Incorporating curriculum to effectively help veterinary students learn how to provide accessible quality care to is needed. The primary aims of this study are to explore how a 2-week rotation at a veterinary medical service-learning clinic (Wisconsin Companion Animal Resources, Education, and Social Services [WisCARES]) improves (a) comfort in working with clients from diverse race and low socioeconomic (SOCI) backgrounds and (2) confidence in leading cases, communication skills, and providing a spectrum of care options. Students were surveyed at five time points pre-rotation: mid-week 1, mid-week 2, end of rotation, and 1-month post.

- The systematic review aims to compile and assess existing research on knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to HPV and vaccine uptake, particularly among individuals aged 16 and older.
- Researchers will gather data from various databases like MEDLINE and Embase, ensuring thorough screening and quality assessment of the studies included.
- Findings from the review will inform academic dissemination through a doctoral thesis and publication in peer-reviewed journals, following ethical guidelines since it relies on previously published data.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has highlighted the need for vaccines targeting both neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) and long-lasting cross-reactive T cells covering multiple viral proteins to provide broad and durable protection against emerging variants.
Methods: To address this, here we developed two vaccine candidates, namely (i) DNA-CoV2-TMEP, expressing the multiepitopic CoV2-TMEP protein containing immunodominant and conserved T cell regions from SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins, and (ii) MVA-CoV2-B2AT, encoding a bi-cistronic multiepitopic construct that combines conserved B and T cell overlapping regions from SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins.
Results: Both candidates were assessed in vitro and in vivo demonstrating their ability to induce robust immune responses.
Background: There is concern regarding the underutilization of rehabilitation services for the malignant primary brain tumor (MPBT) population following hospitalization. Our aim is to assess physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), and speech-language pathology (SLP) use after an MPBT diagnosis, evaluate the trend from 2001 to 2018, and compare to traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke.
Methods: Adult cases of MPBT, TBI, and stroke were extracted from MarketScan database.
