Aim: This study aimed to determine which high-fidelity simulation (HFS) experiences were associated with clinical reasoning and clinical competence among new nurses.
Background: HFS has been actively used in nursing education. It is necessary to verify the effects of HFS transfer to the clinical environment.
Design: A cross-sectional study reported following STROBE criteria.
Methods: Data were collected on new nurses (n = 224) who experienced HFS in their fourth-year undergraduate courses. The number of HFSs, the inclusion of simulation elements, the importance of elements to learning, clinical reasoning, and clinical competence were measured. Hierarchical regression models examined factors associated with clinical reasoning and clinical competence.
Results: Feedback was the most sufficiently included element of the HFS learning, and participants perceived it as the most important. A significant factor associated with clinical competence was clinical reasoning, and HFS design indirectly affected clinical competence through clinical reasoning.
Conclusions: HFS learning is one of the best ways to improve clinical reasoning. Improving students' clinical reasoning should be an important goal of HFS learning in undergraduate courses to prepare students to be clinically competent nurses.
Implications For Nursing: The ultimate goal of nursing education is to prepare nursing students to be competent nurses. Validating the outcomes of nursing education in the clinical environment setting is an essential task to improve clinical practice.
Implications For Nursing Policy: Nurse educators and leaders can increase nurses' clinical competence by emphasizing education to foster nurses' clinical reasoning in nursing education policies.

Background: After the landmark approval of the Aβ-lowering antibody for treatment of mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD), it has intensified the need to stratify patients based on the likelihood that they will benefit from any amyloid-lowering treatments currently in the pipeline. We therefore seek to identify individuals most likely to benefit from Aβ-lowering drugs by estimating intervention effect based on counterfactual reasoning for longitudinal cognitive decline at the individual level.
Method: We utilized 3,542 T1-weighted magnetic resonance images from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), involving 3,103 Alzheimer's patients and 439 cognitively normal individuals.
Cognitive biases in osteopathic diagnosis: a mixed study among French osteopaths.

Scientific and Osteopathic Research Department, Institut de Formation en Ostéopathie du Grand Avignon IFO-GA, Avignon, France.
Objectives: Although cognitive biases are one of the most frequent causes of diagnostic errors, their influence remains underestimated in allied health professions, especially in osteopathy. Yet, a part of osteopathic clinical reasoning and diagnosis rely on the practitioner's intuition and subjective haptic perceptions. The aim of this study is to highlight links between the cognitive biases perceived by the practitioner to understand cognitive patterns during osteopathic diagnosis, and to suggest debiasing strategies.

Background: Current evidence on non-pharmacological treatments in Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) are relatively few and limited by small sample sizes. The goal of this pilot study was to test the efficacy of a new multimodal treatment that combines Tele-Neurorehabilitation and "Bright Light" Therapy (BLT) in a sample of DLB patients.
Method: Eighteen DLB patients (7F; 74.

Background: In a landscape where both cognitive decline and diabetes are on the ascent globally, an increasingly pertinent question emerges: what interconnections exist between dementia and diabetes in older individuals? Cognitive impairment is a decline in mental abilities that affects memory, attention, reasoning, and other cognitive functions leading to dementia. Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia, as well as vascular complications that damage the brain. Several studies have shown that type 2 diabetes and hypertension can impair blood-brain barrier integrity, cerebral circulation, glucose metabolism, inflammation, oxidative stress, and amyloid-beta production in the brain.

Background: Developing culture-fair tests that measure constructs equivalently across different ethno-lingual groups is challenging, given the diverse cultural variations that impact neurocognitive measurement. Multi-level measurement invariance must be established before interpreting scores similarly across groups, both within and between cultures for meaningful comparisons.
Method: We set out to test whether a neurocognitive tool (BENCI) behaves the same way across the males (n = 311) and the females group (n = 291) using measurement invariance testing with multigroup confirmatory factor analysis.
