    Abstract Antibiotic resistance is a worldwide problem that is increasing largely due to the misuse of antibiotics in human health and agriculture. This situation is further exacerbated by a dearth of new antibiotic development, the focus of pharmaceutical companies having shifted to more lucrative treatments for chronic conditions such as elevated blood pressure. To conserve the efficacy of the current crop of antibiotics, it is vital that they are used appropriately by individuals. Effective education may be a means to achieve such appropriate use. This paper reports on a large-scale, mixed methods study, which employed a survey and oral questionnaires, undertaken with senior secondary Omani students. The study explored students' understanding of antibiotic resistance as well as their attitudes to the issue of antibiotic resistance. The study findings indicated that, although some students had a reasonably clear understanding of antibiotic resistance, many had serious misconceptions that could result in misuse of antibiotics. The article concludes with suggestions for amending secondary school pedagogy in Oman to address the misconceptions.

    Abstract Objective: To assess a common hypothesis that data serve as a mechanism to improve health and health equity in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), we conducted a synthesis of the evidence about the linkage between data capabilities in LMICs and health outcomes.
    Methods: We searched and reviewed peer-reviewed and grey literature published in the past decade that focused on at least one aspect of health data or health equity or provided insights on the relationship between data use and improved health outcomes, decision-making, or both. We supplemented this with expert interviews and convenience-sampled literature.
    Results: Of the 50 included articles, 33 discussed data collection, with 23 stating that poor accuracy, reliability, and completeness hindered data-informed decision-making. Of 27 articles discussing data access, 18 described how lack of interoperability between data systems hampered governments' and other organizations' ability to leverage the full value of data available. Of 19 articles discussing data use, 13 discussed how data were not getting to those doing work on the ground. Although key informants postulated a virtuous cycle between data and improved health outcomes, evidence did not support this connection.
    Conclusions: Findings indicate better data might improve health service delivery. However, more work is needed to examine whether improvements in data yield improvements in health outcomes in LMICs. Our conceptual framework of data equity for health and health equity developed through this scoping review helps identify the key components along which to assess improvements in LMICs' data capabilities.

    Abstract Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) have gained traction as a powerful model in cardiac disease and therapeutics research, since iPSCs are self-renewing and can be derived from healthy and diseased patients without invasive surgery. However, current iPSC-CM differentiation methods produce cardiomyocytes with immature, fetal-like electrophysiological phenotypes, and the variety of maturation protocols in the literature results in phenotypic differences between labs. Heterogeneity of iPSC donor genetic backgrounds contributes to additional phenotypic variability. Several mathematical models of iPSC-CM electrophysiology have been developed to help understand the ionic underpinnings of, and to simulate, various cell responses, but these models individually do not capture the phenotypic variability observed in iPSC-CMs. Here, we tackle these limitations by developing a computational pipeline to calibrate cell preparation-specific iPSC-CM electrophysiological parameters. We used the genetic algorithm (GA), a heuristic parameter calibration method, to tune ion channel parameters in a mathematical model of iPSC-CM physiology. To systematically optimize an experimental protocol that generates sufficient data for parameter calibration, we created simulated datasets by applying various protocols to a population of

    Abstract Introduction: Exorbitism in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis is often managed by LeFort III (LF3) or Monobloc (MB) distraction osteogenesis (DO). This study compared short- and long-term orbital craniometrics after LF3DO/MBDO and related these findings to symptom relief.
    Methods: Patients undergoing LF3DO or MBDO from 2000-2021 with pre- and postoperative imaging were included. Postoperative CTs were categorized as early (<1 year) or late (>1 year), and age-matched control CTs were compared to late postoperative scans. Superior/inferior orbital rim position, relative globe position, and orbital volume were analyzed. Symptoms were assessed by a patient-reported outcome (PRO) analysis.
    Results: Thirty-four patients (16 LF3DO, 18 MBDO) were matched by age at surgery, sex, syndrome, and age at imaging. Time to late CT was 6.2 years (LF3DO) and 7.5 years (MBDO). Between early and late postoperative time points, LF3DO patients experienced no change in inferior rim position. MBDO patients experienced a decrease in inferior orbital rim position of 4.7mm (p=0.005), but superior orbital rim distance remained stable. Comparison of late scans and age-matched controls revealed no difference in inferior or superior orbital rim position in LF3DO patients, but the superior orbital rim distance was longer in MBDO patients (p=0.015). PRO response rate was 76% with a median follow up of 13.7 years. Most (81%) symptomatic patients improved, 19% remained symptomatic, and no patients worsened.
    Conclusions: LF3DO and MBDO achieved stable orbital craniometric changes, with improved stability at the inferior orbital rim after LF3DO. Craniometric changes were associated with long-term exorbitism symptom relief.

    Abstract (1) Background: There is abundant literature in talent development investigating the relative age effect in talent systems. There is also growing recognition of the reversal of relative age advantage, a phenomenon that sees significantly higher numbers of earlier born players leaving talent systems before the elite level. However, there has been little investigation of the mechanisms that underpin relative age, or advantage reversal. This paper aimed to investigate (a) the lived experience of relative age in talent development (TD) systems, (b) compare the experience of early and late born players, and (c) explore mechanisms influencing individual experiences. (2) Methods: interviews were conducted with a cohort of near elite and elite rugby union players. Data were subsequently analysed using reflexive thematic analysis and findings considered in light of eventual career status. (3) Results: challenge was an ever-present feature of all players journeys, especially at the point of transition to senior rugby. Psycho-behavioural factors seemed to be a primary mediator of the response to challenge. (4) Conclusions: a rethink of approach to the relative age effect is warranted, whilst further investigations of mechanisms are necessary. Relative age appears to be a population-level effect, driven by challenge dynamics.
