Aims And Objectives: To clarify the effects of different methods of reflection on nurses' gaze and judgement in a task using a touch panel, written and oral methods of reflection were compared.

Background: Recently, with the development of ICT, nursing education and learning with ICT have spread. However, there are few studies that have analysed the objective effects of learning with ICT and the effects of different methods of learning.

Design: This study was a randomised controlled trial comparing writing and oral reflection groups.

Methods: Forty-one nurses were divided into two groups as follows: 21 nurses in the writing group and 20 nurses in the oral group. Eye movements were recorded as subjects performed a task on a touch panel. A still photograph of the hospital room was displayed on the touch panel, and the subjects touched the panel according to the instructions provided. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney test to compare the results between the two groups.

Results: In an observation task using a touch panel of a setting requiring environmental improvement, we found no observable differences between the two reflection methods with regard to gaze and judgement in the overall setting. However, with respect to the items in the setting, the writing group judged with gazing after reflection, whereas the oral group judged without gazing.

Conclusions: Oral reflection as well as reflective writing had positive effects on observation for tasks requiring overall gaze and judgement. On the other hand, reflective writing promoted the visual verification of items requiring observation in the hospital setting.

Relevance To Clinical Practice: Reflective writing promotes visual verification in nurses in a clinical setting while performing a task using a touch panel.

Background And Objectives: Peripartum mood and anxiety disorders constitute the most frequent form of maternal morbidity in the general population, but little is known about peripartum mental illness in mothers with multiple sclerosis (MS). We compared the incidence and prevalence of peripartum mental illness among mothers with MS, epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diabetes and women without these conditions.

Methods: Using linked population-based administrative health data from ON, Canada, we conducted a cohort study of mothers with MS, epilepsy, IBD, and diabetes and without these diseases (comparators) who had a live birth with index dates, defined as 1 year before conception, between 2002 and 2017.

Background: The efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) depends on the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), with a preference for a T cell-inflamed TIME. However, challenges in tissue-based assessments via biopsies have triggered the exploration of non-invasive alternatives, such as radiomics, to comprehensively evaluate TIME across diverse cancers. To address these challenges, we develop an ICI response signature by integrating radiomics with T cell-inflamed gene-expression profiles.

Magneto-responsiveness in living organisms, exemplified by migratory birds navigating vast distances, offers inspiration for soft robots and human-computer interfaces. However, achieving both high magneto-responsiveness and resilient mechanical properties in synthetic materials has been challenging. Here, we develop magneto-iono-elastomers (MINEs), combining exceptional magnetization [2.

The presence of digital technologies in clinical learning environments is increasing. However, there is little research into how technologies influence the interplay between touch and the acquisition of physical examination skills by health professional students. In this study, we aimed to explore how digital technologies feature in clinical educators' accounts of current physical examination teaching in practice.

Selection is a fundamental interaction element in virtual reality (VR) and 3D user interfaces (UIs). Raycasting, one of the most common object selection techniques, is known to have difficulties in selecting small or distant objects. Meanwhile, recent advancements in computer vision technology have enabled seamless vision-based hand tracking in consumer VR headsets, enhancing accessibility to freehand mid-air interaction and highlighting the need for further research in this area.
