One of the basic features of information is permanence. This feature states that the consumption of information by one consumer does not affect the availability of that information to other consumers. We present examples in two studies indicating that both laymen and experts of information exchange may be motivated to make choices that violate the permanence feature in accepting (Study 1) and offering (Study 2) information. When they possess, but have not yet consumed information, people may suffer from the appearance of wastefulness. This apparent wastefulness may provide a potential explanation for the observed violation of the permanence feature. Our findings indicate that, as the material age evolves into the information age, information-exchange behavior has not evolved significantly away from material-exchange behavior.

An interview with a nurse provides a better understanding of the specific features of a permanent healthcare access service, the people encountered and the skills to be developed for the job. In the context of diabetes, the testimony of Marjorie El Darwiche Sychareunh, who graduated in 2010 and has been working in permanent healthcare access service since September 2023, makes it easier to identify the resources available to support these patients, who are often in a very precarious situation.

All 32 Brazilian species of Speg (Cactaceae) occurring in Rio Grande do Sul State are considered threatened, according to the IUCN criteria. Until 2021, (CR) was known by only two small populations. However, a new population with over 400 individuals was discovered in 2021, prompting the study of its reproductive biology as a way to promote its conservation.

Primary pulmonary sarcoma and mesothelioma are rare malignancies. The review article discusses the appearance of these tumors in B-mode ultrasound (US), color Doppler ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). In particular, the article is intended to inspire the examination of thoracic wall tumors and pleural masses with the possibilities of ultrasonography and to obtain histologically evaluable material using US or CEUS-guided sampling.

Article Synopsis
- - This review details rare malignant pancreatic lesions, particularly focusing on the imaging characteristics of uncommon epithelial tumors like solid pseudopapillary neoplasm and acinar cell carcinoma.
- - It highlights how these tumors can be visualized using ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and contrast-enhanced techniques.
- - The overview emphasizes that pancreatic tumors are diverse, and not all are the common types like ductal adenocarcinoma or neuroendocrine tumors.
Artificial Intelligence for Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound of the Liver: A Systematic Review.
Digestion
September 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Infectious Diseases, University Hospital Dusseldorf, Medical Faculty at Heinrich-Heine-University, Dusseldorf, Germany.
Introduction: The research field of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine and especially in gastroenterology is rapidly progressing with the first AI tools entering routine clinical practice, for example, in colorectal cancer screening. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a highly reliable, low-risk, and low-cost diagnostic modality for the examination of the liver. However, doctors need many years of training and experience to master this technique and, despite all efforts to standardize CEUS, it is often believed to contain significant interrater variability.
