Targeted neonatal echocardiography (TNE) is an important skill to advise diagnosis and management. Training in TNE is currently optional for neonatal subspecialty (grid) trainees and accessing training is often challenging. We disseminated a survey, asking neonatal grid trainees for their views on TNE training. 48 out of 91 trainees (53%) completed the survey. 96% of trainees (n=48) wanted to learn TNE with similar numbers eager to access a formal training package, using a variety of teaching media. Identified barriers to TNE training included time, access to supervision and the perceived complexity of the skill. These findings will influence the design and delivery of a regional TNE training programme.

Adaptive hip exoskeleton control using heart rate feedback reduces oxygen cost during ecological locomotion.

Despite their potential, exoskeletons have not reached widespread adoption in daily life, partly due to the challenge of seamlessly adapting assistance across various tasks and environments. Task-specific designs, reliance on complex sensing and extensive data-driven training often limit the practicality of the existing control strategies. To address this challenge, we introduce an adaptive control strategy for hip exoskeletons, emphasizing minimal sensing and ease of implementation.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigated how dart exercises affect visual perception and attention in 40 pre-adolescent students, dividing them into an exercise group and a control group.
- The research involved a 12-week dart exercise program, conducted three times a week, with pre- and post-tests measuring various attention and perception parameters.
- Results showed significant improvements in visual perception and attention levels in the exercise group compared to the control group, suggesting that dart exercises can serve as an effective cognitive training tool for this age group.

Background And Aim: Transnasal endoscopy (TNE) has been proven to reduce the need for intravenous anesthesia and the cost of the exams compared to conventional esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in adults. The objective of this study is to evaluate the benefits and the adverse effects of TNE in adolescents compared to conventional EGD.
Methods: We reviewed the pediatric patients from 2012 to 2022, who had undergone TNE at National Taiwan University Hospital due to epigastralgia.
Long-term longitudinal analysis of 4,187 participants reveals insights into determinants of clonal hematopoiesis.

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is linked to diverse aging-related diseases, including hematologic malignancy and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). While CHIP is common among older adults, the underlying factors driving its development are largely unknown. To address this, we performed whole-exome sequencing on 8,374 blood DNA samples collected from 4,187 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (ARIC) participants over a median follow-up of 21 years.
