Background: Educational innovation in health professional education is needed to keep up with rapidly changing healthcare systems and societal needs. This study evaluates the implementation of PACE, an innovative curriculum designed by the physiotherapy department of the HAN University of Applied Sciences in The Netherlands. The PACE concept features an integrated approach to learning and assessment based on pre-set learning outcomes, personalized learning goals, flexible learning routes, and programmatic assessment.

Despite concerted efforts to rapidly identify patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI-CS) and provide timely revascularization, early mortality remains stubbornly high. While artificially augmenting systemic flow through the use of temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) devices would be expected to reduce the rate of progression to multi-organ dysfunction and thereby enhance survival, reliable evidence for benefit has remained elusive with lingering questions regarding the appropriate selection of both patients and devices, as well as the timing of device implantation relative to other critical interventions. Further complicating matters are the resource-intensive multidisciplinary systems of care that must be brought to bear in this complex patient population.

Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) sourced from an aerobic granular sludge (AGS) process were rapidly enriched by progressively increasing ammonia nitrogen (NH-N) loads, achieving a Nitrosomonas abundance of 20.7 % and a nitrite accumulation rate exceeding 80 %. Mycelial pellets formed by Cladosporium, isolated from the same AGS system, provided a porous surface structure for the immobilization of the enriched AOB, creating mycelial pellet/AOB composites.

Most transition metal-based electrocatalysts, when used for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), undergo significant restructuring under alkaline conditions, forming localized oxides/hydroxides (MOOH), which act as the real active centers, activating adjacent metal sites and creating new active sites that enhance electrocatalytic behavior. Nevertheless, inducing rapid and in-depth self-reconstruction of catalyst surfaces remains a huge challenge. Herein, this work achieves rapid and in-depth self-reconstruction by doping fluorine into the lattice of transition metal oxides (MO).

Subcutaneous emphysema is a well-known complication of chest tube insertion that can become life-threatening. Severe cases often progress rapidly, necessitating prompt intervention to prevent complications such as airway obstruction and respiratory failure. We report the case of a 57-year-old man who developed extensive subcutaneous emphysema following chest tube insertion.
