AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how academic interests develop from middle childhood to late adolescence and the impact of transitions like junior high and high school, alongside parental expectations and educational backgrounds.
- Findings revealed that academic interests generally decline over time, with boys experiencing a steeper drop than girls, and this decline is influenced positively by mothers’ education levels.
- A significant connection was found between declines in academic interests and lower school grades, with transitions to junior high contributing to the decline, though this was partly mitigated by mothers' own academic interests.
Article Abstract
Study goals were to assess: (1) the development of academic interests from middle childhood through late adolescence, (2) the degree to which junior high and high school transitions, parents' educational expectations, interests, and education, were related to changes in academic interests, and (3) the longitudinal links between youth's academic interests and school grades. Participants were mothers, fathers, and two siblings from 201, White, working and middle class families who were interviewed in their homes on up to 9 annual occasions. Multi-level model analyses revealed overall declines in youth's interests over time, with boys showing more rapid decline than girls. Mothers' educational expectations were positively related to youth's interests, and youth's interests declined less when fathers had more education. The transition to junior high, but not high school, was linked to decline in interests, but this was buffered by mothers' academic interests. Declines in youth's academic interests were linked to declines in school grades.

Operation Smile, Norfolk, VA.
Introduction: YouTube has become a popular source of health information, including plastic surgery. Given the platform's wide reach and potential influence on patient decisions, this study aimed to assess the quality of information available on YouTube for African audiences seeking plastic surgery procedures.
Methods: This cross-sectional study extracted data from YouTube videos on plastic surgery relevant to Africa.
In this Prentice Medal Award lecture, I shall recount my career in vision science in the context of three types of inspiration-"being inspired," "personal inspiration," and "inspiring others." My research has derived inspiration from a variety of sources, such as contemporary and historical research doyens in the ophthalmic field and beyond, artists, Greek philosophers, and abstract constructs such as principles and adages. A given moment of inspiration can range from being a profound experience to a subtle realization during a quiet moment of reflection.

Department of Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Ataturk University, Erzurum, 25240, Turkey.
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the contact relationship and position of impacted mandibular third molar teeth (IMM) with the mandibular canal (MC) in panoramic radiography (PR) images using deep learning (DL) models trained with the help of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and DL to compare the performances of the architectures.
Methods: In this study, a total of 546 IMMs from 290 patients with CBCT and PR images were included. The performances of SqueezeNet, GoogLeNet, and Inception-v3 architectures in solving four problems on two different regions of interest (RoI) were evaluated.
TFEB Phase Separation Mediates the Amelioration Effect of Intermittent Fasting on Inflammatory Colitis.

Intermittent fasting (IF) has been shown to ameliorate inflammation including DSS-induced colitis. It is well known that autophagy can limit inflammation and TFEB is a master transcriptional factor that regulates the processes of autophagy. However, whether TFEB is involved in the regulation of IF-mediated amelioration of inflammation and its mechanism remained unclear.

Neurological Surgery, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, US.
Objective: In recent years, the application of robotic assistance in diagnostic and therapeutic endovascular neurointerventional procedures has gained notable attention. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aim to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and current indications of robotic-assisted neurointerventions and to assess the degree of robotic assistance and reasons for unplanned manual conversion from robotic assistance.
Methods: We searched Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases following PRISMA guidelines and included studies with ≥ 4 patients reporting on robotic-assisted neurointerventions.
