Article Abstract

: Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are set to revolutionize healthcare, particularly in fields like endoscopic surgery that heavily rely on digital imaging. However, to effectively integrate these technologies and drive future innovations, pediatric surgeons need specialized AI/ML skills. This survey evaluated the current level of readiness and educational needs regarding AI/ML among members of the European Society of Pediatric Endoscopic Surgeons (ESPES). : A structured survey was distributed via LimeSurvey to ESPES members via email before and during the 2024 Annual Conference. Responses were collected over four weeks with voluntary, anonymous participation. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. : A total of 125 responses were received. Two-thirds (65%) of respondents rated their AI/ML understanding as basic, with only 6% reporting advanced knowledge. Most respondents (86%) had no formal AI/ML training. Some respondents (31%) used AI/ML tools in their practice, mainly for diagnostic imaging, surgical planning, and predictive analytics; 42% of the respondents used these tools weekly. The majority (95%) expressed interest in further AI/ML training, preferring online courses, workshops, and hands-on sessions. Concerns about AI/ML in pediatric surgery were high (85%), especially regarding data bias (98%). Half of respondents (51%) expect AI/ML to play a significant role in advancing robotic surgery, oncology, and minimally invasive techniques. A strong majority (84%) felt that the ESPES should lead AI education in pediatric surgery. : This survey presents the ESPES with a unique opportunity to develop a competency map of its membership's AI/ML skills and develop targeted educational programs, thus positioning the society to take the lead in AI education and the advancement of AI solutions in pediatric endosurgery.

Protein kinases are central regulators of cell signaling and play pivotal roles in a wide array of diseases, most notably cancer and autoimmune disorders. The clinical success of kinase inhibitors-such as imatinib and osimertinib-has firmly established kinases as valuable drug targets. However, the development of selective, potent inhibitors remains challenging due to the conserved nature of the ATP-binding site, off-target effects, resistance mutations, and patient-specific variability.

The concept of the circular bioeconomy is a carbon neutral, sustainable system with zero waste. One vision for such an economy is based upon lignocellulosic biomass. This lignocellulosic circular bioeconomy requires CO absorption from biomass growth and the efficient deconstruction of recalcitrant biomass into solubilized and fractionated biopolymers which are then used as precursors for the sustainable production of high-quality liquid fuels, chemical bioproducts and bio-based materials.

Center for Precision Medicine and Genomics, Department of Medicine, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY, 10032, United States.

Background: Negative descriptors in electronic health records (EHR) contribute to worse health outcomes; studies show they are also more prevalent in EHRs of women and racial minorities and affect downstream research biases. Similar and unique patterns of negative descriptors may also exist in the records of blind patients, including those with diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is a preventable but leading cause of blindness in the US that is disproportionally high among women and racial and ethnic minorities.

In 2024, individuals funded by NHGRI to support genomic community resources completed a Self-Assessment Tool (SAT) to evaluate their application of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles and assess their sustainability. By collecting insights from the self-administered questionnaires and conducting personal interviews, a valuable perspective was gained on the FAIRness and sustainability of the NHGRI resources. The results highlighted several challenges and key areas the NHGRI resource community could improve by working together to form recommendations to address these challenges.
