The Alliance for Continuing Education in the Health Professions' Position on Artificial Intelligence in CPD.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has profound implications for continuing professional development (CPD) in healthcare. Recognising the need for guidance in this evolving landscape, the Alliance for Continuing Education in the Health Professions (the Alliance), a global association of CPD professionals and stakeholders who share and implement best practices across healthcare settings and professions, has developed a position statement on the ethical use of AI in CPD. This article outlines the process of creating this statement, its key principles, and the rationale behind its development.

Identity Disturbance in Borderline Personality Disorder: A Scoping Review Protocol.

Background: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a complex mental health condition characterized by instability in interpersonal relationships, affect regulation, and impulse control. A core feature of BPD is identity disturbance, marked by a persistently unstable self-image and sense of self. Despite clinical recognition, the precise nature of identity disturbance remains ambiguous, with no clear consensus on its specific manifestations and measurable parameters.

Cuticular and Exuvial Biomass and Nitrogen Economy During Assimilation and Growth of the American Grasshopper, .

The role of nitrogen metabolism during insect development and reproduction is of primary importance for the success of a species. We conducted a study designed to examine the nitrogen economy of from hatching to adulthood, focusing on the processes associated with the assimilation and growth linked to cuticular nitrogen investment, as well as the exuvial nitrogen losses resulting from molting. During development, the grasshopper biomass from the egg stage to the adult stage increased 7-fold for males and 9-fold for females, while their total body nitrogen content increased 23-fold for males and 25-fold for females.

Cuticular nitrogen economy during development in the cockroach Cryptocercus punctulatus and the termite Neotermes jouteli.

The role of nitrogen during insect development and reproduction is key in the success of a species, and is of primary importance in wood feeding taxa. Based on comparison of xylophagous, one-piece termites to the termite sister group, subsocial wood-feeding cockroaches in the genus Cryptocercus, it has been proposed that the evolution of termite eusociality involved a fundamental shift in nitrogen allocation strategies. Cryptocercus exhibits a nitrogen storage economy, with individuals gradually increasing in size and cuticular density over a years-long developmental period.
