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)

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...

Canadian Undergraduate Perspectives on Medical Assistance in Dying for Mental Illness: Does Psychiatric Illness Type, Age, and Exposure to Information Influence Acceptance of MAiD?
This study investigates the attitudes of undergraduate students towards widening the scope of MAiD for physical illness for certain psychiatric conditions. We were interested in understanding if age, information, and type of mental illness influenced undergraduates' acceptance or rejection of MAiD for mental illness (MAiD-MI).METHOD: 413 undergraduate students participated in this study which examined the factors that correlate with the acceptance or rejection of MAiD-MI. Four scenarios were presented in which age (older or younger) and illness type (depression or schizophrenia) were manipulated. Demographic questions and ...

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)

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 ...

LUNet: deep learning for the segmentation of arterioles and venules in high resolution fundus images
This study aims to automate the segmentation of retinal arterioles and venules (A/V) from digital fundus images (DFI), as changes in the spatial distribution of retinal microvasculature are indicative of cardiovascular diseases, positioning the eyes as windows to cardiovascular health. Approach. We utilized active learning to create a new DFI dataset with 240 crowd-sourced manual A/V segmentations performed by 15 medical students and reviewed by an ophthalmologist. We then developed LUNet, a novel deep learning architecture optimized for high-resolution A/V segmentation. The LUNet model features a double dilated convolutio...
