Background: Team-based learning (TBL) increases student engagement, value of teamwork, and performance on standardized evaluations.
Purpose: The authors implemented a 3rd-year pediatric TBL curriculum, evaluating its effect on satisfaction, engagement, value of teamwork, and short-term and long-term academic performance.
Method: Students evaluated the TBL curriculum and core lectures through satisfaction, engagement and value of team surveys. Scores on short-term and long-term examinations were compared to historical data.
Results: The first implementation year, students were less likely to enjoy TBL sessions compared to lectures. The 2nd year, this difference lessened. Through both years, students reported dramatic increases in classroom engagement during TBL compared to lecture. Students developed a greater value for teams after participating in TBL. Short-term and long-term examination scores improved significantly.
Conclusions: Both short-term and long-term performance improved with implementation of TBL, emphasizing the benefits of a curriculum that allows students to critically engage with material.

Stem cell transplantation is a promising strategy to establish neural relays in situ for spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. Recent research has reported short-term survival of exogenous cells, irrespective of immunosuppressive drugs (ISD), results in similar function recovery, though the mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to validate this short-term repair effect and the potential mechanisms in large animals.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare and potentially fatal condition characterized by progressive increases in blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. Oral selexipag, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2015 for the treatment of PAH, targets prostacyclin receptors on pulmonary arterial vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells to improve blood flow through the lungs and reduce pulmonary vascular resistance. Oral selexipag is effective, but may be discontinued due to factors like side effects, emergency conditions, or inability to take oral medication, potentially leading to severe adverse events, such as rebound pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAI), particularly those involving multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO), pose a significant public health threat. Understanding the transmission of these pathogens in short-term acute care hospitals (STACH) is crucial for effective control. Mathematical and computational models play a key role in studying transmission but often overlook the influence of long-term care facilities (LTCFs) and the broader community on transmission.

Predicting and responding to how climate change affects plant-pathosystems is challenging, as environment affects host-pathogen interactions from molecular to the community level, and with eco-evolutionary feedbacks at play. To address this knowledge gap, we studied short-term within-host eco-evolutionary changes in the pathogen, , on resistant and susceptible pepper in the open-top chambers (OTCs) under elevated Ozone (O) conditions in a single growing season.
