Article Abstract
After epilepsy surgery, it varies when children re-enter school. The aim of this study was to identify determinants for this variation. Parents of 21 school-attending children participated in semi-structured interviews during their child's hospitalization for epilepsy surgery and one year afterward (based on the standard neuropsychological post-surgical follow-up). The mean time to school re-entry was 10.7 weeks (SD = 6.3). One child did not attend school after one year, whilst the fastest child resumed school 2 weeks after surgery. We performed univariable linear regression models with bootstrapped R for all variables deemed theoretically or clinically relevant to school re-entry. We found that temporal surgery was significantly related to shorter time to school re-entry; and that longer hospitalization, and presurgical outpatient educational counseling were significantly related to longer time to school re-entry. In multivariable linear regression, these variables together predicted 57% of variance (bootstrapped) in time to school re-entry. In conclusion, our findings indicate that school re-entry varies considerably among children but can partly be explained by surgery related variables and the presence of counseling. Given the importance of school in children's daily lives, we argue that school attendance should be stimulated by increasing professionals' awareness of children's school re-entry process.

Mosquito reproductive biology is an underexplored area with potential for developing novel vector control strategies. In this study, we investigated the role of the testis-specific serine/threonine-protein kinase (tssk) family, an essential regulator of spermiogenesis in mammals, in mosquitoes. We identified tssk homologues, As_tssk3 and Aea_tssk1, in Anopheles stephensi and Aedes aegypti, respectively and analyzed their expression across different developmental stages.

Objectives: To systematically review propensity score-matched studies comparing hybrid arch repair (HAR) with total arch replacement (TAR) for aortic arch pathologies, summarizing early outcomes and intermediate-term results.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar to April 2024. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, evaluated by a random-effects model to calculate the odds ratio (OR).

Background: The management of ventricular arrhythmias (VA) following myocardial infarction presents substantial challenges due to the high morbidity and mortality rates, particularly in cases refractory to medical therapy. In certain cases, the arrhythmogenic anatomical substrate is located in the epicardium. Consequently, achieving a transmural injury by endocardial catheter ablation has always been infeasible.

Introduction: Little is known about differences in HIV risk for trans women by partner gender, particularly with respect to social determinants of health and partner-level factors that affect behavior. We examined differences in demographic, social determinants, and HIV-related risk behaviors for trans women with cisgender men and trans women sexual partners.
Materials And Methods: Data are from a cross-sectional survey of trans women and their sexual partners conducted between April 2020 and January 2021.
Upper limb muscle reflexes in real and virtual environments: Insights into sensorimotor adaptations.

Introduction: The mechanisms influencing neuromuscular adaptations in the upper limb within dynamic environments remain understudied, especially when exposed to altered visual and emotional conditions such as those simulated in virtual reality (VR). Here we utilize VR to manipulate visual feedback, inducing motion sickness and modulating sympathetic arousal, while assessing adaptations in sensorimotor integration in the upper extremity using electrically evoked and muscle stretch reflexes.
Methods: Eighteen healthy young adults experienced four experimental conditions while sustaining submaximal activation of their flexor carpi radialis (FCR) muscle by isometrically supporting a weighted load: baseline real-world (Pre-VR), stationary VR (VR-BL), dynamic VR with motion perception via a virtual rollercoaster ride (VR-C), and post-VR following re-entry to the real environment (Post-VR).
