(1) Background: Medical graduates who have undertaken longitudinal rural training have consistently been found to be more likely to become rural doctors and work in primary care settings. A limitation of such findings is the heterogeneous nature of rural medical education and contested views of what constitutes 'rurality', especially as it is often reported as a binary concept (rural compared to metropolitan). To address the identified gaps in workforce outcomes for rural medical training and to demonstrate accountability to the communities we serve, we investigated whether Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (LIC) graduates are practicing in communities with similar rural classification to those where they trained.

Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is an ultra-rare glomerulonephritis caused by dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway. C3G has an estimated incidence of 1-3 cases per million people in the United States. Diagnosing C3G based solely on clinical and laboratory features is challenging because it mimics several other glomerular diseases; therefore, diagnosis requires a kidney biopsy.

In this study, we employed electrochemical-mass spectrometry (EC-MS) to elucidate the role of halide anions in electrochemical CO and CO reduction. We found that the undesired hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was significantly suppressed by the anion used. Specifically, the rates of H production decreased in the order KF > KCl > KI, meaning that I most strongly suppressed HER.

This article reports the development of CuO|CuBiO photocathodes stabilized by protective layers of TiO, MgO, or NiO, with Pt or MoS nanoparticles serving as co-catalysts to facilitate H evolution. Most notably, this work demonstrates the first application of MgO as a protection/passivation layer for photocathodes in a water-splitting cell. All configurations of photocathodes were studied structurally, morphologically, and photoelectrochemically revealing that CuO|CuBiO|MgO|Pt photocathodes achieve the highest stable photocurrent densities of -200 μA cm for over 3 hours with a Faradaic efficiency of ∼90%.
