Background: Preceptor training and development are crucial to quality clinical learning experiences for undergraduate health students. The efficacy of education interventions designed for preceptors and use of reliable, valid outcome measures are unclear.

International consensus definition of critical thinking in midwifery practice: A Delphi study.

Problem: Currently there is no discipline-specific definition of critical thinking in midwifery practice.

Background: Critical thinking in midwifery practice is the cornerstone for safe, evidence based, and woman centred clinical decision-making. Available definitions of critical thinking in other disciplines do not align with midwifery practice which is distinctive, multidimensional and complex.

Adrenal Myelolipoma Masquerading as an Adrenal Malignancy.

An adrenal myelolipoma presenting with suspicious features may pose a diagnostic challenge to surgeons and endocrinologists. In this case report of an adult patient with undiagnosed congenital adrenal hyperplasia presenting with bilateral adrenal masses, we review his radiographic and clinical findings which were highly suspicious for adrenal malignancy. Features of adrenal myelolipoma that may resemble malignant lesions are reviewed.

Results: Mean age of mothers was 28.

Dung beetles show metabolic plasticity as pupae and smaller adult body size in response to increased temperature mean and variance.

Though organisms may use thermal plasticity to cope with novel temperature regimes, our understanding of plastic responses is limited. Research on thermal plasticity has traditionally focused on the response of organisms to shifts in mean temperatures. However, increased temperature variation can have a greater impact on organismal performance than mean temperature alone.

School and educational support programmes for paediatric oncology patients and survivors: A systematic review of evidence and recommendations for future research and practice.

Objectives: The Psychosocial Standards of Care (PSSC) in paediatric oncology prescribe the minimum standards for education support. It is unknown, however, if published education support programmes for children with cancer meet the PSSC standards for education support. Successful implementation of standards for education support is challenging but may be achieved with guidance.

Different amplitudes of temperature fluctuation induce distinct transcriptomic and metabolomic responses in the dung beetle .

Most studies exploring molecular and physiological responses to temperature have focused on constant temperature treatments. To gain a better understanding of the impact of fluctuating temperatures, we investigated the effects of increased temperature variation on dung beetles across levels of biological organization. Specifically, we hypothesized that increased temperature variation is energetically demanding.

Life stages differ in plasticity to temperature fluctuations and uniquely contribute to adult phenotype in dung beetles.

Adaptive thermal plasticity allows organisms to adjust their physiology to cope with fluctuating environments. However, thermal plasticity is rarely studied in response to thermal variability and is often measured in a single life stage. Plasticity in response to thermal variability likely differs from responses to constant temperature or acute stress.

Phytopathogen Effectors Use Multiple Mechanisms to Manipulate Plant Autophagy.

Autophagy is a central part of immunity and hence is a key target of pathogens. However, the precise molecular mechanisms by which plant pathogens manipulate autophagy remain elusive. We identify a network of 88 interactions between 184 effectors from bacterial, fungal, oomycete, and nematode pathogens with 25 Arabidopsis autophagy (ATG) proteins.

Using naturalistic incubation temperatures to demonstrate how variation in the timing and continuity of heat wave exposure influences phenotype.

Most organisms are exposed to bouts of warm temperatures during development, yet we know little about how variation in the timing and continuity of heat exposure influences biological processes. If heat waves increase in frequency and duration as predicted, it is necessary to understand how these bouts could affect thermally sensitive species, including reptiles with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD). In a multi-year study using fluctuating temperatures, we exposed embryos to cooler, male-producing temperatures interspersed with warmer, female-producing temperatures (heat waves) that varied in either timing during development or continuity and then analysed resulting sex ratios.
