Background: Virtual follow-up (VFU) has the potential to enhance cancer survivorship care. However, a greater understanding is needed of how VFU can be optimized.
Objective: This study aims to examine how, for whom, and in what contexts VFU works for cancer survivorship care.

Purpose: Cultures of wellness, defined as shared norms, values, attitudes, and behaviors that promote personal and professional growth and well-being, are robust determinants of professional fulfillment and professional performance. A major and largely overlooked aspect of a culture of wellness in medicine is residents' perceived appreciation or experience of feeling valued. Considering the pressing workforce and retention challenges that residency programs face, this study addressed the following research questions: How does appreciation at work manifest in the eyes of residents and how do residents perceive appreciation in relation to their professional fulfillment and performance?
Method: Guided by an interpretative phenomenological approach, this qualitative study purposively sampled 12 residents from different specialties, training years, regions in the Netherlands, and genders.

This study assessed the feasibility of miR17 ~ 92-based antiresorptive strategy by determining the effects of conditional transgenic (cTG) overexpression of miR17 ~ 92 in myeloid cells on bone and osteoclasts. Osteoclasts of male and female cTG mutant mice each showed 3- to fivefold overexpression of miR17 ~ 92 cluster genes compared to those of age- and sex-matched wildtype (WT) littermates. Male but not female cTG mutant mice had more trabecular and cortical bones as well as lower bone resorption reflected by reduction in osteoclast number and resorbing surface.

In many western countries informal care is conceived as the answer to the increasing care demand. Little is known how formal and informal caregivers collaborate in the context of an diverse ageing population. The aim of this study was to gain insight in how professionals' perspectives regarding the collaboration with informal carers with a migration background are framed and shaped by intersecting aspects of diversity.

Background: Neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), consisting of hyperphosphorylated tau aggregates, are one of the major pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The burden of NFTs correlates with cognitive decline, and in vivo detection of NFT may help predict the clinical progression of AD. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of brain regions affected by NFTs holds the potential to unveil the molecular mechanisms underlying tau pathogenesis and uncover novel diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
