Overfishing and climate change elevate extinction risk of endemic sharks and rays in the southwest Indian Ocean hotspot.

Here, we summarise the extinction risk of the sharks and rays endemic to coastal, shelf, and slope waters of the southwest Indian Ocean and adjacent waters (SWIO+, Namibia to Kenya, including SWIO islands). This region is a hotspot of endemic and evolutionarily distinct sharks and rays. Nearly one-fifth (n = 13 of 70, 18.

The role of collaborative decision-making in discharge planning: Perspectives from patients, family members and health professionals.

Aim: To explore discharge planning with a range of key stakeholders in subacute care, including consumers.

Design: Qualitative descriptive study.

Methods: Patients (n = 16), families (n = 16), clinicians (n = 17) and managers (n = 12) participated in semi-structured interviews or focus groups.

Defining ready for discharge from sub-acute care: a qualitative exploration from multiple stakeholder perspectives.

Background: Planning discharges from subacute care facilities is becoming increasingly complex due to an ageing population and a high demand on services. The use of non-standardised assessments to determine a patient's readiness for discharge places a heavy reliance on a clinician's judgement which can be influenced by system pressures, past experiences and team dynamics. The current literature focusses heavily on discharge-readiness from clinicians' perspectives and in the acute care setting.

Comparative long-term effectiveness between ventral hernia repairs with biosynthetic and synthetic mesh.

Background: Debate exists regarding the most appropriate type of mesh to use in ventral hernia repair (VHR). Meshes are broadly categorized as synthetic or biologic, each mesh with individual advantages and disadvantages. More recently developed biosynthetic mesh has characteristics of both mesh types.

Predictors of undergraduate occupational therapy students' academic performance during the Covid-19 pandemic: A hierarchical regression analysis.

Background: The rapid switch to online learning in response to the Covid-19 pandemic affected occupational therapy students' education delivery. It is, therefore, important to investigate these impacts.

Aims/objectives: This study investigated the potential predictors of academic performance in undergraduate occupational therapy students after moving to online or blended learning post-Covid-19.
