Bone dynamics in zebrafish on low- and high-frequency diets.

Article Synopsis
- Zebrafish were studied over 40 days to see how different diets (high vs. low frequency) affect bone health.
- Fish fed more frequently (3×/day) were larger in weight and length compared to those fed less often (2×/week).
- The frequent-feeding group had greater vertebral bone density but lower overall bone volume, while low-feeding fish had more signs of bone resorption in their scales.
- The researchers suggest that lower calorie intake might lead to higher leptin levels, which negatively impacts bone health in zebrafish.
The widely used SPICES framework focused on curriculum development. The Assessment PROFILE serves a similar purpose for current trends in assessment. A school has to decide where it wishes to lie on each of the continua: a programme-focused approach with decisions based on evidence collected from a number of sources; authentic assessment based on assessment in the 'real world'; outcome-/competency-based assessment; assessment learning; assessment with an impact; learner engagement; and quality assurance and evaluation of the assessment.

The Interprofessional Standardized Patient Experience (ISPE) is an interprofessional education activity for prelicensure health professional students in nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy, medicine, social work, and occupational therapy.
Methods: The ISPE involved collaboration among students to conduct a subjective interview.
