Unlabelled: Class-responsibility-collaboration (CRC) cards have been used extensively in the software industry for defining complex object-oriented software requirements. We have adapted this tool to capture information about biological components, collaborators and responsibilities within these collaborations, which is not captured by current annotation tools. CRC cards should provide a common ground that will facilitate communication between biologist and computer scientists.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a significant global health challenge, characterized by substantial prevalence variations across regions. This study delves into the therapeutic potential of rutin, a polyphenol abundant in fruits, for treating CRC. The primary objectives encompass identifying molecular targets and pathways influenced by rutin through an integrated approach combining bioinformatic analysis and experimental validation.

Multiple evidence-based interventions (EBIs) have been developed to improve the completion of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening within Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and other safety net settings in marginalized communities. Little effort has been made, however, to evaluate their relative effectiveness across different clinical contexts and populations. To this end, we tested the relative effectiveness of three EBIs (mailed birthday cards, lay navigation, and provider-delivered education) among a convenience sample of 1252 patients (aged 50-75 years old, who were due for CRC screening and scheduled for a visit at one of three clinics within a network of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in the United States.

Background: A review of existing tools suggested a need for a goal setting tool for autistic people that (1) addresses the heterogeneity of autistic people to the greatest degree possible; (2) addresses a broad range of goals in areas including self-care and home living, and social, community, educational, and employment participation; (3) incorporates autism-specific adaptations such as visual supports; (4) facilitates the initial identification of goals; and (5) enables the prioritization of goals.
Aim: This project aimed to develop a picture-based card-sort goal setting tool with relevant and comprehensible goal cards using a co-design and co-production process.
Methods: The first three of four phases of participatory action research (PAR) used to develop the tool are presented, including (1) initial design by autistic people and professional practitioners, and co-production with an autistic graphic designer; (2) survey of 15 autistic people and 11 family members to evaluate and refine the goals, pictures, and wording; (3) second survey of 23 autistic people and 19 family members to re-evaluate and re-refine the goals, pictures, and wording.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies seen in the Western World. It is increasing in developing countries due to adaptation of the western lifestyle with an incidence of 6% in Nigeria. Treatment options are dependent on the stage of disease at presentation, the performance status of the patient, and increasingly the molecular makeup of the tumor.

Article Synopsis
- Colorectal cancer (CRC) can develop in patients with long-standing ulcerative colitis (UC), and microRNAs may serve as important biomarkers for tracking this progression.
- The study examined 96 microRNAs in tissue samples from UC patients and controls, identifying 64 that were deregulated, particularly focusing on three miRNAs—miR-31, -106a, and -135b—that showed significant changes between different stages of the disease.
- Findings suggest that UC-associated CRCs have unique microRNA expression patterns compared to sporadic CRCs, with some microRNAs potentially indicating early cancer development.
