From Sheep to Sling: Pediatric Injuries Due to Rodeo Mutton Bustin'.

Background: Mutton Bustin' was developed as a safer alternative to rough stock rodeo events such as bull riding to allow kids to participate in the rodeo. Children hold on to the bareback of a running sheep until they fall, competing to see who can ride the longest. While reports of injuries due to other rodeo events are well described in the literature, there are no reports of Mutton Bustin'-associated injuries.

Highly Conductive Boron-Containing Electrolytes by Integrating Modeling and Experiments.

A highly conducting polymer electrolyte was developed, where the structure included molecular elements guided by computational modeling results. The electrolyte comprises acidic boron and basic oxygen atoms within the molecular structure. Because of the presence of the boron and oxygen atoms within the structure, it interacts with the anion and cation of the dissolved salt and functions as an ion separator by increasing the bond length between the anion and cation.

Association of experienced stigma in healthcare settings with health outcomes among Black women living with HIV: Mediating roles of internalized stigma, anticipated stigma, and trust in HIV care.

Background: Black women living with HIV (WLHIV) often have suboptimal ART adherence due to a multitude of social and structural barriers, including HIV-related stigma. Trust in healthcare providers plays a significant role in adhering to ART and is likely lower among Black WLHIV compared to their White counterparts. This study examined the relationship between experienced stigma in healthcare settings and ART adherence and viral suppression through anticipated stigma in healthcare settings, internalized stigma, and medical mistrust.

Centering historically minoritized populations to design effective messages about an evidence-based policy to advance social equity.

Researchers have raised concerns that messages describing racial disparities in social outcomes can reduce or polarize support for public policies to address inequality. We questioned this assumption by testing the impact of carefully crafted messages about child tax credit (CTC) expansion. We conducted two randomized message trials, study 1 using Prolific's nonprobability panel ( = 1,402) and study 2 using SSRS's Opinion Panel, a web-based probability sample of US adults ( = 4,483).

Navigating Communication in Racially Concordant Care: Considerations for Medical Education.

Background And Objectives: Black/African American medical professionals and students engage in patient-centered communication in ways that are not yet described in medical education literature. The purpose of this paper is to explore the ways in which Black/African American attending physicians, residents, and medical students enact patient-centered communication while interacting with their Black/African American patients.

Methods: Forty-one Black/African American attending physicians, residents, and medical students were recruited through a snowball sample of the authors' personal and professional networks.
