Go west, young bunting: recent climate change drives rapid movement of a Great Plains hybrid zone.

Describing how hybrid zones respond to anthropogenic influence can illuminate how the environment regulates both species distributions and reproductive isolation between species. In this study, we analyzed specimens collected from the Passerina cyanea×P. amoena hybrid zone between 2004 and 2007 and between 2019 and 2021 to explore changes in genetic structure over time.

Be a Lighthouse for Your Medical Students: How to Help Them Navigate During Changing Times to a Successful Match.

The transition between medical school and residency is a complex, multifaceted process that is commonly a time of stress and uncertainty for medical students. Occupying most of a student's final year of medical school, the residency application includes a primary Electronic Residency Application Service application, a variable number of program-specific secondary applications, and interviews. The application process culminates with The Match.

Sequential and Comparative Evaluation of Pain Treatment Effectiveness Response (SCEPTER), a pragmatic trial for conservative chronic low back pain treatment.

Background: Chronic low back pain (cLBP) is a common and highly disabling problem world-wide. Although many treatment options exist, it is unclear how to best sequence the multitude of care options to provide the greatest benefit to patients.

Methods: The Sequential and Comparative Evaluation of Pain Treatment Effectiveness Response (SCEPTER) trial uses a pragmatic, randomized, stepped design.

The impact and public health response of chiropractors to the COVID-19 pandemic: a survey across four continents.

Background: The unprecedented impact of COVID-19 on healthcare professionals has implications for healthcare delivery, including the public health guidance provided to patients. This study aims to assess the response and impact of COVID-19 on chiropractors internationally, and examines the public health response of chiropractors to the COVID-19 pandemic practising under a musculoskeletal spine-care versus subluxation-based care paradigm.

Methods: A survey was distributed to chiropractors in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Hong Kong, United Kingdom and United States (Oct.

Estimating hybridization in the wild using citizen science data: A path forward.

Genomic evidence of introgression in natural populations has reinvigorated the study of hybridization in recent years. Still, it is largely unknown how frequently individual organisms mate across species lines. Recently, Justyn et al.

Individual Barriers to Implementation of Whole Health for Pain Management Among Veterans.

This commentary addresses individual barriers to implementation of a Whole Health approach to pain management that included a group pain education session and individual therapy. The authors identify individual barriers to veteran participation in the Whole Health program and also make recommendations for future programs. One of the most intriguing identified barriers to participation was the concern about the veteran's readiness for change that would facilitate active engagement in the program.

Yoga vs Stretching in Veterans With Chronic Lower Back Pain and the Role of Mindfulness: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of recruiting, randomizing, enrolling, and collecting outcome data on veteran patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) who undergo an 8-week, active exercise class with mindfulness (yoga class) and without (stretching class).

Methods: United States veterans with CLBP based on inclusion/exclusion criteria were randomized to 1 of 2 groups. The study design was a pilot randomized controlled trial.
