Article Abstract
Background/objectives: Background: Cancer survivors were at higher risk of poor job performance.
Objectives: We aimed to identify differences in the relationship between patient activation, cancer-related symptoms, and job performance among young adult cancer survivors with low and high workplace support.
Methods: Study Design: Our cross-sectional observational study was conducted using an online survey across Japan in January 2022. Measurement and Statistical Analysis: The survey was designed to assess demographic and clinical characteristics, patient activation, physical fatigue, depression, cognitive impairments, and job performance. Multiple-group structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted using data from 202 survivors.
Results: Of participants, 53% were aged 35-39 years and 78% were female. Patient activation was positively associated with job performance (β = 0.28, < 0.01) and negatively related to cancer-related symptoms (β = -0.30, = 0.01), and cancer-related symptoms were negatively associated with job performance (β = -0.29, = 0.01), only among young adult cancer survivors with low workplace support. On the other hand, in the high support group, the path coefficients from patient activation to cancer-related symptoms (β = -0.06, = 0.76), cancer-related symptoms to job performance (β = -0.12, = 0.37), and patient activation to job performance (β = 0.20, = 0.21) were not significant.
Conclusions: Patient activation plays an important role in improving job performance, especially among young adult cancer survivors who lack workplace support. Even if obtaining workplace support is difficult for young adult cancer survivors, activation of self-management can improve their job performance.

Role ambiguity and nursing interns' achievement of clinical rotation goals: a correlational study.
BMC Nurs
September 2025
Nursing Administration Department, Faculty of Nursing, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt.
Background: Nursing interns frequently encounter role ambiguity due to a mismatch between their expectations of the professional nursing role and the actual responsibilities they face in clinical settings. While clinical rotations during the internship year are intended to enhance clinical confidence and competence, such ambiguity can undermine these goals.
Objective: To examine the relationship between internship clinical rotation and role ambiguity among nursing interns.
Impact of Flow Restrictors on Aerosol Delivery of the Respimat® Soft Mist Inhaler.

Introduction: The modification of an inhaler's air flow resistance influences a patient's inhalation flow profile, thereby affecting the exit velocity of an aerosol leaving the Respimat® mouthpiece. A slower inhalation maneuver results in reduced plume velocity and thus a decreased oropharyngeal deposition due to reduced impaction. This could not only lead to fewer unwanted side effects associated with inhaled therapies, but also enhance lung deposition.

Automatic markerless estimation of infant posture and motion from ordinary videos carries great potential for movement studies "in the wild", facilitating understanding of motor development and massively increasing the chances of early diagnosis of disorders. There has been a rapid development of human pose estimation methods in computer vision, thanks to advances in deep learning and machine learning. However, these methods are trained on datasets that feature adults in different contexts.

Department of Biomedical Engineering, Gachon University, Seongnam-Si 13120, Gyeonggi-Do, Republic of Korea.
To develop and validate a deep-learning-based algorithm for automatic identification of anatomical landmarks and calculating femoral and tibial version angles (FTT angles) on lower-extremity CT scans. In this IRB-approved, retrospective study, lower-extremity CT scans from 270 adult patients (median age, 69 years; female to male ratio, 235:35) were analyzed. CT data were preprocessed using contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization and RGB superposition to enhance tissue boundary distinction.

Department of Immunology and Allergy, Faculty of Medicine, Necmettin Erbakan University, Konya, Türkiye.
Background: Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) represent a major diagnostic challenge in the interpretation of genetic testing results, particularly in the context of inborn errors of immunity such as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). The inconsistency among computational prediction tools often necessitates expensive and time-consuming wet-lab analyses.
Objective: This study aimed to develop disease-specific, multi-class machine learning models using in silico scores to classify SCID-associated genetic variants and improve the interpretation of VUS.
