While the US-Mexico border region has had increasing restrictions due to coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), the economically and socially integrated region continues to facilitate necessary movement between the two countries. Binational partners representing universities, government, and health delivery worked together to develop a COVID-19 Virtual Seminar for the US-Mexico Border Region, which consisted of weekly sessions in Spanish designed to better facilitate communication and collaborative systems between border states. In total 835 participants registered for the virtual seminar with attendance ranging from 394 in Session 1 to 269 in Session 6. From evaluation surveys (n = 297), organizers observed a large plurality of healthcare professionals, followed by students, researchers, and government employees. The seminar's contribution to increasing collaborative and communication systems identified major needs in the region surrounding surveillance and monitoring; increased resources for migrant shelters to control outbreaks; an increase in personal protective equipment; tracking binational cases.

Effective pharmacy education requires incorporating interactive and engaging strategies that encourage collaboration among people from diverse backgrounds. Activities that forward cultural humility in combination with interprofessional education (IPE) are beneficial to achieve a comprehensive educational experience for enhanced patient centered care and effective teamwork between colleagues. Moving beyond travel seminars and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs), these goals can be met through numerous educational formats, which can be tailored to the needs of the course using institutional resources available.

Given the heterogeneous nature of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the absence of established biomarkers, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment remain a challenge in clinical practice. This study investigates the predictive utility of multimodal data, including eye tracking, EEG, actigraphy, and behavioral indices, in differentiating adults with ADHD from healthy individuals. Using a support vector machine model, we analyzed independent training (n = 50) and test (n = 36) samples from two clinically controlled studies.

Background: New digital learning environments have transformed medical education and training, allowing students and teachers to engage in synchronous, real-time interactions and asynchronous learning activities online. Despite extensive research on the role of digital technologies in education, understanding the interplay between digital technology, work, and learning, especially in complex fields like healthcare, remains a challenge.
Objective: The objective of this study is to examine resident physicians' perceptions and experiences of using a digital learning environment as part of their specialist medical training.
Efficacy and experience of system constellations in virtual reality (VR): study protocol for a randomized controlled feasibility study.
Pilot Feasibility Stud
December 2024
Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy III, Faculty of Health (Department of Psychology and Psychotherapy), Witten/Herdecke University, Alfred-Herrhausen-Str. 50, Witten, 58455, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- This study explores the feasibility of using virtual reality (VR) for system constellations (SCs), a therapeutic approach, with a focus on determining the sample size needed for a larger randomized controlled trial (RCT).
- A total of 128 clients will be divided into two groups: one receiving the VR intervention immediately and the other on a wait-list, allowing researchers to assess both the research methods and the intervention's effectiveness over time.
- The outcomes measured will include adherence to SC-VR, psychological wellbeing, social functioning, and goal achievement, with follow-ups planned at various intervals to evaluate both short- and mid-term effects of the intervention.
Understanding the emergence of 'Communitization' under India's National Rural Health Mission (NRHM): Findings from two Witness Seminars.

The George Institute for Global Health, New Delhi, India.
India's experience with the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) is notable on account of nationally formalising - at scale - community action in service delivery, monitoring, and planning of health services. A study was undertaken to document and create a historical record of NRHM's 'communitization' processes. The oral history method of the Witness Seminar was adopted and two virtual seminars with five and nine participants, respectively, were conducted, and supplemented with 4 in depth interviews.
