Lecture capture affects student learning behaviour.

Lecture capture (the real-time recording of live lectures) has become commonplace in higher education. It is popular with students who like the associated flexibility and believe that lecture recordings improve their grades. Here, we performed a survey (n = 694, 53% of the cohort) and set up focus groups (2 focus groups, 15 participants) to explore biological sciences students' perceptions of how lecture capture impacts their study behaviour when recordings are provided for every lecture and are made available to students without restriction.

Addressing Barriers to Fertility Preservation for Cancer Patients: The Role of Oncofertility Patient Navigation.

Background: Infertility is a common late effect for cancer survivors. Whereas assisted reproductive technology has made it possible for survivors to take steps to preserve fertility before starting treatment, only a minority of patients proceed with preservation. Patient-, provider-, health system-, and societal-level barriers to fertility preservation (FP) exist.

Students tell us what good written feedback looks like.

Feedback can be an important element of learning, but only if students engage with it. Students are only likely to engage with feedback that they find useful. This study aimed to identify characteristics of written feedback perceived by students as effective.

Impact of a controlled culture temperature gradient on mouse embryo development and morphokinetics.

Research Question: Temperature control within the IVF laboratory is an important aspect of a quality control system, helping to reduce environmental stress and ensure good-quality embryo development. Temperature fluctuations are probably more common than expected and the optimal temperature for embryo culture is not known. Modern incubators offer the opportunity to examine the impact of culture temperature on preimplantation embryo development while controlling for other variables within the system.

Early experiences with miniaturized extracorporeal life-support in the catheterization laboratory.

Objectives: Cardiocirculatory arrest during different types of interventions in the catheterization laboratory (cath-lab) requires mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to restore spontaneous circulation. However, mechanical chest compression leads to interruption of the procedure and can severely compromise the success of the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Alternatives to mechanical chest compression are rare and mostly uncommon.
