IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 589: School of Nursing Climate Commitment: Nursing Faculty Bring Climate to the Classroom
ea Earley In 2021, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) added “the impact of climate change on environmental and population health” into The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education. Presently, little guidance exists for nursing faculty new to climate education. The year prior, the Nurses Climate Challenge (NCC)—a campaign to educate 50,000 health professionals about health impacts of climate change—launched the School of Nursing Commitment through a series of focus groups and collaborative content development. With an aim...

Experiences of Participation in a Study Investigating Feasibility of the Implantable Doppler Probe in Kidney Transplantation: An Embedded Qualitative Study
CONCLUSIONS: The clinical need for blood flow sensing technology in kidney transplants has been widely acknowledged. Implantable Doppler probes may be a beneficial adjunct in the early postoperative surveillance of kidney transplant patients. However, the device's technical limitations are the main challenges to its acceptance in clinical practice.PMID:38695588 | DOI:10.6002/ect.2023.0273 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Leveraging digital assets: lessons from a 14-year-old isotope tracer course for professional scientists
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 May 2. doi: 10.1152/advan.00073.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent policies (e.g., social distancing, travel restrictions) challenged both organizers for and attendees of programs typically held in-person. Many scientific training programs quickly adapted to virtual formats by incorporating digital assets developed for virtual learning and remote social engagement. At the outset, the value of continuing digital elements with future in-person events was unclear. To examine how virtual resources supported heterogeneous professional training programs, we reviewed su...

Why ask why? Toward coordinating knowledge of proximate and ultimate explanations in physiology
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 May 2. doi: 10.1152/advan.00057.2022. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn physiology education, students must learn to recognize and construct causal explanations. This proves difficult, in part, because causal explanations in biology manifest in different varieties. Unlike other natural sciences, causal mechanisms in physiology support physiological functions and reflect biological adaptations. Therefore, students must distinguish between questions that prompt a proximate or an ultimate explanation. In the present investigation, we aimed to determine how these different varieties of students' knowledge...

Prevalence of Positive Childhood Experiences Among Adults - Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, Four States, 2015-2021
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2024 May 2;73(17):399-404. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7317a3.ABSTRACTPositive childhood experiences (PCEs) promote optimal health and mitigate the effects of adverse childhood experiences, but PCE prevalence in the United States is not well-known. Using Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, this study describes the prevalence of individual and cumulative PCEs among adults residing in four states: Kansas (2020), Montana (2019), South Carolina (2020), and Wisconsin (2015). Cumulative PCE scores were calculated by summing affirmative responses to seven questions. Subscores were created for fami...

Transport accessibility and hospital attributes: A nonlinear analysis of their impact on Women's prenatal care seeking behavior
This study, based on a substantial Wuhan dataset (23,947 samples), investigates factors influencing prenatal care-seeking, focusing on transport accessibility and hospital attributes. Findings indicate a nuanced relationship: (1) A non-linear trend, resembling an inverted "U," reveals the complex interplay between transport accessibility, hospital attributes, and prenatal care visits. Hospital attributes have a more pronounced impact than transport accessibility. (2) Interaction analysis underscores that lower prenatal care visits relate to low-income and education levels, despite reasonable public transport accessibility....

Anemia and Associated Factors among Public Elementary School Children in Asella Town, Southeast Ethiopia: A Facility-Based Cross-Sectional Study
CONCLUSION: Anemia among school-age children was found to be a mild public health problem. Uneducated mothers, intestinal parasite infections, and underweight children were found to be determinants of anemia among school-age children. Health professionals should provide health education for mothers about child-feeding practices and the consumption of dietary sources of iron.PMID:38694783 | PMC:PMC11062769 | DOI:10.1155/2024/1519382 (Source: Anemia)

Probiotic formulations and gastro-intestinal diseases in the paediatric population: a narrative review
CONCLUSION: This study concludes that single-organism and composite probiotics are effective complementary therapies for treating gastrointestinal disorders in the pediatric population. Hence, healthcare professionals should consider using probiotics in standard treatment regimens, and educating guardians can enhance the benefits of probiotic therapy. Further research is recommended to identify the optimal strains and dosages for specific conditions and demographics. The integration of probiotics in clinical practice and ongoing research can contribute to reducing the incidence and severity of gastrointestinal disorders in...
