Gene model for the ortholog of in .

Gene model for the ortholog of Downstream of raf1 ( ) in the May 2011 (Broad dper_caf1/DperCAF1) Genome Assembly (GenBank Accession: GCA_000005195.1 ) of . This ortholog was characterized as part of a developing dataset to study the evolution of the Insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway (IIS) across the genus using the Genomics Education Partnership gene annotation protocol for Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences.

Development and initiation of a preceptor program to improve midwifery and nursing clinical education in sub-saharan Africa: protocol for a mixed methods study.

Background: Expanding the quality and quantity of midwifery and nursing clinical preceptors is a critical need in many sub-Saharan educational settings to strengthen students' clinical learning outcomes, and ultimately to improve maternal and child mortality. Therefore, this study protocol was developed to establish a year-long, four step, precepting program to (1) improve partnership building and program development (2) provide an evidence-based course to expand competency and confidence in precepting students (3) select preceptors to become train the trainers and (4) secure accreditation for the program, ultimately to engage and support cohorts of preceptors and continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the program over five years.

Methods: Qualitative and quantitative approaches will be used including evaluation of preceptors, faculty and leadership involved with the program, as well as students taught by preceptors.

Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy.

Purpose Of Review: The incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), especially preeclampsia has increased significantly over the last two decades. Patients with these disorders often report cerebral and visual symptoms, which are listed as potential diagnosis criteria for preeclampsia, if accompanied by new-onset hypertension. Recent studies indicate that cerebral complications in HDP patients are associated with a compromised blood-brain barrier (BBB).

Leveraging tele-mentoring and remote learning to strengthen the emergency care capacity of health workers in Uganda.

Background: A robust emergency care system is a cost-effective method of reducing preventable death and disability, especially in low-and middle-income countries. To scale emergency care expertise across the country, the Uganda Ministry of Health and Seed Global Health established the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) ECHO program. We describe the process of establishing the program in a resource-limited setting, best practices, and lessons learned in Uganda.

A Sierra Leone 2021 Midwifery Clinical Training Needs Assessment: A Call to Action to Augment Clinical Precepting.

Objective: Sierra Leone has one of the highest maternal mortality and infant mortality rates globally. We share findings from a Midwifery Clinical Training Needs Assessment, conducted in 2021 as a collaboration between the Government of Sierra Leone and Seed Global Health. The assessment identified existing needs and gaps in midwifery clinical training at health facilities in Sierra Leone from various stakeholders' perspectives.
