This exploratory study explored second-year students' experience with reflective activities in a Canadian Master's in Occupation Therapy program. A survey and follow-up interviews were conducted to examine multiple perspectives and the influences of reflective activities on students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson Chi-Square, and thematic analysis. Findings revealed that reflections on personal or societal perspectives were perceived to be more beneficial than reflections on clinical simulations. Three themes emerged: (1) key elements influencing the reflective experience, (2) diverse experiences of reflective activity, and (3) the perceived outcomes resulting from positive reflective experiences. This study highlights the significance of reflective activities in occupational therapy education and identifies key elements that shape students' experiences with reflective activities.

Acute myocardial infarction (MI) remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with inflammatory and reparative phases playing critical roles in disease progression. Currently, there is a pressing need for imaging techniques to monitor immune cell infiltration and inflammation activity during these phases. We developed a novel probe, Tc-HYNIC-mAb, utilizing a monoclonal antibody that targets the voltage-gated potassium channel 1.

The gene-regulatory mechanisms controlling the expression of the germline PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway components within the gonads of metazoan species remain largely unexplored. In contrast to the male germline piRNA pathway, which in mice is known to be activated by the testis-specific transcription factor A-MYB, the nature of the ovary-specific gene-regulatory network driving the female germline piRNA pathway remains a mystery. Here, using as a model, we combined multiple genomics approaches to reveal the transcription factor Ovo as regulator of the germline piRNA pathway in ovarian germ cells.

Post-COVID-19 Syndrome or long COVID (LC) is a novel public health crisis and, when persistent (>2 years), is a long-term condition. Post-exertional symptom exacerbation (PESE) is a characteristic symptom of LC and can be improved in a structured pacing rehabilitation programme. To evaluate the effect of an 8-week structured World Health Organisation (WHO) Borg CR-10 pacing protocol on PESE episodes, LC symptoms, and quality of life in a cohort of individuals with long-term LC.

Sphenoid wing meningiomas (SWM) frequently compress structures of the optic pathway, resulting in significant visual dysfunction characterized by vision loss and visual field deficits, which profoundly impact patients' quality of life (QoL), daily activities, and independence. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of SWM surgery on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) regarding postoperative visual function. The Visual Function Score Questionnaire (VFQ-25) is a validated tool designed to assess the impact of visual impairment on quality of life.
