In contrast, the role of the Hv1 voltage-gated proton channel that is required for sustained NOX2 activity is less well characterized. We examined the role of Hv1 in a murine model of blinding corneal infection and found that in contrast to C57BL/6 mice, mice exhibit an impaired ability to kill bacteria and regulate disease severity.

We created this workshop on health equity with a focus on SDoH to help students more effectively communicate with diverse populations.
Methods: Third-year medical students and faculty were provided with class guides, learning objectives, role-play vignettes containing clerkship-specific history and physical exams, schedules, and discussion questions during a 2-hour session centered on SDoH.
