The Doubles, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, is a seven-episode series of media tools designed to teach third and fourth grade students about the science of drug addiction. The program's curriculum is delivered via a set of videos, interactive CD-ROMs, workbooks, or an Internet site. This article examines the process used to develop The Doubles and argues that its success stems from the careful balancing of the needs of the funding agency, state and national curricular guidelines, and the target audience.

: Cause of death analysis is fundamental to forensic pathology. We present the case of a 9½-year-old girl with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of Dravet syndrome who died in her sleep with no evidence of motor seizure. She also had a lifelong history of recurrent pneumonias and, along with her family, had tested positive for COVID-19 10 days before death.

Introduction: A common complication of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is thrombosis in the venous segment, which can impair vascular access unless a successful thrombectomy is performed.
Case Presentation: In this manuscript, we describe the case of a diabetic patient who had primary AVF in a snuff-box with subsequent superficialization of the medial vein of the forearm. Unfortunately, this section of the vein was occluded, although the fistula was patent through the cephalic vein (CV).

Objectives: Treating femoral neck fractures remains a significant challenge for orthopedic surgeons and imposes a substantial economic burden on developing regions. Current novel internal fixation methods demonstrate excellent biomechanical performance. However, these new internal fixation methods are still associated with various complications.

Background: The differential diagnosis between adult systemic EBV-positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (EBV T-LPD) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) with multiple EBV infections is difficult, and distinguishing between the two has become a diagnostic challenge for pathologists. Given that the clinical treatment plans are different, an accurate diagnosis is a prerequisite to ensure effective treatment, therefore, it is extremely necessary and meaningful to find effective pathological indicators for distinguishing between two diseases.
Methods: We present a retrospective study comparing 7 cases of adult EBV T-LPD and 16 cases of AITL with multiple EBV infections diagnosed at our institution from 2017 to 2022.

This study aims to delineate the levels of Cd exposure in maternal blood, placenta, and cord blood, and to explore the association between Cd levels and the risk of preeclampsia (PE), as well as its potential impact on fetal growth among affected individuals. A case-control study was performed at the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, involving 373 pregnant women diagnosed with PE and 485 controls. Cd was measured in maternal blood, placenta, and cord blood using ICP-MS.
