but genetic correlation studies demonstrated minimal overlap. By leveraging electronic health record (EHR) resources that contain genetic variables such as genetically predicted gene expression (GPGE), researchers have the potential to improve the identification of shared genetic drivers of disease by incorporating knowledge of shared features to identify disease-causing mechanisms.

Exophiala spinifera strain FM, a black yeast and melanized ascomycete, shows potential for oil biodesulfurization by utilizing dibenzothiophene (DBT) as its sole sulfur source. However, the specific pathway and enzymes involved in this process remain unclear due to limited genome sequencing and metabolic understanding of E. spinifera.
