Article Synopsis
- Executive functions (EFs) are interconnected skills that impact academic success, yet they are frequently studied in isolation, making it hard to see how they work together.
- A study involving over 1200 students aged 7-15 utilized nine EF assessments to create cognitive profiles and analyzed their correlation with academic performance in reading and math.
- The findings highlighted that while students exhibited different EF profiles, these variations did not demonstrate a straightforward link between specific EFs and academic achievement, suggesting diverse cognitive pathways can lead to success.
The CSANZ/RANZCR Position Statement on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMRI) is intended to support and foster the provision of quality, safe CMRI services in Australia and New Zealand. This document specifically pertains to CMRI in adults, as distinct from general vascular MRI or paediatric imaging, and provides certification and recertification requirements.

- The study aimed to evaluate the recovery of cardiac diagnostic procedure volumes in Oceania during the COVID-19 pandemic by comparing data from March 2019, April 2020, and April 2021 across various health facilities.
- Results showed that 11,902 procedures were performed in April 2021, slightly below pre-pandemic levels, while the rest of the world had similar recovery rates, indicating a small decline in both regions.
- Although there were no significant differences in overall recovery rates, anatomical coronary testing in Oceania demonstrated poorer recovery compared to the rest of the world, raising concerns about specific diagnostic procedures.
Many species are shifting their ranges in response to climate-driven environmental changes, particularly in high-latitude regions. However, the patterns of dispersal and colonization during range shifting events are not always clear. Understanding how populations are connected through space and time can reveal how species navigate a changing environment.
