    Abstract The aim of this integrative review was to explore the effect of care bundles in the prevention of Medical Device Related Pressure Ulcers (MDRPU). An MDRPU is a wound that occurs on the skin or mucosal membranes because of pressure or pressure in combination with shear. Like other types of pressure ulcers, they will have negative consequences for patients and healthcare organisations alike. Many MDRPU's are preventable. A literature search was undertaken from computerised databases using key search terms, Pressure Ulcer* Pressure Injur* and Medical Device*. Databases included CINAHL; Medline and SocIndex. A total of seven studies were found that met the criteria for inclusion in this review. When compared to the widely recognised and trusted international guidelines there was variation found between the individual interventions selected within each study for inclusion within the bundle. Skin assessment and device repositioning were the most frequently included interventions in the bundles, followed by use of prophylactic dressings, appropriate device selection and fitting. The least common intervention was monitoring the tension of the device and/or its securements. All studies reported a reduction in the number of MDRPU's when care bundles were used in clinical practice. However, there is variation in bundle designs and study methodologies employed. This review has demonstrated the potential benefit of care bundles in reducing MDRPU. However, due to heterogeneity in the study methods employed and the interventions within the care bundles, further, more robust research is required to establish which interventions show the most clinical and patient benefit.

    Abstract Purpose: Retention is a key marker of trial success. Poor retention can induce bias, reduce statistical power and minimise the validity of trials. This review examined retention rates in exercise trials in cancer survivors, reasons for non-retention and retention strategies utilised.
    Methods: A systematic review was conducted using a predefined search strategy in EMBASE RCTs, MEDLINE OVID, CINAHL, Web of Science-Core Collection and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). The search was conducted on 27/03/2023. Title and abstract screening, full text review and data extraction were completed in duplicate.
    Results: Of 17,524 studies identified, 67 trials involving 6093 participants were included. The median overall retention rate immediately post-intervention was 89.85%, range (52.94-100%) and mean 87.36% (standard deviation 9.89%). Trials involving colorectal cancer survivors only had the highest median retention rate (94.61%), followed by breast (92.74%), prostate (86.00%) and haematological cancers (85.49%). Studies involving mixed cancer cohorts had the lowest retention rate (80.18%). The most common retention strategies were wait-list control groups, regular check-ins/reminders and free exercise equipment. Common reasons for non-retention were lost to follow-up, health problems, personal reasons including family/work commitments and travel burden, and disease progression.
    Conclusions: Retention rates in exercise oncology trials are approximately 90% immediately post-interventions. Our previous work highlighted variable suboptimal recruitment rates of median 38% (range 0.52-100%). Recruitment rather than retention should be prioritised for methodology research in exercise oncology.
    Implications for cancer survivors: Optimising the quality of exercise oncology trials is critical to informing high quality survivorship care. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023421359.

    Abstract The storage of long-term memories is a dynamic process. Reminder cues can destabilize previously consolidated memories, rendering them labile and modifiable. However, memories that are strongly encoded or relatively remote at the time of reactivation can resist destabilization only being rendered labile under conditions that favour memory updating. Using the object location recognition task, here we show in male C57BL/6 mice that novelty-induced destabilization of strongly-encoded memories requires muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) activation. Furthermore, we use the objects-in-updated locations task to show that updating of object location memories is mAChR-dependent. Thus, mAChR stimulation appears to be critical for spatial memory destabilization and related memory updating. Enhancing our understanding of the role of ACh in memory updating should inform future research into the underlying causes of behavioural disorders that are characterized by persistent maladaptive memories, such as age-related cognitive inflexibility and post-traumatic stress disorder.

    Abstract Experience in research facilitates development of science identity and encourages undergraduate student persistence along the pathway to careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Participation in authentic research can foster identity development by influencing a sense of belonging, recognition, interest, and performance and competence in science. We examine science identity in a group of five community college women in marine science during a 2-year study in which students participated in a research experience. We used interviews, surveys, identity artifacts, and significant circles before and after the research experience in a thematic analysis to explore identities and examine their intentions, interests, perspectives, and aspirations for a future career. Participation in research provided opportunities for students to gain conceptual understanding of themselves and their abilities in science as well as explore and clarify their professional interests. This work builds upon our current understanding by providing evidence that conceptualization of career trajectories and self as a science professional is an important component of identity. Exploring career options and developing professional conceptualization are critical components in science research experiences and warrants additional study to understand the role of professional conceptualization in shaping student trajectories in STEM.

    Abstract Consolidation of multi-domain risk management research is essential for strategies facilitating the concerted government (educational) and population-level (behavioural) actions required to reduce microbial private groundwater contamination. However, few studies to date have synthesised this literature or sought to ascertain the causal generality and extent of supply contamination and preventive responses. In light of the Republic of Ireland (ROI) and Ontario's high reliance and research focus on private wells and consequent utility for empirical comparison, a scoping review of pertinent literature (1990-2022) from both regions was undertaken. The SPICE (Setting, Perspective, Intervention, Comparison, Evaluation) method was employed to inform literature searches, with Scopus and Web of Science selected as primary databases for article identification. The review identified 65 relevant articles (Ontario = 34, ROI = 31), with those investigating well user actions (n = 22) and groundwater quality (n = 28) the most frequent. A markedly higher pooled proportion of private supplies in the ROI exhibited microbial contamination (38.3 % vs. 4.1 %), despite interregional similarities in contamination drivers (e.g., weather, physical supply characteristics). While Ontarian well users demonstrated higher rates of historical (≥ 1) and annual well testing (90.6 % vs. 71.1 %; 39.1 % vs. 8.6 %) and higher rates of historical well treatment (42.3 % vs. 24.3 %), interregional levels of general supply knowledge were analogous (70.7 % vs. 71.0 %). Financial cost, organoleptic properties and residence on property during supply construction emerged as predictors of cognition and behaviour in both regions. Review findings suggest broad interregional similarities in drivers of supply contamination and individual-level risk mitigation, indicating that divergence in contamination rates may be attributable to policy discrepancies - particularly well testing incentivisation. The paucity of identified intervention-oriented studies further highlights the importance of renewed research and policy agendas for improved, targeted well user outreach and incentivised, convenience-based services promoting routine supply maintenance.

    Abstract Destabilization of previously consolidated memories places them in a labile state in which they are open to modification. However, strongly encoded fear memories tend to be destabilization-resistant and the conditions required to destabilize such memories remain poorly understood. Our lab has previously shown that exposure to salient novel contextual cues during memory reactivation can destabilize strongly encoded object location memories and that activity at muscarinic cholinergic receptors is critical for this effect. In the current study, we similarly targeted destabilization-resistant fear memories, hypothesizing that exposure to salient novelty at the time of reactivation would induce destabilization of strongly encoded fear memories in a muscarinic receptor-dependent manner. First, we show that contextual fear memories induced by 3 context-shock pairings readily destabilize upon memory reactivation, and that this destabilization is blocked by systemic (ip) administration of the muscarinic receptor antagonist scopolamine (0.3 mg/kg) in male rats. Following that, we confirm that this effect is dorsal hippocampus (dHPC)-dependent by targeting M1 receptors in the CA1 region with pirenzepine. Next, we show that more strongly encoded fear memories (induced with 5 context-shock pairings) resist destabilization. Consistent with our previous work, however, we report that salient novelty (a change in floor texture) presented during the reactivation session promotes destabilization of resistant contextual fear memories in a muscarinic receptor-dependent manner. Finally, the effect of salient novelty on memory destabilization was mimicked by stimulating muscarinic receptors with the selective M1 agonist CDD-0102A (ip, 0.3 mg/kg). These findings reveal further generalizability of our previous results implicating novel cues and M1 muscarinic signaling in promoting destabilization of resistant memories and suggest possible therapeutic options for disorders characterized by persistent, maladaptive fear memories such as PTSD and phobias.
