Year: 2026 Issue: 1 Volume: 11 Abstract: Despite growing attention to equity in healthcare simulation, persistent disparities in participation and learning outcomes among learners from minoritized backgrounds remain insufficiently explained. Existing simulation-based education frameworks describe how learning occurs but offer limited insight into how inequitable learning conditions shape learners' experiences. We propose minority stress theory (MST) as a conceptual framework for understanding how stress related to minoritized identity operates within healthcare simulation environments. Originally developed to explain health disparities among sexual minorities, MST conceptualizes stress as arising from both structurally embedded conditions (distal…

Front Neurol. 2026 Sep 23;17:1915520. doi: 10.3389/fneur.2026.1915520. eCollection 2026. ABSTRACT Neuroimaging studies of vertigo and chronic dizziness have identified abnormalities across vestibular, visual, somatosensory, and cognitive-emotional networks, but conventional group-level analyses are limited in capturing individual heterogeneity and longitudinal change. This narrative methodological review integrates current evidence and proposes a framework combining functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced statistical modeling, anchored in two priority research scenarios: PPPD phenotyping and longitudinal characterization of residual dizziness after BPPV repositioning. AI, particularly unsupervised learning, may help identify candidate network subtypes from high-dimensional fMRI features, whereas mixed-effects, nonlinear, and latent trajectory models can evaluate their longitudinal stability, clinical relevance, and temporal evolution…
