Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant and ongoing impact on health care, particularly for medical radiation science (MRS) professionals. There exist many studies that describe the negative effects of clinical placement restrictions and access to universities on the well-being of all health professional students during the pandemic. There also exists evidence of changes to MRS student teaching and impacts to students and academic clinical educators; however, there exists a paucity of research that investigates how changes have affected the performance of students within the clinical environment and entering the workforce.

- The PECOS study is investigating the long-term effects of pediatric SARS-CoV-2 infections by comparing infected and uninfected participants aged 0-21.
- Participants were assessed on various health metrics, including symptom reports, physical exams, and psychological surveys, revealing that those infected reported significantly worse outcomes in several health domains.
- The findings indicate that SARS-CoV-2 infection could negatively impact children's overall quality of life, highlighting the importance of ongoing research to understand these long-term effects.
Article Synopsis
- Primary and motile cilia are important organelles in eukaryotic cells that help with signaling and movement.
- Intraflagellar transport (IFT) utilizes two protein complexes, IFT-A and IFT-B, to move proteins into and out of cilia, linking them to motor proteins kinesin and dynein.
- This review explores how IFT complexes are recruited, form transport trains, and regulate cargo movement from the base to the tip of cilia, detailing the switch from kinesin-driven transport to dynein-driven export.
Sound symbolism occurs when the sound of a word alone can convey its meaning, e.g. 'balloon' and 'spike' sound rounded and pointed, respectively.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSound symbolism, the idea that the sound of a word alone can convey its meaning, is often studied using auditory pseudowords. For example, people reliably assign the auditory pseudowords "bouba" and "kiki" to rounded and pointed shapes, respectively. Previously we showed that representational dissimilarity matrices (RDMs) of the shape ratings of auditory pseudowords correlated significantly with RDMs of acoustic parameters reflecting spectro-temporal variations; the ratings also correlated significantly with voice quality features.
