Despite the growing need for strong communication skills in the workplace, many nursing students complete their education and still have significant blind spots for their own interpersonal weaknesses. This article describes an innovative approach for promoting insight into communication styles through the use of small-group online discussions. An outline of the instructional strategy is provided along with examples of student work. Future directions for online assignments are discussed.

Department of Pathology, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, United States.
Compared with the overall physician workforce, pathologist workforce in the United States has significant representation of international medical graduates (IMGs). IMG representation in the academic pathology workforce, as well as in departmental and pathology societal leadership, has not been documented. In this cross-sectional study, we surveyed a sample of 20 North American academic pathology departmental publicly available websites.

Background: There continue to be significant gender disparities with women being underrepresented in medical professional society leadership roles, despite more women entering medical school.
Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the pattern of representation of women in medical society presidential positions in the United States and Europe over the past 50 years. It further examines gender-related trends in the field of cardiology and among medical trainees.
Front Allergy

The basophil activation test (BAT) has become a major cellular test for evaluating the allergenic activity of specific IgEs. The impact of the BAT is due to the ability of blood basophil granulocytes to present IgE on the high-affinity FcRI receptor and to mirror the mast cell response that elicits an acute allergic reaction. The BAT proved to be able to identify allergic patients at risk of reacting to a low dose of the allergen and/or developing life-threatening reactions and thus can significantly improve the current management of allergic patients.

To adapt to change, neural systems may change a large number of parameters, which is a slow process involving forgetting past information. In contrast, animals leverage distribution changes to segment their stream of experience into tasks and associate them with internal task abstracts.

Fourier transform spectrometers that utilize high-precision moving mirrors generally struggle to enhance their miniaturization and stable real-time performance. A static infrared spectral measurement method is proposed that uses micro/nano-optical devices as the core of static interference and lightweight imaging.
