A geriatric game to strengthen older adult healthcare delivery and outcomes.

Background: Serious games enhance learner engagement and knowledge, yet few medical education games target older adults' healthcare. Addressing this gap, we developed Geri-POP (Geriatrics Population Health), focusing on the Age-Friendly Health System (AFHS) framework and Geriatric 4Ms.

Methods: Geri-POP, a healthcare game is aimed at educating health profession learners about the AFHS framework.

A New Interprofessional Community-Service Learning Program, HATS (Health Ambassador Teams for Seniors) to Improve Older Adults Attitudes about Telehealth and Functionality.

Senior population health often is underrepresented in curricula for medical and allied health students. Furthermore, entrenched and dense curricular schedules preclude interprofessional teams from clinical experiences related to senior population health. Community service learning potentially offers the opportunity to engage interprofessional students with a panel of older adults to assess health promotion metrics over time.

Temporal and spatial expression patterns of TUB9, a beta-tubulin gene of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Transgenic plants carrying chimeric genes composed of segments of the 5'-flanking region of the Arabidopsis 9-tubulin gene (TUB9) fused to the coding region of the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene of Escherichia coli were used to investigate the temporal and spatial patterns of TUB9 expression. Chimeric genes that contained at least 800 bp of TUB9 5'-flanking DNA were expressed primarily in floral tissues, with high levels of expression observed in pollen, elongating pollen tubes and ovules. The expression of the reporter genes in ovules ceased at the time of fertilization.

Two beta-tubulin genes, TUB1 and TUB8, of Arabidopsis exhibit largely nonoverlapping patterns of expression.

Chimeric reporter genes were used to investigate the patterns of expression of two beta-tubulin genes, TUB1 and TUB8, in Arabidopsis thaliana. The TUB1 chimeric gene was preferentially expressed in epidermal and cortical cells of primary roots, whereas the TUB8 chimeric gene was preferentially expressed in the endodermal and phloem cells of primary roots and in the vascular tissues of leaves, stems, and flowers of transgenic plants.
