: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of using low-dose atropine (ATR) at different instillation frequencies on myopia control in a low-myopia population. : A retrospective cohort study was conducted, and patients using 0.01% ATR and exhibiting a myopia degree ranging from +0.00 to -1.00 diopter (D) were included. A total of 32 and 26 eyes from 32 and 26 individuals were included in the daily group and two-day group, respectively. The main outcomes of this study are the progression of the spherical equivalent refraction (SER) and the elongation of the axial length (AXL). The Mann-Whitney U test and generalized linear model were used to perform the statistical analysis. : After a follow-up period of one year, the change in SER was similar between the daily group and two-day group (-0.24 ± 0.09 versus -0.26 ± 0.08, = 0.393). In addition, there was an insignificant difference in AXL elongation between the daily group and two-day group (0.09 ± 0.07 versus 0.10 ± 0.09, = 0.655). The trends observed in SER progression ( = 0.604) and AXL elongation ( = 0.779) were statistically identical between the daily group and the two-day group. : The results of the two-day use of low-dose ATR regarding SER and AXL control are similar to those with the daily use of low-dose ATR in children with low myopia.

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.

Background: Training of Trainers Program that combines both theoretical and practical components and effectively enhance educators’ competencies in interprofessional education are rarely encountered. This study aimed to design and evaluate a Training of Trainers Program in Interprofessional Education intended to enhance participants’ awareness, knowledge, and self-perceived competencies related to the design, implementation, and improvements of interprofessional education practices among healthcare educators.
Methods: The study was planned and conducted between June 2023 and March 2024.

Estradiol (E2), whether endogenous or administered via oral contraceptives (OCs), modulates fear regulation. However, its role in contextual fear signaling, critical for distinguishing threat from safety, remains poorly understood in humans. While prior human studies focused on cue-related extinction recall, animal research suggests that a single high-dose of exogenous E2 generalizes fear to safe contexts.

Background: Focused magnetic stimulation (MagStim) can temporarily and safely open the blood-brain barrier (BBB) for target delivery. We investigated whether opening the BBB with MagStim and delivering atorvastatin-loaded PEGylated liposomes (LipoStatin) would work synergistically for subacute post-stroke treatment.
Methods: Two weeks after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), an injection of 15 mg/ml magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) was performed, followed by 30 minutes of MagStim, in subacute stroke models.

Thailand is rapidly transitioning into an aging society, creating an intergenerational caregiving gap that strains existing support systems. This study evaluated the effectiveness of "Young Care," a community-based intervention designed to enhance youth knowledge, attitudes, and caregiving practices (KAP) toward older adults. A two-day structured training was conducted in Maha Sarakham Province in 2023 using a pre-post mixed-methods design.
