Article Abstract
Objective: To design and implement a continuing professional development (CPD) program for Cambodian ophthalmologists.
Design: Partnering (twinning) between the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (RANZCO) and the Cambodian Ophthalmological Society (COS).
Participants: Practicing ophthalmologists in Cambodia.
Methods: A conjoint committee comprising 4 ophthalmologists from RANZCO and 3 ophthalmologists from COS was established, supported by a RANZCO administrative team experienced in CPD administration. CPD requirements and recording were adapted from the RANZCO CPD framework. Cambodian ophthalmologists were surveyed during program implementation and after handover to COS.
Results: At the end of the 3-year program at handover to COS, a CPD program and online recording system was established. All 47 (100%) practicing ophthalmologists in Cambodia were registered for CPD, and 21/47 (45%) were actively participating in the COS CPD program online recording. Surveys of attitudes toward CPD demonstrated no significant change.
Conclusions: Partnering was moderately effective in establishing a CPD program for Cambodian ophthalmologists. Uptake of CPD may have been limited by lack of a requirement for CPD for continuing medical licensure in Cambodia. Follow-up will be necessary to demonstrate CPD program longevity.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Ocimum gratissimum L. commonly known as basil, is an herb-like plant frequently mentioned in ethnopharmacological studies due to its widespread availability in local communities and its widespread use in treating inflammatory conditions. In a previous study, we demonstrated that aqueous extracts of Ocimum gratissimum (OGE), which are rich in plant polyphenols such as caffeic acid and isoflavones, can protect skin cells from UVC-induced inflammation and damage in migration and proliferation.

Integrating patient perspectives in medical education is increasingly recognised as critical for patient-centred care. However, many continuing professional development (CPD) programmes - particularly in surgical education - lack a structured approach to involve the patient perspective. This study explored faculty awareness, exposure, engagement and perceived barriers to integrating patient perspectives in surgeon education.

1,2,3-Trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP) is a suspected human carcinogen and a persistent emerging contaminant in groundwater and drinking water. 1,2,3-TCP was historically used as a solvent for cleaning and maintenance, paint and varnish removal, and degreasing, but its sources also include chemical manufacturing processes and application of soil fumigants. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has established a state maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 0.

Base editors create precise genomic edits by directing nucleobase deamination or removal without inducing double-stranded DNA breaks. However, a vast chemical space of other DNA modifications remains to be explored for genome editing. Here we harness the bacterial antiphage toxin DarT2 to append ADP-ribosyl moieties to DNA, unlocking distinct editing outcomes in bacteria versus eukaryotes.

Background: The Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED) has developed the Credential that recognises the qualifications, knowledge and professional development training, including continuing professional development (CPD), that comprise the minimum standard for the safe and effective delivery of treatment for an eating disorder. The current study sought to explore whether the anticipated benefits have translated into positive eating disorder treatment experiences with credentialed clinicians from carers' perspectives.
Methods: Thirteen carers of people living with an eating disorder (ED) were interviewed about their perceptions and experiences of ED treatment from clinicians awarded the ANZAED Eating Disorder Credential.
