We examine whether Sandra Sabattini, a young Medical Student who was beatified by Pope Francis in 2021 should be seen as a role model for medical students, and potentially seen as their patron saint. We examine the difference between Patron Saint and Role Model. We make the case that, given the importance of the Doctor-Patient Relationship, there is need for Medical Students to have a Role Model. We examine the environment, philosophy, and methodology in which Sandra Sabattini worked and we examine how she related to patients, based on Eyewitness accounts. We identify that Sandra worked in a holistic way and related to patients in a very personal way. Thus we conclude that Sandra Sabattini is indeed a useful role model for medical students, further, we note her ''pro-life'' philosophy.

Background: Kentucky is within the top five leading states for breast mortality nationwide. This study investigates the association between neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage and breast cancer outcomes, including surgical treatment, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and survival, and how associations vary by race and ethnicity in Kentucky.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis using data from the Kentucky Cancer Registry (KCR) for breast cancer patients diagnosed between 2010 and 2017, with follow-up through December 31, 2022.

Community health workers (CHWs) play a significant role in supporting health services delivery in communities with few trained health care providers. There has been limited research on ways to optimize the role of CHWs in HIV prevention service delivery. This study explored CHWs' experiences with offering HIV prevention services [HIV testing and HIV pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP and PEP)] during three pilot studies in rural communities in Kenya and Uganda, which aimed to increase biomedical HIV prevention coverage via a structured patient-centered HIV prevention delivery model.

The quantum transition state framework was developed to calculate the reaction path-resolved scattering matrix for atom-diatom reactions in hyperspherical (APH) coordinates. This approach allows for simply and directly calculating the reaction path-resolved scattering matrix, especially when the encircling reaction path is negligible. It could be used to determine the reactivities of specific pathways in a chemical reaction, providing insights into phenomena such as geometric phase effects.

Endohedral boron-doped scandium clusters BSc ( = 2-3, = 3-13): triangular - linear rearrangement of the B dopant.

Dalton Trans

January 2025

Laboratory for Chemical Computation and Modeling, Institute for Computational Science and Artificial Intelligence, Van Lang University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

A theoretical investigation, employing density functional theory with the PBE functional and the Def2-TZVP basis set, comprehensively explores the geometric and electronic structures and properties of the boron doped scandium clusters BSc with = 2-3 and = 3-13. Introduction of B atoms significantly enhances the stability of the resulting clusters with respect to the initial counterparts. As the number of B atoms increases, the stability of the doped clusters improves, following the order: BSc > BSc > BSc > Sc.

Humans and predators occupy dominant positions in ecosystems and are generally believed to play a decisive role in maintaining ecosystem stability, particularly in the context of virus transmission. However, this may not always be the case. By establishing some ecosystem virus transmission models that cover both human perspectives and predators, we have drawn the following conclusions: (1) Controlling vaccination activities from the human perspective can potentially lower the transmission rate and improve herd immunity, thereby indirectly protecting unvaccinated risk groups.
