There is no such thing as a validated prediction model

Ben Van Calster, Ewout W. W. Steyerberg, Laure Wynants, Maarten van Smeden

Summary: Clinical prediction models should be validated before implementation, as the performance of a model may vary across patient populations and measurement procedures. Validation studies should focus on understanding and quantifying heterogeneity and monitoring performance over time, to ensure that prediction models remain up-to-date and safe for clinical decision-making.

There is no such thing as strategic design

Kees Dorst, Rodger Watson

Summary: The concept of 'strategic design' has been identified as a collection of evolving practices, but the literature lacks clarity on what strategic design actually entails and how it leads to strategic impact. This paper challenges the notion of strategic design by studying a design intervention over a 10-year period to critically analyze its strategic impact. The findings are summarized in a fledgling 'Game Changers' model.

There is no such thing as a short-term issue

Michael K. MacKenzie

Summary: This paper challenges the assumption that it is possible to clearly distinguish between short- and long-term issues in public affairs and concludes that such distinctions are not useful in public affairs and institutional design. Instead of adopting special institutions to deal with long-term issues, the author argues for general-purpose institutions that can handle the temporal complexities inherent in all public issues.

Is there such a thing as a 'good statistical learner'?

Louisa Bogaerts, Noam Siegelman, Morten H. Christiansen, Ram Frost

Summary: Research on individual differences in learning statistical structure suggests the existence of variability in cognitive abilities, but the hypothesis of a general statistical learning capacity that can classify individuals as 'good' or 'bad' learners lacks strong evidence. An alternative perspective focusing on the variability of statistical environments within different cognitive domains has been proposed, leading to a different outlook on statistical learning research when considering learning tuned to real-world sensory inputs.

There is no such thing as a predatory journal

Mike Downes

Summary: The main points of this passage are that journals cannot engage in predation, and the predators are the CEOs of publishing companies, journal owners, and other complicit individuals. Those who commit fraud and identity theft should be prosecuted, and less time and effort should be spent on scholarly investigations while more should be devoted to prosecutions.

Polygenic sex determination in vertebrates-is there any such thing?

Manfred Schartl, Arthur Georges, Jennifer A. Marshall Graves

Summary: Genetic sex determination in most vertebrates is controlled by a single master sex gene, but there are also more complex systems, such as polygenic sex determination, where multiple genes interact to determine sex. However, many of the claims for polygenic sex determination in vertebrates are either transient states during sex chromosome turnover or aberrant systems in species hybrids. To avoid confusion, a consistent nomenclature for genetic sex determination systems is proposed.

No such thing as the perfect match: Bayesian Model Averaging for treatment evaluation

Riccardo Lucchetti, Luca Pedini, Claudia Pigini

Summary: Propensity Score Matching is a popular approach for evaluating treatment effects, but the issue of model uncertainty is often overlooked. This study addresses this problem by using Bayesian Model Averaging and applying it to the case of the 2014 Italian tax credit reform. The results show that model uncertainty has a significant impact on the estimated treatment effects.

Re-examining the integration of routine and adaptive expertise: there is no such thing as routine from a motor control perspective

Rune Dall Jensen, Ryan Brydges, Lawrence Grierson

Summary: This article argues that the study of adaptive expertise in health professions education has mainly focused on cognitive skills, neglecting the processes of adaptation in precision technical skills. The authors challenge the misconception that repetitive practice is monotonous, and propose that all skilled movement reflects components of adaptive expertise. They aim to reconcile misconceptions, offer principles for enhancing adaptive expertise in precision skill training, and expand the conversation between routine and adaptive forms of expertise in health professions education.

Bartonella quintana Transmitted by Head Lice: An Outbreak of Trench Fever in Senegal

Alissa Hammoud, Meriem Louni, Florence Fenollar, Hubert Bassene, Masse Sambou, Nathalie Duclos, Georges Diatta, Cheikh Sokhna, Anthony Levasseur, Didier Raoult, Oleg Mediannikov

Summary: The current paradigm of trench fever transmission by body lice is challenged by the isolation of identical strains of Bartonella quintana from patients and head lice. Confirmation of head lice as a vector will have implications for the treatment and prevention of louse-borne diseases. This study provides evidence of head lice vectorial capacity by detecting live B. quintana in head lice and finding genetic identity between strains from patients' blood and head lice during an outbreak.

Summary: Blood is normally sterile, but bacteria in the bloodstream indicate an anomaly. By performing a blood culture on a patient with thalassemia major, a new strain of Streptococcus was isolated and identified through phenotypic, phylogenetic, and genomic characteristics analysis. Named Streptococcus thalassemiae sp. nov., this strain showed similarity to Streptococcus mitis but had significant differences based on DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity analysis. This research demonstrates the importance of studying bacterial strains in blood cultures for accurate diagnosis.
