Article Synopsis
  • The study explored how virtual reality (VR) can enhance mental health, sleep quality, and physical activity in breast cancer patients.
  • It involved 33 participants split into experimental and control groups, with assessments conducted using several psychological and physical activity scales before and after eight VR sessions.
  • Results showed that the experimental group had significant improvements in coping strategies, sleep quality, depression and anxiety levels, and overall physical activity compared to the control group.

This study aimed to assess the level of physical activity (PA) and quality of life of cancer-treated children, depending on their place of residence (Poland vs. the Czech Republic, where incidence and mortality rates of childhood malignancies are similar). A total of 68 school-age children (7-18 years) undergoing oncological treatment were included in this study.

Energy-efficient control of magnetization without the help of a magnetic field is a key goal of spintronics. Purely heat-induced single-pulse all-optical toggle switching has been demonstrated, but so far only in Gd-based amorphous ferrimagnet films. In this work, we demonstrate toggle switching in films of the half-metallic ferrimagnetic Heusler alloys MnRuGa, which have two crystallographically-inequivalent Mn sublattices.
