Objective: We examined the factors that influence medical school graduates' choices for the place of internship, so that they can guide policy-makers to attract interns to rural hospitals.
Design: A national survey.
Setting: Rural and metropoles of Israel.
Participants: Three-hundred-and-thirty-nine interns who did their internships during the years 2016-2018.
Main Outcome Measure: The participants completed a web survey. We used the results of this survey to deduce which factors were influential in helping the interns choose a hospital for their year of internship.
Results: We received 339 questionnaires from medical school graduates of years 2015-2017. We found that the most influential factors in attracting interns to rural hospital internships are the availability of desired residency and exposure to a rural curriculum in medical school. This far outweighed any economic or life quality incentives. In addition, we found that the exposure to rural hospitals during the medical school years increases the likelihood of choosing an internship in a rural hospital.
Conclusions: The most important factor for choosing a hospital for internship is the availability of lucrative residencies. Thus, we believe the best way to attract good interns would be to make the desired residency positions available for them. Furthermore, it might be more successful to target either students who have studied in a university affiliated with rural hospital rotations or graduates of universities outside of the country.

Background: Impairment of the visceral pleura following thoracic surgery often leads to air leaks and intrathoracic adhesions. For preventing such complications, mesothelial cell proliferation at the pleural defects can be effective. To develop new materials for pleural defects restoration, we constructed a hybrid artificial pleural tissue (H-APLT) combining polyglycolic acid (PGA) nanofiber sheets with a three-dimensional culture of mesothelial cells and fibroblasts and evaluated its therapeutic efficacy in a rat pleural defect model.

Hematopoietic development is tightly regulated by various factors. The role of RNA m6A modification during fetal hematopoiesis, particularly in megakaryopoiesis, remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that loss of m6A methyltransferase METTL3 induces formation of double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) and activates acute inflammation during fetal hematopoiesis.

Background: The successful transition of stroke patients from hospital to home relies on the preparedness of caregivers. Assessing this preparedness is crucial, but existing tools need adaptation and validation for Iranian caregivers.
Objectives: This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Persian version of the "Preparedness Assessment for the Transition Home After Stroke" (PATH-s) for use among Iranian caregivers of stroke survivors.
