In this series of talks and the accompanying panel session, leaders from the Society of Asian Academic Surgeons discuss issues faced by Asian Americans and the importance of the role of mentors and allyship in professional development in the advancement of Asian Americans in leadership roles. Barriers, including the model minority myth, are addressed. The heterogeneity of the Asian American population and disparities in healthcare and in research, specifically as relates to Asian Americans, also are examined.

Phylogeographic Characterization of Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) in Algeria.

Acta Parasitol

January 2025

Laboratory of Parasitic Eco-Epidemiology and Population Genetics, Pasteur Institute of Algeria, Dely-Brahim, Algiers, Algeria.

Purpose: Aedes albopictus, known as the Asian tiger mosquito, is an extensively studied mosquito species recognized for its rapid global expansion and its capacity to transmit a range of viruses such as dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever viruses. In 2010, Ae. albopictus was observed for the first time in Tizi-Ouzou, Algeria, and since then has colonized all the northern part of the country until the semi-arid areas.

This was a cross-sectional study of sports medicine fellows from previous (2010-2015) and contemporary (2016-2021) training periods. There were 2315 trainees from family medicine (FM, 85%), 261 trainees from physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR, 10%), and 133 trainees from emergency medicine (EM, 5%). PMR had the highest female and Asian trainee representation while FM had the highest Black trainee representation.

Advanced Zeolite-based Catalysts for CO2 Hydrogenation to Targeted High-Value Chemicals and Fuels.

Chem Asian J

January 2025

China University of Petroleum East China, State Key Lab of Heavy Oil Processing, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, No.66, West Changjiang Road, Huangdao District, 266580, QINGDAO, CHINA.

The excessive use of fossil fuels has resulted in elevated CO2 emissions in the atmosphere, significantly impacting the climate and global environment. The catalytic conversion of CO2 into high-value chemicals has been recognized as a promising strategy to mitigate CO2 emissions. Light olefins, aromatics, and alcohols, etc.

VS4 has emerged as a promising cathode material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), attracting significant interest due to its unique layered atomic chain structure and high capacity. However, the low electrical conductivity of the material limits the diffusion rate of zinc ions, ultimately compromising its structural stability. In this study, we demonstrate the synthesis of nanorods through a simple hydrothermal recombination of carbon dots on vanadium sulfide.

Potassium phosphate-promoted cross-cyclotetramerization of 2,6-dichloro-3-nitropyridine 1 with resorcinol derivatives 2 gave rise to thermodynamically favored 1,3-alternate tetraoxacalix[2]arene[2]pyridines and kinetically controlled 1,2-alternate isomers. The kinetic product could convert into its 1,3-alternate conformational isomer by a macrocycle to macrocycle conversion pathway. Enantiomerically enriched C2-symmetric inherently chiral tetraoxacalix[2]arene[2]pyridines were synthesized via a Cinchonine-derived chiral phase-transfer catalyst (PTC).
