We report the referral of an HIV-infected surgeon and a subsequent first-ever recommended look-back investigation in Hong Kong. Efficient coordination and effective implementation of the look-back investigation yielded a high response rate of 92.3% of priority patients, with none tested HIV positive. Our experience reconfirmed the very small risk of provider-to-patient HIV transmission and the crucial importance of infection control.

In this brief contribution-happily afforded by the 20th anniversary of Physics of Life Reviews-we take the opportunity to reflect on our earlier published paper, which had introduced a theoretical framework, the VIMAP (Vienna Integrated Model of (Top-Down and Bottom-up processes in) Art Perception; (Pelowski et al., [1])) that has come to represent a major basis for organizing, anticipating, and empirically investigating the nuanced, multivariate visual art experience. We look back at the original model and its hypotheses, especially as these regard distinct "outcomes," which we had argued may provide a superstructure of supraordinate, shared varieties of art experience detected across individual meetings of viewer, context, and artworks.

Article Synopsis
- Women currently lack a comprehensive tool to report their toileting decisions and bladder symptoms, which are influenced by real-world factors that may affect bladder health.
- The PLUS research consortium developed and tested WhereIGo, a mobile app aimed at capturing various environmental and social influences on women's toileting choices, including unique features for reporting urge sensations.
- The app underwent usability testing with community women to measure its effectiveness, employing a user-friendly design and gathering real-time data while adhering to a limit on screen taps.
