AI Article Synopsis

  • The urgent need for nursing faculty is highlighted by the rejection of qualified applicants due to a shortage of educators, despite the growing demand for nurses.
  • Many PhD nursing programs focus more on research rather than teaching skills, leaving graduates underprepared for educational roles.
  • The University of California Irvine's Graduate Fellows program, initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic, successfully supported faculty and enhanced graduate students' pedagogical skills, leading to increased comfort and understanding in their roles as nurse educators.

Article Abstract

Background: The need for faculty to educate prospective nurses is urgent: without sufficient nursing faculty, schools regularly reject qualified applicants, despite an increasing need for nurses. At the same time, many graduate-prepared nurses lack preparation in teaching and pedagogical frameworks.

Problem: Literature on how PhD programs in nursing prepare graduates for teaching indicates that there is typically more emphasis on research than pedagogical learning.

Approach: With the shift to remote learning under the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of California Irvine created a Graduate Fellows program to provide support to faculty while offering graduate students education in pedagogy and remote learning.

Outcomes: Fellows were satisfied and reported increased understanding of challenges in teaching and increasing comfort with nurse faculty roles.

Conclusions: The collaborative efforts of fellows and faculty provided important resources at a critical time, and insights gained can inform similar projects in nursing faculty development.

Purpose Of Review: Lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol reduces cardiovascular risk. International lipid management guidelines recommend LDL-cholesterol goals or thresholds for initiating lipid-lowering therapy. However, contemporary real-world studies have shown that many high- and very high-risk patients are not attaining LDL-cholesterol goals and are not receiving intensive lipid-lowering therapies.

Spatiotemporal Variation Assessment and Improved Prediction Of Cyanobacteria Blooms in Lakes Using Improved Machine Learning Model Based on Multivariate Data.

Environ Manage

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Integrated Regulation and Resources Development on Shallow Lakes of Ministry of Education, College of Environment, Hohai University, Nanjing, 210098, China.

Cyanobacterial blooms in shallow lakes pose a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems and public health worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for advanced predictive methodologies. As impounded lakes along the Eastern Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, Lakes Hongze and Luoma play a key role in water resource management, making the prediction of cyanobacterial blooms in these lakes particularly important. To address this, satellite remote sensing data were utilized to analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of cyanobacterial blooms in these lakes.

Background: Oral microenvironmental disorders are associated with an increased risk of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology enables the detection of substances that are visually indistinguishable to the human eye, providing a noninvasive approach with extensive applications in medical diagnostics.

Objective: The objective of this study is to develop and validate a digital, noninvasive oral diagnostic model for patients with HFpEF using HSI combined with various machine learning algorithms.

Backgrounds: Digital, online assessments are efficient means to detect early cognitive decline, but few studies have investigated the relationship between remotely collected subjective cognitive change and cognitive decline. We hypothesized that the Everyday Cognition Scale (ECog), a subjective change measure, predicts longitudinal change in cognition in the Brain Health Registry (BHR), an online registry for neuroscience research.

Methods: This study included BHR participants aged 55 + who completed both the baseline ECog and repeated administrations of the CANTAB Paired Associates Learning (PAL) visual learning and memory test.
