As the number of alumni of the CSULB BUILD Student Training Program continues to grow, it has become vital to develop a systematic way to track each trainee's graduate school enrollment and persistence. Developing a system that tracks post-graduate outcomes is not only important for determining the success of the program, but it also creates opportunities for the program to continue supporting its former trainees. A major challenge to tracking is that alumni are not very engaged in the process. To address this challenge, we developed the Annual BUILD Snapshot, a personalized unique Excel file designed to collect information on student activities during their time in the BUILD Program and after graduation. In this paper, we describe the development and implementation of the Annual BUILD Snapshot. We also discuss the strategies we used to launch the Snapshot, the administration process, and the outcomes and lessons learned from the process. Our findings have implications for similar training programs that need to track the short-term and long-term outcomes of their students and aim to remain connected to their alumni in unique and creative ways.

Preclinical Identification of Poorly Controlled COPD: Patients with a Single Moderate Exacerbation Matter Too.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains a critical global health challenge, characterized by high morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Current guidelines may overlook patients who present with only one moderate exacerbation or with frequent short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) use. Building on findings from the Seleida study, this research refines the criteria for poor COPD control to include these patients, aiming to improve early identification of high-risk cases in primary care.

The concentration of natural radionuclides Ra, Th and K in ceramic tiles manufactured in Poland is presented in this paper. The concentration of natural radioactive isotopes in the tested samples was determined using a low-level digital gamma ray spectrometer equipped with an HPGe semiconductor detector. The mean concentrations of Ra, Th and K in the analyzed samples were found to be 48 ± 3 Bq∙kg, 49 ± 3 Bq∙kg and 476 ± 23 Bq∙kg, respectively.

Aim: The aim of this systematic review is to present the pooled estimated prevalence and risk factors for cognitive impairment (CI) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Background: Patients with COPD suffer from progressive and irreversible airflow limitation, resulting in continuous impairment of lung function, which in addition to causing lesions in the lungs, often accrues to other organs as well. In recent years, a growing number of cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have shown that hypoxia is an important factor in causing CI and that there is an important link between them, but the assessment of co-morbid neurocognitive impairment and dysfunction is often overlooked.
Low-carbon indoor humidity regulation via 3D-printed superhygroscopic building components.

Indoor humidity can significantly impact our comfort and well-being, often leading to the use of mechanical systems for its management. However, these systems can result in substantial carbon emissions and energy precarity. This study offers an alternative: using low-carbon materials that naturally buffer moisture to passively regulate the indoor humidity.

Objective: Relationships among coworker and patient visibility, reactions to physical work environment, and work stress in ICU nurses are explored.
Background: Millions of dollars are invested annually in the building or remodeling of ICUs, yet there is a gap in understanding relationships between the physical layout of nursing units and work stress.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional, correlational, exploratory, predictive design, relationships among variables were studied in a diverse sample of ICU nurses.
