CONCLUSIONS: TearCare is a cost-effective treatment for MGD-related DED, offering both clinical benefits and cost savings over CsA.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming health care delivery and education, offering both opportunities and challenges. Because AI tools become more integrated into clinical practice, educators are exploring their potential to enhance learning, improve decision making, and prepare future providers for technology-rich environments. However, the use of AI in health care education raises concerns about academic integrity, overreliance, and the risk of AI-generated misinformation, known as...

This paper develops a vision for The Ecological Genome Project: an aspirational, global endeavour to connect human genomic sciences with the ethos of ecological sciences. The Project's goal is to strengthen interdisciplinary networks that relate to diverse initiatives using genomic technologies, with respect to shared ethical frameworks and governance structures. To this end, this paper proposes a practical definition of ecogenomics to align various methodologies and values in a single...

CONCLUSION: The consortium welcomes new teams on an ongoing basis. Recommendations are especially useful in such ultra-rare degenerative diseases. The real-life observational study seems to be an appropriate model to improve knowledge, including the assessment of treatment efficacy when the prevalence of the disease does not allow the setting up of clinical trials.

Polymorphonuclear neutrophils are pivotal players in the innate immune response of dairy cows. Their functionality (phagocytosis [PC] and oxidative burst [OB]) and gene expression patterns, however, can be modulated by varying energetic conditions. Energetic fluctuations are particularly evident in periparturient dairy cows, when distinct levels of negative energy balance can trigger PMN dysfunction. This study aimed to assess how different energetic conditions affect PMN functionality and to...
