Developing and Testing a Reflection Method for Implementation of a Professional Reporting Guideline in Community Nursing: Design-Based Research.

Aim: To develop a reflection method for community nurses and certified nursing assistants to support the implementation of a professional reporting guideline for nurses and certified nursing assistants in daily care and to identify its key features.

Design: Design-based research.

Methods: This study was conducted in the Netherlands from February 2021 to April 2022.

Preparing physiotherapists for the future: the development and evaluation of an innovative curriculum.

Background: Educational innovation in health professional education is needed to keep up with rapidly changing healthcare systems and societal needs. This study evaluates the implementation of PACE, an innovative curriculum designed by the physiotherapy department of the HAN University of Applied Sciences in The Netherlands. The PACE concept features an integrated approach to learning and assessment based on pre-set learning outcomes, personalized learning goals, flexible learning routes, and programmatic assessment.

High-Resolution Free-Breathing Chemical-Shift-Encoded MRI for Characterizing Lymph Nodes in the Upper Abdomen.

Objectives: Accurate lymph node (LN) staging is crucial for managing upper abdominal cancers. Ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging effectively distinguishes healthy and metastatic LNs through fat/water and -weighted imaging. However, respiratory motion artifacts complicate detection of abdominal LNs.

Resin infiltration of trauma-induced enamel cracks - a proof-of-concept.

Objectives: The aim of this in-vitro study was to investigate the masking efficacy of adhesively sealed enamel cracks with resin infiltration compared with the use of a universal adhesive.

Methods: Enamel cracks were induced on the labial surfaces of bovine teeth using a pendulum impact tester. Specimens were treated adhesively by resin infiltration with ICON (DMG) or Scotchbond Universal Plus (3M).

Investigating skeletal muscle micro-trauma with time-dependent diffusion and the random permeable barrier model.

Repeated muscle micro-trauma may cause severe muscle damage. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) exhibits sensitivity to microstructural changes in skeletal muscle. We hypothesize that longer diffusion times enhance sensitivity to micro-trauma and that membrane permeability increases with micro-trauma.
