Why ask why? Toward coordinating knowledge of proximate and ultimate explanations in physiology
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 May 2. doi: 10.1152/advan.00057.2022. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn physiology education, students must learn to recognize and construct causal explanations. This proves difficult, in part, because causal explanations in biology manifest in different varieties. Unlike other natural sciences, causal mechanisms in physiology support physiological functions and reflect biological adaptations. Therefore, students must distinguish between questions that prompt a proximate or an ultimate explanation. In the present investigation, we aimed to determine how these different varieties of students' knowledge...

Anemia and Associated Factors among Public Elementary School Children in Asella Town, Southeast Ethiopia: A Facility-Based Cross-Sectional Study
CONCLUSION: Anemia among school-age children was found to be a mild public health problem. Uneducated mothers, intestinal parasite infections, and underweight children were found to be determinants of anemia among school-age children. Health professionals should provide health education for mothers about child-feeding practices and the consumption of dietary sources of iron.PMID:38694783 | PMC:PMC11062769 | DOI:10.1155/2024/1519382 (Source: Anemia)

Acoustic and Articulatory Visual Feedback in Classroom L2 Vowel Remediation
Lang Speech. 2024 May 1:238309231223736. doi: 10.1177/00238309231223736. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis paper presents L2 vowel remediation in a classroom setting via two real-time visual feedback methods: articulatory ultrasound tongue imaging, which shows tongue shape and position, and a newly developed acoustic formant analyzer, which visualizes a point correlating with the combined effect of tongue position and lip rounding in a vowel quadrilateral. Ten Czech students of the Swedish language participated in the study. Swedish vowel production is difficult for Czech speakers since the languages differ significantly ...

Predicting the cognitive impairment with multimodal ophthalmic imaging and artificial neural network for community screening
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates retinal spectral signature alteration, neurodegeneration and angiopathy occur concurrently in cognitive impairment. The combination of multimodal ophthalmic imaging and BPNN can be a useful tool for predicting cognitive impairment with high performance for community screening.PMID:38697799 | DOI:10.1136/bjo-2023-323283 (Source: The British Journal of Ophthalmology)

Measures implemented in the school setting to contain the COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSIONS: A range of measures can have a beneficial effect on transmission-related outcomes, healthcare utilization and school attendance. We rated the current findings at a higher level of certainty than the original review. Further high-quality research into school measures to control SARS-CoV-2 in a wider variety of contexts is needed to develop a more evidence-based understanding of how to keep schools open safely during COVID-19 or a similar public health emergency.PMID:38695826 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD015029.pub2 (Source: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews)

Knowledge of female genital schistosomiasis and urinary schistosomiasis among final-year midwifery students in the Volta Region of Ghana
CONCLUSION: Awareness of FGS was limited among the study participants. The high prevalence of knowledge of some FGS symptoms related to the genitalia needs cautious interpretation. Health care training institutions must make deliberate efforts to highlight FGS in the training of midwives as the condition has diagnostic and management implications for some sexual and reproductive health conditions.PMID:38696499 | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0302554 (Source: Pain Physician)
