This paper describes the integration of environmental physiotherapy education into the physiotherapy curriculum in a New Zealand university in response to the environmental physiotherapy agenda and the University of Otago Sustainability Framework. We describe and discuss three learning activities, the associated challenges and lessons learnt, and the current position. Given the encompassing nature of environmental and health interactions, we aimed for multilayer immersive experiences using a range of pedagogical approaches.

A key example is the formation of lymphatic ECs (LECs), which are thought to arise largely through transdifferentiation from venous endothelium. Opposing this model, here we show that the initial expansion of mammalian LECs is primarily driven by the in situ differentiation of mesenchymal progenitors and does not require transition through an intermediate venous state.

- * Out of 112 respondents, which included both surgeons and hand therapists, the study found significant variability in surgical decision-making and imaging practices, with most centers favoring ligament reconstruction using a bone anchor.
- * Findings suggest that there is inconsistency in the treatment approaches for UCL ruptures and a strong interest among medical professionals for future clinical trials to standardize management practices.
