Background And Objective: Simulation-based skill trainings are common; however, optimal instructional designs that improve outcomes are not well specified. We explored the impact of just-in-time and just-in-place training (JIPT) on interns' infant lumbar puncture (LP) success.
Methods: This prospective study enrolled pediatric and emergency medicine interns from 2009 to 2012 at 34 centers. Two distinct instructional design strategies were compared. Cohort A (2009-2010) completed simulation-based training at commencement of internship, receiving individually coached practice on the LP simulator until achieving a predefined mastery performance standard. Cohort B (2010-2012) had the same training plus JIPT sessions immediately before their first clinical LP. Main outcome was LP success, defined as obtaining fluid with first needle insertion and <1000 red blood cells per high-power field. Process measures included use of analgesia, early stylet removal, and overall attempts.
Results: A total of 436 first infant LPs were analyzed. The LP success rate in cohort A was 35% (13/37), compared with 38% (152/399) in cohort B (95% confidence interval for difference [CI diff], -15% to +18%). Cohort B exhibited greater analgesia use (68% vs 19%; 95% CI diff, 33% to 59%), early stylet removal (69% vs 54%; 95% CI diff, 0% to 32%), and lower mean number of attempts (1.4 ± 0.6 vs 2.1 ± 1.6, P < .01) compared with cohort A.
Conclusions: Across multiple institutions, intern success rates with infant LP are poor. Despite improving process measures, adding JIPT to training bundles did not improve success rate. More research is needed on optimal instructional design strategies for infant LP.

Momentary Associations Across Specific Affective States and Dysregulated Eating Experiences Among Children and Adolescents With Loss of Control Eating Symptoms.

Objective: Dysregulated eating is common among youth and is associated with trait-level negative affect and emotion regulation difficulties. Despite the transient nature of affect, momentary associations among affect and eating behavior are unclear, which limits development of more impactful treatment tools, such as "just-in-time" intervention approaches (JITAI). The current study (N = 62) drew from two ecological momentary assessment (EMA) studies involving children and adolescents who endorsed loss of control (LOC) eating symptoms during a two-week assessment period.

Background: Continuing medical education (CME) is vital for healthcare professionals to maintain clinical competence and keep pace with the rapidly evolving medical landscape. Traditional CME models often fall short of meeting the dynamic needs of modern healthcare professionals.
Objective: This study explores innovative CME methods, including microlearning, Just-in-Time Training (JITT), and digital platforms, to assess their effectiveness and identify potential barriers to adoption.
The impact of momentary stress on autobiographical memory recall in a self-efficacy intervention.

Article Synopsis
- Recalling positive autobiographical memories is linked to better mental well-being and self-confidence, and this study looked into how stress impacts this memory recall during a self-efficacy training.
- Participants (N = 54) reported more difficulty and less vividness in recalling mastery memories under stress, while being relaxed made recall easier and clearer.
- The findings suggest that interventions should consider stress levels and may benefit from combining memory recall with relaxation techniques, especially when stress is low, to improve mental health outcomes.

Overexpression of a single enzyme in a multigene heterologous pathway may be out of balance with the other enzymes in the pathway, leading to accumulated toxic intermediates, imbalanced carbon flux, reduced productivity of the pathway, or an inhibited growth phenotype. Therefore, optimal, balanced, and synchronized expression levels of enzymes in a particular metabolic pathway is critical to maximize production of desired compounds while maintaining cell fitness in a growing culture. Furthermore, the optimal intracellular concentration of an enzyme is determined by the expression strength, specific timing/duration, and degradation rate of the enzyme.
