The review deals with the analysis of osteodensitometry data from the cosmonauts flown on Russian space station MIR and the International space station and suppositions about involvement of different levels of metabolism regulation in bone loss triggered by insufficient mechanic loading in microgravity attendant by redistribution of body liquids. It is surmised that the initial reactions are associated with the biomechanical factor and recruitment of local mechanisms, i.e. osteocyte osteolysis and inhibition of osteoblast histogenesis. Regulation on the level of tissues and organs is responsible for destabilization of calcium homeostasis (low calcium absorption in the intestine and readsorption in the kidney). Changes in the hierarchy of ion and volume regulation may provoke osteoclast resorption which further increases osteopenia.

Facilitators' experiences with virtual simulation and their impact on learning.
Adv Simul (Lond)
December 2024
School of Community and Health Studies, Centennial College, P.O. Box 631 Station A, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Background: Increasingly, virtual simulations are being integrated into higher education. A successful experience goes far beyond simply offering learners access to a virtual simulation; it requires a facilitator who understands the learners' needs and course objectives, choses the right virtual simulation for the learner, creates a welcoming space that promotes learning, and evaluates the experience.
Methods: Facilitators from three different healthcare programs and six educational institutions and students from two different healthcare programs were included in this exploratory qualitative research study.
Unpacking conservation easements' assessed land use designations and their implications for realizing biodiversity protection.
Conserv Sci Pract

Department of Forestry and Environmental Conservation, Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina, USA.
Native ecosystem and biodiversity loss from land use conversion into human-modified landscapes are evident in the United States and globally. In addition to public land conservation, there is an increase in private land conservation through conservation easements (CEs) across exurban landscapes. Not every CE was established strictly for biodiversity protection and permitted land uses can increase human modification.

Improving Access to Hygiene, Sanitation, and Drinking Water in King County and Beyond: Success Factors and Costs.
J Public Health Manag Pract
October 2024
Author Affiliations: Public Health - Seattle and King County, Washington.
Context: Most major urban areas in the US, including Seattle and King County, have a long-standing lack of public restrooms, handwashing stations, and drinking water, presenting public health risks.
Objective: To aid decision-makers in expanding access, we review available information regarding successful hygiene programs in urban settings to identify shared characteristics and costs.
Design: We reviewed 10 journal articles, 49 news articles, and 54 pieces of gray literature including reports, white papers, and online resources describing real-world hygiene, sanitation, and drinking water programs in US and global urban settings.
Development of Spatial Memory: A Behavioral Study.
NeuroSci
December 2024
Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, School of Health Sciences, University of Ioannina, 45110 Ioannina, Greece.
Although spatial memory has been widely studied in rodents, developmental studies involving humans are limited in number and sample size. We designed and studied the validity of two simple experimental setups for the evaluation of spatial memory and navigation development. The dataset of this study was composed of 496 schoolchildren, from 4 to 15 years old.
