Published: October 2023

Electronic simulation (e-simulation)-particularly scenario-based e-simulation (SBES)-is an increasingly used, promising educational strategy for global health education that can address gaps in training access, effectiveness, and cost. However, there is little guidance for educators on how to develop an SBES, and guidance is lacking outside the clinical context. Moreover, literature on medical education rarely uses the theoretical basis for e-simulation design and development, including for SBES. Hence, we aim to differentiate and describe the concept, design elements, and theoretical basis of SBES with examples from different topics in global health. In addition to enhancing the understanding of the potential of SBES for global health education, this manuscript also provides practical recommendations for global health educators in designing and developing SBESs based on the existing literature and authors' experiences. Overall, this manuscript will be useful for global health educators as well as other medical educators seeking to develop an SBES for similar skill sets.

Defining the cellular factors that drive growth rate and proteome composition is essential for understanding and manipulating cellular systems. In bacteria, ribosome concentration is known to be a constraining factor of cell growth rate, while gene concentration is usually assumed not to be limiting. Here, using single-molecule tracking, quantitative single-cell microscopy, and modeling, we show that genome dilution in cells arrested for DNA replication limits total RNA polymerase activity within physiological cell sizes across tested nutrient conditions.

Patterns of Social Connection Among Older Adults in England.

JAMA Netw Open

December 2024

Department of Behavioural Science and Health, Institute of Epidemiology and Health Care, University College London, London, United Kingdom.

Importance: Issues related to social connection are increasingly recognized as a global public health priority. However, there is a lack of a holistic understanding of social connection and its health impacts given that most empirical research focuses on a single or few individual concepts of social connection.

Objective: To explore patterns of social connection and their associations with health and well-being outcomes.

Social Determinants of Health, Blood Pressure Classification, and Incident Stroke Among Chinese Adults.

JAMA Netw Open

December 2024

Hypertension Laboratory, Cardiovascular Disease Center of Guangdong Province, Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences), Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.

Importance: Although cumulative evidence suggests that higher blood pressure (BP) and a greater burden of social determinants of health (SDOH) are associated with an increased risk of stroke, few studies have examined whether SDOH burden modifies the association between BP and stroke risk.

Objective: To evaluate whether the association between BP classification and stroke risk differs by SDOH burden among Chinese adults.

Design, Setting, And Participants: In this cohort study, analyses were conducted among 90 850 participants in the prospective subcohort of the China Patient-Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Million Persons Project, with recruitment from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2020.
