Purpose: This study explored the narrative coherence of the accounts of an experienced event produced by autistic and neurotypical children (ages 6-15 years) after delays of two weeks and two months.
Methods: The sample comprised 27 autistic children and 32 neurotypical peers, who were interviewed about the event using the Revised National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Investigative Interview Protocol. The study focused on assessing the narrative coherence of children's reports, emphasizing key story grammar elements and temporal features in their narratives.
Results: Results revealed that, over time, both autistic and neurotypical children showed a decrease in narrative coherence. Autistic children, particularly those who were cognitively and verbally able, demonstrated the ability to convey their experiences coherently, with performances comparable to those of their neurotypical peers. Interviewer prompts differentially influenced the narrative coherence of autistic and non-autistic children's accounts.
Conclusion: This research showed that, when questioned appropriately, cognitively and verbally able autistic children can effectively communicate their personal experiences, even after significant delays.

Robert's Program on Sudden Unexpected Death in Pediatrics, Division of General Pediatrics, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Background And Objectives: A death scene investigation is required to determine sudden infant death syndrome, and a doll reenactment optimizes the information obtained. The aim of this study was to explore how acutely bereaved parents experience doll reenactments that are conducted after the sudden and unexpected deaths of their infants.
Methods: A mixed-methods design, including surveys and semi-structured interviews, was used in a cross-sectional, national study to explore the experiences of doll reenactment among 45 bereaved parents.

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a vision-threatening complication of diabetic retinopathy and causes significant morbidity in patients. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents are the mainstay of treatment for DME, with steroid implants being used for the treatment of anti-VEGF resistant eyes. Over the years, several classification systems have been devised to describe the patterns of DME using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex multifactorial endocrinopathy affecting reproductive aged women globally, whose presentation is strongly influenced by genetic makeup, ethnic, and geographic diversity leaving these affected women substantially predisposed to reproductive and metabolic perturbations. Sophisticated techniques spanning genomics, proteomics, epigenomics, and transcriptomics have been harnessed to comprehensively understand the enigmatic pathophysiology of PCOS, however, conclusive markers for PCOS are still lacking today. Metabolomics represents a paradigm shift in biotechnological advances enabling the simultaneous identification and quantification of metabolites and the use of this approach has added yet another dimension to help unravel the strong metabolic component of PCOS.

Introduction: The transformative feature of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the massive capacity for interpreting and transforming unstructured data into a coherent and meaningful context. In general, the potential that AI will alter traditional approaches to student research and its evaluation appears to be significant. With regard to research in global health, it is important for students and research experts to assess strengths and limitations of GenAI within this space.
