Objective: To evaluate content validity (CV) and interrater reliability (IRR) of an acuity scoring tool developed for the couplet care/postpartum/nursery patient population and to determine if there was agreement between supervisor or director scoring and staff scoring.
Design: A scoring tool to assess the acuity of the couplet care/postpartum/nursery patients was developed.
Setting: Two hospitals: one Level 2 hospital, one Level 3 hospital.
Background: Lack of transgender health education among health professional education programs is a limitation to providing gender-affirming care. Educational interventions have advanced in the past decade using a variety of pedagogical approaches. Although evidence supports that educational interventions can significantly improve student knowledge, comfort levels, preparedness, and clinical skills, few studies have addressed student perceptions of or receptiveness towards transgender health education.

The purpose of this resource, Advancing Inclusion of Transgender and Gender-Diverse Identities in Clinical Education: A Toolkit for Clinical Educators, is to facilitate critical inquiry among clinical educators regarding their approach to teaching about sex, gender, the historical and sociopolitical context of transgender health, and how to prepare their students to apply standards of care and clinical care guidelines set forth by national and international professional organizations.

Methods: This mixed-methods study involved a pre-test and post-test survey administered to students (n=84 pre-test and n=66 post-test) in four health professional education programs (medicine, family therapy, speech, language, and hearing sciences, nutrition and dietetics.) surrounding participation in the ITHED.
Article Synopsis
- Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 is the wild type strain responsible for producing acarbose, a treatment for type II diabetes.
- The small protein Cgt, found in this strain, binds to starch and is repressed by glucose or lactose, suggesting a role in sugar metabolism or stress protection.
- However, when Cgt was deleted using CRISPR/Cas9, it showed no significant impact on stress response or carbon source utilization, but interestingly, strains with Cgt deletion produced 8-16% more acarbose in maltose-rich environments.
