The authors examined clinician race differences in symptom attribution patterns in diagnosing psychiatric inpatients from a low-income, African American community. Different decision models were applied to patients based on clinician race. African American clinicians diagnosed schizophrenia with higher odds than non-African American clinicians when they believed hallucinations were present and avoided that diagnosis with lower odds when they considered substance abuse issues. Non-African American clinicians usually related the attribution of negative symptoms to the diagnosis of schizophrenia while African American clinicians did not make this linkage. The study highlights the need for more detailed examination of cultural influences on diagnostic judgments.

Various scientific and professional groups, including the American Medical Association (AMA), American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG), American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG), and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), have appropriately clarified that certain population descriptors, such as race and ethnicity, are social and cultural constructs with no basis in genetics. Nevertheless, these conventional population descriptors are routinely collected during the course of clinical genetic testing and may be used to interpret test results. Experts who have examined the use of population descriptors, both conventional and ancestry based, in human genetics and genomics have offered guidance on using these descriptors in research but not in clinical laboratory settings.

This study presents an efficient and interpretable framework for unsupervised detection of low, very low, and extreme birth weights. While traditional approaches to managing class imbalance require labeled data, our study explores the use of unsupervised learning to detect anomalies indicative of low birth weight scenarios.

Faculty of Medical Sciences, Obstetrics and Gynecology at Lebanese University, Beirut, Lebanon.
Background: Shoulder dystocia, a challenging condition for obstetricians, poses significant risks to both maternal and neonatal health, including maternal postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal hypoxia, and brachial plexus injury. Despite being unpredictable and unpreventable, effective management can mitigate these risks. Miscommunication and poor leadership are responsible for 72% of medical errors, which further highlights the importance of robust leadership skills in obstetric emergencies.

Department of Medical Oncology, IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital, Milan, Italy.
Background And Objective: PARP inhibitor (PARPi) treatment is an effective option for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). There are few data on the cardiovascular and thromboembolic safety of these agents in mCRPC, as cardiovascular and thromboembolic adverse events (AEs) are uncommon. Our aim was to analyze the incidence and risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), thromboembolic events, and hypertension with PARPi therapy in mCRPC.
