This article summarizes five case studies that examine the relationship between substance abuse and personal injury. The case studies are broken into those involving individuals who developed addictions following their accidents and those who had pre-existing substance abuse issues. The case studies indicate that substance abuse issues after an injury are often linked to both pre-existing factors and difficulties adjusting after the accident. The purpose is to describe how compensable injuries can affect addictive behaviors and substance abuse issues.

Background: Tramadol induced disorder is a new problem.
Objective: To explain the efficacy of low dose of clonidine, baclofen and ibuprofen (NSAID) in the treatment of severe and chronic tramadol dependency (2000 mg daily).
Method: To evaluate the usefulness of non-narcotic drugs in the management of severe tramadol withdrawal symptoms.
Results: Clonidine 0.3 mg, baclofen75 mg and ibuprofen 1200 mg per day is very effective in the management of severe tramadol withdrawal symptoms and craving.
Discussion: Our findings indicates that low dose of clonidine, baclofen and ibuprofen (NSAID) is beneficial in the treatment of severe tramadol dependency. This is a fascinating result.
Conclusion: To our knowledge dramatic effects combination of clonidine, baclofen and ibuprofen in these situations has not been published yet, and this finding is a considerable addition to the literature.Medical Malpractice Claim Trends
This presentation features a compilation of national medical malpractice claim data from 2006 to 2015. It highlights the three most prevalent chief medical factors and patient outcomes by specialty.
Adverse drug reactions
This document defines key terms related to adverse drug reactions such as adverse events, adverse drug reactions, and medication errors. It describes the etiology and various classification systems for adverse drug reactions. The document outlines methods for detecting, reporting, and assessing the severity and seriousness of adverse drug reactions. It also covers predicting and preventing adverse drug reactions, and how to manage adverse drug reactions when they occur. The document emphasizes the importance of reporting all suspected adverse drug reactions to assist in ensuring drug safety.
THE IMPACT OF CLINICAL PHARMACIST IN DETECTION OF
This study analyzed medical records from 80 patients at an internal medicine department in Zagazig, Egypt to identify drug-related problems. The study found that 66.2% of patients experienced drug-drug interactions, with the most common being moderate in severity and fair reliability. Errors included high doses, inappropriate frequencies, and wrong or duplicate drugs. The study recommends including clinical pharmacists in prescribing and monitoring to reduce errors and establish treatment guidelines.
WHY ADDRESS TOBACO USE IN ADDICTION and MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT
This document discusses the high rates of tobacco use among individuals with substance use and mental health disorders, and the negative health impacts of combining tobacco with other substances like alcohol. Nearly half of cigarettes in the US are smoked by those with substance use or mental health issues. Treating tobacco use can improve outcomes for substance abuse treatment by 25% on average, and quitting smoking is associated with reduced depression, anxiety, and stress. However, smokers often report using tobacco to relieve stress despite it actually causing recurring mood fluctuations due to nicotine's stimulant effects.
Falls prevention and the role of the pharmacist
This document discusses the role of pharmacists in falls prevention. It notes that patients on four or more medications are at greater risk of falls, and that regular medication reviews play an important part in reducing falls risk. The document outlines pharmacist interventions like screening for polypharmacy, assessing individual fall risks, prioritizing high-risk medications, and modifying treatment regimens through recommendations and education. It provides an example case study of a patient at risk of falls and how a pharmacist could support medication optimization and risk reduction.

Oral presentation, 21° WONCA World Conference of Family Doctors, 3 november 2016, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Medical errors, negligence, and litigation
The document discusses medical errors and their relationship to negligence and malpractice litigation. Some key points:
- Medical errors are estimated to cause between 44,000-98,000 deaths per year in the US, making it a leading cause of death. However, other studies estimate a lower number of around 5,000 deaths due to errors.
- Only a small percentage (around 1-2%) of medical errors result in negligent injuries. Of those negligent injuries, only 10-13% result in malpractice claims.
- Common reasons for malpractice litigation include needing money, believing there was a cover up, or wanting information or revenge. However, the system rarely identifies or holds providers accountable for substandard care

Use of cardiovascular triggers
This study aimed to detect adverse drug reactions (ADRs) induced by cardiovascular drugs using trigger tools in outpatient departments in Nasik City, India. A total of 180 patient prescriptions were analyzed to identify triggers, which are clues that signal potential ADRs. 21 triggers were found in 11.66% of prescriptions. 14 ADRs were detected using the triggers, for a success rate of 71%. However, 6 triggers did not detect any ADRs, for a failure rate of 29%. The most common ADRs detected were hypotension, hypertension, vertigo and cough. This study demonstrates that trigger tools can effectively detect ADRs, but requires further improvement to reduce the failure rate.
1. introduction to forensic
Forensic pharmacy deals with applying medical and pharmaceutical knowledge to legal matters. It has several branches that examine topics like determining the cause of death, investigating poisoning, and analyzing bodily fluids for evidence. Forensic medicine aims to aid justice by correlating medical facts with legal purposes. It examines medical evidence in crimes involving people, like homicide, assault, and traffic accidents. Forensic medicine is divided into subfields like forensic pathology, toxicology, ballistics, and radiology.
Medical errors
This document discusses medical errors and increasing patient safety. It summarizes several studies that found medical errors are common, with rates of adverse events from around 3-17% of hospital admissions. Errors result in tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths annually. Most errors are due to cognitive mistakes and "system" failures rather than individual negligence. To improve safety, the document argues we must think of errors as systems failures and implement strategies like checklists, standardized procedures, training, and a culture where safety is a top priority and errors are reported to fix underlying issues rather than blame individuals.

Drugs are used for prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure of diseases. However, no drug (prescription drugs inclusive) is entirely free from adverse drug reactions. This study was carried out to investigate the indices of adverse drug reactions as perceived by health workers in Ilorin South Local Government Area, Kwara State.
Adverse drug reactions
This document defines adverse drug reactions and discusses their classification, incidence, and various types including side effects, secondary effects, toxic effects, intolerance, idiosyncrasy, drug allergy, photosensitivity, drug dependence, withdrawal, teratogenicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and iatrogenic diseases. It also covers pharmacovigilance which is the science of detecting, assessing, understanding, and preventing adverse drug reactions and drug-related problems.
Polypharmacy resource_JAN 15_NINA BARNETT
This document provides resources to support the management of polypharmacy and deprescribing. It begins with an overview of key terms such as polypharmacy, oligopharmacy, and deprescribing. It then discusses the increase in polypharmacy among older adults and some of the risks associated with inappropriate polypharmacy. The document is structured to provide background information on polypharmacy, tools and initiatives to support practice, and references. It aims to assist healthcare professionals with medication reviews and decisions around deprescribing for patients taking multiple medications.
Medical ethics
Medical ethics deals with the moral principles that should guide medical professionals in their dealings with patients, each other, and the state. There are various codes of ethics that have been developed over time to provide guidance. The regulation of medical practice is overseen by organizations like the World Medical Association, National Medical Council, and State Medical Councils. These councils are responsible for functions like recognizing medical qualifications and institutions, handling disciplinary matters, and ensuring compliance with regulations. Both medical professionals and patients have certain rights and responsibilities in the patient-doctor relationship.
Adverse Drug Reactions - Identifying, Causality & Reporting
This document discusses adverse drug reactions, including definitions, classifications, monitoring, documentation, and reporting. It defines an adverse drug reaction as an unintended response to a drug that occurs at normal doses. Adverse events are classified as serious if they result in death, hospitalization, disability, or required intervention. Adverse reactions are categorized as Type A or Type B. Monitoring involves identifying reactions, assessing causality using methods like the Naranjo algorithm, documenting in forms, and reporting serious reactions to authorities.
Severity, seriousness, predictability and preventability assessment
This document discusses the assessment of severity and seriousness of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). It defines severity as the intensity of a medical event, categorizing ADRs as mild, moderate or severe based on management steps. It also describes several classification scales for ADR severity, including one by Karch and Lasagna and the Modified Hartwig's and Siegel Scale. The document defines seriousness classification according to regulatory criteria. It then discusses preventability and predictability of ADRs, describing scales by Schumock and Thornton for preventability and the distinction between Type A and Type B reactions in terms of predictability.
Polypharmacy
This document discusses polypharmacy, which is defined as the administration of many drugs simultaneously or an excessive number of drugs. Polypharmacy is common in elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions. It can be appropriate if all drugs achieve therapeutic objectives and minimize adverse effects, but is often inappropriate if drugs are unnecessary or cause harm. Tools like Beers Criteria, STOPP, and START can help identify inappropriate polypharmacy and guide deprescribing. The document outlines factors contributing to polypharmacy and consequences like adverse drug reactions, providing strategies to assess medication benefit-harm and safely discontinue unnecessary drugs.

Text Snippets to Corroborate Medical Relations: An Unsupervised Approach usin...
Knowledge graphs have been shown to significantly improve search results. Usually populated by subject matter experts, relations therein need to keep up to date with medical literature in order for search to remain relevant. Dynamically identifying text snippets in literature that confirm or deny knowledge graph triples is increasingly becoming the differentiator between trusted and untrusted medical decision support systems. This work describes our approach to mapping triples to medical text. A medical knowledge graph is used as a source of triples that are used to find matching sentences in reference text. Our unsupervised approach uses phrase embeddings and cosine similarity measures, and boosts candidate text snippets when certain key concepts exist. Using this approach, we can accurately map semantic relations within the medical knowledge graph to text snippets with a precision of 61.4% and recall of 86.3%. This method will be used to develop a novel application in the future to retrieve medical relations and corroborating snippets from medical text given a user query.
Reporting and monitoring adverse events with cancer treatment [final]
This document discusses reporting and monitoring of adverse events from cancer treatment. It begins with objectives of understanding adverse drug events, their importance, common events from cancer treatment, and FDA reporting processes. It then presents a case study of a patient who developed erythema and burning sensations on her hands and heels after her fifth chemotherapy session. Various topics are covered like defining adverse events, reactions, and serious reactions. Common adverse effects of chemotherapy like alopecia, nausea, and peripheral neuropathy are discussed. The importance of monitoring and reporting adverse events is emphasized to improve patient safety.
Approach to poisoning. famco
This document discusses important toxins and poisonings that medical professionals must be aware of. It covers the following key points:
- Identifies common toxic substance groups like opioids, sedatives, and toxins causing various "toxidromes" or symptom clusters.
- Explains how to conduct an initial assessment of a poisoned patient, including stabilizing vital signs, gathering exposure details, considering decontamination or antidotes.
- Describes common toxidromes caused by substances like sympathomimetics, anticholinergics, cholinergics, opioids, and sedatives/hypnotics; and their associated signs and symptoms.
- Emphasizes the importance
Polypharmacy full guidance v2
This document provides guidance on reviewing polypharmacy, which is the use of multiple medications. It is important to review polypharmacy because many elderly patients are on multiple drugs but around half may not be taken as prescribed and adverse drug reactions are common, especially with more comorbidities rather than age. The guidance aims to help practitioners review medications and potentially deprescribe those where risks outweigh benefits by providing tools and considerations. Key points are identifying high-risk patients for review, focusing on certain drug classes, and balancing multiple treatment guidelines for individual patient circumstances through comprehensive medication reviews.
Polypharmacy quiz
Payne (2016) argues that defining polypharmacy as the use of multiple medications is too simplistic. He introduces the term "problematic polypharmacy" which refers to inappropriate polypharmacy that does not provide benefits and can cause harm through interactions or adverse effects. The study found the highest rates of polypharmacy for conditions like cardiovascular disease. Richards et al (2014) concluded that self-administration of medication in hospitals may provide some benefits like increased patient knowledge but its effects on other outcomes like compliance are unclear due to limitations of the studies.

This presentation will cover information about polypharmacy in older populations. The presentation will allow explain the use of technology such as HomeMeds as a tool to prevent adverse reactions in older populations.
Marijuana and heart disease. What are news
Marijuana use is common in the US, especially among younger adults. While marijuana is used recreationally, it is also used medically to treat conditions like nausea, appetite stimulation, pain relief, and muscle spasms. Recent research has found associations between marijuana use and increased risk of acute coronary syndromes and cardiac complications, especially when used immediately before the event. Ongoing clinical trials are exploring marijuana's potential medical benefits for other conditions.

related anxiety and depression and also methamphetamine craving.
Discussion: This study lightens that high dose of buprenorphine is quite effective in the lowering
of anxiety, depression, and chest pain and methamphetamine withdrawal symptoms. Hence, our
finding is a substantial addition to the literature.
Conclusions: We resulted that a single high dose of buprenorphine could quickly subside
methamphetamine induced anxiety, depression, psychogenic pain and withdrawal symptoms.
It looks that buprenorphine may be a safe and valuable drug for the treatment of the majority of
methamphetamine associated disorders. Elite Event eBlast.v2

Management of Acute Heart Failure
This document discusses the management of acute heart failure. It notes that current therapies are based on improving hemodynamics and symptoms but lack evidence. There is heterogeneity in treatment approaches and outcomes. Biomarkers can help diagnosis but accuracy is still limited. The paradigm is that patients receive diuretics and vasodilators in the emergency department to relieve symptoms, but often still have residual congestion on discharge. This leads to high readmission rates. A shift in approach may be needed to better address the underlying disease progression.

Dana harm reduction 2
The document discusses harm reduction programs as a tool to prevent health issues for people who use drugs. It defines harm reduction programs and their principles, like respecting human dignity. The literature review discusses evidence that needle exchange programs and methadone maintenance can reduce mortality, HIV, and HCV. However, some argue harm reduction may encourage drug use. The research aims to analyze advantages and disadvantages of applying harm reduction in Qatar. It hypothesizes benefits in preventing harm but may increase addiction. The importance is exploring a new perspective for Arabic societies that traditionally reject addiction.
Statement of the problem paper-1
Opioid addiction is a growing problem that significantly impacts individuals and society. Social workers are on the front lines addressing this issue through clinical work, education, and intervention programs. Research shows there are many triggers that can lead to opioid use, including use of other drugs like tobacco, avoidance of withdrawal symptoms, exposure to peer groups that use drugs, and conditioning of the brain to see drugs as rewarding despite negative consequences. Understanding these triggers is important for social workers to help prevent and intervene in opioid addiction.
Debating the Future of Spontaneous Reporting - Dr. Andrew Rut, CEO and Founde...
MyMeds&Me CEO Andrew Rut proposes the debate motion, “With the changes in society and increased use of electronic media, the role of the health professional in Yellow Card reporting will be diminished” at the MHRA Scientific Conference in Edinburgh - this year commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Yellow Card reporting scheme.
It is well recognized that patient reports enhance signal detection and enable earlier recognition of safety issues . Given the significant level of under-reporting of adverse events by HCPs (Only between <1% - 6% of suspected ADRs experienced by patients are reported) and the apparent appetite from patients to share their experiences, as seen in social media and patient forums globally, we believe that we need to simplify reporting processes and enable all patients to report online with ease.
Clean data direct from source, without alteration, is the life-blood of drug safety organisations. PV specialists evaluating the safety of medicines rely upon rapid access to clean, complete, consistent data from source and patients ultimately are that source. It is essential to capture this data and therefore build a true picture for future signal detection activities.

Understanding Mental Ill Health Essay
This document provides an overview of understanding mental health problems and disorders according to psychiatric classification systems. It discusses the main forms of mental health problems, including mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders like phobias and obsessive-compulsive disorder, psychotic disorders, and substance-related disorders. The focus is on how these problems impact individuals and their social networks. Alternative frameworks for understanding mental distress are also considered.

This study developed and evaluated a "one stop service" model providing integrated care for drug users at a drug dependence treatment center in southern Thailand. Fifty-six intravenous and other drug users received services including methadone maintenance, HIV/AIDS testing and counseling, health education, tuberculosis screening, antiretroviral therapy, and harm reduction. Most participants were satisfied with the integrated services. The model helped address barriers to care by providing comprehensive services in a single location and establishing a self-help support group. The study concluded the one stop service model should be expanded to improve care for drug users and reduce HIV transmission in Thailand.

Assessing drug safety in clinical trials
The document discusses leveraging analytics tools and ontologies to understand and compare the safety profiles of drugs. It notes that one of the key factors in drug approval is safety, and understanding the safety landscape of competing drugs is important. The approach presented aggregates adverse event data from clinical trials to create a heat map comparing safety profiles of different drugs or classes. This allows users to easily identify areas of safety concerns or differences between drug candidates.
Detection of Drug Interactions via Android Smartphone: Design and Implementat...
Despite the morbidity and cases of widespread drug poisoning, clinical guidelines are largely written by taking into account only one treatment at a time. The cumulative impact of multiple treatments is rarely considered. Drug treatment for people with several diseases produces a complex regimen called “polypharmacy” with a potential combination of harmful and even lethal drugs that can be prevented. This polypharmacy causes in many cases the death of some people due to drug interactions. The vast majority of these deaths can be prevented by detecting interactions before taking these medications. But the problem is that such information exists in a state that is difficult to access for the general public, much less for people with little knowledge in the field. Although the pharmacist is unmistakable and most viable source to avoid such a problem, he cannot know what the patient does not mention because he is not aware of what may affect his treatment. To remedy this, we aim in this paper to develop an ergonomic Android application that will inform the patient about the potential risks of such drug interactions. The application is optimized to handle various databases and operate automation of QR code.
Preventing Medication Errors: A $21 Billion Opportunity
With a potential industry-wide savings of almost $21 billion and an impact on more than seven million patient lives, preventing harmful medication error is a significant improvement opportunity for health systems. Also known as adverse drugs events (ADEs), harmful medication errors comprise about 37 percent of all medical harm. Approximately 50 percent of ADEs are preventable, making their reduction a highly impactable area of patient safety.
Current data and analytics workflow tools are making ADE surveillance, monitoring, and prevention increasingly more effective with four key capabilities:
Perspective surveillance for ADEs and identification of previously undescribed ADEs.
Identification of the root cause of many ADEs by drug class.
Prescription at appropriate doses for patients with compromised kidney or liver functions.
Identification of different types of harm to find causes.

Addiction
By addiction we usually mean continued involvement and dependence
on drugs, including alcohol and tobacco. But addiction can also
include an abnormal dependency on many other things, including
pornography, gambling and food.
South Africa’s 2nd Biennial Anti-Substance Abuse Summit in
Durban, with the theme ‘An Integrated Approach: Towards a Drug-
free Society’, was recently hosted by the Department of Social
Development and the Central Drug Authority (CDA) and was
attended by many ministers and top politicians. However, Charles
Parry and Bronwyn Myers in this issue1 argue persuasively that it is
time to move away from the outdated political rhetoric of a ‘drug-free
society’ and to engage in the work of formulating and implementing
an evidence-based policy.
Problem gambling, another destructive form of addiction, also
potentially has devastating effects on individuals and their families.
Collins and colleagues,2 also in this issue, describe the effective
management of this problem by the industry-supported National
Responsible Gambling Programme (NRGP).
Substance abuse can be classified in terms of its potential harms.
Nutt and colleagues3 ranked drugs on the basis of their potential
for physical harm, dependence (addiction), and effects on families,
communities and society, thereby offering a rational solution to a
previously arbitrary classification. Tobacco is one of the most addictive
substances, although its harmful effects are usually only apparent
after long periods of time. Addiction to the more psychoactive
drugs often poses more immediate and bigger problems to families
and societies. It is in the management of these that supporters and
opponents of the decriminalisation of drugs often share a common
view, namely that such people require expert medical and other help
and support and not stigmatisation or incarceration in jail.
A recent book Recovery RSA: A Resource Book for Those Affected
by Addiction4 has made a timely appearance. Compiled by Barbara
Hutton, it draws on the experiences of many experts in the field and is
aimed at addicts, families, significant others, professionals and support
people. There is something of value for everyone with an interest in the
field. The somewhat uneven length and quality of the chapters and the
interspaced personal experiences of those with addictions strangely do
not detract from the value of the book – professionals and lay people
will return to the areas that most interest them.
The reasons for people becoming addicted to psychoactive
substances are dealt with by Rodger Meyer. He describes the
pathogenesis and the process of becoming addicted and notes that
there is still very little agreement among authorities regarding the
true nature of the condition. People commence drug or alcohol use
for re.
Reply 1 he safety of our patients is an important.docx
Patient safety is critical in healthcare and focuses on preventing medical errors that can harm patients. A 1999 report found that up to 100,000 patients die each year due to preventable errors. This led to initiatives like the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to develop tools to improve safety. However, errors are increasingly common in outpatient settings. Reasons include issues with information flow during patient handoffs between providers and human factors like poor documentation that can lead to missed diagnoses or medication errors. Reducing errors requires improved communication and ensuring healthcare workers have the proper expertise.
The Shifting Landscape of Healthcare in Asia-Pacific
People in the world’s most populated continent are living longer, but not necessarily healthier, lives with overburdened, provider-led healthcare systems. As life expectancy across Asia-Pacific continues to rise, the region now carries a huge global burden of non-communicable diseases such as cancer and mental illnesses. As a result, governments in the Asia-Pacific region will need to consider policies and initiatives that prioritise improvements in care for people with a wide range of chronic conditions—but they must maintain vigilance against infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.
These are among the findings of a new study by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU): The shifting landscape of healthcare in Asia-Pacific: A look at Australia, China, India, Japan and South Korea, sponsored by Janssen. Through in-depth desk research and interviews with healthcare experts, the study examines the disease-burden challenges facing healthcare systems in these countries.

Toxicological profile for endosulfan
The document is a toxicological profile for endosulfan produced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in September 2000. It was reviewed by a panel of experts in endosulfan's properties, health effects, exposure risks, and quantification of risks to humans. The profile provides a public health statement on endosulfan's toxic properties and reviews health effects by route of exposure and length of exposure based on human and animal studies. It also addresses children's health issues related to endosulfan exposure and methods for reducing toxic effects and biomarkers of exposure.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

Five case studies are broken down into (a) post-accident addiction and (b) pre- accident addiction. These vignettes indicate that within a personal injury the problem of substance use or abuse is hardly independent of other factors. It is linked to pre- accident factors as well as post-accident adjustment.
