    Abstract Ultrasound is used increasingly in the investigation of the rotator cuff. It is as accurate as magnetic resonance imaging in the detection of rotator cuff tears and the assessment of tear size and can demonstrate atrophy and fatty infiltration in the rotator cuff muscles. This article reviews the anatomy and technique of shoulder ultrasound, the ultrasound findings in rotator cuff disease, the accuracy of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of rotator cuff tears and the role of interventional ultrasound of the shoulder.

    Abstract Problem: Peer support is understudied as a factor that can impact midwifery student retention.
    Background: Retention of midwifery students is essential for creating a sustainable maternity care workforce. Research shows that peer support positively influences students' experiences, but it needs more focus on the role peers play in student retention.
    Aim: We aimed to examine how peer support can facilitate midwifery students' retention by exploring the role peers play in students' experiences and identifying the types of support students offer each other.
    Methods: We conducted 31 semi-structured interviews with students attending Midwifery Education Programmes across Canada. Data were analysed inductively, following the constructivist grounded theory method.
    Findings: While motivated and engaged peers improved students' learning experiences and desire to remain in their program, peers who created an overly competitive academic environment hindered learning. Students also noted that a lack of diversity, particularly of Black and Indigenous peers, limited their ability to learn about culturally safe care. Most students felt a sense of community and relied on one another for emotional, academic, and instrumental support.
    Discussion: Peer support has mostly positive effects on student learning and should be formalized by midwifery educators to improve retention. Reducing pressure to succeed, targeting recruitment of students who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour, and establishing formal mentorship programmes could enhance the role peers play in student retention.
    Conclusion: While retention of students is a complex issue, positive interactions with peers can create a stimulating learning environment and increase students' desire to stay in their programme.

    Abstract X-linked hypophosphatemia is the most common cause of inherited rickets, due to inactivating variants of PHEX. More than 800 variants have been described to date and one which consists of a single base change in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) (c.*231A>G) is reported as prevalent in North America. Recently an exon 13-15 duplication has been found to occur in concert with the c.*231A>G variant, and thus it is unclear whether the pathogenicity is solely a function of the UTR variant. We present a family with XLH who harbors the exon 13-15 duplication but does not carry the 3'UTR variant, providing evidence that the duplication itself is the pathogenic variant when these two variants are found in cis.

    Abstract Maternal adiposity impacts lactation performance, but the pathways are unclear. We conducted a systematic review to understand whether maternal adiposity (body mass index [BMI] or % fat mass) is associated with onset of lactogenesis II (copious milk; hours), human milk production (expressed volume/24hrs), and infant consumption of mother's own milk (volume/24hrs). We used random-effects standard meta-analyses to compare the relative risk (RR) of delayed lactogenesis II (>72 hours) between mothers classified as underweight (BMI <18.5kg/m

    Abstract Aim: To examine (1) what role preceptors play in students' learning; (2) how student-preceptor relationships can impact students' views of the profession and their decision to leave the program; and (3) what strategies can be used to improve the preceptor-student relationship to facilitate student retention.
    Research design and participants: We used a qualitative methodological approach utilising semi-structure interviews with 31 midwifery students across Canada. Participants were recruited from all midwifery education programs and were in various stages of their educational journey. The interviews were conducted in English and French. Inductive analysis followed Charmaz's guidelines moving from line-by-line to focused coding and development of analytical categories.
    Findings: The results show that positive relationships with preceptors boosted students' confidence and contributed to the constructive learning experiences among trainees. Students pointed out that their best learning experiences were facilitated by preceptors who created a safe space to make mistakes and were knowledgeable and invested in students' learning. Students also suggested that power imbalance is embedded in student-preceptor relationships and can negatively impact students' learning experiences and their decision to stay in the program.
    Key conclusions and implications for practice: It is important to consider how to mitigate the power imbalance embedded in preceptor-student relationship. Offering more training to preceptors, oversight of preceptors' mentorship skills by midwifery educators, and creation of ombudsperson's position might mitigate some of the power differential and facilitate students' ability to complete midwifery training.

    Abstract Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) is a persistent organic pollutant with worldwide bioaccumulation due to a very long half-life. Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid exposure results in significant hepatic effects including steatosis, proliferation, hepatomegaly, and in rodents, carcinogenesis. The objective of this study was to determine whether PFOS exposure exacerbates nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis pathogenesis. Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 J mice (n = 5 per group) were fed ad libitum normal chow diet (ND) alone, 60% high-fat diet (HFD) alone, ND + PFOS, and HFD + PFOS (0.0001% w/w (1 mg/kg) of PFOS) for 6 weeks. Both HFD alone and the ND + PFOS treatment induced significant adiposity and hepatomegaly, but the HFD + PFOS treatment showed a marked protection. Oil Red O staining and quantitative analysis of hepatic lipid content revealed increased hepatic steatosis in ND + PFOS and in HFD alone fed mice, which was prevented in HFD + PFOS treatment. Further studies revealed that ND + PFOS treatment significantly affected expression of lipid trafficking genes to favor steatosis, but these changes were absent in HFD + PFOS group. Specifically, expression of CD36, the major lipid importer in the cells, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), its major regulator, were induced in HFD + no treatment (NT) and ND + PFOS-fed mice but remained unchanged in HFD + PFOS mice. In conclusion, these data indicate that coadministration of PFOS with HFD mitigates steatosis and hepatomegaly induced by HFD and that by PFOS fed in ND diet via regulation of cellular lipid import machinery. These findings suggest dietary lipid content be considered when performing risk management of PFOS in humans and the elucidation of PFOS-induced hepatotoxicity.
