Article Synopsis
- Concerns about falling in older adults, particularly those with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia, increase their risk of falls, but exercise interventions can help improve balance and reduce these concerns.
- A scoping review analyzed 2,111 articles, ultimately finding 27 relevant studies that addressed exercise interventions; however, only one study prioritized falling concerns as an outcome, with most focusing on other aspects.
- The review suggests that while falling concerns are often overlooked, multi-modal exercise programs could effectively address these issues and improve balance, strength, and overall cognitive health in individuals with MCI and dementia.
Background: As the population of individuals with HIV ages rapidly due to advancements in antiretroviral therapy, virtual care has become an increasingly vital component in managing their complex health needs. However, little is known about perceptions of virtual care among older adults living with HIV.
Objective: This study aimed to understand the perceptions of older adults living with HIV regarding virtual care.
Introduction: The cost, high resource demands, and psychological significance of in-person cadaveric labs are barriers to their use. Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) of gross anatomy is widely available as an alternative option. However, student engagement, reflections, and expectations of learning anatomy with CAI instead of in-person labs may influence their learning experience and outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Educators need to understand the factors affecting anatomy learning outcomes for occupational therapy students with varied academic experiences.
- A study comparing students with and without prior anatomy courses showed that while those with prior experience performed better initially, this difference disappeared by the end of the term.
- Overall, students struggled more with higher-order thinking assessments, but by the end, those without prior anatomy coursework achieved similar results, indicating they needed time to adjust to the subject.
In May 2022, the European Commission proposed the launch of a health-specific data sharing framework called the European Health Data Space (EHDS), underpinned by legislation, for the use of electronic health data by patients and for research, innovation, policy-making, patient safety, statistics, or regulatory purposes. In this essay, I review some of its more contentious features based on the latest version of the legislative proposal. I suggest that the EHDS is a useful case study to illustrate the need for a translational bioethics approach that shines a critical analytical light on contentious aspects of large-scale research infrastructures.
