Unlabelled: Instructional technology has offered faculty new and innovative ways in which to prepare and deliver learning materials to students online. Although online learning has been a part of the higher education landscape, it has not been traditionally utilized by health science faculty to its fullest capacity.

Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study was to examine health science faculty perceptions regarding their readiness to teach online.

Methods: This study employed a mixed method design using a sequential explanatory framework. Faculty readiness was identified by their attitude regarding competencies and ability perceptions using the Faculty Readiness to Teach Online (FRTO) instrument.

Results: Health science faculty have limited training in teaching online, and there is a significant difference in perceptions and attitudes towards which competencies in remote instruction are critical to focus on.

Outcomes: Findings confirm the online instruction training needs of health science faculty that will support engagement of health science students as adult learners both meaningfully and effectively now and in the future.

Human embryo implantation: The complex interplay between endometrial receptivity and the microbiome.

J Reprod Immunol

January 2025

The endometrial and vaginal microbiota have co-evolved with the reproductive tract and play a key role in both health and disease. However, the difference between endometrial and vaginal microbiota, as well as their association with reproductive outcomes in women undergoing frozen embryo transfer, remains unclear. 120 women who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and whole embryo freezing were enrolled.

- Brain tumors (BT), both benign and malignant, pose a substantial impact on human health and need precise and early detection for successful treatment. Analysing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image is a common method for BT diagnosis and segmentation, yet misdiagnoses yield effective medical responses, impacting patient survival rates. Recent technological advancements have popularized deep learning-based medical image analysis, leveraging transfer learning to reuse pre-trained models for various applications.

Ledged Beam Walking Test Automatic Tracker: Artificial intelligence-based functional evaluation in a stroke model.

Comput Biol Med

January 2025

Neurological Sciences and Cerebrovascular Research Laboratory, Department of Neurology and Stroke Centre, Neurology and Cerebrovascular Disease Group, Neuroscience Area La Paz Institute for Health Research (idiPAZ), (La Paz University Hospital- Universidad Autónoma de Madrid), Spain. Electronic address:

The quantitative evaluation of motor function in experimental stroke models is essential for the preclinical assessment of new therapeutic strategies that can be transferred to clinical research; however, conventional assessment tests are hampered by the evaluator's subjectivity. We present an artificial intelligence-based system for the automatic, accurate, and objective analysis of target parameters evaluated by the ledged beam walking test, which offers higher sensitivity than the current methodology based on manual and visual counting. This system employs a residual deep network model, trained with DeepLabCut (DLC) to extract target paretic hindlimb coordinates, which are categorized to provide a ratio measurement of the animal's neurological deficit.

Multiple Sclerosis Center of Excellence West, Veterans Affairs, USA; Rehabilitation Care Service, VA Puget Sound Health Care System, 1660 S Columbian Way, Seattle, Washington, 98108, USA; Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Washington, 325 9th Avenue, Seattle, Washington, 98104, USA. Electronic address:

Background/objective: Identifying research priorities of Veterans, MS researchers, and key stakeholders is critical to advance high-quality, evidence-based, and Veteran-specific MS care.

Methods: We used a modified Delphi approach to identify research priorities for Veterans with MS. Electronic surveys were distributed to Veterans with MS (n = 50,975), MS researchers (n = 191), VA healthcare providers (1,337), and funding agency representatives (n = 6) asking about their 2-3 most important research questions that would benefit Veterans with MS for researchers to answer in the next 5-10 years.

Myocardial infarction can lead to the loss of billions of cardiomyocytes, and while cell-based therapies are an option, immature nature of in vitro-generated human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (iCMs) is a roadblock to their development. Existing iPSC differentiation protocols don't go beyond producing fetal iCMs. Recently, adult extracellular matrix (ECM) was shown to retain tissue memory and have some success driving tissue-specific differentiation in unspecified cells in various organ systems.
