Interventions are necessary to address the ongoing epidemic of sexual harassment and assault in field settings. An evidence-based approach to identifying specific interventions will be most effective at promoting the safety of scientists. We present the results of a workshop conducted by experts in field biology and the study of sexual harassment and assault that identified a comprehensive set of best practices for individuals and organizations. These recommendations are grounded in peer-reviewed scholarship and are separated into four topics: culture change, accountability, policy development, and reporting. The resulting report of the workshop recommends 44 practices, categorized by the resources required for implementation, the time frame of implementation, and the level of organization responsible for implementation. The best practices that we present are designed to support individuals and organizations in the development of field safety plans.

Flexible gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is a fundamental skill in surgical practice, offering both diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities for a wide range of GI diseases. In Korea, the incidence estimates for gastric and colorectal cancers rank among the highest worldwide, underscoring the critical need for well-trained endoscopists. Surgeons play a pivotal role in managing GI diseases, reinforcing the necessity of systematic and comprehensive endoscopic education.

Background: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder that can increase risk of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), caused by the combination of increased viscosity of secretions, craniofacial abnormalities, hypotonia, and obesity. While first-line treatment of pediatric OSA is typically adenotonsillectomy, the complex pathophysiology of OSA in PWS patients may lead to less success with this therapy.
Methods: The TriNetX database was queried for patients 18 years old or younger based on the diagnoses of PWS and OSA and the surgical interventions of adenotonsillectomy, tonsillectomy, and adenoidectomy.
Ultra-rapid, quantitative, label-free antibiotic susceptibility testing via optically detected purine metabolites.

In order to facilitate the best antimicrobial prescribing practices and to help reduce the increasing global threat of antibiotic resistance, there is an urgent need for the development of novel and truly rapid (≤1 h) antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) platforms. A 785 nm surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based phenotypic methodology is described that results in accurate minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determinations for all tested strain/antibiotic pairs. The SERS-AST procedure results in accurate MICs in ∼1 h, including a 30-min incubation period, and is effective for both Gram positive and negative species, and for antibiotics with different initial primary targets of antibiotic activity, and for both bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics.

Background: The impacts of suboptimal shipping conditions during transport on cell viability, recovery, and function of cryopreserved samples, have not been well studied.
Objective: The impacts of suboptimal shipping on viability and recovery after the freezing and thawing were investigated using nine cancer cell lines, with particular reference to the approximate level of exposure temperature and exposure time at which adverse effects occur, and whether there are differences in sensitivity between cell types.
Materials And Methods: The adverse effects of any set of suboptimal shipping conditions (-80 degree C for 7 d, -65 degree C or -50 degree C for 1, 3, and 7 d) on nine cancer cell lines (CHO-K1, COS-1, HeLa, HepG2, HL-60, Jurkat, MCF7, MDCK, 293T) were compared with data obtained during storage in liquid nitrogen.

Department of Medicine and Population Health Research Institute, McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada.
Advances in the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer have significantly changed the disease landscape. While benefiting from better oncological outcomes, patients are now experiencing higher rates of non-cancer comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease. The increasing impact of cardiovascular disease in those with prostate cancer led to the expanding role of cardio-oncology professionals in enhancing the multidisciplinary care of these patients.
