Recommendations for Next Steps in Our Understanding of Use of Antipsychotics among Older Adults in the PALTC Environments
As many of you are likely aware, we are mourning the sudden and untimely death of Dr Steven Levenson. Dr Levenson was a vital part of AMDA: The Society for Post Acute and Long Term Care Medicine for over 40 years, Dr Levenson held a number of leadership positions in AMDA including being a past president (2006-2007) and chair of the clinical care and policy committees. He was instrumental in developing both the medical director and attending physician competencies and recognized by his peers as a thou ght leader.

Delirium with Psychosis in an Elderly Woman with Autoimmune Encephalitis
Delirium is very common in elderly patients with acute illnesses. Patients can display a broad array of symptoms ranging from lethargy to severe behavioral abnormality (1). Antipsychotics were used in a case of delirium that turned out to be due to autoimmune encephalitis. This case helps to shed the light on the need to avoid polypharmacy in the geriatric population. The Post-Acute and Long Term Care setting can be the perfect environment to implement such an important concept. (Source: Journal of the American Medical Directors Association)

Beer Potomania Post-Skilled Nursing Facility Discharge
We present a patient who was readmitted to the hospital within days of discharge from a SNF with critically low sodium levels due to excessive beer intake. Beer Potomania is a rare cause of severe hyponatremia caused by large volume beer intake with low solute diet, resulting in low solute delivery to the kidney, impairing the inability to excrete both solute and water.

Certified Nursing Assistants' Compassion at Work, Well-being and Turnover Intentions
Compassion is innate and fundamental to caregiving, and is associated with many known benefits. It is well-established that compassion experienced by patients and in organizational contexts (e.g., compassionate environments, organizational compassion practices) is beneficial. An opportunity exists to study direct caregivers, a population that is underexplored, and compassion at work the experience of both demonstrating and receiving compassion as a caregiver. This project suggests that experienced compassion at work could help solve healthcare worker burnout. (Source: Journal of the American Medical Directors Association)

GSE265827 Embryonic myeloid cells orchestrate niche cell homeostasis critical for the establishment of the definitive HSC pool
Contributors : G ülce Perçin ; Konstantin Riege ; Stephan Culemann ; Mathias Lesche ; Susanne Reinhardt ; Steve Hoffmann ; Claudia WaskowSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusThe lifelong replenishment of blood cells relies on the function of definitive HSCs that migrate to the bone marrow during development. This process is tightly controlled by the bone marrow microenvironment. Embryonic macrophages emerge before the onset of definitive hematopoiesis, seed into discrete tissues and contribute to specialized resident macrophages throughout life. However, the functi...

GSE260709 Structure and Dynamics of Enterovirus Genotype Networks
Contributors : Nathania Dabilla ; Patrick T DolanSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Homo sapiensLike all biological populations, viral populations exist as networks of genotypes connected through mutation. Mapping the topology of these networks and quantifying population dynamics across them is crucial to understanding how populations adapt to changes in their selective environment. The influence of mutational networks is especially profound in viral populations which rapidly explore their mutational neighborhoods via high mutation rates. Using a novel single-cell sequencing method,...

Prenatal maternal stress, breastfeeding and offspring ADHD symptoms
In conclusion, our findings suggest that prenatal maternal stress increases the risk of more severe forms of ADHD symptoms in the offspring and breastfeeding can protect against such symptoms at the ages of 8 and 16. (Source: European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry)

Identification of NO2 and SO2 over China: Characterization of polluted and hotspots Provinces
This study identifies long-term (2005 ‒2020) Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) based NO2 and SO2 pollution hotspots across China by analyzing spatiotemporal distributions and variations, with characterization of polluted provinces, SO2/NO2 ratio, trend, and assessing how effective China ’s Air Pollution Control Policy (APCP) is on NO2 and SO2. Results show that NO2 and SO2 pollution hotspots were seen in China's central (Hubei), eastern (Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang), northern (Beijing, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Tianjin), northeast (Liaoning, Jilin), northwestern (Urumqi), southern (Guangdong, Hong Kong), and southwe...

Whole-Genome Sequencing-Based Confirmatory Methods on RT-qPCR Results for the Detection of Foodborne Viruses in Frozen Berries
In this study, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was combined with either of two non-targeted pre-amplification methods (SPIA and SISPA) to investigate their utility as a confirmatory method for RT-qPCR positive results of foods contaminated with enteric viruses. Frozen berries (raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries) were chosen as the food matrix of interest due to their association with numerous outbreaks of foodborne illness. The hepatitis A virus (HAV) and human norovirus (HuNoV) were used as the contaminating agents. The non-targeted WGS strategy employed in this study could detect and confirm HuNoV and HAV at genom...

Epigenetics of conotruncal congenital heart disease: Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
DiscussionTo the best of our knowledge, this protocol outlines the first systematic review and meta-analysis of the epigenetics of CTD. There is a growing body of evidence on epigenetics and its indirect involvement in disease by altering the DNA through epigenetic modifications in the genes associated with the causative factors for CHD. We will conduct a comprehensive and systematic search for literature in the above-mentioned seven core biomedical databases. It is very important to identify population-specific risk factors for CHD, which will have significant creative, custom-made, and effective prevention programs for t...
