Infographics: A Novel Approach to Improve Faculty-Preceptor Communication.

Background: Communication between preceptors and faculty and the time to teach have been identified as common barriers for preceptors working with nurse practitioner (NP) students. Despite traditional preceptor orientation strategies in school of nursing NP primary care programs, preceptors continued to express uncertainty and lack of clarity regarding the expectations of the precepted experience.

Method: Data to support this innovation were obtained through preceptor-faculty interactions through surveys, site visits, and focus groups examining the preceptor's experience with precepting.

The HSmacropa Series: Increasing the Chemical Softness of Hmacropa with Sulfur Atoms to Chelate Radiometals [Bi]Bi and [Pb]Pb for Radiopharmaceutical Applications.

The effects of replacing nitrogen with sulfur atoms in the 18-membered macrocycle of the Hmacropa chelator on the binding affinity and stability of "intermediate" (radio)metal [Pb]Pb and [Bi]Bi complexes are investigated. The 1,4,10,13-tetraoxo-7,16-diazacyclooctadecane backbone was replaced with derivatives containing sulfur in the 1,4- or the 1,4,10,13-positions to yield the novel chelators HSmacropa (NOS) and HSmacropa (NOS), respectively. Trends on the Pb- and Bi-complex stability constants, coordination chemistry, radiolabeling, and kinetic inertness were assessed via potentiometric titrations, UV-vis spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

From cyclotrons to chromatography and beyond: a guide to the production and purification of theranostic radiometals.

Recent clinical success with metal-based radiopharmaceuticals has sparked an interest in the potential of these drugs for personalized medicine. Although often overlooked, the success and global impact of nuclear medicine is contingent upon the purity and availability of medical isotopes, commonly referred to as radiometals. For nuclear medicine to reach its true potential and change patient lives, novel production and purification techniques that increase inventory of radiometals are desperately needed.

Effects of weaning and inactivated Lactobacillus helveticus supplementation on dairy calf behavioral and physiological indicators of affective state.

The objectives of this study were to determine if weaning would induce behavioral and physiological indicators of a negative affective state, and if supplementation of inactivated Lactobacillus helveticus (ILH) to dairy calves would reduce those indicators of negative affect during weaning. Male Holstein calves (n = 23) were enrolled in the study on d 1 of life. The calves were housed in individual pens in 1 of 4 rooms for the 42-d study.

High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry for Human Exposomics: Expanding Chemical Space Coverage.

In the modern "omics" era, measurement of the human exposome is a critical missing link between genetic drivers and disease outcomes. High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), routinely used in proteomics and metabolomics, has emerged as a leading technology to broadly profile chemical exposure agents and related biomolecules for accurate mass measurement, high sensitivity, rapid data acquisition, and increased resolution of chemical space. Non-targeted approaches are increasingly accessible, supporting a shift from conventional hypothesis-driven, quantitation-centric targeted analyses toward data-driven, hypothesis-generating chemical exposome-wide profiling.
