Article Synopsis
- Cognitive impairment (CI) is a common challenge for cancer survivors, and this study investigates the use of digital Goal Management Training (GMT) compared to computerized cognitive training (CCT) to address this issue in cervical cancer survivors (CCS).
- The study involved 35 CCS, who were randomly assigned to either digital GMT or CCT, with both groups showing a high completion rate of 88% and reporting strong satisfaction with the interventions.
- Results indicated that both training methods led to improvements in attention, memory, and self-reported cognitive functioning, suggesting that digital GMT is a feasible option for enhancing cognitive health in cancer survivors while being low-cost and easy to implement.
Importance: Despite the major implications of executive deficits in day-to-day functioning, few studies have investigated this in post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection using standardized measures that differentiate between aspects of executive function.
Objective: Examine whether SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with deficits in executive functions and if so, investigate the duration of this association.
Design Setting And Participants: The present research has a cross-sectional design and uses data from the Norwegian Covid-19 Cohort study.
Objective: To evaluate impact of a 12-week, online, guided, self-paced intervention of mindfulness and self-care practices on self-compassion, attentiveness, and perceived stress.
Participants: University healthcare faculty and students.
Methods: Participants received 7 different mindful and self-care activity options every week for 12 wk.
Implementing biosecurity protocols is necessary to reduce the spread of disease on dairy farms. In Ontario biosecurity implementation is variable among farms, and the barriers to implementing biosecurity are unknown. Thirty-five semistructured interviews were conducted between July 2022 and January 2023 with dairy producers (n = 17) and veterinarians (n = 18).

- The review focuses on biosecurity practices in the Canadian dairy industry, highlighting their importance for farm safety and animal health.
- Implementation varies between farms and countries, with Canadian producers facing unique challenges and perceptions due to the country's supply management system.
- There’s a gap in views between producers and veterinarians regarding biosecurity, needing targeted education, research, and communication strategies to improve implementation.
