Current Practice and Emerging Molecular Imaging Technologies in Oral Cancer Screening by Arianna Strome BS, Susanne Kossatz PhD, Daniella Karassawa Zanoni MD, Milind Rajadhyaksha PhD, Snehal Patel MD, Thomas Reiner PhD

“…However, not all lesions present suspicious under visual white light examination, and there is limited specificity in differentiating between benign and malignant transformations. Several vital dyes, light-based detection systems, and cytology evaluation methods have been formulated to aid in the visualization process, but their lack of specific biomarkers resulted in high false-positive rates and thus limits their reliability as screening and guidance tools. …”

‘Just because something works doesn’t mean it can’t be improved’: an ethnographic analysis of the health system in Black Panther’s Wakanda by Jennifer Jackson, Carla Ferreira, Samantha Perry, Carla Ginn, Melissa Scott, Elke Jaibeeh Barah, Zahra Upal, Krista Phelps, Carol Mei, Haneul Woo, Megan Tung, Farida Gadimova, Alexandra Ewanyshyn, Twyla Ens

“…Our ethnographic analysis of Wakanda’s healthcare system in Black Panther, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, offers opportunities for system-level transformation across healthcare settings. We propose four healthcare system themes within the context of Wakandan identity: (1) technology as an instrument (blending bodies and technology, blending technology with tradition); (2) reimagining medication; (3) warfare and rehabilitation; and (4) preventative approaches to health (prioritising collective health, deprofessionalisation of healthcare services). …”
