AI Article Synopsis
- The survey aimed to explore how the Society of Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) can enhance its international outreach efforts.
- Respondents noted that international representation is lacking, primarily due to financial costs and geographical distance to annual meetings.
- The study advocates for continued use of virtual conferencing and suggests a hybrid model for future scientific engagement to improve global participation.
Article Abstract
This survey study was conducted to better consider ways that the Society of Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) can increase their international outreach. Most survey respondents indicated that international representation could be improved and cited barriers of cost and physical distance to annual meetings. This study highlights support for continuation of virtual conferencing to improve international representation and proposes a hybrid model of scientific engagement moving forward.

Background: The structural, cellular, and biomolecular research necessary for a mechanistic understanding of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) relies on brain tissue collected according to a brain sampling protocol (BSP) and preserved in biorepositories. Such research involves discipline-specific terminology such as cytoarchitectonic domains, brain network nodes, etc. This specificity can result in iterative, time-consuming, and error-prone request processes.

The growing relevance of rehabilitation in healthcare to address increasing patient needs necessitates robust Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM) integration into medical education and practice. Academic PRM, rooted in medical faculties, is vital for developing the medical speciality as an academic discipline across Europe, where it faces challenges, including limited representation in medical schools and competition for resources with established disciplines. This commentary advocates establishing a representative organization for academic PRM in Europe.

Sleep apnea is a global public health concern, but little research has examined this issue in low- and middle-income countries, including Samoa. The purpose of this study was to examine the sample prevalence and characteristics of sleep apnea using a validated home sleep apnea device (WatchPAT, Itamar) and explore factors that may influence sleep health in the Samoan setting. This study used data collected through the ("Good Health") study, which investigated the impact of the body mass index (BMI)-associated genetic variant rs373863828 in on metabolic traits in Samoan adults (sampled to overrepresent the obesity-risk allele of interest).

Neurological recovery in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) is multifaceted, involving mechanisms such as remyelination and perilesional spinal neuroplasticity, with cortical reorganization being one contributing factor. Cortical reorganization, in particular, can be evaluated through network (graph) analysis of interregional functional connectivity. This study aimed to investigate cortical reorganization patterns in persons with chronic SCI using a multilayer community detection approach on resting-state functional MRI data.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the experiences of Asian American female sexual minority (AAFSM) college students in Midwestern U.S. universities, focusing on how race, gender, and sexual orientation intersect.
- Findings reveal that these students face intersectional objectifications and internalize racism, sexism, and heterosexism to fit in, which reinforces these biases in society.
- The research highlights complex forms of discrimination referred to as intersectional post-racism-(hetero)sexism and provides recommendations for creating more inclusive educational environments for AAFSM students.
