Using the Community Resilience Model and Project ECHO to Build Resiliency in Direct Support Professionals: Protocol for a Longitudinal Survey.

Background: Individuals with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorder (ID/A) sometimes require supportive services from direct support professionals (DSPs). The supportive care provided to individuals with ID/A by DSPs can vary from assistance with daily living activities to navigating society. The COVID-19 pandemic not only exacerbated poor outcomes for individuals with ID/A but also for DSPs, who report experiencing burnout in the aftermath of the pandemic.

Short-Term Outcomes Using a Novel Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Keratotomy Nomogram to Manage Corneal Astigmatism During Phacoemulsification.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of a femtosecond laser assisted astigmatic keratotomy (AK) nomogram (FemtoAK.com) for correction of astigmatism during cataract surgery.

Patients And Methods: Consecutive patients underwent cataract extraction with AKs and insertion of a non-toric intraocular lens.

The Impact of Physical Activity Behavior Change Training for Preprofessional Health Students-A Systematic Review.

Background: Health professionals play a crucial role in promoting physical activity, but the impact of physical activity behavior change training on preprofessional health students is underresearched. This systematic review examined the impact of such training for preprofessional health students.

Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, PsycInfo, and CINAHL up to October 2024.

Impact of Subsequent Fellowship on Urology Chief Resident Case Log Volumes.

Objective: To characterize the impact of subsequent fellowship on the case log experience of trainees throughout their residency and specifically their chief resident year.

Materials And Methods: Urology resident case logs from 2010 to 2022 were obtained from 13 institutions for total residency and chief years. Five categorized index procedures were included for analysis: General Urology; Endourology; Reconstructive Urology; Urologic Oncology; and Pediatric Urology.

Surfactant protein levels and genetic variants as biomarkers for COVID-19 severity in children.

Since its outbreak, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has significantly impacted the pediatric population. Pulmonary surfactant dysfunction has been linked to other respiratory diseases in children and COVID-19 in adults, but its role in COVID-19 severity remains unclear. We hypothesized that elevated surfactant protein (SP) levels and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of SP genes are associated with severe COVID-19 in children.
