Background: While patient and public involvement (PPI) in clinical research contributes substantially to research ethics, feasibility and quality, the uptake and implementation of PPI-based approaches in Switzerland remain unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the current state and acceptance of PPI in academic clinical research in Switzerland, with the goal of developing recommendations for its future implementation and development.
Methods: A sequential explanatory mixed-methods study was conducted to assess the current landscape and acceptance of PPI in academic clinical research across different stakeholder groups in Switzerland.

Background: At high magnetic fields, degraded image quality due to dielectric artifacts and elevated specific absorption rate (SAR) are two technical challenges in fetal MRI.
Purpose: To assess the potential of high dielectric constant (HDC) pad in increasing image quality and decreasing SAR for 3 T fetal MRI.
Study Type: Prospective.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked muscle disease with weakness, loss of ambulation, and premature death. DMD patients have reduced bone health, including decreased femur length (FL), density, and fractures. The mouse model has paradoxically greater FL, density, and strength, positively correlating with muscle mass.

When nematic liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) crosslinked at their isotropic phase are quenched to the nematic phase, they show polydomain patterns, in which nematic microdomains with different orientations self-organize into a three-dimensional mosaic with characteristic correlation patterns. The orientational correlation length of the domain, which is usually in the micrometer range, is believed to emerge as a result of a competition between liquid crystalline ordering and frozen network inhomogeneity. Although polydomain patterns show potentials as the basic platform for optical, memory, and mechanical devices, no study exists regarding how they are modulated by experimentally accessible parameters.

Background: Interpersonal sensitivity and self-efficacy are key psychological traits that critically impact the mental well-being and professional growth of nursing students. However, the complex interplay between interpersonal sensitivity and self-efficacy of nursing students has not been fully explored.
Purpose: This study aimed to explore the complex relationship between interpersonal sensitivity and self-efficacy in nursing students using network analysis, identifying key symptoms within this network.
