Introduction: The study explores the anticipated willingness of teacher credential candidates at one California public university in the U.S. to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO) skills in a school setting. Objectives included (1) identifying reasons that credential candidates would elect or decline to perform CPR, (2) assisting schools to remediate cardiac/respiratory emergency preparedness, and (3) assessing CPR training courses to determine how they may influence teachers' willingness to perform CPR.
Method: Participants included 582 teacher credential candidates, who were 95.2% of those surveyed after completion of a health science course and CPR certification. Participants described their attitudes regarding the importance of CPR, the CPR training course, and their willingness to perform CPR in a school environment.
Results: Based upon chi-square analysis, an association was found between the willingness to perform CPR and the presence of any one concern regarding training, with 68.6% of those expressing concerns willing to perform CPR compared to 81.9% of those expressing no concerns (p<.0005). Participants certified multiple times stated that they were more likely to perform FBAO skills on both conscious (89% vs. 78.9%, p=.025) and unconscious victims (80% vs. 72%, p<.001), as were participants who believed CPR to be an important skill for teachers (76.9% vs. 43.5%, p<.001). Males were more likely to express willingness to perform CPR than females (84.6% vs. 72.1%, p<.001).
Conclusions: Attitudes regarding CPR training may influence teachers' willingness to perform CPR. Recommendations based on these findings include pedagogical changes to CPR curricula, focusing on the importance of CPR as a teacher skill and additional time for hands-on practice. Future research should include U.S. and international participants from a broader geographic area and assessment of both learning and affective outcomes.

Training residents in any specialty is a balancing act between ensuring high-quality education, making certain the resident meets the requirements set forth by the specialty college to achieve credentials and be eligible to take the board certification examination, and fulfilling clinical duties at that institution. For programs such as this one, residents are integral members of the clinical team, working primary emergency receiving shifts in order to allow the service to function; this leads to a need to identify and protect learning time for the residents. Those involved in the Purdue Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care residency program believe that in the chaos that is emergency and critical care, a firm timeline with attainable checkpoints is crucial to resident success.

Cancer immunotherapies produce remarkable results in B cell malignancies; however, optimal cell surface targets for many solid cancers remain elusive. Here, we present an integrative proteomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic analysis of tumor and normal tissues to identify biologically relevant cell surface immunotherapeutic targets for neuroblastoma, an often-fatal childhood cancer. Proteogenomic analyses reveal sixty high-confidence candidate immunotherapeutic targets, and we prioritize delta-like canonical notch ligand 1 (DLK1) for further study.

Introduction: Prior work notes the AUA In-Service Exam (ISE) percentile ranking of chief residents correlates with the American Board of Urology Qualifying Exam (QE) performance. We present a 5-year analysis of resident performance on the ISE and subsequent QE to determine if earlier time points in training may identify those needing additional educational support.
Methods: Participant ISE scores over a 5-year period from 2014 to 2018 and subsequent QE scores in 2019 were recorded.
