Article Synopsis
  • Blood plays a vital role in expeditionary casualty care, with low-titer O whole blood being the preferred universal product, though it is often in short supply.
  • The study estimates the potential impact of type-specific whole blood (TSWB) on blood supply based on historical demand during U.S. military operations in Afghanistan and production data from a specific blood distribution center.
  • Results indicate that adding type A TSWB could boost whole blood production by 11.1% monthly, with TSWB expected to be used in over 20% of transfusion-required military casualties, suggesting that TSWB could significantly enhance blood availability for future needs.

The plasma membrane proton pump is the primary energy transducing, electrogenic ion pump of the plasma membrane in plants and fungi. Compared to its fungal counterpart, the plant plasma membrane proton pump's regulatory C-terminal domain (CTD) contains an additional regulatory segment that links multiple sensory pathways regulating plant cell length through phosphorylation and recruitment of regulatory 14-3-3 proteins. However, a complete structural model of a plant proton pump is lacking.

Calculable physicochemical descriptors are a useful guide to assist compound design in medicinal chemistry. It is well established that controlling size, lipophilicity, hydrogen bonding, flexibility and shape, guided by descriptors that approximate to these properties, can greatly increase the chances of successful drug discovery. Many therapeutic targets and new modalities are incompatible with the optimal ranges of these properties and thus there is much interest in approaches to find oral drug candidates outside of this space.

Background: While relationships and connectedness among organizations have been included in implementation theories, models, and frameworks, the increased attention to health equity in implementation science raises the urgency of understanding the role of relationships external to the implementing organization. This paper addresses this gap through an exploration of the role of external relationships in community-based, equity-focused interventions.

Methods: This study focuses on an equity-focused, community-based COVID-19 vaccination intervention in Arkansas, drawing upon long-term community-engaged relationships among University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the Hispanic and Marshallese Islander communities.

Managing exercise in type 1 diabetes is challenging, in part, because different types of exercises can have diverging effects on glycemia. The aim of this work was to develop a classification model that can classify an exercise event (structured or unstructured) as aerobic, interval, or resistance for the purpose of incorporation into an automated insulin delivery (AID) system. A long short-term memory network model was developed with real-world data from 30-min structured sessions of at-home exercise (aerobic, resistance, or mixed) using triaxial accelerometer, heart rate, and activity duration information.

Recent evidence supports the implementation of massed delivery of disorder-specific treatments in the military service member and veteran population. However, many treatment settings serve patients with a wide range of diagnoses, and often patients present with comorbid conditions. Growing evidence suggests transdiagnostic cognitive behavioral treatments are effective for a wide range of emotional disorders and may reduce barriers to access.
