With the launch of competency-based medical education internationally, the practical realities of implementation have failed to live up to many of the proposed theoretical benefits. Specifically, as educators we have observed a number of assessment challenges that seem directly related to identified learner phenotypes. This commentary seeks to describe these specific learner phenotypes, along with actionable recommendations for programs and their competence committees in order to overcome the associated obstacles in assessment. We describe strategies related to both the individual and program level, which can be utilized for both short-term adjustments and long-term programmatic transformation.

Background And Objective: Inferring large-scale brain networks from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides more detailed and richer connectivity information, which is critical for gaining insight into brain structure and function and for predicting clinical phenotypes. However, as the number of network nodes increases, most existing methods suffer from the following limitations: (1) Traditional shallow models often struggle to estimate large-scale brain networks. (2) Existing deep graph structure learning models rely on downstream tasks and labels.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how gut microbial metabolites (GMM), specifically phenylacetylglutamine (PAGln), are linked to cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in people with alcohol use disorder.
- In experiments with mice, researchers found that chronic alcohol consumption led to changes in gut microbes and increased PAGln levels, which were associated with cardiovascular issues.
- PAGln was shown to cause heart and blood vessel problems independent of alcohol, indicating that it plays a significant role in the development of CVD related to alcohol consumption.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive and rapidly fatal disease with an intricate etiology. Identifying biomarkers for early PAH lesions based on the exploration of subtle biological processes is significant for timely diagnosis and treatment. In the present study, nine distinct cell populations identified based on gene expression profiles revealed high heterogeneity in cell composition ratio, biological function, distribution preference, and communication patterns in PAH.

In an environment, microbes often work in communities to achieve most of their essential functions, including the production of essential nutrients. Microbial biofilms are communities of microbes that attach to a nonliving or living surface by embedding themselves into a self-secreted matrix of extracellular polymeric substances. These communities work together to enhance their colonization of surfaces, produce essential nutrients, and achieve their essential functions for growth and survival.
