Introduction: The University of Washington Department of Surgery (DoS) Diversity Council created a survey to understand our socio-demographics, identify gaps regarding Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and support efforts prioritizing DEI.
Methods: An anonymous, voluntary online survey was administered over 5 weeks to DoS members. Quantitative and qualitative analysis were performed using SurveyMonkey and Dedoose, respectively.
Brain asymmetries in figurative language comprehension.

CIMeC, Center for Mind/Brain Sciences, University of Trento, Rovereto, Italy. Electronic address:
This chapter reviews the literature concerning the neural basis of three types of figurative expressions, namely, idioms, metaphors, and irony. Besides these three forms of language, which are the most investigated, many other types exist, differing in their linguistic structure and, consequently, in the corresponding comprehension processes. After defining the most common figurative expressions and showing how they differ in terms of linguistic properties, the chapter presents early studies that focused on the role of the right hemisphere (RH) in figurative language comprehension in general, without a clear distinction among different forms.

The chapter explores the difference between the cerebral hemispheres in the three categories of attention described in the fundamental classification of Posner and Petersen: Alerting, Orienting, and Executive Functions. The first section is concerned with the brain localization of visuospatial attention as studied in brain-damaged patients, mainly hemineglect and callosum-sectioned patients. Other important results have been provided more recently by means of brain imaging studies of cortical and subcortical attention networks.

Hypothalamic & Pituitary Center, Moriyama Memorial Hospital, Tokyo 134-0081, Japan.
The 2017 World Health Organization classification described aggressive pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET) as "a tumor with strong invasiveness and rapid growth, which is difficult to treat with surgery, radiation therapy, or drug therapy," which remains a challenge in the treatment of pituitary tumors. Currently, temozolomide (TMZ) is the first-line treatment for aggressive PitNET. However, it is not yet covered by insurance in Japan.

Chronic pain is a significant public health concern that diminishes patients' quality of life and imposes considerable socioeconomic costs. Effective pharmacological treatments for ongoing pain are limited. Recent studies have indicated that various models of chronic pain-such as neuropathic pain, inflammatory pain, and pain associated with cancer-have abnormal levels of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs).
