Educational materials advocating whole-body donation must be accurate, easy to read, and transparent, as one potential solution to the fact that the supply of donations is not keeping pace with educational demand, thereby disrupting anatomy education programs. The use of AI technologies to supplement communications with prospective donors and next of kin deserves investigation to determine whether LLM-based approaches meet the common requirements for effective communication. This study contributes to the limited literature on LLM-supported communications by presenting a comparative quantitative benchmark and an adaptable evaluation framework.

The author examines the impact of academic medicine's rigid definition of success on the authenticity and well-being of medical students. Through a reflective analysis grounded in personal experience, the author highlights the discrepancy between institutional success metrics-such as perfect grades, prestigious publications, and competitive research grants-and the value of community advocacy, health equity work, and authentic expression. The narrative illustrates how success in medical education often adheres to an unspoken curriculum, promoting assimilation over inclusion and forcing students to choose between authenticity and conformity to advance in their careers.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a diverse and crucial family of membrane receptors, regulating a wide array of physiological processes. Although the involvement of GPCR signaling pathways in modulating key genes associated with insecticide resistance has been documented in various insect species, the molecular mechanisms underlying GPCR-mediated resistance in Cydia pomonella remain largely unknown. To elucidate the molecular basis of lambda-cyhalothrin (LCT) resistance in C.

Clinical Placement Professionals (CPPs) are instrumental in seamlessly connecting academic learning with practical clinical experiences in nursing education. This paper describes the role, responsibilities, challenges, and recommendations for the CPP profession and explores how the utilization of CPPs across academic disciplines varies significantly, with diverse titles, team structures, and fundamental duties among schools of nursing and healthcare systems. As nursing program enrollments surge and clinical placements remain scarce, the value and standardization of the CPP role become paramount in increasing the number of adequately prepared nurses nationwide.
