Article Abstract

The field of microbial ecology, evolution, and biodiversity (EEB) is at the leading edge of understanding how microbes shape our biosphere and influence the well-being of humankind and Earth. To that end, EEB is developing new transdisciplinary tools to analyze these ecologically critical, complex microbial communities. The American Society for Microbiology's Council on Microbial Sciences hosted a virtual retreat in 2023 to discuss the trajectory of EEB both within the Society and microbiology writ large. The retreat emphasized the interconnectedness of microbes and their outsized global influence on environmental and host health. The maximal potential impact of EEB will not be achieved without contributions from disparate fields that unite diverse technologies and data sets. In turn, this level of transdisciplinary efforts requires actively encouraging "broad" research, spanning inclusive global collaborations that incorporate both scientists and the public. Together, the American Society for Microbiology and EEB are poised to lead a paradigm shift that will result in a new era of collaboration, innovation, and societal relevance for microbiology.

Introduction: TNM staging systems create prognostic categories by anatomic extent of disease. Whether therapeutically important molecular alterations in NSCLC augment the prognostic information of TNM staging is unclear. To study this, we analyzed molecular data from the ninth edition of the lung cancer staging system.

Background: Carotid blowout syndrome (CBS) is a life-threatening emergency involving the rupture of the carotid arteries and/or branches, often following surgery and radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Our case series aimed to describe airway management strategies, endovascular and surgical approaches, perioperative resuscitation management, and clinical outcomes in a cohort of patients with CBS at a tertiary referral academic health center.

Methods: We retrospectively identified patients presenting with CBS between 2017 and 2021.

Objective: Androgens have been prescribed to alleviate symptoms in midlife women, but evidence regarding benefits and risks remains limited, with no clearly established indications for Testosterone therapy. In many Latin American countries, Testosterone is prescribed without specific guidelines, making it difficult to identify patients who might benefit. This position statement aims to summarize evidence and provide a Latin American perspective on androgen therapy in midlife and older women.
