: Cognition plays a major role in prosthetic rehabilitation success. The ability to identify patients who may have difficulty understanding and adapting to the rehabilitation process is beneficial for clinicians and patients to allow for targeted and appropriate therapy. The research aim was to codesign a process that facilitates routine cognitive screening into the amputee inpatient journey.

The goal of this article is to articulate the communicative and methodological challenges and lessons learned from collecting data with older adults in senior living communities with mild cognitive impairment and ADRD and their adult children (who were geographically separated) during the pandemic. Communication was much more than what we were studying; it was essential to the success and ethical implementation of our research.

- The paper aims to explore the challenges rural nurses face during resuscitations, highlighting how this contributes to their professional isolation, and to propose strategies to alleviate these issues.
- It emphasizes that professional isolation is prevalent in low-resourced rural healthcare settings, particularly where small emergency departments are located far from major hospitals, and notes a lack of research on effective interventions.
- The findings suggest that professional isolation hinders skill development and career intent among rural nurses, and recommends solutions like leadership training, mentorship, and debriefing sessions to help improve their professional experiences and connections.
Human language relies on a rich cognitive machinery, partially shared with other animals. One key mechanism, however, decomposing events into causally linked agent-patient roles, has remained elusive with no known animal equivalent. In humans, agent-patient relations in event cognition drive how languages are processed neurally and expressions structured syntactically.

Methods: Two iterative rounds of testing were carried out based on cognitive task analysis and qualitative interview methods. The System Usability Scale (SUS) was also used to evaluate the app.
