Evaluating the effectiveness and acceptability of two positive body image media micro-interventions among children aged 4-6 years old - a study protocol.

Background: Children's online media perpetuates appearance idealised images and can negatively impact the way children feel about their own and other people's bodies (e.g., weight bias) at a young age.

Supporting individuals with a visible difference: A UK survey of needs and preferences.

Individuals with visible differences, resulting from injuries, health conditions, or treatment, can face varied and lasting psychosocial effects. Existing psychosocial interventions are limited, with inconsistent support noted by specialists. Improved provision and accessibility are crucial; yet, the self-perceived needs remain underreported.

Exploring the development of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for health professions educators through faculty development.

Research on how pedagogical content knowledge (PCK)-informed faculty development initiatives can support PCK development among health professions educators is limited. Given the positive impact of PCK on enhancing professional knowledge for effective teaching, this study investigates the learning process of health professions educators in developing their PCK through a faculty development initiative, supported by the Content Representation (CoRe) tool. Using a qualitative approach, grounded in social constructionism, the study engaged eight educators from diverse health disciplines at an Australian university.

Mechanism of C-3 Acyl Neighboring Group Participation in Mannuronic Acid Glycosyl Donors.

One of the main challenges in oligosaccharide synthesis is the stereoselective introduction of the glycosidic bond. In order to understand and control glycosylation reactions, thorough mechanistic studies are required. Reaction intermediates found by NMR spectroscopy often cannot explain the glycosylation's stereochemical outcome.

A nested case-control study of adverse outcomes in children with diabetic ketoacidosis.

Background: Adverse Outcomes (death or ICU stays longer than 48h) in children with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar syndrome (HHS) can be predicted by a composite risk score based on severity of hyperglycemia and acidosis, and presence of type 2 diabetes. Because most high-risk patients nevertheless do not experience an Adverse Outcome, we tried to identify differences in management or other clinical characteristics that influenced outcomes.

Methods: In a previously defined group of 4565 admissions for DKA-HHS in 2010-2023, 109 had Adverse Outcomes.
