    Abstract Empirical data, predominantly from young women, suggest photo-based social media use is associated with greater body dissatisfaction. The present study aimed to extend these findings to midlife women and identify risk profiles for maladaptive appearance-focused social media use. A convenience sample of female Instagram users aged 40 or over (M= 50.92 years) (n = 192) was collected. Most participants were partnered, white, highly educated, and heterosexual. A cluster analysis in cross-sectional data grouped participants into four categories according to body image indices (following body positive or fitness accounts, body appreciation and dissatisfaction, thin and muscular ideal internalization, and appearance comparison). Differences by cluster emerged according to indices of social media use (e.g., photo editing, social media rumination), although following appearance-related content across types seemed to distinguish risk profiles more than the types of appearance-related content engaged with (i.e., body positive vs fitness). Furthermore, results indicated that higher social media use was associated with greater perceived negative effects of social media, suggesting that awareness alone may be insufficient to reduce behavioral risk. Findings indicate that some midlife women who use photo-based social media may be at high risk for appearance concerns, warranting further research and resource development for this group.

    Abstract Objectives: Linear unstable angiotensins stimulate hematopoiesis. Here we address: (1) Is cyclic angiotensin-(1-7) myeloprotective in mice? (2) Is cyclic angiotensin-(1-7) stable in rat? (3) Does LP2, a cyclic angiotensin-(1-7) with an N-terminal d-lysine, exert myeloprotective action in tumor-bearing mice?
    Materials and methods: Cyclic angiotensin-(1-7)'s capacity to restore levels of blood platelets and white blood cells was studied in gemcitabine-treated mice. The stability of cyclic angiotensin-(1-7) in rat was measured in blood samples taken after injection or infusion. The capacity of LP2 to restore total bone marrow cell levels in mice after treatment with 5-fluoruracil was measured. In addition, the capacity of LP2 to counter anemia in tumor-bearing mice treated with erlotinib was measured.
    Results: Cyclic angiotensin-(1-7) dose-dependently restored blood platelet levels in gemcitabine-treated mice, whereas its capacity to restore levels of white blood cells was less. In vivo aminoterminal breakdown of cyclic angiotensin-(1-7) yielded cyclic angiotensin-(2-7) and cyclic angiotensin-(3-7). LP2 significantly (p < .0001 at 100 μg/kg/day) restored bone marrow cell counts in mice after treatment with 5-fluoruracil. LP2 also significantly (p < .05) countered anemia in tumor-bearing mice treated with erlotinib.
    Conclusions: LP2 exerts myeloprotective action with perspectives for continuation of its clinical development.

    Abstract Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) has reduced the burden of pneumococcal disease by the near elimination of vaccine serotypes from countries giving a booster dose at >9 months of life. Herd protection, induced by interruption of pneumococcal vaccine type transmission has protected children too young to be immunized, children and adults with underlying risk conditions for invasive pneumococcal disease, and the elderly. PCV has rolled out in most poor countries, but millions of children remain un-immunized especially in middle income countries because of cost constraints. These are being met by considering fewer doses to maintain herd protection, and support for more affordable vaccine from developing country manufacturers. While 3rd generation PCV's with potential inclusion of 20+ serotypes are close to market in adults, it will be their introduction into childhood immunization and herd protection that is most likely to maximize the public health benefits of these vaccines.

    Abstract In light of the "replication crisis," some advocate for stricter standards and greater transparency in research methods. These efforts push toward a data analysis approach called "confirmatory data analysis" (CDA; see Wagenmakers et al., 2012). However, some (e.g., Baumeister, 2016; Goldin-Meadow, 2016) suggest that emphasizing CDA may restrict creativity and discovery. These scholars argued (sometimes inadvertently) for greater freedom to pursue "exploratory data analysis" (EDA; see Tukey, 1977). Ironically and unfortunately, many who push against stricter CDA standards do not realize EDA exists, or misunderstand the philosophy and proper tools for exploration. In this article, the meaning, tools, philosophy, and ethics associated with EDA, CDA, and a relatively unknown but important approach called "rough CDA" are clarified. Important distinctions are developed between EDA/rough CDA/CDA and other (some problematic) analysis activities including p-hacking, HARKing, and data mining, which are situated in a (graphical) framework that clarifies relationships and ethical boundaries with each. In short, the proper data analytic approach depends on (a) intentions and (b) transparency. Most psychological research is not at a maturity level to justify CDA; researchers have historically used tools mismatched to their research agenda. In the conclusion, recommendations are presented about how these typologies can be integrated into graduate training programs and how a cumulative research program can help psychology move beyond the replication crisis.

    Abstract Purpose: We investigated effects of an adaptive telehealth coaching model on caregiver implementation of enhanced milieu teaching (EMT) with newly diagnosed toddlers with autism.
    Method: Three caregiver-child dyads participated in a multiple-baseline-across-behaviors, single-case design. Caregivers were taught EMT via telehealth using the teach-model-coach-review approach. EMT strategies were taught sequentially in four components corresponding to design tiers. Caregivers reported their needs for support and adaptation via weekly surveys. Primary outcomes were measures of caregiver's implementation, including (a) a fidelity checklist for wholistic use of EMT and (b) a percentage of correct use of a subset of key EMT strategies (e.g., matched turns, target talk, expansions, play actions, milieu episodes). Generalization and maintenance of caregiver strategy use in uncoached home activities were measured. The number of different words used by children was measured as a secondary, descriptive outcome. Social validity data were collected through ratings and interviews at the end of the study.
    Results: There was a functional relation between the intervention and caregiver's implementation of EMT for all dyads. Caregiver's use of EMT strategies often generalized and maintained post-intervention. Child response to intervention was variable. Social validity data indicated that the model was beneficial to caregivers and children.
    Conclusions: An adaptive telehealth coaching model is effective for teaching caregivers of toddlers with autism to implement EMT and potentially helps to bridge the gap between diagnosis and comprehensive intervention. Further exploration of the relation between caregiver fidelity and dosage of active ingredients and child spoken language outcomes is needed.

    Abstract There are ∼4500 genes within the 'druggable genome', the subset of the human genome that expresses proteins able to bind drug-like molecules, yet existing drugs only target a few hundred. A substantial subset of druggable proteins are largely uncharacterized or understudied, with many falling within G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), ion channel, and kinase protein families. To improve scientific understanding of these three understudied protein families, the US National Institutes of Health launched the Illuminating the Druggable Genome Program. Now, as the program draws to a close, this review will lay out resources developed by the program that are intended to equip the scientific community with the tools necessary to explore previously understudied biology with the potential to rapidly impact human health.

    Abstract Objective: Using a large longitudinal sample of adults from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study, the present study extended a recently developed hierarchical model to determine how best to model the accumulation of stressors, and to determine whether the rate of change in stressors or traditional composite scores of stressors are stronger predictors of health outcomes.
    Method: We used factor analysis to estimate a stress-factor score and then, to operationalize the accumulation of stressors we examined five approaches to aggregating information about repeated exposures to multiple stressors. The predictive validity of these approaches was then assessed in relation to different health outcomes.
    Results: The prediction of chronic conditions, body mass index, difficulty with activities of daily living, executive function, and episodic memory later in life was strongest when the accumulation of stressors was modeled using total area under the curve (AUC) of estimated factor scores, compared to composite scores that have traditionally been used in studies of cumulative stress, as well as linear rates of change.
    Conclusions: Like endogenous, biological markers of stress reactivity, AUC for individual trajectories of self-reported stressors shows promise as a data reduction technique to model the accumulation of stressors in longitudinal studies. Overall, our results indicate that considering different quantitative models is critical to understanding the sequelae and predictive power of psychosocial stressors from midlife to late adulthood.

    Abstract Objectives: Cuffless wearable blood pressure (BP) devices may allow detailed evaluation of BP for prolonged periods, but their ability to accurately track BP changes is uncertain. We investigated whether a commercially available cuffless wearable device tracks: 24-h systolic (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) compared to conventional ambulatory monitoring (ABPM); and antihypertensive medication-induced BP changes compared to cuff-based home BP monitoring (HBPM).
    Methods: We fitted 41 participants (32% females, 58 ± 14 years, 80% hypertensive) with a wrist-wearable cuffless BP device (Aktiia) continuously for 6-12 days. At the beginning and the end of this period, 24-h ABPM was performed. Three participants with hypertension (one female; 60 ± 8 years) wore the Aktiia device and performed HBPM continuously one week before and 2 weeks after antihypertensive medication uptitration.
    Results: Compared to ABPM, Aktiia reported higher average SBP for 24-h (difference 4.9 mmHg, 95% CI [1.9, 7.9]) and night-time (15.5[11.8, 19.1] mmHg; all P ≤ 0.01), but similar daytime (1.0 [-1.8, 3.8] mmHg; P = 0.48). Similarly, average cuffless DBP was higher for 24-h (4.2 [2.3, 6.0] mmHg) and night-time (11.8 [9.5, 14.1] mmHg; both P  < 0.001), but similar during daytime (1.4 [-0.4, 3.23] mmHg; P  = 0.13). Aktiia also reported reduced night-time dip for SBP (difference 14.2 [12.1, 16.3] mmHg) and DBP (10.2 [8.5, 11.9] mmHg; both P  < 0.001). The average medication-induced SBP/DBP decline after 2 weeks of uptitration was -1.0/-0.8 mmHg with Aktiia vs. -19.7/-11.5 mmHg with HBPM ( P  = 0.03 for difference).
    Conclusion: This cuffless wearable device did not accurately track night-time BP decline and results suggested it was unable to track medication-induced BP changes.
