Background: Medical Kitchen is an innovative transdisciplinary simulation aimed at helping 2nd-year medical students at Imperial College London transition from declarative to procedural knowledge acquisition and prepare them for learning clinical skills, grounded in established psychomotor skills development theories, including Kovacs' definitions and the Fitts and Posner's model.
Approach: It employs a transdisciplinary simulation approach that blends professional gastronomy with medical training. Designed initially in response to the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, the course offers a scalable and replicable model that includes mechanisms for peer feedback and reflective exercises.
Evaluation: The responses for these exercises were analysed thematically to gauge the course's effectiveness. Findings suggest that the Medical Kitchen succeeds in creating a low-stakes, safe learning environment that not only enhances practical skill learning but also emphasises the crucial non-technical skills needed in medical practice.
Implications: The Medical Kitchen represents a forward-thinking strategy for medical educators seeking to improve procedural skill training, warranting further research into the long-term impacts of the course on student outcomes.

Background And Objectives: Recent literature has applied locus of control (LOC), a psychological measure for understanding individuals' perceived control, to forcibly displaced populations. An internal LOC is generally considered beneficial for well-being in the Western context. However, the cross-cultural validity of this construct warrants further examination.

Background: Nutrition and food security have been a development priority for decades and remain a major challenge for developing nations like India. Although agriculture is the dominant occupation in India, the rural populations experience poor nutritional outcomes and lag in socio-economic progress. More than half of the Indian women (15-49 years) are anaemic & one-third of the children are stunted.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the genetic disorder myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) each are associated with progressive muscle wasting, whole-body insulin resistance, and impaired systemic metabolism. However, CKD is undocumented in DM1 and the molecular pathogenesis driving DM1 is unknown to involve the kidney. Here we use urinary extracellular vesicles (EVs), RNA sequencing, droplet digital PCR, and predictive modeling to identify downregulation of metabolism transcripts Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase-1, 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, Dihydropyrimidinase, Glutathione S-transferase alpha-1, Aminoacylase-1, and Electron transfer flavoprotein B in DM1.

In the present study, different amounts of blackthorn fruit (BF) powders (1 %, 3 %, 5 %) obtained by convective hot air and freeze drying methods were used in marshmallow production. According to the results, it was determined that the moisture values of the marshmallow samples varied between 23.88 and 24.
