Article Abstract

A large and a small disk with radii and , side by side, exchange positions repetitively at 1.33 Hz. The motion is ambiguous. If < 0.8 then observers perceive a single large disk jumping back and forth across a small static disk. But if / > 0.8, observers perceive two static disks that expand and contract in counter phase, with no motion across the gap between the disks. Observers respond to the movement of the , which is greatest when < 0.8.

It has become increasingly apparent that healthcare is characterized by a great degree of novelty, ambiguity, and complexity. Traditional approaches to education in the health professions that emphasize the acquisition and assessment of isolated knowledge and skills as the gold standard do not prepare learners to adapt, innovate, and continue to learn throughout their careers. Productive failure, originating in the adaptive expertise literature, is an evidence-based instructional approach that has been shown to prepare students across the continuum of education for future learning.

The limited mechanistic understanding and ambiguous structure-performance relationships have hindered the optimization of Cu-based catalysts for the reverse water-gas shift (rWGS) reaction. Here, we report a flame spray pyrolysis (FSP)-derived Cu-CeO catalyst featuring highly dispersed, surface-substituted Cu species (CuCeO) anchored on a defect-rich ceria matrix. This catalyst demonstrates excellent stability and outstanding rWGS activity at 600 °C, achieving a CO production rate of 8094 mmol/g/h, surpassing the conventional Cu-CeO catalyst and other reported rWGS catalysts.

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is clinically classified into localized (LCL), mucocutaneous (MCL) and diffuse (DCL) types. While conducting a treatment study on CL at two sites in Ethiopia (Boru Meda and Gondar), differences in opinion in the classification of CL became apparent. The lack of uniformly understandable classifications has made comparison and generalizability of research findings challenging.

Organ preservation in rectal cancer: opportunity within boundaries.

Int J Colorectal Dis

August 2025

Department of Translational Medicine and LTTA Centre, University of Ferrara, Via Aldo Moro 8, 44124, Ferrara, Italy.

Purpose: To highlight the opportunities and pitfalls of organ-preservation strategies for rectal cancer and to define the clinical circumstances in which radical total mesorectal excision (TME) remains imperative, particularly when treatment is delivered outside referral centres.

Methods: Two illustrative patients initially managed in a tertiary hospital that is not a referral centre for rectal cancer and organ-preservation strategies are presented. Clinical records, imaging, histopathology, and follow-up were reviewed.

Background: Despite global and national commitments to gender equity, including Sustainable Development Goal 5, health policy processes often fail to adequately integrate gender considerations. This study explores how gender is prioritized in the development and implementation of four Kenyan Health Policy Implementation Strategies (HPIS), offering insight into the role of institutional actors, policy framing, and contextual factors.

Methods: A qualitative case study was conducted involving content analysis of four HPIS documents - KASF II 2020, NSP-NCD 2021, NSP-TB 2019, and COVID-TTS 2019 - and semi-structured interviews with 16 policy stakeholders.
