A study examining the usefulness of audiovisual reviews (AVR's) as a method of teaching behavioral medicine was done with family medicine residents and faculty at the UNC School of Medicine. A set of educational goals for family medicine residency training was established. In a survey faculty and residents were asked to rate the importance of teaching each goal during residency and the appropriateness of AVR's for teaching it. Observers recorded the content of discussion in 18 regularly scheduled AVR's. In survey results both faculty and residents agreed that AVR's are best suited for teaching behavioral medicine skills. However, there were different goals, depending on level of training. Content analysis of the observed AVR's showed that the four most valued teaching goals comprised 50% of the topics discussed in actual AVR's. Results of this study validate the use of AVR's as a teaching strategy for behavioral medicine skills.

Women-identifying and women+ gender faculty (hereto described as women+ faculty) face numerous barriers to career advancement in medicine and biomedical sciences. Despite accumulating evidence that career development programming for women+ is critical for professional advancement and well-being, accessibility of these programs is generally limited to small cohorts, only offered to specific disciplines, or otherwise entirely unavailable. Opportunities for additional, targeted career development activities are imperative in developing and retaining women+ faculty.

This study investigates the role of flavonoid Icaritin (ICT) in estrogen-deficient ovariectomized (OVX) female mice by activating the Estrogen receptor (ER)/ Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway, potentially delaying Parkinson's disease (PD) progression post-castration. Seventy-five 8-week-old C57BL/6J female mice underwent ovariectomy, followed by MPTP (20 mg/kg) injection for 7 days. ICT (20 mg/kg) was administered for 14 days, and motor function was assessed using various behavioral tests.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have exacerbated mental health conditions by introducing and/or modifying stressors, particularly in university populations. We examined longitudinal patterns, time-varying predictors, and contemporaneous correlates of moderate-severe psychological distress (MS-PD) among college students. During 2020-2021, participants completed self-administered questionnaires quarterly (T1 = 562, T2 = 334, T3 = 221, and T4 = 169).
