Check manuscript references

I am editing a draft of a research manuscript. Are all the references correct? Any duplicates? Does the draft include obvious errors or things that seem strange?

Identify pigments from a stain

What kind of pigment is this in the liver? At first glance, I thought it could be bile, but it’s not in the canalicular spaces. It appears to be within hepatocytes, but the distribution also doesn’t seem classic for lipofuscin.

Prepare tissue analysis

I’m a researcher specializing in gastrointestinal diseases. I’m preparing to make a tissue microarray (TMA) of resected post-neoadjuvant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs). TRG3 (tumor regression grade) cases will have the most tumor volume, but it would also be good to include TRG2 and possibly some TRG1 cases as well. Assuming I can fit 12 tumor cores per TMA, want two cores per case and want to have around 100 unique cases, how many TMAs are needed? What distribution of TRG cases do you recommend if I want to guarantee that at least 80 cases have viable tumor left on a core after TMA sectioning?

Update a policy based on today’s standards

Can you give me a primer regarding creating/revising a policy for a hospital ethics committee by today’s standards? Please refer to current best practices in the U.S. for a nonprofit community hospital. Focus on who should sit on the committee, what should trigger calling the ethics committee (routinely or emergently), the timeline for a decision, and follow-up actions of the committee.

I’m aware of some papers in the thoracic literature. Are there any references on this topic in the GI literature?

Make connections across scientific literature

You are a domain-expert researcher. I’m attaching several academic papers — each presenting distinct theories, datasets, or methodologies. Please: • Summarize each paper’s key findings in one or two sentences. • Identify and explain at least three non-obvious connections or thematic overlaps across the papers. • Propose at least three novel hypotheses or research ideas that emerge only when these works are considered together. For each proposed idea, outline: • a concise title • why it follows logically from the combined literature • one possible experimental or computational approach to test it Present your answer in a structured report with clearly labeled sections (Summary, Connections, New Ideas, Next Steps)

Evaluate published evidence linking two conditions

Summarize the literature on joint laxity and interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome, including relevant sources. Are there any published papers describing a relationship between these two conditions?

Identify treatments to repurpose

What diseases could intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) possibly treat that it’s not already used for?

Analyze a large dataset

Generate personalized pictures for test stimuli

Create an image for a cognitive assessment that is culturally appropriate and clear for people to describe based on the following guidance: A clean, horizontal digital artwork of an indoor community space in soft, semi-stylized illustration style (not realistic). The scene includes exactly 12 unique content units: 4 people, each performing a completely different activity (e.g., reading, painting, stretching, watering a plant) and 8 distinct inanimate objects (e.g., potted plant, wall art, rug, bookshelf, window, chair, table with supplies, floor lamp). Each person and object must be fully visible and clearly different — no repetitions in action, object, or appearance. Distribute the content evenly across the image with exactly 3 content points in each quadrant (upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right). Use soft colors, clear separation between elements, and a warm, family-friendly tone. The image should be free of text and easy to interpret visually, especially on a mobile screen.

Brainstorm research projects for your trainees

I am an academic pathologist with a research focus in GI pathology. Help me brainstorm some new research project ideas suitable for trainees of different levels, such as a new PGY1 resident, a senior resident, and a fellow. Note that more junior trainees probably need smaller, less complex projects but have the longest time to work on a project. Fellows are the most experienced but have less than a year, so would need a more self-contained project.
