We review the organization and contents of the 20th Gatherings in Biosemiotics. As the organizers, we share our insights from organizing a community research project in the year where the Covid-19 pandemic halted international travel. We try to describe the challenges of putting together the yearly conference on Biosemiotics and the main content that was presented by the research community.

Objectives The primary objective of this article is to paint an institutional portrait of the Saint-Jean-de-Dieu Asylum over the first hundred years of its existence, from 1873 to 1973. The secondary objectives are as follows: 1) explore how prevention policies at the end of the 19th century had the effect of increasing the asylum population rather than reducing it; 2) discuss mental health policies that sought to "treat the social" outside the walls of the asylum in an effort to decrease the population; and 3) address the arrival of psychopharmacology that opened the doors of the asylum and turned it into a modern psychiatric hospital, soon renamed Louis-Hippolyte-Lafontaine. Method Since the past exists in silence, and finding data that will enable us to reconstruct a history of Saint-Jean-de-Dieu is a challenge.

Article Synopsis
- A network analysis revealed a group photo of Rebekka Aleida Biegel and two friends with Albert Einstein at a tea party in Zurich, dated June 30, 1913, using advanced techniques like AI and OSINT.
- Researchers identified the women and a man in the photo, uncovering their significant roles in contributing to Einstein's work on relativity, highlighting their historical importance.
- The study also solved long-standing mysteries surrounding the photographs, shedding light on a crucial period in scientific history and emphasizing the contributions of often-overlooked women in physics.

Objective: This study aimed to increase understanding of the signs and symptoms that lead pregnant people to seek hospital care in the second trimester of pregnancy. In addition, we aimed to describe management and follow up, to record pregnancy outcomes, and to gather information about symptoms and signs related to second trimester pregnancy loss.
Methods: This prospective audit in seven geographically dispersed sites across the UK collected data over two weeks (7th March-20th March 2022 inclusive) on all unscheduled secondary care attendances between 14 and 21 completed weeks' gestation.

Aim: To explore trends in multiple sclerosis incidence rates in Spain between 1990 and 2019.
Methods: We use data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 to calculate age-standardised incidence rates of multiple sclerosis and identify significant changes over time using the Joinpoint regression model. We also use the Age-Period-Cohort model to understand the separate influences of age, historical period, and birth cohort on these trends.

Department of Clinical Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran.
Background: Insulin resistance during early lactation in goats has been a topic of interest for researchers, as addressing this issue can significantly improve their metabolic health.
Objectives: To investigate the potential of butaphosphan and cyanocobalamin in controlling insulin resistance, we conducted a study with the hypothesis that this combination may mitigate insulin resistance in dairy goats.
Methods: Ten adult goats were divided equally into two groups: Ctrl and B+C.
