    Abstract Aim and background: Automated perimetry plays an important role in the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma patients. The purpose of this study is to prospectively determine parity between Humphrey visual field analyzer (HVFA) perimetry (the current gold standard) and the VisuALL virtual reality perimeter (VRP).
    Materials and methods: In this prospective fully paired diagnostic accuracy study, patients with stable, long-term HVFA visual fields (horizontal dots for ≥4 consecutive visits on progression analysis) with preperimetric, mild, moderate, or severe visual field loss were familiarized with the VRP and then tested using its proprietary software. These results were used for point-by-point comparison with a contemporaneous HVFA test. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, Texas, United States of America (IRB approval #20-06-002).
    Results: The prospective study analyzed 43 eyes of 24 glaucoma patients. Spearman's correlation of mean deviation (MD) revealed a strong correlation between HVFA and VRP with r
    Conclusion: The parity between the VRP and HVFA was remarkably strong for mild and moderate glaucoma. Given its portability, ease of use, space efficiency, and low cost, the VRP presents a viable alternative.
    Clinical significance: Automated perimetry, specifically the HVFA, has been the gold standard for visual field assessment since its introduction. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has illuminated the advantages of the VRP, allowing for safer visual assessment for both patient and clinician alike. Our study hopes to establish parity between these systems, allowing for the efficient integration of a novel head-mounted perimetry system that can safely diagnose and monitor glaucomatous progression in clinical practice.
    Precis: Investigation of parity between Olleyes VisuALL virtual reality perimetry (VRP) and existing standard HVFA perimetry is essential to the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. Linear correlations between the two were established from 43 glaucomatous eyes. Parity was strong for mild and moderate glaucoma, presenting VRP as a viable alternative.

    Abstract Insect farming has potential to help alleviate food insecurities, which are increasing globally. Insect farming can also help reduce landfill loading with food loss and waste, which is nearly 33% of all food produced globally. Farming of detritivore insect species, those that can consume decaying organic material including manures, increases the economic and environmental sustainability of the insect agriculture industry. The green fig beetle (Cotinis mutabilis, Scarabaeidae) is a native to the Sonoran Desert in the United States and Mexico. This study explored the effects of ten organic waste diets differing in the ratios of four waste types, dairy cow manure, mushroom spent substrate, spent brewer’s grain, and leaves, on the growth and survivorship of the larvae. Results show that this species yielded highest grub peak weights when fed a diet containing spent beer grains. However, these grubs also had low survivorship. Highest food efficiency conversions were found in grubs that were fed a diet dominated by spent mushroom media. Manure-based compost yielded poor growth and survivorship in these grubs, despite observations of wild beetles laying eggs in compost. A correlation between diet density and peak weight of the grubs suggests that a low-density diet is a more suitable substrate. Scarabs are found world wide and can become an important component in the insect as food and feed industry.

    Abstract We describe an overweight but otherwise previously healthy 17-year-old female who presented with altered mental status and rapidly progressive weakness. She was ultimately diagnosed with Wernicke encephalopathy and wet beriberi resulting from severe thiamine deficiency. She required admission to the pediatric ICU because of hypoventilation with progressive weakness and worsening encephalopathy and was found to have impaired cardiac function as assessed by echocardiography. Her heart function and encephalopathy improved on initiation of thiamine repletion. She remained in inpatient rehabilitation for 10 months but still remained weak at discharge. Thiamine deficiency is not commonly considered in the United States as a diagnosis other than in patients with severe alcohol use disorder. However, thiamine may be depleted in as little as 2 weeks if nutrition is inadequate. In such a setting, thiamine deficiency is an important etiology to consider early in the pediatric patient with altered mentation especially because it can be readily and safely treated.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to identify differences in length of stay and readmission in patients admitted with bronchiolitis based on preferred written language. A secondary aim was to assess adherence to providing written discharge instructions in patients' preferred language.
    Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we included 384 patients aged 0 to 2 years discharged from 2 children's hospitals with bronchiolitis from May 1, 2021, through April 30, 2022; patients were excluded for history of prematurity, complex chronic condition, or ICU stay during the study period. A manual chart review was performed to determine preferred written language and language of written discharge instructions.
    Results: Patients preferring a written language other than English had a longer length of stay compared with English-preferring patients (37.9 vs 34.3 hours, P < .05), but there was no significant difference in unplanned 7-day readmissions. All patients who preferred English and Spanish received written discharge instructions in their preferred written language; no patients with other preferred languages did.
    Conclusions: Patients who preferred a written language other than English had a longer length of stay than those preferring English but there was no difference in 7-day readmissions, though power for readmissions was limited. The study also identified significant disparities in the provision of written discharge instructions in languages other than English and Spanish.

    Abstract Tracking changes in the chemical state of transition metals in alkali-ion batteries is crucial to understanding the redox chemistry during operation. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is often used to follow the chemistry through observed changes in the chemical state and local atomic structure as a function of the state-of-charge (SoC) in batteries. In this study, we utilize an operando X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) method to observe changes in the chemical state of active elements in batteries during operation. Operando XES and XAS were compared by using a laboratory-scale setup for four different battery systems: LiCoO

    Abstract Managing wildlife diseases is a constant challenge in wildlife management and may require increasing attention as climate change increases the range, spread, and transmission cycles of some of these diseases in North America. The present study quantified hunters’ compliance with chronic wasting disease (CWD) risk-reduction practices across 26 deer management units (DMUs) in Ohio. We assessed self-reported, typical deer processing behaviors among hunters who reported hunting in and near the Disease Surveillance Area (DSA). Results indicate that noncompliance with deer processing recommendations was considerably higher in the DMU encompassing the DSA. Addressing noncompliance will likely require locally focused communication and outreach centered on the risk of CWD in the area. Communication that highlights the wider prevailing norms of the following recommendations (60–70% of Ohio hunters either take their deer to a processor or put unused parts in the trash or landfill) may influence behavior change, especially in combination with more tailored, culturally driven outreach.

    Abstract As conservation scholars increasingly recognize the critical role of human thought and behavior in determining the persistence of biodiversity across the globe, a growing line of inquiry regarding the validity and comparability of previous applications of core psychological concepts has emerged. Specifically, inconsistent measurement and use of terms, such as attitudes and acceptance, reveal important questions about previous approaches. Given that these concepts differ by definition, yet have been used interchangeably, we explored what drives differences in people's responses when each concept is operationalized in the context of a contested wildlife species, the gray wolf (Canis lupus). To do so, we used data from a 2014 survey of U.S. residents (n = 1287) to test how measures of six concepts (i.e., acceptance, attitudes, benefits, risks, [prior] behavior, and behavioral intentions) often employed in the conservation social sciences were related with a broad set of possible explanatory variables. Despite moderate to strong correlations between all concepts measured (| Pearson's r | = 0.39-0.65, p < 0.001), results revealed considerable variation in their respective relationships with identical explanatory variables. Specifically, although wildlife value orientation (i.e., domination or mutualism) operated fairly consistently across cognitive and behavioral concepts, the relationship between the six concepts and other factors, such as social trust, identification with various interest groups (i.e., hunter, farmer, or rancher, environmentalist, and animal rights advocate), and political ideology (i.e., liberal vs. conservative), varied considerably. Our findings underscore that differences exist in these measures, which could have serious implications for conservationists integrating social science findings in their decision-making processes if they are unaware of the theoretical underpinnings of and distinctions between core psychological concepts.

    Abstract Objective:  Although the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) provide regulations and guidance on fellowship didactic education, each program establishes their own didactic schedules to address these learning needs. Wide variation exists in content, educators, amount of protected educational time, and the format for didactic lectures. This inconsistency can contribute to fellow dissatisfaction, a perceived poor learning experience, and poor attendance. Our objective was to create a Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine (NPM) fellow curriculum based on adult learning theory utilizing fellow input to improve the perceived fellow experience.
    Study design:  A needs assessment of current NPM fellows at Cincinnati Children's Hospital was conducted to guide the development of a new curriculum. Fellow perception of educational experience and board preparedness before and after introduction of the new curriculum was collected. Study period was from October 2018 to July 2021.
    Results:  One hundred percent of the fellows responded to the needs assessment survey. A response rate of 100 and 87.5% were noted on mid-curriculum survey and postcurriculum survey, respectively. Key themes identified and incorporated into the curriculum included schedule structure, content, and delivery mode. A new didactic curriculum implementing a consistent schedule of shorter lectures grouped by organ system targeting ABP core content was created. After curriculum implementation, fellows had higher self-perception of board preparedness, and overall improved satisfaction.
    Conclusion:  Our positive experience in implementing this curriculum provides a framework for individual programs to implement similar curricula, and could be utilized to aid in development of national NPM curricula.
    Key points: · Fellowship didactic education varies significantly resulting in learner dissatisfaction and poor attendance.. · Widespread need to restructure didactic curricula exists.. · Our study provides a framework for future curricula..
