Context is Key: an interactive experiential and content frame game.

Published: September 2004

Most games used for teaching focus on either content transfer or an experiential learning experience. 'Context is Key' is a combination of both as the learners actively interact experientially with the content being taught, with fellow learners and with the facilitator(s). Using this interactive game after a didactic portion of teaching can reinforce the knowledge in ways that require synthesis of the knowledge for application and encourage group discussion and the sharing of knowledge that participants possess. This game was originally created to highlight the complexities of the differential diagnosis of bipolar disorder in adolescents. By playing the game, students can understand why psychiatric symptoms on their own are not as valuable as placing them within the context of symptom clusters, how it takes time to make an accurate diagnosis for complex presentations of symptoms, how to sort symptoms that have similar presentations and why 'Context is Key!'

Background: Among cardiovascular diseases, adult patients with congenital heart disease represent a population that has been continuously increasing, which is mainly due to improvement of the pathophysiological framing, including the development of surgical and reanimation techniques. However, approximately 20% of these patients will require surgery in adulthood and 40% of these cases will necessitate reintervention for residual defects or sequelae of childhood surgery. In this field, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in the postsurgical phase has an important impact on the patient by improving psychophysical and clinical recovery in reducing fatigue and dyspnea to ultimately increase survival.

Hybrid strains of enterotoxigenic/Shiga toxin-producing , United Kingdom, 2014-2023.

J Med Microbiol

NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Gastrointestinal Infections, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK.

Diarrhoeagenic (DEC) pathotypes are defined by genes located on mobile genetic elements, and more than one definitive pathogenicity gene may be present in the same strain. In August 2022, UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) surveillance systems detected an outbreak of hybrid Shiga toxin-producing /enterotoxigenic (STEC-ETEC) serotype O101:H33 harbouring both Shiga toxin () and heat-stable toxin (). These hybrid strains of DEC are a public health concern, as they are often associated with enhanced pathogenicity.

Social Networks, Health Support, and Dietary Intake in Mothers Receiving Home Visiting Services.

J Racial Ethn Health Disparities

Center for Economic and Social Research, Arts and Sciences, Dornsife College of Letters, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA.

Home visiting programs (HVPs) provide services to pregnant individuals and parents of young children to improve families' health and well-being. However, little is known about these families' social contexts. This study explores the social networks and dietary intake of mothers enrolled in a HVP, focusing on health support and health undermining.

BCL6 coordinates muscle mass homeostasis with nutritional states.

Gene Expression Laboratory, Salk Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037-1002.

Nutritional status is a determining factor for growth during development and homeostatic maintenance in adulthood. In the context of muscle, growth hormone (GH) coordinates growth with nutritional status; however, the detailed mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. Here, we show that the transcriptional repressor B cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) maintains muscle mass by sustaining GH action.

Dual-Locked Enzyme-Activatable Fluorescence Probes for Precise Bioimaging.

State Key Laboratory of Digital Medical Engineering, School of Biological Science and Medical Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189, China.

Real-time visualization of endogenous enzymes not only helps reveal the underlying biological principles but also provides pathological information for cancer/disease diagnosis and even treatment guidance. To this end, enzyme-activatable fluorescence probes are frequently fabricated that turn their fluorescence signals "on" exclusively at the enzyme-rich region, thus enabling noninvasive and real-time imaging of enzymes of interest at the molecular level with superior sensitivity and selectivity. However, in a complex biological context, commonly used single enzyme-activatable (i.
