"Bring your whole self to work" remains a common mantra of supporters of workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion ("DEI").1 For example, disability rights advocates have long contended that hiding or downplaying one's disability from one's colleagues at work "create[s] an invisible layer of additional work for the individual" in being accepted at the job and negatively affects productivity.2 LGBTQ+ rights advocates have raised similar points, noting that hiding or downplaying one's sexual orientation or gender identity from one's colleagues hinders internal advancement of LGBTQ+ workers.3 As recently as 2019, however, a Deloitte study found that sixty-one percent of workers hid or downplayed one or more of their identities from their colleagues at work.4.

Objective Of The Review: Edible mushrooms are found to be foods with high nutritional content, which have been shown to be more widely used ingredients in cooking in traditional dishes. This article explores the rising trend in the use of edible mushrooms in new formulations of functional foods, taking advantage of their properties and benefits in human health.
Recent Findings: The use of mushrooms as an ingredient in new or modified food formulations is driven by solid evidence of their nutritional content and bioactivity.

The idea that disease is caused at the cellular level is so fundamental to us that we might forget the critical role microscopy played in generating and developing this insight. Visually identifying diseased or infected cells lays the foundation for any effort to curb human pathology. Since the discovery of the Plasmodium-infected red blood cells, which cause malaria, microscopy has undergone an impressive development now literally resolving individual molecules.

Objectives: We aimed to identify demographic, acculturation, and health care factors associated with self-reported knowledge of the right to medical interpretation among individuals with non-English language preference (NELP) in California.
Background: NELP is a significant social determinant of health contributing to adverse health outcomes through barriers in communication, limited health literacy, and biases in care delivery. The ability of patients with NELP to self-advocate for interpreter services is crucial yet hindered by various factors, including a lack of knowledge about their rights.

The growing global exchange of healthcare data requires more cohesive and effective regulatory frameworks to ensure fair access and protect patient privacy. However, cross-border regulatory rules for healthcare data diverge across countries, such as the EU, which highlights personal data rights and restricts cross-border flow of healthcare data through the GDPR, the United States, which emphasizes the free flow of healthcare data trade or services, and China, which emphasizes cross-border regulatory rules for healthcare data at the level of national data security. Such inconsistent policies often impede international medical research collaborations, undermine the effectiveness of telemedicine, and create barriers for healthcare providers to share patient information.
