Facilitator development for pre-registration health professions simulation: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: The growing demand for health professional education intensifies the need for learning innovations such as simulation: facilitating predictable, realistic, experiential learning that prepares students for practice. To achieve this, facilitators must provide pedagogically sound, psychologically safe simulation. High-quality simulation enhances students' self-efficacy, critical thinking, and clinical reasoning.

Ref-1 is overexpressed in neovascular eye disease and targetable with a novel inhibitor.

Reduction-oxidation factor-1 or apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (Ref-1/APE1) is a crucial redox-sensitive activator of transcription factors such as NF-κB, HIF-1α, STAT-3 and others. It could contribute to key features of ocular neovascularization including inflammation and angiogenesis; these underlie diseases like neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). We previously revealed a role for Ref-1 in the growth of ocular endothelial cells and in choroidal neovascularization (CNV).

Gehyra Geckos Prioritize Warm Over Humid Environments.

Maintaining stable hydric and thermal states are dual challenges for reptiles that inhabit terrestrial environments with variable conditions across time and space. Under some conditions, reptiles face a conundrum where both physiological parameters cannot be simultaneously maintained at preferred levels by behavioral or physiological means. Prioritization of behavioral regulation of hydric or thermal state, and at which point this prioritization changes, was tested for nine species of congeneric tropical geckos by assessing their use of microhabitats with distinct thermal and hydric conditions in a controlled environment.

Rationalizing mAb Candidate Screening Using a Single Holistic Developability Parameter.

A framework for the rational selection of a minimal suite of nondegenerate developability assays (DAs) that maximize insight into candidate developability or storage stability is lacking. To address this, we subjected nine formulation:mAbs to 12 mechanistically distinct DAs together with measurement of their accelerated and long-term storage stability. We show that it is possible to identify a reduced set of key variables from this suite of DAs by using orthogonal statistical methods.

Adaptation of ACMG/AMP guidelines for clinical classification of variants in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension resolves variants of unclear pathogenicity in ClinVar.

Purpose: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease that can be caused by pathogenic variants, most frequently in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 ( ) gene. We formed a ClinGen variant curation expert panel to devise guidelines for the clinical interpretation of variants identified in PAH patients.

Methods: The general ACMG/AMP variant classification criteria were refined for PAH and adapted to following ClinGen procedures.
