Purpose: Despite robust quality improvement efforts in healthcare, learning from patient safety incidents remains difficult. Our study explores counter-vailing powers shaping learning processes and possibilities in healthcare organizations, with a focus on social, political and organizational dynamics of learning.
Design/methodology/approach: Deploying concepts of situated curriculum, boundary work and interconnected knowledge practices, we interviewed staff and physicians ( = 15) in a large Academic Health Science Centre in Canada about their experiences of incident investigations and resultant information sharing.

Background: Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne illness in the United States, and cases of Lyme disease have nearly doubled since the early 2000s. Symptoms and presentation vary based on severity of illness, with more serious complications of disease consisting of neurologic and cardiac dysfunction. Testing is often unreliable, which can lead to delayed diagnosis and management.

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a common chlorinated hydrocarbon contaminant in soil and groundwater, and reductive dechlorination is a biological remediation. However, the TCE reductive dechlorination often stagnates in the stage of cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (cDCE) and chloroethylene (VC). Anaerobic/aerobic sequential degradation provides a new approach for the complete detoxification of TCE, while there has been no systematic summary of bacteria, enzymes, and pathways in the synergistic process.

Facultative scavenging can be observed across a large range of carnivorous mammals but is an uncommon behavioural trait in cheetahs (). Very few incidents of cheetahs scavenging have been reported, with no explanation given as to why it may occur. In this paper, we provide three more observations of cheetahs scavenging between 2019 and 2023 in three different protected areas in South Africa and Malawi.

Damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) results in visual field deficits on the contralateral side of the world corresponding to the damaged region. Patients with such loss nonetheless show varying residual vision within this apparently blind region, with the neural mechanisms underlying this ability obscured by small study populations. We identified lesions on structural scans from 39 patients (12 female) with hemianopia and occipital lobe damage.
