What Was The Educational Challenge?: Due to the complexity of professionalism, medical education programs worldwide have implemented several new support and assessment tools based on unprofessional behavior to help students form their professional identities. Despite several attempts to conceptualize professionalism, providing a framework for faculty members and students is still challenging.

What Was The Solution?: To provide a simple yet clear framework to support and assess clinical and preclinical settings, we used four domains for professional identity formation: Involvement, Integrity, Interaction, and Introspection.

Soy and Isoflavones: Revisiting Their Potential Links to Breast Cancer Risk.

Nutrients

August 2025

Department Feed & Food, Bordeaux Sciences Agro, 1 Cours du Général de Gaulle, Gradignan Cedex, 33175 Bordeaux, France.

Soy has a long history of consumption in Asia and was traditionally prepared by rinsing, cooking, and simmering, methods which remove estrogenic isoflavones (Isofls). Population studies have indicated that soy and/or Isofls may be associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer (BC), while in vitro and experimental data indicate dose-related proliferative effects of Isofls on breast cells. This review attempts to decipher the role of soy and Isofls in the risk of BC in women, since previous studies have suggested a lack of association with BC.

Understanding fish physiological responses to thermal acclimation is crucial for addressing global climate change threats to aquaculture sustainability. We investigated lipid and fatty acids in the muscle and liver of the catfish Horabagrus brachysoma acclimated to 26 (control), 31, 33 and 36 °C for 30 days. The total lipid, phospholipid, triglyceride, and free fatty acid significantly decreased, while cholesterol significantly increased (P < 0.

Growth rate and finishing system alter beef color and early postmortem metabolism in Bos indicus crossbred cattle.

Meat Sci

August 2025

Faculdade de Zootecnia e Engenharia de Alimentos, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Pirassununga, SP 13635-900, Brazil.. Electronic address:

The aim of this study was to explore the effects of growth rate and finishing system (feedlot or pasture) on postmortem muscle metabolism and subsequent beef color development. Seventy-two Angus × Nellore crossbred steers were randomly assigned to one of four treatment combinations: 1) feedlot, high growth rate (FH); 2) feedlot, low growth rate (FL); 3) pasture, high growth rate (PH) and 4) pasture, low growth rate (PL). Animals were harvested either at a constant body weight (BW; 530 kg) or days on feed (DOF; 140 d).
