Published: November 2020

Bioethics education is a central element in the biotechnology curriculum. Re-imagining distance learning, virtual reality (VR) is taking student involvement to the next level of interaction, offering a real classroom experience and a new way to gain ethical reasoning skills. Here, we explore a new paradigm for bioethics education that involves VR.

A position coding model that accounts for the effects of event boundaries on temporal order memory.

Cogn Psychol

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning & IDG/McGovern Institute for Brain Research, Beijing Normal University, China; Chinese Institute for Brain Research, China. Electronic address:

Episodic memories, particularly temporal order memory, are influenced by event boundaries. Although numerous theoretical and computational models have been developed to explain this phenomenon, creating a model that can explain a wide range of behavioral data and is supported by neural evidence remains a significant challenge. This study presented a new model, grounded in ample evidence of position coding, to account for the impact of event boundaries on temporal order memory.

We designed and synthesized three diacetylene monomers M1-M3 having two NH2 groups. As anticipated, the NH2 groups aided the preorganization of these monomers by N-H…N hydrogen bonding. In the crystals of monomer M1 and M2, the intermolecular N-H…N hydrogen bonding preorganized the diyne units in an orientation suitable for their topochemical polymerization, but in the case of monomer M3, the distance was slightly larger than that recommended for the topochemical reaction.

Motion mapping and positioning of lumbrical muscles in the carpal tunnel-a cadaveric study.

J Orthop

July 2025

Department of Hand Surgery, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, 576104, India.

Aims And Objectives: Dynamic incursion of lumbrical muscle proximal to the distal edge of transverse carpal ligament (TCL) has been long debated for its role in causing median nerve compression in the carpal tunnel. This study aims to evaluate the pattern of lumbrical incursion into the carpal tunnel in various finger positions and determine their extent of presence and relationship with respect to the TCL and to each other in the carpal tunnel.

Materials & Methods: Dissection of 30 fresh frozen cadaveric hands was done to map the lumbrical muscles.

Whole slide imaging (WSI) provides tissue visualization at the cellular level, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of computer-aided diagnostic systems. High-precision autofocusing methods are essential for ensuring the quality of WSI. However, the accuracy of existing autofocusing techniques can be notably affected by variations in staining and sample heterogeneity, particularly without the addition of extra hardware.
