Published: November 1996

Interdisciplinary education is, again, a timely topic. It has been seen as an important strategy in recent reports and commissions dealing with the future of the health care system and its personnel needs. The present article reviews conceptual and practical issues in the design, development, and implementation of interdisciplinary education in allied health. A foundation for planning involves the integration of an interdisciplinary practice model with the usual model of psychomotor skills, cognitive skills, and knowledge domain for a particular discipline. Planning issues are addressed in a series of six questions for allied health administrators and faculty to consider.

Background: Construct validity and responsiveness of upper limb outcome measures are essential to interpret motor recovery poststroke. Evaluating the associations between clinical upper limb measures and sensor-based arm use (AU) fosters a coherent understanding of motor recovery. Defining sensor-based AU metrics for intentional upper limb movements could be crucial in mitigating bias from walking-related activities.

Following the establishment of Nepal's first medical college in 1972, forensic medicine was introduced in 1978. To date, 25 medical colleges in the country have included forensic medicine as a compulsory subject in the undergraduate medical curriculum. Although this subject has been introduced into the medical curriculum, the outcome is unsatisfactory, as reflected by the poor medico-legal reports prepared by newly graduated medical students.

The implementation and side effect management of immune checkpoint inhibitors in gynecologic oncology: a JAGO/NOGGO survey.

BMC Cancer

January 2025

Young Academy of Gynecologic Oncology (JAGO), Nord-Ostdeutsche Gesellschaft für Gynäkologische Onkologie (NOGGO), Berlin, Germany.

Background: The integration of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) into routine gynecologic cancer treatment requires a thorough understanding of how to manage immune-related adverse events (irAEs) to ensure patient safety. However, reports on real-world clinical experience in the management of ICIs in gynecologic oncology are very limited. The aim of this survey was to provide a real-world overview of the experiences and the current state of irAE management of ICIs in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

Department of Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine, Centre for Interdisciplinary Research, D Y Patil Education Society (Deemed to be University), Kolhapur, India.

Bone tissue engineering is a promising field that aims to rebuild the bone tissue using biomaterials, cells, and signaling molecules. Materials like natural and synthetic polymers, inorganic materials, and composite materials are used to create scaffolds that mimic the hierarchical microstructure of bone. Stem cells, particularly mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), play a crucial role in bone tissue engineering by promoting tissue regeneration and modulating the immune response.
