Background And Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the success of a faculty Research/Writing Group (RWG) by quantifying the amount of scholarly productivity from participants in the group compared with that of a matched cohort.
Educational Activity And Setting: The RWG meets monthly to discuss current projects, providing an assessment of their scholarly activity. Participants offer ideas on improvement, resources and possible platforms for presentations and/or publications.
Findings: To evaluate the success of this model, scholarly production from the participants in the RWG was compared to a matched group of clinical non-tenure track faculty not participating in the group over a three year period. Faculty perception of RWG participation was evaluated by data collected through a survey using Qualtrics.
Summary: Participation in the RWG provided these junior faculty the support system to feel confident in their pursuit of scholarly activities; and therefore, they outpaced their counterparts in dissemination of their research.

The MyLungHealth study protocol: a pragmatic patient-randomised controlled trial to evaluate a patient-centred, electronic health record-integrated intervention to enhance lung cancer screening in primary care.
BMJ Open

Department of Biomedical Informatics, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
Introduction: Early lung cancer screening (LCS) through low-dose CT (LDCT) is crucial but underused due to various barriers, including incomplete or inaccurate patient smoking data in the electronic health record and limited time for shared decision-making. The objective of this trial is to investigate a patient-centred intervention, MyLungHealth, delivered through the patient portal. The intervention is designed to improve LCS rates through increased identification of eligible patients and informed decision-making.

Article Synopsis
- Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare neurological and skin disorder often linked to drug-resistant epilepsy, which this study investigates in relation to HMGB1 protein translocation.
- The research involved eight SWS patients who underwent hemispherectomy; brain tissue analysis showed increased levels of cytoplasmic HMGB1, particularly in microglia and neurons, while astrocytes mainly retained nuclear localization.
- Findings indicate that HMGB1 may play a role in the development of drug-resistant epilepsy in SWS, but no correlation was observed between HMGB1 levels and the patients' clinical characteristics, highlighting a need for further investigation into its mechanisms and potential treatment targets.
Anti-Tumor Effect and Mechanism Study of Caloric Restriction, Achieved by Time-Restricted Feeding, in Mice.
Cancer Control

Model Organism Research and Development Department, Shanghai Laboratory Animal Research Center, Shanghai, China.
Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effects and explore the mechanisms behind caloric restriction achieved through time-restricted feeding (CR) in inhibiting mouse tumors, providing a theoretical basis and data support for future CR diet-assisted anticancer treatment protocols.
Methods: C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice were divided into four cell line groups. Each group was further split into normal diet (ND) and a CR diet groups.

Article Synopsis
- Minor defects in the mitochondrial ATP-generating system can harm heart function in immature hearts, so this study explored various cardioplegic solutions.
- The experiment involved 41 male rats and compared the effects of three solutions (St. Thomas, Custodiol HTK, and Del Nido) during 1-hour and 3-hour ischemic periods.
- Results showed that the Del Nido solution offered the best mitochondrial respiration and ATP production compared to the other solutions, particularly after extended ischemia.
