Article Abstract

The full body illusion (FBI) is a bodily illusion based on the application of multisensory conflicts that induce changes in bodily self-consciousness (BSC). This has been used to study cognitive brain mechanisms underlying body ownership and related aspects of self-consciousness. Typically, such paradigms employ external passive multisensory stimulation, thus neglecting the possible contributions of self-generated action and haptic cues to body ownership. In this article, the effects of both external and voluntary self-touch on BSC were examined with a robotics-based FBI paradigm. We compared the effects of classical passive visuotactile stimulation and active self-touch (in which experimental participants had a sense of agency over the tactile stimulation) on the FBI. We evaluated these effects using a questionnaire, crossmodal congruency task, and measurements of changes in self-location. The results indicated that both synchronous passive visuotactile stimulation and synchronous active self-touch induced illusory ownership over a virtual body, without significant differences in their magnitudes. However, the FBI induced by active self-touch was associated with a larger drift in self-location towards the virtual body. These results show that movement-related signals arising from self-touch impact the BSC not only for hand ownership but also for torso-centered body ownership and related aspects of BSC.

Education of First Nations Australians about cancer-what evidence is there around its effectiveness? A narrative review.

Lancet Reg Health West Pac

August 2025

Western Australian Centre for Rural Health, University of Western Australia, 167 Fitzgerald Street, Geraldton, Western Australia, 6530, Australia.

Poorer cancer prevention and control outcomes for First Nations Australians have resulted in a need for improved health literacy, that is their capacity as individuals to access, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. This narrative review explores the evidence on how education programs work to improve First Nations Australians' understanding of cancer, and how this leads to more effective use of prevention, screening and treatment services. Limited to the Australian context, a bibliographic search using terms structured around four main concepts: Aboriginal, Cancer, Australia, and Intervention (health literacy, health promotion) was undertaken in May 2024 for publications from January 2000.

Unlabelled: Among individuals aged ≥ 40 years old, we found that after controlling for age, sex, FMI, and tissue thickness, an increase of 1kg/m of ALMI is associated with an increase in TBS of 0.058, which is approximately half of one population standard deviation, or 4.7% of the average value for TBS.

Background: Although cases of tenosynovitis associated with foreign bodies are documented in the literature, there is no reported instance of the treatment of foreign body-associated tenosynovitis with ultrasound (US)-guided steroid injection. The use of corticosteroid injection under US guidance for flexor tenosynovitis associated with foreign bodies is a noteworthy subject.

Case Report: In this case report, we present the contribution of US-guided targeted steroid injection to the treatment of flexor tenosynovitis of the third finger of the left hand associated with a foreign body.
