Opening the Cabinets: A Critical Evaluation of Skeletal Teaching Collections in the United States.
Am J Biol Anthropol
January 2025
Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections, St. Louis District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
The collections of human remains within our university laboratories and classrooms are considered by many to be integral to teaching osteology. However, as an outgrowth of the Western scientific tradition of mind/body dualism, human remains within skeletal teaching collections are often regarded differently than those in museums or applied contexts. From processing to storage, the personhood of each individual becomes abstracted as we purchase, "inherit," handle, organize, and digitally scan their bones for teaching purposes.

Highly energetic boron (B) particles embedded in hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) thermosetting polymers represent stable solid-state fuel. Laser-heating of levitated B/HTPB and pure HTPB particles in a controlled atmosphere revealed spontaneous ignition of B/HTPB in air, allowing for examination of the exclusive roles of boron. These ignition events are probed via simultaneous spectroscopic diagnostics: Raman and infrared spectroscopy, temporally resolved high-speed optical and infrared cameras, and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy.

BMJ Open
December 2024
WHO Collaborating Centre, Division of Neonatology, Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Health, Department of Women's and Children's Health, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Article Synopsis
- Mifepristone is a well-researched contraceptive option that has shown promise in preventing pregnancy, yet there's no comprehensive review summarizing its effectiveness as a non-emergency contraceptive for cisgender girls and women of reproductive age.
- A systematic review is being conducted to gather and analyze data from various databases, evaluating studies involving mifepristone to assess its contraceptive effectiveness specifically for this population.
- The review will include data extraction, risk of bias evaluation, and potentially a meta-analysis of the findings, with the final results expected to provide clarity on mifepristone's role in non-emergency contraception by June 2024.
Purpose: To systematically review the literature regarding machine learning in leg length discrepancy (LLD) and to provide insight into the most relevant manuscripts on this topic in order to highlight the importance and future clinical implications of machine learning in the diagnosis and treatment of LLD.
Methods: A systematic electronic search was conducted using PubMed, OVID/Medline and Cochrane libraries in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Two observers independently screened the abstracts and titles of potential articles.
Monoclonal antibodies in phase II and III trials for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.
Expert Opin Emerg Drugs
December 2024
Center for Dermatological Research, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, NC, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic skin condition that impacts the quality of life, especially for children, and new monoclonal antibody therapies show promise as advanced treatment options.
- This review analyzed 25 clinical trials from the NIH database focusing on phase 2 and 3 studies for atopic dermatitis, narrowing down to U.S.-based trials comparing new therapies to placebo.
- Monoclonal antibodies target specific elements of the inflammation process in AD, showing significant therapeutic benefits, as evidenced by reduced EASI scores in the trials.
