There is growing recognition of the value of "" coach development practice across a variety sporting contexts. Unfortunately, however, there remains a limited number of tools available with which to observe coaching practice. In this study, we pilot and test a quasi-systematic tool for observation in the form of the 3Ps. Drawing on a range of representational perspectives, the theoretically neutral labels of "procedure", "planning", and "process" were developed for the purpose of holistic observation. In order to test the tool, a group of experienced coach development practitioners ( = 10) integrated the tool into their practice over a 12-month programme of professional development. Those participants subsequently took part in semi-structured interviews, in which they expressed a strong sense of acceptability, perceiving effectiveness and positive opportunity cost. We propose that the 3Ps tool presents a holistic and practically useful means of observing coaches' professional judgment and decision making. We also suggest future directions for the researcher who seeks to generate evidence in a naturalistic coaching context.

Potential next generation markers of testicular germ cell tumors: miRNA-371a-3p.

Article Synopsis
- - Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are the most common type of testicular cancer in young to middle-aged men, with a high cure rate of over 95% when diagnosed early; however, traditional serum tumor markers (STMs) have less than 60% sensitivity.
- - miRNA-371a-3p, a microRNA associated with embryonic stem cells, has been found to be specifically expressed in TGCTs and offers superior diagnostic and follow-up capabilities compared to conventional STMs, garnering interest in clinical guidelines.
- - A comprehensive study reviewed 368 research articles on miRNA-371a-3p, culminating in 67 relevant studies that confirm its effectiveness as a sensitive blood
Exploring galectin-3's role in predicting mild cognitive impairment in type 2 diabetes and its regulation by miRNAs.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess galectin-3 as a potential biomarker for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and develop a predictive nomogram that combines galectin-3 with clinical risk factors.
- Using a cross-sectional design, researchers analyzed data from 329 T2DM patients to investigate the relationship between galectin-3 plasma levels and cognitive performance, developing a nomogram that showed strong predictive capabilities for MCI.
- Results indicated that galectin-3 levels are an independent risk factor for MCI, and the study identified hsa-miR-128-3p as being significantly downregulated in MCI patients, suggesting a regulatory

Few avian species use tools in the wild. Yet, several birds build nests of great complexity and many aspects of tool use may also apply to nest building. It has long been hypothesised that tool use may select for specialised cognitive adaptations or even general cognitive skills.
