In this article the authors illustrate the mentoring process through the framework of Vygotsky's sociocultural perspective regarding education and human development. To achieve this goal, they describe their experience as mentor and mentees in a research training mentoring program for undergraduate students. The authors argue that this theoretical and philosophical perspective offers a solid background to mentoring as a real option that contributes to the learning process. They recommend these programs to be encouraged by academic institutions in order for more students and professors to benefit from this process.

Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by surgical resection is the current standard of care for oesophageal cancer (EC) patients. This treatment is associated with a variety of complications, with pneumonia being the most common. We hypothesize that proton radiotherapy (PRT) can significantly reduce the incidence of pneumonia compared to photon radiotherapy (PhRT).

Introduction: Periprosthetic knee infections are serious complications after knee arthroplasty, affecting 1 to 2% of patients with primary surgery and up to 20% of revisions. The DAIR strategy (debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention) has emerged as a treatment for acute infections, allowing component retention in certain cases, with a high success rate.
Objectives: This review discusses its application, success factors, techniques such as the «double DAIR» and postoperative management, highlighting the importance of correct patient selection and the combination of a thorough and meticulous surgical technique with appropriate antibiotic therapy to optimize results.
Actionability of Synthetic Data in a Heterogeneous and Rare Health Care Demographic: Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer.

December 2024
Department of Medical Oncology, Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Purpose: Research on rare diseases and atypical health care demographics is often slowed by high interparticipant heterogeneity and overall scarcity of data. Synthetic data (SD) have been proposed as means for data sharing, enlargement, and diversification, by artificially generating real phenomena while obscuring the real patient data. The utility of SD is actively scrutinized in health care research, but the role of sample size for actionability of SD is insufficiently explored.

With the improvement in survival and the reduction in morbidity related to sickle cell disease (SCD), aspects related to reproductive health are emerging as a priority in the care of affected people. We conducted a systematic review looking for evidence describing the functional ovarian reserve levels in women with sickle cell disease. To locate studies, a search was performed in electronic databases, in addition to preprint servers and reference lists of selected publications.
