Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Dr Francesca Pesola. In the June episode Jamie Hartmann-Boyce talks with Francesca Pesola from the Wolfson Institute of Population Health Queen Mary University of London Dr Francesca Pesola talks to Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce about the results from the trial of e-cigarettes compared to nicotine patches for smoking cessation in pregnant women. Professor Tim Coleman discussed this study in our May 2021 podcast and the results have now been published in Nature Medicine, Hajek et al 2022 (DOI: 10.1038/s41591-022-01808-0). Dr Pesola outlines the need to identify smoking cessation aids to help women quit during pregnancy. Dr Pesola discusses the results of their randomised control trial of 1,140 participants comparing refillable e-cigarettes with nicotine patches in which pregnant women who smoke were randomized to e-cigarettes or nicotine patches. Dr Pesola reports that the unadjusted analysis of the primary outcome of validated quit rates at the end of pregnancy were not found to be significantly different between the e-cigarette and nicotine patch arms. However, Dr Pesola explains that some people in the study used non-allocated products, for example people in the nicotine patch group were also found to be using e-cigarettes. This meant that if they then quit you were not able to be sure whether the quitting behaviour was due to the nicotine patch or to the e-cigarette. The study team had anticipated this behaviour and pre-specified that they would exclude people who were abstinent and who had used non-allocated products. Dr Pesola reports that after doing this e-cigarettes were found to be more effective than patches. The safety profile was similar for both study products, however, low birthweight (

In this 132nd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. This week, we discuss the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and how both individuals and political entities on both “sides” are responding to it. We discuss the implications of whether other organisms might use abortifacients, and how fuzzy categories are revealed with the discovery of a giant bacterium. We discuss whether twitter is sanctioning violence, while saying that they are doing the opposite. And we discuss the recent reveal that the CDC, despite seeming to claim the opposite for well over a year now, is now acknowledging that they have not been analyzing adverse events from the Covid vaccines. ***** Support the sponsors of the show: Thesis: personalized nootropics for motivation, creativity, confidence and more.

SUMMARY Research demonstrates that showing stress can lead to greater support from others.   TRANSCRIPT Welcome to episode 143 of the Leadership Today podcast where each week we bring research to life in your leadership. This week we explore at how showing stress can lead to greater support from others. Have you ever thought about why we demonstrate stress? Surely showing signs of stress to others puts us at a disadvantage. Why would we want to show weakness? And why do even the most accomplished professionals still show signs of stress? Researchers from Nottingham Trent University and the University of Portsmouth recently reinforced what we already know - people are pretty good at identifying stress in others. As people feel more stressed, others notice more stress in them - there's nothing revolutionary about that finding. However they took it one step further to examine the impact of those stress signs on others. It turns out that people reacted more positively to those who demonstrated signs of stress than those who didn't. Those who demonstrated signs of stress were seen as more likeable. So why might that be the case? The researchers highlighted that human beings are largely a cooperative species - we survive and thrive by helping each other. They theorised that an honest sign of weakness may show that we are willing to cooperate, or at least that we're not a threat.  All of this builds on a body of research that suggests being more emotionally expressive helps us to be well-liked by others and results in more positive social interactions.  Here are some thoughts based on this research that you can take and apply: Show your emotions - the goal of emotional intelligence isn't to become emotionless. In fact, showing no emotion may lead us to be seen as competitive or difficult to read. Encourage others - when someone does show signs of stress, provide them with some support and encouragement. Imagine yourself in that situation and how much a kind word would help. Don't overdo it - one of the worst ways to start a speech is saying “I'm really nervous”. People want someone they can relate to, but also someone that they can be confident in. Rewrite your emotions - if you feel stressed or nervous, reframe that as wanting to do a good job or being excited to present work that matters to you. Stress isn't necessarily bad. We can use our own and others' stress as a way to build connections and cooperation.   REFERENCE Jamie Whitehouse, Sophie J. Milward, Matthew O. Parker, Eithne Kavanagh, Bridget M.

From cosmic rays in Antarctica, to chasing Eclipses to learn about stellar weather. Neutrinos are hard to track and detect, as are cosmic rays. Neutrinos suddenly coming out of Antarctica baffled scientists hunting for cosmic rays.  Underground glacial lakes, compacted snow, cosmic can help explain mysterious neutrino emissions. Tracking eclipses and gathering data over 20 years can help us understand stellar weather. By studying the Sun's corona, scientists can better understand the magnetic field and stellar weather. The sun changes activity over 11 year cycles, and it's magnetic field also rearranges itself from highly structured to loose and messy.   Ian M.

First, a thank you to frontline healthcare workers, clinical researchers, and one determined master's student Michelle Cristina-Oliveira of the Hospital das Clínicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de São Paulo for their bravery and dedication to science and medicine! In this episode we bring you a conversation between Associate Editor Dr. Jason Carter (Montana State University), lead author Dr. Tiago Pecanha (Universidade de São Paulo, and Manchester Metropolitan University), and expert Dr. Paul Fadel (The University of Texas at Arlington). From June 2020 to May 2021 first author Michelle Cristina-Oliveira screened over 600 patients at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in São Paulo, Brazil in order to enroll 211 COVID-19 patients within 72 hours of hospital admission. The authors sought to determine whether brachial artery flow-mediated dilation and carotid intima-media thickness measured upon hospital admission were associated with acute outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Based on initial case reports, Cristina-Oliveira et al. felt that the endothelium could be an important target for SARS-CoV2. The authors hypothesized that measuring markers of endothelial function and atherosclerosis upon hospital admission could provide critically important information about potential risks of mortality, admission to ICU, and requirement for mechanical ventilation. Did the authors find that endothelial function and atherosclerosis were useful in predicting major clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients? This study lends further insight into understanding the role of reduced flow mediated dilation in mediating the negative effects of COVID on cardiovascular health. Listen to find out why.   Michelle Cristina-Oliveira, Kamila Meireles, Saulo Gil, Fábio Cavalcante Assis, João Carlos Geber-Júnior, Samuel Katsuyuki Shinjo, Heraldo Possolo de Souza, Alfredo Nicodemos Cruz Santana, Paul A.

Dr. Alexander Pohlman from Rush Medical College, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL, describes a recent review published by Oncotarget that he co-authored entitled, “The role of IGF-pathway biomarkers in determining risks, screening, and prognosis in lung cancer.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28202 Correspondence to - Jeffrey A. Borgia - jeffrey_a_borgia@rush.edu Abstract Background: Detection rates of early-stage lung cancer are traditionally low, which contributes to inconsistent treatment responses and high rates of annual cancer deaths. Currently, low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening produces a high false discovery rate. This limitation has prompted research to identify biomarkers to more clearly define eligible patients for LDCT screening, differentiate indeterminate pulmonary nodules, and select individualized cancer therapy. Biomarkers within the Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF) family have come to the forefront of this research. Main Body: Multiple biomarkers within the IGF family have been investigated, most notably IGF-I and IGF binding protein 3. However, newer studies seek to expand this search to other molecules within the IGF axis. Certain studies have demonstrated these biomarkers are useful when used in combination with lung cancer screening, but other findings were not as conclusive, possibly owing to measurement bias and non-standardized assay techniques. Research also has suggested IGF biomarkers may be beneficial in the prognostication and subsequent treatment via systemic therapy. Despite these advances, additional knowledge of complex regulatory mechanisms inherent to this system are necessary to more fully harness the potential clinical utility for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Conclusions: The IGF system likely plays a role in multiple phases of lung cancer; however, there is a surplus of conflicting data, especially prior to development of the disease and during early stages of detection. IGF biomarkers may be valuable in the screening, prognosis, and treatment of lung cancer, though their exact application requires further study.

​As our climate changes, feeding the planet without making things worse is a big challenge. How do plants work together to survive extreme weather events? When there is a large drought or extreme weather event what works better, single species or mixed? Plant diversity can help plants weather the storm of climate change and come out stronger. How do cover crops help 'fix' nitrogen in the soil and reduce negative climate impacts. Excess fertiliser is not only expensive for farmers but damaging to the local and global environment. How can cover crops help soil recover and reduce negative climate change impacts of mono cropping.  Yuxin Chen, Anja Vogel, Cameron Wagg, Tianyang Xu, Maitane Iturrate-Garcia, Michael Scherer-Lorenzen, Alexandra Weigelt, Nico Eisenhauer, Bernhard Schmid. Drought-exposure history increases complementarity between plant species in response to a subsequent drought. Nature Communications, 2022; 13 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-30954-9 Nakian Kim, Chance W.

BUFFALO, NY- June 8, 2022 – A research paper was recently published in Oncotarget, entitled, “A novel group of genes that cause endocrine resistance in breast cancer identified by dynamic gene expression analysis.” Breast cancer (BC) is the most common type of cancer diagnosed in women. Among female cancer deaths, BC is the second leading cause of death worldwide. For estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) breast cancers, endocrine therapy is an effective therapeutic approach. However, in many cases, ER-positive tumors become unresponsive to endocrine therapy, and tumor regrowth can occur after treatment. While some genetic mutations contribute to resistance in some patients, the underlying causes of resistance to endocrine therapy are mostly undetermined. “Endocrine therapies have been successful at improving cancer outcomes; however, the development of endocrine resistance, or resistance to inhibition of ER actions, remains a roadblock in breast cancer treatment.” In the current study, researchers from UTHealth Houston, University of Chicago, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the University of Houston explored the dynamic behavior of the entire gene population to identify novel genes that play fundamental roles in the development and progression of endocrine-resistant breast cancer. “In this study, we utilized a recently developed statistical approach to investigate the dynamic behavior of gene expression during the development of endocrine resistance and identified a novel group of genes whose time course expression significantly change during cell modelling of endocrine resistant BC development.” To better understand the process of acquiring endocrine resistance and its underlying gene expression patterns, the researchers applied their recently developed statistical pipeline to datasets from a public functional genomics repository. They found dynamically regulated genes active in the process of endocrine resistance development and progression. Their dynamic gene expression analysis identified 34 novel genes that significantly changed during cell modeling of endocrine-resistant breast cancer development. Expression of a subset of these genes was also differentially expressed in microarray analysis of endocrine-resistant and endocrine-sensitive tumor samples. Surprisingly, a subset of those genes was also differentially expressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) as compared with ER-positive BC. “The findings suggest shared genetic mechanisms may underlie the development of endocrine resistant BC and TNBC.” DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28225 Correspondence to: Michihisa Umetani – mumetani@uh.edu, and Vahed Maroufy – Vahed.Maroufy@uth.tmc.edu Special Collection on Breast Cancer: https://www.oncotarget.com/collections/breast-cancer/ Keywords: breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer, gene expression profiling, endocrine resistance, gene clustering About Oncotarget: Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

On today's podcast, we're going to talk with the founder of Dandy Doula, Xian Brooks, MPH, about the importance of intersectional birth work and amplifying the need for intersectional birth support for queer, trans, and BIPOC birthing bodies. Xian Brooks (he/him) is a public health professional from Louisville, Kentucky, where he is a community-based birth doula and a Master of Science in Nursing student. Xian completed his Bachelor's of Science in Public Health Education at North Carolina Central University and his Master's of Public Health in Community and Behavioral Health at the University of Colorado. Over time, Xian has accumulated a lot of experience in queer, trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming reproductive health education. Xian's training has equipped him to understand the root causes of perinatal death rates among Black individuals, especially how race, gender, sexual orientation, and class are not mutually exclusive when it comes to health disparities. Xian's lived experience recognizes that health disparities are more than just numbers on a page. Xian is currently working towards becoming a nurse-midwife because representation in healthcare is extremely important to Xian. He firmly believes it is necessary to overcome negative health outcomes and revolutionize healthcare. We talk about what inspired Xian to dive into the work of community and behavioral health as well as his journey as a nurse-midwife. We also discuss what intersectional birth work looks like and the importance to amplify the need to create safe perinatal spaces for queer, trans, and BIPOC birthing bodies.  Content warning: We mention transphobia, misgendering, deadnaming, racism, police violence, and birth trauma.

The brain is incredibly important and needs to be protected by your body but this also makes it hard to treat. Brain tumours can be stubborn to root out because many treatments are blocked by the blood brain barrier. The blood brain barrier blocks many cancer treatments, but with the right disguise and nano coating cancer treatments can sneak past. Brain tumours can block the immune system from functioning, but sneaking through the right treatment can help the immune system fight back. Traumatic brain injury and subsequent inflammation can lead to significant damage, and normal anti-inflammatory methods are blocked by the blood brain barrier. If you can't sneak anti-inflammatories through the blood brain barrier, why not just boost their production locally? T Cells can fight back against inflammation after a traumatic brain injury if there's enough food for them to thrive on.  Yshii, L., Pasciuto, E., Bielefeld, P. et al. Astrocyte-targeted gene delivery of interleukin 2 specifically increases brain-resident regulatory T cell numbers and protects against pathological neuroinflammation. Nat Immunol, 2022 DOI: 10.1038/s41590-022-01208-z Mahmoud S.

How does in utero glucocorticoid administration impact autonomic control of the heart in adult offspring in a sex-dependent manner? In this episode, Associate Editor Dr. Crystal Ripplinger (University of California – Davis) interviews authors Dr. Taben Hale and Lakshmi Madhavpeddi (University of Arizona) along with expert Dr. Glen Pyle (University of Guelph) about the new work by Madhavpeddi et al. The authors administered dexamethasone to pregnant rats using a dose and timing that closely mimicked clinical application of dexamethasone administration to pregnant women at risk for preterm delivery to prevent respiratory distress in newborns. At baseline, the authors did not observe any differences between the prenatally-exposed offspring and controls. In response to an experimental stressor, however, the authors found that prenatal exposure to dexamethasone resulted in exaggerated blood pressure and heart rate only in adult female rats. Prenatally-exposed adult male rats did not exhibit any stress response changes in cardiovascular function. In addition, only the dexamethasone-exposed adult female offspring showed a reduction in the high frequency component of heart rate variability, indicating withdrawal of parasympathetic activity. What role does angiotensin II play in the altered autonomic response induced by prenatal dexamethasone exposure? Can we derive important potential clinical applications of this work related to the long-term impact on offspring from treatments administered during their mothers' pregnancies? Listen now to find out.   L. Madhavpeddi, B. Hammond, D. L. Carbone, P. Kang, R. J Handa, T. M.

SUMMARY Variety may be the spice of life, but it also helps with personal development.   TRANSCRIPT Welcome to episode 140 of the Leadership Today podcast where each week we bring research to life in your leadership. This week we discuss how variety can help with learning and development. You may have heard the expression that variety is the spice of life, but variety also turns out to be important for development and learning. Research shows us that learning in a broader and more variable setting ultimately helps us to do three things: It helps us to better identify which elements are relevant It helps us to make broader generalisations It forces us to reconstruct memories - getting us out of the ruts that might otherwise trap us Let's take an example from the research. If an infant is learning what a dog is as a category, it's quick and easy to just show them one type of dog. Show them that exact dog, and they will tell you that it is a dog. It takes longer to learn what a dog is if we expose that same infant to multiple types of dogs, however they're then much better at generalising that learning to a new type of dog. If I've only ever seen one type of dog, I may not correctly identify a new type of dog as a dog. If instead I learned what a dog is by seeing lots of different examples, I'm much better able to correctly identify a new type of dog. The same principle applies for adults learning a new sport. One option if I'm learning tennis would be to practice one shot over and over again. Another way could involve learning and practicing lots of different shots. The second way takes a lot longer to get us to the point where we can hit the ball over the net, but it is going to be much better in the unpredictability of a tennis match than the first approach to learning. So variety and variability in learning is harder, but it leads to better generalisation.  The researcher Raviv highlights a great example of this relating to face recognition.He shares that “face recognition is affected by whether people grew up in a small community (fewer than 1000 people) or in larger community (over 30,000 people). Exposure to fewer faces during childhood is associated with diminished face memory." So even in social skills like face recognition, we're better off learning with variability and variety. Other research highlights that even incidental exposure to something new primes us to learn more about it. There's something about allowing ourselves to be exposed to new experiences and things that sets us up for learning.  So how much variety is there in your job? How often in the average week are you trying things for the first time? We all know that learning is hard - it takes effort. But if we want to maximise our learning and ability, it's important to remember that variety is the spice of development.   REFERENCES Limor Raviv, Gary Lupyan, Shawn C.

La National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP) publicó un compendio de posiciones oficiales sobre el manejo prehospitalario de la vía aérea. Esta es la primera vez que se publica un documento que sirva como referencia para la creación de protocolos. Existen muchos estudios sobre el manejo prehospitalario de la vía aérea. Este documento refleja las mejores prácticas a esta fecha, basados en la totalidad de los estudios. Destreza definitoria de la resucitación El manejo de la vía aérea es una de las destrezas que definen nuestra práctica de resucitar un paciente que no protege su vía aérea o que no tiene una respiración adecuada, indistintamente de su causa (paro cardiaco, de trauma, de sepsis, de un accidente cerebrovascular, etc.) A pesar de lo importante que es, las estadísticas presentan una imagen poco alentadora sobre la consistencia y eficacia de los sistemas de atención prehospitalaria. En otro momento discutiremos los beneficios versus los riesgos del manejo básico versus el manejo avanzado. Este artículo del compendio de manejo prehospitalario de la vía aérea se concentra en cómo enseñamos esta importante destreza. ¿Cargar y llevar o quedarse y jugar en el manejo prehospitalario de la vía aérea? Fuera del hospital existen dos tipos de pacientes: los que necesitan atención inmediata y los que necesitan transporte inmediato. A veces es fácil reconocer cada uno, pero a veces la situación puede ser difícil. Hay pacientes que necesitan ser intubados inmediatamente. Por ejemplo, hay pacientes que tienen traumas maxilofaciales tan severos que ya no pueden ventilar. Posiblemente inclusive pueda ser que necesiten una vía aérea quirúrgica. Por otro lado, hay pacientes que todavía están respirando espontáneamente pero están en fallo respiratorio. Está bien el pedir ayuda. Con pocas variaciones en el mundo, usualmente una ambulancia es operada por dos proveedores. Eso no significa que todas las condiciones pueden ser atendidas por dos personas. Inclusive en el hospital hay emergencias que requieren la presencia de al menos otro médico, y/o otros profesionales de la salud (enfermería, terapia respiratoria, etc.) Hay veces que la ayuda tiene que llegar al paciente y hay veces que el paciente llega a la ayuda. Hay limitaciones y hay circunstancias extremas... en ocasiones. Practica el escenario ideal. No es raro ver el instructor de manejo prehospitalario de la vía aérea simulando un escenario catastrófico donde un paciente está en un espacio confinado, con poca luz, poco espacio, difícil de remover del lugar, en una posición incómoda y bajo la lluvia. Si aprendemos de inicio a improvisar, empezamos a degradar el estándar de calidad. Luego comenzamos a improvisar la improvisación, y se sigue degradando aún más el estándar hasta que todo se reduce a simplemente un laringoscopio, un tubo endotraqueal y fuerza bruta. Debemos comenzar a pensar en el escenario ideal. El escenario ideal es la forma correcta de hacer el procedimiento bajo las circunstancias ideales. Por ejemplo, una intubación endotraqueal normal, común y corriente puede tomar 15-20 minutos desde que comienza la intubación hasta que se asegura el tubo. Hay demasiadas cosas que hacer para evitar que el paciente se deteriore por culpa de la intubación. Las recomendaciones buscan dos cosas: la seguridad del paciente y la mayor posibilidad de éxito. Si usted empieza a desviarse del "escenario ideal", comienza a aumentar la posibilidad de que algo malo le suceda al paciente. Cuando el escenario ideal no es posible, debemos pensar que "debemos hacerlo lo más ideal posible", y eso a veces puede tomar tiempo... y está bien que tome tiempo porque esa es la forma correcta de hacerlo cuando el paciente así lo necesita. "Yo trabajo en el hospital, esto no me aplica a mi." El paciente intrahospitalario tiene el beneficio teórico de que puede ser atendido por múltiples expertos. Algunos pacientes son intubados en sala de operaciones, bajo condiciones ideales, e inclusive utilizando recursos que se encuentran comúnmente en la calle (por ejemplo, fibra óptica). Aunque esto es cierto, ¡no siempre es así! Todos sabemos que el manejo de un paciente a las 10:00 am no es el mismo que a las 10:00 pm en muchos sitios. En muchos hospitales, hay menos recursos disponibles fuera de horas laborables. Esto tiene implicaciones serias ya que la definición de una "vía aérea fallida" es usualmente tres intentos por el operador más experimentado disponible. Lamentablemente a veces el operador disponible no necesariamente sería el mejor si hubiesen otros recursos disponibles. Los hospitales pequeños, que tienen pocos recursos, En el extremo opuesto del nivel de preparación, existen muchos hospitales (usualmente centros académicos) que tienen la misma capacidad de respuesta a las 2:00 am que a las 2:00 pm. Debemos prepararnos siempre para lo que va a ocurrir cuando un paciente necesita una vía aérea un sábado a las 2:00 am. Si pensamos en el peor escenario, lo demás es más fácil. Existen hospitales que, en determinado momento, tienen pocos recursos para atender lo que ciertamente es un paciente crítico. Entonces, quizás muchos proveedores de atención intrahospitalaria también pueden beneficiarse de repasar este documento. La prioridad es el paciente, no el procedimiento El objetivo del manejo prehospitalario de la vía aérea no es realizar un procedimiento, sino el resultado final del manejo del paciente. En la Sala de Operaciones comúnmente se intuba al paciente ante la necesidad de realizar un procedimiento. Fuera de la Sala de Operaciones se intuba el paciente comúnmente porque no puede proteger su vía aérea o no puede respirar adecuadamente. La frase "la intubación endotraqueal es el estándar de oro en el manejo de la vía aérea" ha hecho que muchos educadores y proveedores se enfoquen en el procedimiento como el objetivo. La intubación endotraqueal puede tener complicaciones adversas. Por ejemplo, el manejo de la inestabilidad hemodinámica y desaturación asociada a la intubación endotraqueal antes, durante y después del procedimiento es tan importante como la laringoscopía misma. El artículo nos invita a pensar en las siguientes preguntas: ¿Cuál destreza de la vía aérea le daría a este paciente la mejor oportunidad de sobrevivencia? Práctica deliberada en el manejo prehospitalario de la vía aérea La NAEMSP recomienda que las prácticas de manejo de la vía aérea estén basadas en práctica deliberada. ¿Qué es práctica deliberada? El esfuerzo continuo por ser mejor que ayer. ¿Cuál es el nivel de competencia deseado? Según el artículo, la toma de decisión de qué situaciones requieren manejo de la vía aérea es un diferenciador clave entre una competencia minima versus un dominio de la competencia. Los autores detallan que, aunque no existe un camino específico definitivo para lograr el dominio, el desarrollo de niveles más avanzados de competencia en el manejo completo de la vía aérea "requiere un esfuerzo consciente no solamente de las destrezas, sino de los modelos mentales incrementalmente más sofisticados que incorporan las complejidades de la fisiopatología, dinámicas de equipos y la evidencia, para permitir tomas de decisiones de orden superior. Idealmente la educación inicial debe lograr más que el desarrollo de las competencias mínimas." Competencia mínima versus dominio de la competencia Desde el punto de vista de educación, el problema no es identificar los criterios usar técnicas avanzadas. El verdadero reto es validar que la persona es competente. Cuando hablamos del nivel de competencia, no nos referimos al nivel de la destreza en términos de soporte vital básico o avanzado. Se refiere al grado de proficiencia a la hora de ejecutar la destreza. Se trata de practicar no solamente hasta que se logra hacer bien, sino hasta que se es consistentemente efectivo en diversos tipos de escenarios de forma segura para el paciente. Nuevamente, cuál es el nivel de destreza necesario? Que pueda hacerlo efectivamente y seguramente. El artículo señala que el uso de simuladores de la vía aérea y maniquís de baja fidelidad solamente permiten lograr un dominio de las competencias de soporte vital básico solamente. Las destrezas de soporte vital avanzado tienen otros elementos que requieren que el alumno reciba retroalimentación no solamente en un entorno de alta fidelidad, sino también de laboratorios con cadáveres y pacientes reales. Según el artículo, la realidad es que la mayoría de los sistemas que proveen educación van a tener acceso a poder lograr un dominio de la competencia de destrezas básicas. Sin acceso consistente a esas otras oportunidades más complejas antes mencionadas, es muy difícil esperar que un sistema pueda probar que ha logrado la competencia necesaria (dominio de la competencia) para realizar intervenciones que sean potencialmente peligrosas para el paciente. Destrezas básicas son destrezas fundamentales El objetivo es que el paciente tenga una vía aérea patente y esté ventilando. Cómo usted lo logra dependerá de las circunstancias de los proveedores, el lugar, y el paciente. Entonces, es importante enfocarse en aquellas destrezas que sí podemos lograr un nivel de dominio: las destrezas básicas. Toma de decisiones en el manejo prehospitalario de la vía aérea El pensar cómo es que tomamos las decisiones que tomamos. El artículo habla de la importancia de la "metacognición", o el "pensar sobre lo que pensamos". El por qué se tomó la decisión que se tomó quizás es más importante que resumir si una decisión fue correcta o no. El analizar el por qué permite entender mejor cuándo tomar la misma decisión, o cuándo no. Credencialización La credencialización es el proceso del patrono de determinar que una persona está lista para realizar un procedimiento específico. La credencialización es un proceso independiente del licenciamiento. Una persona puede tener una licencia en su jurisdicción de trabajo, pero no estar credencializado en un lugar de empleo. El director médico es la persona responsable dentro del servicio de emergencias médicas de credencializar al personal. La credencialización no es simplemente una charla, sino la validación (o revalidación de las destrezas). El proceso de credencialización no es un solo evento al principio, sino un proceso continuo. En adición, debe incluir todos los aspectos psicomotores, cognitivos y afectivos que se han descrito anteriormente. En otras palabras, la credencialización no puede ser solamente una charla y no puede ser solamente realizar una (o varias) intubaciones en un maniquí. Es importante señalar que la credencialización no tiene que ser solamente para destrezas de soporte vital avanzado. Si la vida del paciente depende de que el proveedor pueda tener un dominio absoluto de las destrezas cognitivas, afectivas y psicomotoras del manejo básico de la vía aérea, es importante que la simulación y credencialización esté dirigida a ese nivel básico también. Evolución de los adiestramientos Los adiestramientos de manejo (¿avanzado?) de la vía aérea tienen que evolucionar también. El objetivo del adiestramiento inicial debe ser lograr una competencia mínima. Sin embargo, el objetivo final no puede ser quedarse ahí solamente. El objetivo tiene que ser lograr el dominio de la competencia (al nivel que se quiera llegar) para entonces lograr la credencialización. Los adiestramientos tienen que evolucionar. Yo diría que muchos de los adiestramientos que tomamos están basados en la mejor evidencia disponible y así lo reflejan. Sin embargo, somos nosotros los instructores los que tenemos que actualizar los libretos que cada uno tenemos cuando hablamos de estos temas. No es raro todavía ver clases de Soporte Vital Cardiovascular Avanzado (ACLS) enfatizando la intubación endotraqueal cuando desde hace mucho estamos hablando de que esto no necesariamente debe ser el caso del manejo de la vía aérea en el paro cardiaco. Conclusión El manejo de la vía aérea es una de las destrezas fundamentales y definitorias de la resucitación de un paciente. Para lograr ser seguros y efectivos en estas destrezas, tenemos que incorporar muchos otros elementos en el proceso continuo del desarrollo de los conocimientos y destrezas.

How can plants adapt to a changing climate and strange volcanic soils. By tracking the divergent evolution of Thale Cress, scientists can track the genetic changes needed to thrive in weird soil. Volcanic soil can have benefits along with risks, but how can plants adapt quickly to odd soil types? How did plants learn to thrive on a volcanic island, Pico de Fogo. What can a long running study tell us about plants adapting to a changing climate. Extra CO2 is good for plants...to up to a point. For plants in wetlands its a race between rising sea levels and extra CO2.  Emmanuel Tergemina, Ahmed F.

CAR T cells have been engineered to treat everything from cancer to scarring in the heart. However, one major barrier to wide-spread therapy is the fact that T cells have to be removed from the patient, engineered, and then putting them back in the patient. But what if we could create a drug that makes CAR T cells inside a patient's own body? This type of one-size-fits-all approach could be much more efficient. On this episode of Beyond the Abstract, Derek and Dan discuss how scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have successfully created CAR T cells to treat scarring in the heart with the simple injection of a drug. Using state-of-the-art gene therapy, they are able to temporarily transform T cells into soldiers to fight scarring in the heart. Rurik et al. CAR T cells produced in vivo to treat cardiac injury.

Listen to a blog summary of a trending research paper published in Volume 13, entitled, “NF-κB over-activation portends improved outcomes in HPV-associated head and neck cancer.” ______________________________ Over the last 10 years in the United States, the human papillomavirus (HPV) has caused more head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) than uterine cervical cancers. Primarily caused either by exposure to HPV or to ethanol or tobacco, HNSCC is a disease that impairs fundamental tissues involved in respiration, speech and digestion. HPV-positive and -negative HNSCC have contrasting clinical, epidemiological and histological features. “A major discovery in the recent past is that HPV associated HNSCC have improved survival compared to tobacco associated tumors.” Therefore, treating HNSCC in accordance with HPV status is crucial for avoiding unnecessarily harsh therapeutic side effects in HPV+ HNSCC patients. However, while oncologic outcomes among patients with HPV+ HNSCC are generally favorable, approximately 30% experience a more aggressive disease course and recurrence. Coupled with increasing incidence worldwide, this highlights a growing need for the development of effective clinical stratification tools to accurately identify HPV+ HNSCC patients who have a good or poor prognosis. In a new study, researchers—from Columbia University, University of Illinois Cancer Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Yale School of Medicine—developed a new tool aimed at better classifying HPV+ HNSCC patients with good or poor prognosis in an effort to personalize treatment and improve patient outcomes. Their trending research paper was published in Oncotarget on May 24, 2022, and entitled, “NF-κB over-activation portends improved outcomes in HPV-associated head and neck cancer.” “To improve on genomic classification, we designed this study to provide a foundation for development of NF-κB related, RNA based classification strategies to better identify HPV+ HNSCC patients with good or poor prognosis that could potentially aid in future efforts towards treatment personalization.” Full blog - https://www.oncotarget.org/2022/05/26/new-tool-uses-nf-%ce%bab-activity-to-classify-hpv-head-and-neck-cancer/ DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28232 Correspondence to - Wendell G.

The pandemic has been a global issue, which has benefitted from the coming together of industry, pharma, academia, non-governmental and governmental support. What the pandemic has also brought into sharp focus is the global imbalance access to healthcare and health inequity between the Global North and Global South. For this important conversation, we are joined by Professor Linda-Gail Bekker, Chief Operating Officer of the Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation about the current situation with HIV and TB in Africa, and the impact COVID-19 has had on patients already suffering from communicable diseases. So, what can we do? Lenias Hwenda, founder and CEO of Medicines for Africa, explains the additional problems of access to medicines and potential solutions for global vaccine inequity, working to make medicines as inexpensive as possible, and improving the supply chain.

BUFFALO, NY- May 25, 2022 – A new research paper was published in Oncotarget, entitled, “NF-κB over-activation portends improved outcomes in HPV-associated head and neck cancer.” Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a devastating disease that impairs fundamental tissues involved in respiration, phonation and digestion. HNSCC is primarily caused by exposure to either ethanol and tobacco or the human papillomavirus (HPV). Among patients with HPV+ HNSCC, there is a growing clinical demand to develop robust stratification tools to accurately identify patients with good or poor prognosis. “While oncologic outcomes for HPV+ HNSCC are generally favorable, treatment paradigms developed for HPV-negative disease burden many survivors of HPV+ HNSCC with lifelong debilitating treatment-associated side effects [10]. On the other hand, ~30% of HPV+ HNSCC patients exhibit a more aggressive disease course and suffer recurrence [11, 12].” Somatic mutations or deletions in TRAF3 or CYLD identified a subset of HPV+ HNSCC associated with improved outcome. A cross talk between canonical and non-canonical NF-κB signaling suggests that TRAF3 and CYLD affect both NF-κB pathways. “Herein, we demonstrate that an RNA-based classifier trained on tumors harboring these mutations may improve prognostic classification (Figure 3A, 3B, Figure 4B and Supplementary Figure 1).” To improve on genomic classification, researchers designed the current study to provide a foundation for development of NF-κB related, RNA based classification strategies to better identify HPV+ HNSCC patients with good or poor prognosis that could potentially aid in future efforts towards treatment personalization. “This report validates and expands on our findings that significant expression changes related to NF-κB activity occur in the subset of HPV+ HNSCC tumors marked by TRAF3 or CYLD mutations. We are planning future studies investigating the importance of ‘long-tail' mutations in the NF-κB pathway which might further illuminate the origins of NF-κB dysregulation in HPV+ HNSCC.” “Given that methods to identify patients for deintensified therapy are imperfect, our improved classifiers may serve as prognostic biomarker to help clinicians with therapeutic decisions.” DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28232 Correspondence to: Wendell G.

BUFFALO, NY- May 19, 2022 – A new research paper was published in Volume 13 of Oncotarget, entitled, “CancerOmicsNet: a multi-omics network-based approach to anti-cancer drug profiling.” Researchers from Louisiana State University developed CancerOmicsNet—a graph neural network model to predict the growth rate of a cancer cell line after drug treatment. “CancerOmicsNet is more advanced than many deep learning techniques operating in the Euclidean space [47], because it extracts knowledge directly from biological networks providing a more adequate representation of complex diseases such as cancer.” CancerOmicsNet integrates multiple heterogeneous data, such as biological networks, genomics, inhibitor profiling, and gene-disease associations, into a unified graph structure. This novel method utilizes compact, cancer-specific networks constructed from protein-protein interactions, differential gene expression, disease-gene association, and drug inhibition data. “In order to evaluate the performance of CancerOmicsNet, we conducted a cross-validation at the tissue level by removing from model training all cell lines originating from a particular tissue and then analyzing the accuracy for these cell lines.” In this study, the researchers carefully evaluated the generalizability of CancerOmicsNet in a series of cross-validation benchmarks against different tumor tissues. Encouragingly, the cross-validated accuracy of CancerOmicsNet at the tissue level was significantly higher than those measured for other approaches on the same data. “The performance of CancerOmicsNet, properly cross-validated at the tissue level, is 0.83 in terms of the area under the receiver operating characteristics, which is notably higher than those measured for other approaches.” The researchers specify that the applicability of CancerOmicsNet is presently limited to kinase inhibitors, while alternative methods are applicable to other classes of therapeutics as well. “Overall, CancerOmicsNet offers a high performance and the desired generalizability in the prediction of the effect of kinase-targeted therapies on the cancer cell growth.” DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28234 Correspondence to: Michal Brylinski – Email: michal@brylinski.org Keywords: cancer growth rate, kinase inhibitors, differential gene expression, gene-disease association, cancer-specific networks About Oncotarget Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Blueberries can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women with high blood pressure Colorado State University, May 19 2022 Consuming blueberries can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women with high blood pressure, according to new research by Colorado State University faculty member Sarah Ardanuy Johnson. Consumption of 22 grams of freeze dried blueberry powder (equivalent to about 1 cup of fresh blueberries) mixed with water taken daily for 12 weeks improved the function of the inner lining of blood vessels (called the endothelium), according to preliminary findings of a study. They performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm clinical trial in 43 estrogen-deficient postmenopausal women aged 45-65 years with elevated blood pressure or stage 1-hypertension. Johnson's research team used freeze-dried blueberries to retain the polyphenols as much as possible, and to allow for the study to be double-blind, meaning that neither the investigators nor the study participants knew whether they were getting the treatment (blueberry) or placebo.  Johnson said the team observed increases in blood metabolites that are products of metabolism of anthocyanins (polyphenols found in blueberries that give them their blue color) and metabolism of polyphenols by the gut microbiome.  Diet plays key role in ADHD symptoms in children Ohio State University, May 20, 2022 Here's a good reason for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to eat their fruits and vegetables: It may help reduce inattention issues, a new study suggests. Results showed that kids who consumed more fruits and vegetables showed less severe symptoms of inattention, said Irene Hatsu, associate professor of human nutrition at The Ohio State University. The study that evaluated the effectiveness of the supplement showed that children who took the micronutrients were three times as likely to show significant improvement in their ADHD and emotional dysregulation symptoms than those who took a placebo.  Higher dose of melatonin improved sleep in older adults Harvard University, May 19, 2022 In a small study of healthy adults aged 55 and older, 5 mg of melatonin increased total sleep time compared to a placebo. Researchers conducted the study in 24 healthy, older adults to evaluate whether a high-doseor a low-dose melatonin supplement could improve sleep. The team found that the higher dose had a significant impact, increasing total sleep time compared to placebo by more than 15 minutes for nighttime sleep and by half an hour for daytime sleep. Results are published in the Journal of Pineal Research.  The body naturally produces the hormone melatonin, which helps regulate a person's sleep-wake cycle with night and day. Melatonin levels peak at night. But among older people, levels of the hormone are often lower. The team found that the low dose of melatonin did not lead to a statistically significant change in overall sleep time and that the changes that were seen were when sleep was scheduled during the biological day. Participants taking the 5 mg dose had a significant increase in total sleep time and sleep efficiency regardless of whether sleep was scheduled during the day or night. Sound Waves Boost Older Adult's Memory, Deep Sleep Northwestern University, May 14, 2022 Gentle sound stimulation—such as the rush of a waterfall—synchronized to the rhythm of brain waves significantly enhanced deep sleep in older adults and improved their ability to recall words. This is according to a Northwestern Medicine study. Deep sleep is critical for memory consolidation. But beginning in middle age, deep sleep decreases substantially, which scientists believe contributes to memory loss in aging. The sound stimulation significantly enhanced deep sleep in participants and their scores on a memory test. The degree of slow wave sleep enhancement was related to the degree of memory improvement, suggesting slow wave sleep remains important for memory, even in old age. Mulberry extract may ‘activate' brown fat, help treat obesity Chinese Academy of Sciences, May 9, 2022 Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences say obesity can be treated by using a natural compound in mulberries that “activates” brown fat.The compound, known as rutin, was found to have weight loss properties in a study published in The FASEB Journal. Researchers say this may not only be able to help treat obesity, but related diseases associated with excessive weight gain.”The beneficial effects of rutin on BAT-mediated metabolic improvement have evoked a substantial interest in the potential treatment for obesity and its related diseases, such as diabetes,” researcher Wan-Zhu Jin said in a press release. During the experiment, supplemental rutin was added to the drinking water of both groups. Researchers observed improved glucose homeostasis in both cohorts. The investigators concluded the rutin improved metabolic functions in the mice. Scientists are confident similar remedies can be used to treat obesity in humans. Psychedelic drugs promote neural plasticity in rats and flies University of California Davis, May 12, 2022  Psychedelic drugs may have mind-altering powers in the physical sense, too. A new study, published in the journal Cell Reports, found psychedelics, specifically DOI, DMT, and LSD, can change brain cells in rats and flies, making neurons more likely to branch out and connect with one another. The work supports the theory that psychedelics could help to fight depression, anxiety, addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder. “These are some of the most powerful compounds known to affect brain function, it's very obvious to me that we should understand how they work,” says senior author David E. Olson, assistant professor at the University of California, Davis. The idea that depression stems from imbalanced brain chemistry remains popular, but recent studies have revealed evidence that depression manifests as structural changes in brain circuits or atrophy in parts of the brain. This doesn't mean neurons die off during depression, but that neurites retract. Neurites are the sections—either axons or dendrites—of a neuron that project out to bridge the gap between two neurons at the synapse to facilitate communication. “One of the hallmarks of depression is that the neurites in the prefrontal cortex—a key brain region that regulates emotion, mood, and anxiety—those neurites tend to shrivel up,” says Olson. These brain changes also appear in cases of anxiety, addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder. In their paper, Olson and colleagues tested psychedelics and showed some psychedelics tested, including LSD, proved to be more potent and efficacious in promoting neurite growth. Videos : 1. Whoa!
