Integrating lines of research on children's curiosity-driven learning.

Epistemic curiosity is considered indispensable in children's learning, but previous empirical research on children's curiosity-driven learning has been fragmented; separate research lines tend to focus on single learning outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed at integrating different research lines by adapting an existing paradigm to investigate not only the relation between children's state curiosity and their memory performance but also their desire to explore. In addition, this study examined a possible mechanism through which curiosity affects recall: increased attentional processes.

Virtual reality for multiple sclerosis rehabilitation.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common neurological disease in young adults. Virtual reality (VR) offers a promising rehabilitation tool by providing controllable, personalised environments for safe, adaptable and engaging training. Virtual reality can be tailored to patients' motor and cognitive skills, enhancing motivation through exciting scenarios and feedback.

The effectiveness of an individualised and adaptive game-based rehabilitation, iVision, on visual perception in cerebral visual impairment: A triple-blind randomised controlled trial.

Background: Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) can negatively affect a child's functioning, emphasising the need for interventions to improve visual perception (VP), potentially translating into improved health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

Aims: Assessing the effectiveness of an adaptive individualised game-based rehabilitation, iVision, on VP, visual function, functional vision, and HRQOL.

Methods And Procedures: Seventy-three children with CVI (3-12 performance age) were randomised into the adaptive individualised or the non-adaptive non-individualised group (3 sessions/week; 12 weeks).

Genome-wide meta-analysis associates donor-recipient non-HLA genetic mismatch with acute cellular rejection post-liver transplantation.

Background: Acute cellular rejection (ACR) remains a common complication causing significant morbidity post-liver transplantation. Non-human leukocyte antigen (non-HLA) mismatches were associated with an increased risk of ACR in kidney transplantation. Therefore, we hypothesized that donor-recipient non-HLA genetic mismatch is associated with increased ACR incidence post-liver transplantation.
