Exploring the development of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for health professions educators through faculty development.

Research on how pedagogical content knowledge (PCK)-informed faculty development initiatives can support PCK development among health professions educators is limited. Given the positive impact of PCK on enhancing professional knowledge for effective teaching, this study investigates the learning process of health professions educators in developing their PCK through a faculty development initiative, supported by the Content Representation (CoRe) tool. Using a qualitative approach, grounded in social constructionism, the study engaged eight educators from diverse health disciplines at an Australian university.

The Influence of Non-Dipping Pattern of Blood Pressure in Gestational Hypertension on Early Onset of Hypertension Later in Life-Single Center Experience in Very-High-Risk Southeast and Central European Country.

Gestational hypertension (GH) and preeclampsia (PE) are associated with the onset of hypertension. This study aimed to investigate whether the blood pressure (BP) pattern in GH is associated with the prevalence of hypertension later in life. In this prospective cohort study pregnant women screened for GH underwent medical history, laboratory analysis, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (AMBP), and transthoracic echocardiography (with left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS)) assessment.

Relationship Between Serum Uromodulin as a Marker of Kidney Damage and Metabolic Status in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease of Non-Diabetic Etiology.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is often associated with dyslipidemia, marked by lipid abnormalities that can worsen kidney function and increase cardiovascular risk. A promising biomarker for evaluating kidney function and metabolic status in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is serum uromodulin (sUmod). This study sought to further investigate the relationship between sUmod levels and metabolic status in non-diabetic CKD patients.
