Summary: The GABAergic periglomerular (PG) cells in the olfactory bulb are proposed to act as a high-pass filter by selectively blocking weak stimulus signals within a single glomerulus. Despite being more easily activated, PG cells are not significantly more responsive to weak stimuli compared to external tufted cells (eTCs). The excitation/inhibition balance within the glomeruli can support a high-pass filter by various factors, ultimately enhancing stimulus contrast independently of cell-intrinsic properties.

Summary: Present-day river forms and processes are influenced by anthropogenic modifications such as dams, embankments, and gravel mining. Establishing causal links between channel morphology and single impacts can be challenging when multiple human interventions interact with natural changes. Through a study on the Rhone River, it was found that the effect of dams on the river's armor was negligible compared to the legacy of natural changes and embankments.

Summary: Parasite-mediated selection may not lead to divergent evolutionary responses and assortative mating among closely related species, as observed differences in infection in the wild between two closely related cichlid fish species in Lake Victoria appear to be mainly driven by ecology-related effects rather than intrinsic species differences in immunological traits. Hybrids did not differ in infection from either parental species, suggesting that parasite-mediated selection in the wild may not be generating significant evolutionary outcomes at this point.

Summary: This study examines the effects of a multi-domain physical exercise and nutrition intervention on pre-frailty reversal and finds that intrinsic capacity may contribute to this reversal. The results suggest that focusing solely on locomotion and vitality domains through exercise and nutrition interventions may not be sufficient to optimize pre-frailty reversal.

Summary: This study aims to determine whether there are interactions between anodal tDCS and oscillated tDCS stimulation patterns to increase the power of endogenous brain oscillations. Results showed that both tDCS and otDCS increased power in specific frequency bands. The otDCS-tDCS stimulation pattern had a more significant effect compared to the tDCS-otDCS pattern.

Summary: In this study, it was found that METTL3 inhibited VSMC proliferation by activating autophagosome formation. The effects of METTL3 on VSMC proliferation and autophagy were mediated by mTOR but not CDK1.

Summary: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in telework, leading to a call for studying the impacts of imposed telework on work and well-being. In response, this study examined the effects of telework on perceived productivity, work engagement, and social isolation during the early stages of the pandemic. The study also explored the role of knowledge sharing and supervisor social support in these effects. Findings showed that telework was negatively correlated with productivity and engagement, and positively correlated with social isolation. Knowledge sharing had a positive relationship with the outcomes but did not mediate the effects of telework. However, supervisor social support moderated the relationship between telework and knowledge sharing.

Summary: The paper proposes an organizational taxonomy based on previous research to conceptualize and categorize the results of competency-based medical education (CBME) across three domains (focus, level, timeline), and provides examples of educational intervention results across medical specialties using this taxonomy.

Summary: Bibliometrics is a study of academic publishing that uses statistics to describe trends, similar to epidemiology in analyzing data about publications. This article introduces key concepts and methods of bibliometrics, providing examples of its application in health professions education and proposing future research directions. Health professions educators can use bibliometric reports and methodologies in their studies.

Summary: This study evaluated the fidelity of competence committee implementation in Canadian postgraduate specialist training programs during the transition to competency-based medical education. The results showed heterogeneity in committee size, review of assessment data, and determination of entrustable professional activity achievement, which may contribute to the variable challenges faced by programs during the transition to CBME.

Summary: This study evaluated the readiness of Canadian postgraduate training programs to implement Competence by Design (CBD), a model of Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME). The majority of respondents were supportive of successful CBD implementation, but there were also challenges that need to be addressed for future improvement.

Summary: The objective of this study was to develop 14 best practice recommendations to enhance the transition to practice phase of emergency medicine training and the career period of junior attending physicians. These recommendations were based on a literature review, survey results, and expert discussions, and were presented and discussed at a symposium attended by members of the Canadian emergency medicine community.

Summary: This study examines the interdisciplinary nature of medical education research by analyzing the citations of articles in medical education journals. The results indicate that medical education research shows increasing interdisciplinarity over time, with a growing diversity of topics and represented categories. This suggests the potential and opportunities for enhanced interdisciplinary collaborations in the field of medical education.
