Assessing the impact of the iPeer2Peer program for adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a mixed-methods randomized controlled trial.

Background: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a chronic pediatric illness, whereby youth experience physical, emotional and psychosocial challenges that result in reduced health related quality of life (HRQL). Peer mentoring has been shown to improve disease self-management in adults with chronic conditions, with mixed results in younger populations. Building on our pilot work - which supported the feasibility and initial effectiveness of the iPeer2Peer program - the objective of this study was to assess the clinical effectiveness of the program in youth with JIA through a waitlist randomized controlled trial.

Nonverbal behavior in telehealth visits: A narrative review.

Objectives: To synthesize findings from research examining nonverbal behavior (NVB) in telehealth. Use of telehealth has increased substantially in recent years-thus, it is critical to identify nonverbal strategies that facilitate positive patient-provider communication in this context.

Methods: Four peer-reviewed databases were searched: PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and EMBASE.

Challenges of Motherhood for Anesthesiologists: A Scoping Review.

Despite advancements in gender representation, female anesthesiologists continue to encounter challenges in career advancement that may be further impacted by motherhood. This scoping review examines personal and systemic barriers and facilitators to career advancement for anesthesiologists facing infertility, pregnancy, and childcare. The review identified 22 relevant studies across five themes: the timing of pregnancy and parental leave, breastfeeding and lactation needs, childcare and gender norms, job reentry and career advancement opportunities, and work-life balance and physician well-being.

Reassessing the role and lifetime of Q in the energy transfer dynamics of chlorophyll .

Chlorophylls are photoactive molecular building blocks essential to most photosynthetic systems. They have comparatively simple optical spectra defined by states with near-orthogonal transition dipole moments, referred to as B and B in the blue/green spectral region, and Q and Q in the red. Underlying these spectra is a surprisingly complex electronic structure, where strong electronic-vibrational interactions are crucial to the description of state characters.

Evaluating renal disease in pediatric-onset anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis: disease course, outcomes, and predictors of outcome.

Objectives: We aimed to study the disease course, outcomes, and predictors of outcome in pediatric-onset anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) affecting the kidneys.

Methods: Patients eligible for this study had a diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), or ANCA positive pauci-immune glomerulonephritis, were ≤ 18 years at diagnosis, had renal disease defined by biopsy or dialysis dependence, and had clinical data at diagnosis and either 12- or 24-months. Ambispective data from the ARChiVE/PedVas Registry was used.
