Introduction: The transition from traditional laparoscopy to robotic surgery marks a significant chage in surgical practice. An understated aspect of this transition may be the three dimensional (3D) view from the surgical console. This study hypothesises that acclimatisation with 3D virtual reality (VR) video may enhance robotic simulator performance in novice robotic surgeons.

Introduction: Virtual reality (VR) technology is increasingly being explored as a medium for delivering mindfulness-based interventions. While studies have investigated the feasibility and efficacy of VR-based mindfulness interventions, there has been limited synthesis of user experiences and perceptions across diverse applications, hindering the iterative refinement of these technologies and limiting evidence-based guidance for effective deployment in real-world settings. This systematic review aims to comprehensively identify, appraise and synthesise qualitative research on end-user experiences and perceptions of VR-based mindfulness interventions.

Working memory (WM) is a core cognitive mechanism necessary for adaptive behavior. In the last few decades, scientists have studied WM using rodent models through traditional and time-consuming approaches, such as the Radial Arm Maze and the T-Maze. While these traditional tools have presented fundamental understanding, their dependence on manual operations restrains experimental precision and scalability.

Background: Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) is increasingly used in health sciences education to simulate high-risk, low-frequency scenarios such as mass casualty incidents. While prior research has focused on student outcomes, the perceptions of instructors about available IVR tools remains underexplored.

Objective: To evaluate instructors' perceptions regarding ease of use, educational value, and technical quality of the "VR-Triage" immersive simulation tool in a disaster and mass casualty incident course.

Background: Telerehabilitation is a promising solution to provide continuity of care. Most existing telerehabilitation platforms focus on rehabilitating upper limbs, balance, and cognitive training, but exercises improving cardiovascular fitness are often neglected.

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a telerehabilitation intervention combining cognitive and aerobic exercises.
