The purpose of this study was to describe the use of Web sites by pediatric residency programs in the United States, the information provided on those Web sites, and the degree of user-friendliness in navigating the Web sites. Most residency programs (137/197) listed a Web address; 96% (131) of these sites were accessible and were analyzed. Most programs (98/131) provided information for 11 to 20 content items, 11 programs described less than 10 content items, and the remaining 22 programs listed 21 to 42 content items on their Web sites. Most Web sites (87%) were categorized into the user-friendly level. Extremely user-friendly Web sites also provided information on significantly more content items. Although 95% and 96% of positions were filled through match in programs with user-friendly Web sites and programs with extremely user-friendly Web sites, respectively, these were not statistically different from the programs with less user-friendly Web sites, where only 88% of positions were filled through the match. The majority of pediatric residency training programs have Web sites. Most of these Web sites were user-friendly and provided a variety of information sought by applicants.

Background: Because tertiary centres are generally situated at urban sites, it is unclear whether patients in rural areas have the same access to surgical services that patients in urban areas do. We sought to map the North American evidence landscape of how rurality affects access to medically indicated surgeries and identify system-, patient-, and provider-level barriers that preclude urban-comparable care.
Methods: We carried out a systematic search adhering to PRISMA for Scoping Reviews methodology across PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science, encompassing literature from the last 26 years (January 2023).
OPMS - A web-based ocean pollution monitoring system.
Mar Pollut Bull
January 2025
University of Victoria, 3800 Finnerty Road, Victoria, BC V8W 2Y2, Canada. Electronic address:
Marine pollution poses significant risks to both marine ecosystems and human health, requiring effective monitoring and control measures. This study presents the Ocean Pollution Monitoring System (OPMS), a web application designed to visualize the seasonal and annual fluctuations of marine pollutants along coastal regions in Canada. The pollutants include fecal coliform and biotoxins such as paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), and amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP).

MOE Key Laboratory for Industrial Biocatalysis, Institute of Biochemical Engineering, Department of Chemical Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, 100084, China.
Background: CRISPRi screening has become a powerful approach for functional genomic research. However, the off-target effects resulting from the mismatch tolerance between sgRNAs and their intended targets is a primary concern in CRISPRi applications.
Results: We introduce Guide Library Designer (GLiDe), a web-based tool specifically created for the genome-scale design of sgRNA libraries tailored for CRISPRi screening in prokaryotic organisms.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Amity Institute of Pharmacy, Amity University, Gurugram, Haryana, India.
Background: The current study aimed to investigate the chemical interaction of naringenin with the possible receptors and enzymes involved in the pathogenesis of cognitive deficits and tested their ADME and toxicity. Furthermore, in-vivo studies have also done to evaluate the effect of naringenin and its nanoparticles on STZ-induced cognitive decline in mice.
Method: Naringenin were evaluated against the active sites of β-secretase 1 (PDB: 3UQU), human insulin-degrading enzyme (PDB: 4RE9), insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (PDB: 1IR3), glycogen synthase kinase-3 β (PDB: 3L1S), phosphoprotein phosphatase 2A (PDB: 3P71), human superoxide dismutase I (PDB: 5YT0), catalase-3 (PDB:3EJ6), and human acetylcholinesterase (PDB: 4EY7) in comparison of rivastigmine using molecular docking studies.
