Introduction: Health care workers, especially those in pediatrics, have a high risk for compassion fatigue (CF). A wellness program (WP) might help decrease CF and increase compassion satisfaction (CS).
Method: This project implemented and evaluated a WP in a pediatric postanesthesia care unit at a large children's hospital. The project evaluated the effectiveness of a WP using pre- and post-WP surveys, which assessed CF (i.e., burnout and secondary traumatic stress), CS, and overall satisfaction with the WP.
Results: Overall results demonstrated decreases in CF and increases in CS, self-care, healthy behaviors, and knowledge of CF. The perceived level of teamwork, morale, recognition, social support, and positive coworker interactions also increased. Overall, 77% of the respondents thought the WP helped decrease CF.
Discussion: Implementing a WP that incorporates social support, education, and healthy behaviors had significant benefits, including a reduction in CF.

Introduction: Oral nicotine pouches (ONPs) are increasingly prevalent among young people and feature widely within social media content. This study systematically analyzes the most viewed videos on TikTok relating to ZYN (the most popular ONP, manufactured by a subsidiary of Philip Morris International) to understand their content sentiment and patterns, as well as the demographics and potential commercial biases of their creators.
Methods: We used an Apify scraper in July 2024 to collect URLs and metadata for the top 100 most viewed videos on TikTok under the #ZYN hashtag.

Only a few human ovarian endometrioid carcinoma cell lines are currently available, partly due to the difficulty of establishing cell lines from low-grade cancers. Here, using a cell immortalization strategy consisting of i) inactivation of the p16-pRb pathway by constitutive expression of mutant cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (R24C) (CDK4) and cyclin D1, and ii) acquisition of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) activity, we established a human ovarian endometrioid carcinoma cell line from a 46-year-old Japanese woman. That line, designated JFE-21, has proliferated continuously for over 6 months with a doubling time of ~ 55 h.

Background And Objectives: The Housing and Urban Development-Veterans Affairs Supported Housing (HUD-VASH) program provides rental subsidies, case management, and supportive services to Veterans who are currently or formerly homeless, 77% of whom are ages ≥50. Few interventions have been developed to address the needs of older Veterans in HUD-VASH.
Research Design And Methods: We conducted a 2-stage study to inform the development of an intervention to promote aging in place in HUD-VASH.
