Sad-fishing: Understanding a maladaptive social media behavior in college students.

We investigated psychological factors that might predispose individuals to sad-fish or exaggerate their emotional state online to generate sympathy. : Participants ( = 347) were collegiate social media users from a large university in the Southcentral United States. Participants completed an anonymous online survey and were categorized as sad-fishers or non-sad-fishers.

Optimizing care coordination to address social determinants of health needs for dual-use veterans.

Background: Veterans increasingly utilize both the Veteran's Health Administration (VA) and non-VA hospitals (dual-users). Dual-users are at increased risk of fragmented care and adverse outcomes and often do not receive necessary follow-up care addressing social determinants of health (SDOH). We developed a Veteran-informed social worker-led Advanced Care Coordination (ACC) program to decrease fragmented care and provide longitudinal care coordination addressing SDOH for dual-users accessing non-VA emergency departments (EDs) in two communities.

Lenvatinib Plus Anti-PD-1 Combination Therapy for Advanced Cancers: Defining Mechanisms of Resistance in an Inducible Transgenic Model of Thyroid Cancer.

Combination therapy with lenvatinib plus programmed death-1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint blockades (ICBs) is under investigation in many solid tumors, including thyroid cancer. Lenvatinib is known to reduce angiogenesis and may overturn the immunosuppressive effects of vascular endothelial growth factor in the tumor microenvironment. Previous studies investigating the effects of VEGF receptor inhibition on the immune response were performed in rapidly growing tumor models where immune equilibrium is not established before treatment.

An End-of-Life Communication Performance Rubric: Reliability Assessment.

Nurse educators still struggle with teaching and assessing end-of-life communication skills. Many resources are available to assist in teaching end-of-life communication, but few tools exist to assess performance learning outcomes. Behavior evaluation tools must be user-friendly and provide beneficial student feedback.

Training registered nurses to conduct pre-implementation assessment to inform program scale-up: an example from the rural Transitions Nurse Program.

Objectives: Adapting evidence-based practices to local settings is critical for successful implementation and dissemination. A pre-implementation assessment evaluates local context to inform implementation, but there is little published guidance for clinician-implementers. The rural Transitions Nurse Program (TNP) is a care coordination intervention that facilitates care transitions for rural veterans.
