Analytical reasoning was more commonly used by high-performing students compared with low-performing students.
Our results suggest that VSAQs encourage more authentic clinical reasoning strategies. Differences in cognitive approaches used highlight the need for focused approaches to teaching clinical reasoning and dealing with uncertainty.

To investigate the role of the spatial position of conversing talkers, that is, spatially separated or co-located, in the listener’s short-term memory of running speech and listening effort.
In two experiments (between-subject), participants underwent a dual-task paradigm, including a listening (primary) task wherein male and female talkers spoke coherent texts. Talkers were either spatially separated or co-located (within-subject). As a secondary task, visually presented tasks were used. Experiment I involved a number-judgement task, and Experiment II entailed switching between number and letter-judgement task.
Twenty-four young adults who reported normal hearing and normal or corrected to normal vision participated in each experiment. They were all students from the RWTH Aachen University.
In both experiments, similar short-term memory performance of running speech was found independently of talkers being spatially separated or co-located. Performance in the secondary tasks, however, differed between these two talkers’ auditory stimuli conditions, indicating that spatially separated talkers imposed reduced listening effort compared to their co-location.
The findings indicated that auditory-perceptive information, such as the spatial position of talkers, plays a role in higher-level auditory cognition, that is, short-term memory of running speech, even when listening in quiet.

We aimed to translate a Turkish version of the COPM (COPM-TR) and assess its reliability and validity. The COPM-TR was administered to 82 participants (42.2 ± 11.6 years and 32.9% of the participants were male) with multiple sclerosis (MS) for convergent validity and reliability analysis. The COPM-TR was administered with the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 (MSQoL-54), and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) to determine its convergent validity. Test-retest reliability (a week interval) was assessed by the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). There were moderately strong negative correlations between EDSS and performance and satisfaction score of COPM-TR. There were moderately strong positive correlations between MSQoL-54 physical and performance of COPM-TR and moderate positive correlations between MSQoL-54 physical and satisfaction of COPM-TR. Moderate positive correlations found between the MSQoL-54 mental and COPM-TR performance and satisfaction scores. Test re-test reliability of COPM-TR performance indicated excellent reliability. The current study demonstrates that the COPM-TR is a valid and reliable tool for measuring the perceived occupational performance and satisfaction of people with MS.
Review evidence is lacking about how contraception is affected by severe social disruption, such as that caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this scoping review was to explore the impact of natural and man-made disasters on contraception in OECD member countries.
Manual searches and systematic searches in six electronic databases were conducted with no language restrictions. All articles were screened by at least two researchers. The data were analysed thematically.
108 articles were included. Most focussed on the Zika virus outbreak (
= 50) and the COVID-19 pandemic (
= 28). Four key themes were identified importance of contraception during disasters, impact of disasters on contraceptive behaviour, barriers to contraception during disasters and ways of improving use of contraception during disasters. Despite efforts to increase access to contraception including by transforming ways of delivery, barriers to use meant that unmet need persisted.
To prevent adverse health outcomes and reduce health costs as a result of failure to have access to contraception during disasters, there is a need to intensify efforts to remove barriers to use. This should include increasing access and information on methods of contraception and their side effects (e.g., menstrual suppression) and making contraception freely available.

Fertilization is a key event in human reproduction. The male genetic factors associated with total fertilization failure (TFF) are largely unknown. this website To date, only mutations in PLCZ1 have been reported as male factors that result in human fertilization failure. Here, we report a novel DNAH17 mutation that resulted in male infertility and TFF.
A male patient with a three-year history of primary infertility presented with TFF after two failed cycles of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Use of donor sperm resulted in a healthy baby. Peripheral blood samples were taken from the proband and his parents and analyzed using whole exome and Sanger sequencing for clinical detection of genetic mutations.
Compound heterozygous variants in DNAH17 were detected NM_173628.4 c.1048 C > T and c.3390G > A; p.Arg350* and p.Met1130Ile. The latter variant was found to be highly conserved among mammals.
