This is a qualitative study, using the 'Do it yourself' method, which aimed to analyze how Problem-Based Learning (PBL) promotes the development of learner's autonomy in the process of learning to learn. The subjects were 16 students and two tutors involved in the discipline. Data collection techniques combined semi-structured interviews, participant observation, log in portfolios, evaluation forms, and audio recording of the tutorials. Data analysis followed interpretation strategies defined by the authors: initial and in depth readings; construction and assembly of meanings' maps; development, description and analysis of empirical categories, in the light of the theoretical framework. The PBL favors the (re)construction of knowledge by the use of prior knowledge and experiences that are shared in small group; through the process of theorization; and by means of relevant knowledge - one that can be applied to practice. We conclude that PBL encourages continuous learning, developing in the student the autonomy in the process of learning to learn.

A generic and versatile CT Image Reconstruction (CTIR) scheme can efficiently mitigate imaging noise resulting from inherent physical limitations, substantially bolstering the dependability of CT imaging diagnostics across a wider spectrum of patient cases. Current CTIR techniques often concentrate on distinct areas such as Low-Dose CT denoising (LDCTD), Sparse-View CT reconstruction (SVCTR), and Metal Artifact Reduction (MAR). Nevertheless, due to the intricate nature of multi-scenario CTIR, these techniques frequently narrow their focus to specific tasks, resulting in limited generalization capabilities for diverse scenarios.

Background: Although many transmasculine individuals undergo 1 or more gynecological surgeries (ie, hysterectomy, oophorectomy, tubectomy, or colpectomy), little has been published about motivation, subjective experiences, and the effect on dysphoria and quality of life.
Aim: The aim of this study was to acquire an in-depth understanding of patients' motivations and experienced outcomes of gynecological gender surgery.
Methods: In this qualitative study, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted.
Survey of Urogynecology Fellows on the Care of Patients with Differences in Sex Development/Intersex Traits.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Patients with differences in sex development or intersex traits (DSD/I) struggle to find clinically competent care in adulthood. We sought to describe the surgical exposure of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS) fellows who had previously trained in ObGyn (URPS-Gyn) to patients with DSD/I and their interest in performing 18 relevant procedures. We hypothesized that most graduating fellows would not have had exposure to many of the surgeries.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide, yet there are currently no reliable biomarkers for its diagnosis. Alpha-synuclein aggregation is a well-known hallmark of PD pathology, but the behavior and kinetics of these aggregates are poorly understood. To address this gap in knowledge, this study utilized several approaches to evaluate the potential of alpha-synuclein aggregates as potential biomarker for PD.

Background And Purpose: In contemporary medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA), non-lateral patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) is not considered a contraindication. However, we still lack knowledge on the association of PFOA severity on patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) after mUKA. We aimed to examine the association between PFOA severity and PROM-score changes after mUKA.
