Lessons Learned From the Liver About the Undergraduate to Graduate Medical Education Transition.

The burden of cirrhosis and chronic liver disease is growing, yet there is a projected worsening deficit in hepatology providers. As such, cirrhosis and liver disease have been important inclusions within the core curricula of Internal Medicine. Formal assessments of provider preparedness resulting from the curriculum are lacking though.

Using Collective Impact to Examine Direct Service Worker Training and Credentialing in North Carolina: Recommendations for Change.

Older adults and people living with disabilities receive home- and community-based services (HCBS) from approximately 113,000 often under-resourced and inadequately supported direct service workers (e.g., personal care aides, direct support professionals, nurse aides) in North Carolina.

Androgen signaling restricts glutaminolysis to drive sex-specific Th17 metabolism in allergic airway inflammation.

Female individuals have an increased prevalence of many Th17 cell-mediated diseases, including asthma. Androgen signaling decreases Th17 cell-mediated airway inflammation, and Th17 cells rely on glutaminolysis. However, it remains unclear whether androgen receptor (AR) signaling modifies glutamine metabolism to suppress Th17 cell-mediated airway inflammation.

Health Insurance Matters: Insurance Coverage and Health Service Use Among Direct Care Workers in the United States.

Objectives: Direct care workers (DCWs) play a central role in supporting individuals' health and well-being across care settings, yet may face barriers to accessing health care themselves, particularly because of high rates of uninsurance.

Design: An observational study using pooled National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data from 2014 to 2018.

Setting And Participants: The sample included survey respondents employed as direct care workers (DCWs), including hospital aides, home care workers, and nursing and residential care aides.
