Associations between trajectories of adolescent conduct problems and psychological well-being in young women.

Introduction: Despite the clinical relevance, little is known about variability in positive adult outcomes (i.e., flourishing, life satisfaction) of female adolescent conduct problems (CP), or interpersonal factors that promote these types of well-being.

Screening for Osteoporosis Risk Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Scoping Review.

Background And Purpose: Due to potential health-related consequences of osteoporosis (OP), health care providers who do not order imaging, such as physical therapists, should be aware of OP screening tools that identify individuals who need medical and rehabilitation care. However, current knowledge and guidance on screening tools is limited. Therefore, we explored OP screening tools that are appropriate and feasible for physical therapy practice, and evaluated tools' effectiveness by examining their clinimetric properties.

Implementation of a Multimodal Interdisciplinary Massive Transfusion Protocol Educational Bundle Improves Knowledge and Self-Efficacy.

Purpose: Critical events in the operative setting require rapid management to prevent adverse outcomes. This article describes a multimodal educational bundle that was designed and implemented to improve readiness to respond to crises involving significant blood loss. Intended outcomes of this project were to increase knowledge and self-efficacy of anesthesia providers and perioperative staff members related to the use of the massive transfusion protocol (MTP).

Simultaneous integration and modularity underlie the exceptional body shape diversification of characiform fishes.

Evolutionary biology has long striven to understand why some lineages diversify exceptionally while others do not. Most studies have focused on how extrinsic factors can promote differences in diversification dynamics, but a clade's intrinsic modularity and integration can also catalyze or restrict its evolution. Here, we integrate geometric morphometrics, phylogenetic comparative methods and visualizations of covariance to infer the presence of distinct modules in the body plan of Characiformes, an ecomorphologically diverse fish radiation.

Arched footprints preserve the motions of fossil hominin feet.

The longitudinal arch of the human foot is viewed as a pivotal adaptation for bipedal walking and running. Fossil footprints from Laetoli, Tanzania, and Ileret, Kenya, are believed to provide direct evidence of longitudinally arched feet in hominins from the Pliocene and Pleistocene, respectively. We studied the dynamics of track formation using biplanar X-ray, three-dimensional animation and discrete element particle simulation.

Examining physical activity participation barriers among adults 50 years and older: a scoping review.

Background: Addressing physical activity (PA) barriers is essential for increasing PA levels in middle-aged and older adults. However, there are no recommendations on selecting PA barrier assessment tools.

Objectives: Thus, we aimed to identify and provide clinimetric properties on PA barrier assessment tools that healthcare providers, exercise experts, and public health officials can use to examine potential barriers faced by community-dwelling adults 50 years and older.

Method: A snowball method used by local female and male students trained to collect data according to culturally competent methods. The following research instruments were deployed: Symptoms Checklist-SCL90, Self-esteem Scale, the McMaster Family Assessment Device, Marital Satisfaction Scale, and life Satisfaction Scale.

From Vaccines to Vitality: The Progression of a Community-Academic Collaboration.

In this practice note, we document the progression of the Community Vaccine Collaborative (CVC), on which we first published in 2021. The CVC convened to address deep COVID-19-related disparities affecting the Black, Latine, immigrant/refugee, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, (questioning), intersex, asexual, and (agender; LGBTQIA+) communities. The COVID-19 pandemic is rooted in centuries of oppression and marginalization leading to inequities and required dedicated focus to support marginalized communities in times of crisis.

Bioinformatic characterization of endolysins and holin-like membrane proteins in the lysis cassette of phages that infect Gordonia rubripertincta.

Holins are bacteriophage-encoded transmembrane proteins that function to control the timing of bacterial lysis event, assist with the destabilization of the membrane proton motive force and in some models, generate large "pores" in the cell membrane to allow the exit of the phage-encoded endolysin so they can access the peptidoglycan components of the cell wall. The lysis mechanism has been rigorously evaluated through biochemical and genetic studies in very few phages, and the results indicate that phages utilize endolysins, holins and accessory proteins to the outer membrane to achieve cell lysis through several distinct operational models. This observation suggests the possibility that phages may evolve novel variations of how the lysis proteins functionally interact in an effort to improve fitness or evade host defenses.

The Relationship between the Frequency and Duration of Physical Activity and Depression in Older Adults with Multiple Chronic Diseases.

Research has demonstrated that older adults with multiple chronic diseases (CD) are particularly vulnerable to depression. Meeting current recommendations for physical activity (PA) may help ameliorate the impact of depression on this population. Nonetheless, the impact of frequency versus duration of PA on depression in older adults remains to be explored.

Early-life adversity increases anxiety-like behavior and modifies synaptic protein expression in a region-specific manner.

Early-life adversity (ELA) can induce persistent neurological changes and increase the risk for developing affective or substance use disorders. Disruptions to the reward circuitry of the brain and pathways serving motivation and emotion have been implicated in the link between ELA and altered adult behavior. The molecular mechanisms that mediate the long-term effects of ELA, however, are not fully understood.

Reliability, responsiveness, and validity of slow walking speed in community dwelling older adults.

Background: Independent ambulation requires adaptability. Self-selected and maximum walking speeds are often both assessed to demonstrate the ability to adapt speed to different tasks and environments. However, purposefully walking at a slow speed (slowWS) could also be an appropriate adaptation in certain situations but has rarely been investigated.

The COVID-19 vaccination experience of non-English speaking immigrant and refugee communities of color: A community co-created study.

In this community-partnered study we conducted focus groups with non-English speaking immigrant and refugee communities of color in 4 languages to understand their perspectives on COVID-19 vaccines, barriers to accessing vaccines, and recommendations for healthcare providers. We used a mixed deductive-inductive thematic analysis approach and human centered design to guide data analysis. 66 individuals participated; 85% were vaccinated.

Wellness Aging Model Related to Inactivity, Illness, and Injury (WAMI-3): A Tool to Encourage Prevention in Practice.

It is a steep challenge to fully implement the wide range of evidence that supports rehabilitation interventions for the prevention of chronic disease. Proactive physical activity (PA) promotion can lead to increased PA levels to improve and maintain physical function. Higher levels of PA throughout the lifespan lead to better overall population health, wellness, aging, disease prevention, and chronic condition management.

Fossil footprints and what they mean for hominin paleobiology.

Hominin footprints have not traditionally played prominent roles in paleoanthropological studies, aside from the famous 3.66 Ma footprints discovered at Laetoli, Tanzania in the late 1970s. This contrasts with the importance of trace fossils (ichnology) in the broader field of paleontology.

Gaseous transport properties of the ground and excited Cr, Co, and Ni cations in He: Ab initio study of electronic state chromatography.

The electronic state chromatography (ESC) effect allows the differentiation of ions in their ground and metastable states by their gaseous mobilities in the limit of low electrostatic fields. It is investigated here by means of accurate transport calculations with ab initio ion-atom potentials for the Cr, Co, and Ni cations in He buffer gas near room temperature. The values for the open-shell ions in degenerate states are shown to be well approximated by using the single isotropic interaction potential.

Partnerships in pandemics: tracing power relations in community engaged scholarship in food systems during COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically disrupted food and educational systems, laying bare institutional inadequacies and structural inequalities. While there has been ample discussion on impacts to the food system and higher education institutions separately, there has been little written through the perspective of people who navigate both. Farmers, researchers, graduate students, chefs, and many stakeholders contribute to community engaged scholarship (CES) in food systems, facing novel obstacles and opportunities with the spread of the pandemic.

Self-Care Skills to Prevent Burnout: A Pilot Study Embedding Mindfulness in an Undergraduate Nursing Course.

Pharmacological and Non-Pharmacological Agents versus Bovine Colostrum Supplementation for the Management of Bone Health Using an Osteoporosis-Induced Rat Model.

Osteoporosis is defined by loss of bone mass and deteriorated bone microarchitecture. The present study compared the effects of available pharmacological and non-pharmacological agents for osteoporosis [alendronate (ALE) and concomitant supplementation of vitamin D (VD) and calcium (Ca)] with the effects of bovine colostrum (BC) supplementation in ovariectomized (OVX) and orchidectomized (ORX) rats. Seven-month-old rats were randomly allocated to: (1) placebo-control, (2) ALE group (7.

Salivary neutrophil sampling feasibility in general population for gene expression analysis.

Objective: Human gene expression studies typically rely on peripheral blood samples as a cellular source, however there are numerous situations in which venipuncture is contraindicated. To this end, an oral rinse-based method for collecting salivary neutrophils as a cellular source for gene expression analyses was previously developed and shown in a pilot study with five male participants to yield mRNA expression results comparable to those obtained from peripheral blood samples. The objective of the current study was to characterize the generalizability of the oral rinse-based method by analyzing unpublished RNA quality data obtained through a parent study that collected salivary neutrophil samples using the method from a larger sample size and including both men and women.

Admission characteristics that influence DNP students' first-semester success: A retrospective study.

Background: Students apply to Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs with varying demographic, academic, and professional characteristics. Programs are challenged with selecting and retaining students. Suggestions regarding which admission criteria and student characteristics are influential for success have been inconsistent.
