Injured or atrophied adult skeletal muscles are regenerated through terminal differentiation of satellite cells to form multinucleated muscle fibers. Transplantation of satellite cells or cultured myoblasts has been used to improve skeletal muscle regeneration. Some of the limitations observed result from the limited number of available satellite cells that can be harvested and the efficiency of fusion of cultured myoblasts with mature muscle fibers (i.

Objective: To explore changes to rural nursing and allied health placements during the latter stage of the COVID-19 public health emergency.
Setting: Regional, rural and remote Australia.
Participants: Nursing and allied health students with a scheduled University Department of Rural Health (UDRH) facilitated rural placement between 1 January 2022 and 31 October 2022.
Objective: This article focuses on supports and challenges to health equity that small local health departments (LHDs) experienced while working toward national reaccreditation or Pathways Recognition with the Public Health Accreditation Board's Standards & Measures Version 2022 (PHAB S&M v2022).
Design: The study team conducted 22 qualitative interview sessions with members of health department leadership teams.
Setting: In the spring of 2024, participants from 4 small LHDs in the western and midwestern regions of the United States participated in individual remote interview sessions.
