Enhancing emotional intelligence in medical education: a systematic review of interventions by Sabyasachi Maity, Samantha Michelle De Filippis, Alexander Aldanese, Melissa A. McCulloch, Alexis P. Sandor, Jan E. Perez Cajigas, Yiorgos Antoniadis, Te-keila D. T. Rochester, Lauren Elizabeth Carter, Alexander M. Preisig, Julia Ali Kobeissi, Narendra Nayak, Jaime E. Mendoza, Samal Nauhria

“…These themes were subsequently mapped onto Daniel Goleman’s model of Emotional Intelligence to provide a structured theoretical framework.DiscussionThe findings of this review highlight that various interventions hold promise in enhancing EI among medical students, leading to improvements in personal well-being, communication skills, and professional development. The most effective approach appears to be a multifaceted, longitudinal integration of EI-focused strategies throughout medical training, incorporating repeated practice, guided reflection, faculty mentorship, and structured debriefing. …”

Leukemia risk and rate of radiation dose accumulation. Part 2: Comparative analysis of leukocytic indices and dynamics of peripheral blood values in relation to external gamma-expo... by S. F. Sosnina, A. M. Yurkin, P. V. Okatenko, S. A. Rogacheva, E. A. Gruzdeva, M. E. Sokolnikov

“…A number of hematopoietic features were detected among people exposed to production radiation: 1) cytopenia in relation to minimum accumulated doses of radiation exposure in both studied groups; 2) more pronounced lability of hemograms in relation to increased accumulation dose of external gamma-exposure and period of radiation exposure among individuals who had developed leukemia in future in comparison to controls; 3) correlation between peripheral blood cells and accumulated doses of external gamma-exposure was characterized by the highest values of coefficients among individuals with future leukemias; 4) myeloblasts were most often registered among all the blast cells; proerythroblasts were characterized by the shortest average period from the start of the exposure and to the moment of their appearance in the peripheral blood flow (178 days in the study group); polychromatophile erythroblasts in peripheral blood were registered only among the workers with future leukemia; 5) when comparing leukocytic indices in proportion to the categories of accumulated doses of external gamma-exposure, a pronounced variability in the ratio of blood cells was observed among exposed individuals who were subsequently diagnosed with leukemia, especially in the range of 2.0-2.5 Gy. …”

3D genomic features across >50 diverse cell types reveal insights into the genomic architecture of childhood obesity by Khanh B Trang, Matthew C Pahl, James A Pippin, Chun Su, Sheridan H Littleton, Prabhat Sharma, Nikhil N Kulkarni, Louis R Ghanem, Natalie A Terry, Joan M O'Brien, Yadav Wagley, Kurt D Hankenson, Ashley Jermusyk, Jason Hoskins, Laufey T Amundadottir, Mai Xu, Kevin Brown, Stewart Anderson, Wenli Yang, Paul Titchenell, Patrick Seale, Klaus H Kaestner, Laura Cook, Megan Levings, Babette S Zemel, Alessandra Chesi, Andrew D Wells, Struan FA Grant

“…Integrating childhood obesity GWAS summary statistics with our existing 3D genomic datasets for 57 human cell types, consisting of high-resolution promoter-focused Capture-C/Hi-C, ATAC-seq, and RNA-seq, we applied stratified LD score regression and calculated the proportion of genome-wide SNP heritability attributable to cell type-specific features, revealing pancreatic alpha cell enrichment as the most statistically significant. Subsequent chromatin contact-based fine-mapping was carried out for genome-wide significant childhood obesity loci and their linkage disequilibrium proxies to implicate effector genes, yielded the most abundant number of candidate variants and target genes at the BDNF, ADCY3, TMEM18, and FTO loci in skeletal muscle myotubes and the pancreatic beta-cell line, EndoC-BH1. …”
