The article discusses the rapid evolution of computer vision methods in the field of pathology, particularly focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) applications. It highlights the advancements in training deep-learning classifiers using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and the emergence of self-supervised learning techniques to reduce the need for extensive annotations. The development of computational pathology foundation models, multiple-instance learning (MIL) frameworks, and innovations in annotation techniques are also explored. The article emphasizes the potential benefits of AI in pathology while acknowledging the importance of pathologist involvement and understanding of these evolving methods.

Theory is a key component in nursing scholarship. A fundamental aim of nursing scholarship is to generate understanding of processes and human experiences of health. The combined practices of nursing science and the profession can be uniquely beneficial to theory development. However, traditional views of science in nursing may dampen the synergy between these two practices for developing nursing theories. In this article, I present particular ideas about nursing theory today, including some traditions that we may need to transcend, drawing from current thinking in philosophy of science and nursing science.

The paper replies to three issues that Fedlman raises in his assessment research since the 1991 National Institute of Mental Health Social Work Task Force Report. Three topics are addressed, the need to expand and better prepare the social work research workforce, the profession's current research infrastructure, and improving research- to-practice research translation. Ideas for workforce growth include attracting more students with articulation of social work's social justice and research missions, increasing doctoral education rigor, and peer review of doctoral education programs as a tool for program improvement. The Group for the Advancement of Doctoral Education has contributed to research education progress with its program standards, but not all programs meet these standards. Research to practice can be aided by the creation of AI-based tools. The profession needs better data on research productivity and infrastructure in research-intensive schools in order to raise needed resources for research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses various topics related to ophthalmic surgery, including a case study on a perforated globe secondary to retrobulbar anesthesia, the debate between prophylactic laser photocoagulation and early vitrectomy for acute retina necrosis management, and a case of severe anemia with unilateral swollen nerve and white-centered retinal hemorrhages. It also highlights the Greek Vitreoretinal Society's mission, upcoming scientific conference, and commitment to professional development. The text provides insights from experts on the management of acute retinal necrosis, emphasizing the importance of individualized treatment approaches and early diagnosis. Additionally, it presents a case study of severe anemia-related retinal findings and optic nerve swelling, underscoring the need to consider systemic disorders in such cases.

The Annual Report to the ESA Council from the 109th Annual Meeting in July 2024 provides detailed information on the Ecological Society of America's (ESA) activities, including membership counts, strategic goals, educational initiatives, and diversity programs. The report highlights efforts to foster inclusive participation in science and discusses challenges and successes in ESA's publishing program. Various sections within ESA, such as the C&E Section, Plant Population Ecology Section, Policy Section, Public and Private Sector Ecologists Section, Rangeland Ecology Section, Researchers at Undergraduate Institutions Section, and Soil Ecology Section, are actively engaged in promoting research, communication, and engagement in their respective fields. The sections are focused on expanding membership, providing mentorship opportunities, organizing events, and promoting collaboration among ecologists. [Extracted from the article]

The Obesity Society's awards and grants programs recognize significant research achievements and contributions to the understanding, treatment, and prevention of obesity. Various awards are given to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the field of obesity, such as the George A. Bray Founders Award, the Friends of Albert (Mickey) Stunkard Lifetime Achievement Award, and the TOPS Research Achievement Award. Recipients of these awards have made significant impacts on the scientific and clinical understanding of obesity and have contributed to improving the lives of those affected by obesity through research, mentorship, and public service.

The article "Sociodemographic and Linguistic Disparities in Tube Feeding Among Canadian Nursing Home Residents With Advanced Dementia" published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society in 2025 examines the rates of tube feeding among Canadian nursing home residents with advanced dementia. The study found that the annual prevalence of tube feeding decreased from 2006 to 2022, with disparities observed across various sociodemographic and linguistic factors. The research highlights the need to address language barriers and improve healthcare equity for nursing home residents living with advanced dementia. [Extracted from the article]

The transition from graduate education to clinical practice is a pivotal phase in the career of advanced practice RNs (APRNs). This transition is often marked by a phenomenon known as transition shock, characterized by feelings of anxiety, self-doubt, and inadequacy as new APRNs adjust to the demands of clinical practice.
