What factors regarding partnership/collaboration on a statement of AT (assistive technology) need result in students obtaining AT that they use and are satisfied in using? This is one of the questions posited in a study, which investigated both quantitatively and qualitatively the impact of assistive technology on quality of life, self-esteem and satisfaction of AT use of students with disabilities. A mixed methods approach was used to gather data from 45 students with disabilities in their final year of second level education. Following data analysis clear groupings emerged signifying key characteristics which defined novice to power users of AT in education.

Department of Family Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, USA.
Modern tennis forehand grip style and ball contact points have evolved to enhance power and topspin. Different grip styles and ball contacts are recommended; however, little data are available to support one over another. Through a quantitative experimental study, we sought to determine which grip style and ball contact point produced the greatest forces at static contact.

Objective: This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) method to augment video laryngoscopy (VL) by automating the detection of the glottic opening in neonates, as a step toward future studies on improving intubation outcomes.
Study Design: A deep learning model, YOLOv8, was trained on 1623 video frames from 84 neonatal intubations to detect the glottic opening and evaluated using 14-fold cross-validation on metrics like precision and recall. Additionally, it was compared with 25 medical providers of varied intubation experience to assess its relative performance.
Competency in trauma-informed care: Empowering advanced practice registered nursing students to adopt a trauma-informed approach during routine health assessment.

College of Nursing, The Ohio State University, 1585 Neil Ave., Columbus, OH 43210, United States of America. Electronic address:
Background: Nurses need competency in trauma-informed care (TIC) to create supportive environments that encourage patient engagement and treatment adherence. Increased demand for TIC in nursing practice requires improved approaches to competency evaluation.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the competency of advanced practice registered nursing (APRN) students in implementing TIC principles, utilizing a rubric tailored for simulation-based learning within an advanced health assessment course.
Free-Weight Resistance Training Enhances Core Muscle Strength but Does Not Translate to Improved Athletic Performance in Adolescent Canoe/Kayak Athletes.
Children (Basel)
September 2024
Department of Physical Education, National Taichung University of Education, Taichung City 40306, Taiwan.
Background/objectives: While previous evidence has shown that using free weights for resistance training is a more practical approach to enhancing strength, there is a relatively low prevalence of free-weight resistance training among adolescent kayak/canoe athletes. Therefore, this study aims to assess the impact of free-weight resistance training on body composition and various performance factors among adolescent canoe/kayak athletes.
Methods: Twenty-seven young sprint kayakers and canoeists (14 ± 1 years; 164 ± 7 cm; 56 ± 8 kg) completed this study.
