Article Synopsis
- There is a pressing need to enhance access and inclusion in health professions education, particularly in Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs, which this study aims to investigate through student perspectives.
- The lack of established best practices for promoting student belonging highlights the importance of including student voices to inform DPT program improvements and compliance with new accreditation standards.
- The study found six key themes affecting belonging among students, including staff relationships, program policies, peer dynamics, diverse identities, communication, and available resources, providing valuable insights for enhancing the educational experience.

Article Synopsis
- Known genetic risk factors account for about one-third of familial endometrial cancer cases, but the link between rare germline copy number variants (CNVs) and cancer risk is not well understood.
- A study analyzed DNA from over 4,000 endometrial cancer patients and nearly 18,000 controls, finding that the cancer group had a significantly higher number of CNVs.
- The research identified 141 gene loci potentially related to endometrial cancer risk, highlighting a specific area (16p11.2) with recurrent deletions that could help further investigations into genetic susceptibility.
Several scientific themes are reviewed in the context of the 75-year period relevant to this special platinum issue of Radiation Research. Two criteria have been considered in selecting the scientific themes. One is the exposure of the associated research activity in the annual meetings of the Radiation Research Society (RRS) and in the publications of the Society's Journal, thus reflecting the interest of members of RRS.
