In the last thirty years research on relative age effects (RAEs) has exploded in numbers. However, the stability and variability of these effects have hardly been investigated. The three aims of this retrospective study were first to investigate the stability and variability of RAEs over 17 years, second to compare these effects for young female and male athletes, and third to compare these effects between selected and non-selected athletes relative to variability estimates from 17 years prior to assess possible changes in athlete development trends.

The HIV epidemic in Indonesia is one of the fastest growing in Southeast Asia and is characterised by a number of geographic and sociocultural challenges. Can large language models (LLMs) be integrated with telehealth (TH) to address cost and quality of care? A literature review was performed using the PRISMA-ScR (2018) guidelines between Jan 2017 and June 2024 using the PubMed, ArXiv and semantic scholar databases. Of the 694 records identified, 12 studies met the inclusion criteria.

Introduction: The complexity of healthcare is dynamic and requires educators to evaluate how to prepare pediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs). The research team sought to evaluate procedures currently being performed by primary and acute care PNPs in clinical practice and determine how this aligns with the educational preparation recommended for certification.

Method: A cross-sectional survey of primary and acute care PNPs were evaluated through an online survey.

Background/objectives: Core strength diagnostics often focus on measuring core endurance rather than maximal core strength or core power. This study investigates whether core strength can be considered as a general ability that can be measured by a single core strength test or whether it needs to be differentiated into several components.

Methods: Forty-two adult sports students ( = 20; = 22; age: 24.

Article Synopsis
  • - CRISPR-engineered CAR T cells show promise in cancer treatments but have been linked to chromosomal issues due to the CRISPR process.
  • - The study reveals that increased T cell activation and faster proliferation lead to larger DNA deletions, while non-activated T cells have a lower risk but are less effective for gene editing.
  • - A small molecule called pifithrin-α can reduce chromosomal damage while preserving the functionality of CRISPR-engineered T cells, making it a viable strategy for improving genomic safety.
