Purpose: To describe the transition from a traditional peer review process to the peer learning system as well as the issues that arose and subsequent actions taken.
Methods: Baseline peer review data were obtained over 1 year from our traditional peer review system and compared with data obtained over 1 year of using peer learning. Data included number of discrepancies and breakdown of types of discrepancies. Staff radiologists were surveyed to assess their perception of the transition.
Results: There were 5 significant discrepancies submitted under the traditional peer review system, and 416 cases submitted under the new peer learning methodology. The most reported peer learning events were perception (45.0 %) and great calls (35.1%). Surveys administered after the intervention period demonstrated that most radiologists felt peer learning contributed more to their professional development and had more opportunities for learning compared with the traditional peer review system.
Conclusion: The benefits of instituting peer learning include increased radiologist engagement and education. There may be challenges in the transition from a traditional peer review system to peer learning; however, the process of solving these issues can also result in an overall improved system.

Background: Traumatic injuries significantly impact individuals' physical and mental health and are a leading cause of disability worldwide. Trauma recovery is complex and entails patients interacting with multiple places of care before returning to the community. Despite trauma recovery being optimized when patients' psychosocial needs are addressed early on and throughout recovery, care remains overwhelmingly focused on physical and functional improvement.

Background: Compensation plays a critical role in motivating staff and enhancing operational performance and human resource costs in hospitals. This study was aimed at investigating pay levels and the key factors influencing pay satisfaction in secondary and tertiary public hospitals in Guangxi.
Methods: Questionnaires were distributed to 48 hospitals across 14 prefecture-level cities in Guangxi.
"There is no need to leave the beach to test": a qualitative study of HIV self-testing knowledge and acceptability of HIV self-test kit distribution among social networks of fishermen in Western Kenya.

Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA.
Background: HIV self-testing (HIVST) can improve HIV testing uptake by offering convenience and privacy. Yet HIVST accessibility and uptake remain limited in Lake Victoria beach communities where HIVST holds promise to address many barriers highly mobile populations of men in fishing communities face. We assessed HIVST knowledge and acceptability among highly mobile fishermen, a high priority population for HIV prevention and treatment, participating in a social network-based study ("Owete"; NCT04772469) to promote HIV testing, prevention, and treatment in Kenya.

Background: Radiomics-based characterization of fluid and retinal tissue compartments of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scans has shown promise to predict anti-VEGF therapy treatment response in diabetic macular edema (DME). Radiomics features are sensitive to different image acquisition parameters of OCT scanners such as axial resolution, A-scan rate, and voxel size; consequently, the predictive capability of the radiomics features might be impacted by inter-site and inter-scanner variations.
Purpose: The main objective of this study was (1) to develop a more generalized classifier by identifying the OCT-derived texture-based radiomics features that are both stable (across multiple scanners) as well as discriminative of therapeutic response in DME and (2) to identify the relative stability of individual radiomic features that are associated with specific spatial compartments (e/g.

As an approach, coaching-based models have been demonstrated to enhance student self-efficacy, improve grades, and increase retention and graduation rates. Coaching-based training models are also key in mentor development, focusing on open-ended questions and active listening to create supportive environments where mentees can independently find solutions. This approach not only builds mentors' communication and leadership skills but also enhances their adaptability and problem-solving abilities.
