Background: Extended Reality (XR) technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR) and 360°VR are growing rapidly in the scientific literature and sporting practice. These have been used for a range of skills, particularly perceptual-cognitive skills. However, to our knowledge, there is no systematic scoping review on this topic identifying the current state of play of the research area by characteristics such as study type, technology type, or sport investigated, and such a review would help guide the future direction of this area.

- The increasing prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has led to the development of a mobile health (mHealth) solution aimed at improving care and management through predictive modeling and risk stratification.
- "MyGDM" is a user-centered mHealth tool that includes a clinical dashboard for healthcare providers and a patient-facing app, offering educational resources, meal ideas, and options for culturally inclusive communication.
- Feedback from both healthcare professionals and women with GDM was overwhelmingly positive, with all participants in questionnaires indicating the app would fit into their lifestyles and assist in managing their condition.
Metal-oxide aqueous interfaces are important in areas as varied as photocatalysis and mineral reforming. Crucial to the chemistry at these interfaces is the structure of the electrical double layer formed when anions or cations compensate for the charge arising from adsorbed H or OH. This has proven extremely challenging to determine at the atomic level.

- Athletes face challenges with high training workloads and insufficient recovery, which can lead to fatigue, performance issues, and increased injury risk; motor imagery (MI) is a psychological technique that can help counteract these negative effects.
- MI has been shown to improve outcomes like reducing strength loss, enhancing training engagement in injured athletes, promoting recovery, and developing sport-specific skills throughout various athletic scenarios, including rehabilitation and return-to-sport protocols.
- To maximize the benefits of MI, practitioners should consider individual skill levels, the athlete's ability to create vivid mental images, and the perspective (internal vs. external) used during MI training.
Patients with metastatic brain melanomas (MBM) experience shorter-lasting survival than patients with extracranial metastases, and this is associated with a higher fraction of dysfunctional CD8 T cells. The goal of this study was to understand the underlying cause of T cell dysfunction in MBM. To accomplish this, we compared murine B16 melanomas implanted intracranially (IC) or subcutaneously (SC).
