Myanmar might be the most recent country to graduate its first class of physician assistants (PAs). The country has a history of medics serving in underserved areas, but graduated its first six PAs in 2020, after a 5-year training program. These clinicians will care for a largely rural population, who live in areas of unreliable infrastructure and security. The PA profession in Myanmar aims to reduce maternal mortality, graduate 75 PAs by 2029, and improve access to healthcare in remote regions.

Polarity-sensitive probes (PAS) were synthesized through the attachment of azetidine and sulfonyl substituents to the pyrene fluorescent core. The emission peaks and fluorescence lifetimes of these PAS probes exhibit high sensitivity to polarity, enabling the visualization of microenvironmental characteristics and dynamics across multiple organelles.

The phenylacetone pathway, which encompasses flavonoids, lignin, and other compounds, is of paramount importance in determining the quality of pear fruit. Nevertheless, the precise regulatory functions of R2R3-MYB transcription factors in the metabolic pathways that regulate pear color changes remain unclear. In this study, we isolated an transcription factor from 'Red Zaosu' pears and demonstrated that it influenced the expression of several genes, including , and .

Metallofullerenols and fullerenols have attracted attention due to their remarkable ability to interact with various biologically relevant molecules, paving the way for biomedical applications, ranging from medical imaging techniques to drug carriers, acting with increased efficiency and reduced side effects. In this work, we investigated the effects of two fullerene derivatives, Gd@C(OH) and C(OH), on erythrocyte membrane components under oxidative stress conditions induced by 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) as a source of peroxyl radicals. The results demonstrated that gadolinium encapsulation within the fullerene cage enhanced the electron affinity of Gd@C(OH), resulting in stronger antioxidant activity.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an important crop but frequently experiences saline-alkali stress. Our previous studies have shown that exogenous spermidine (Spd) could significantly enhance the saline-alkali resistance of tomato seedlings, in which a high concentration of Spd and jasmonic acid (JA) exerted important roles. However, the mechanism of Spd and JA accumulation remains unclear.

Background: Cladribine tablets are contraindicated during pregnancy; therefore, safety data on pregnancies exposed to this treatment are limited. CLEAR collects and describes pregnancy outcomes in this understudied population.
Objectives: To describe the main features of the CLEAR study design, including the data sources and the methodological approach, and provide a status update.
