    Abstract Objective: Survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) report significant trauma histories, high rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), head injuries and comorbid disorders, and multiple barriers to treatment that often preclude the regular attendance and engagement required in typical therapy protocols. The significant challenges faced by IPV survivors needing treatment may be ameliorated by condensing effective treatments for PTSD, such as cognitive processing therapy (CPT), in an accelerated delivery timeline.
    Method: Using a multiple subject, single case design of six matched pairs of 12 female IPV survivors, we preliminarily tested the relative effectiveness of individual massed CPT delivered over 5 days (mCPT) as compared with standard CPT (sCPT) delivery in women IPV survivors. Assessments included full psychiatric diagnostic interviews, clinical interviews assessing trauma history and head injury prior to treatment, symptom monitoring during treatment, and full repeat assessments at 1 month and 3 months following treatment.
    Results: No treatment group effect was found for PTSD severity between mCPT and sCPT among intention-to-treat,
    Conclusion: Overall, findings indicate mCPT appears effective in reducing psychological symptoms for women IPV survivors and suggest that condensed treatment is both palatable and feasible. Accelerated treatment delivery in this population may provide a necessary lifeline for women with IPV-related PTSD. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

    Abstract Anatomy is a foundational science mainstay of undergraduate medical school education, particularly in the pre-clerkship curriculum. During the post-clerkship curriculum, students closer to graduate medical education may benefit from a focused concentration on human anatomy related to their specific clinical interests. Here, we describe a course for post-clerkship students that uniquely incorporates a multimodal approach of dissection, didactics, and clinical correlation to radiologic imaging, with the opportunity to personalize student learning on a specialty-specific anatomic region. The course increased students' confidence of anatomical knowledge and its clinical relevance. Other institutions may benefit from establishing a similar multimodal integrated post-clerkship anatomy curriculum.

    Abstract Background: Individuals in the geriatric age range are more prone than younger individuals to convert their partial thickness thermal burns into full thickness injuries. We hypothesized that this often observed clinical phenomenon is strongly related to differential local injury responses mediated by the immune system.
    Materials & methods: Skin samples from areas with partial thickness thermal burns were obtained during routine excision and grafting procedures between post burn days 2-6. Tissue samples were grouped by age ranges with young patients defined as <30 years of age or aged patients defined as >65. Formalin fixed samples were used to confirm depth of burn injury and companion sections were homogenized for multiplex analysis using a Luminex platform. Immunohistochemical staining was used to quantify total macrophage numbers as well as the M1 and M2 subpopulations.
    Results: Our analysis includes samples derived from 11 young subjects (mean age=23) and 3 aged subjects (mean age=79.2). Our initial survey of analytes examined 31 cytokines/chemokines. Twelve were excluded from consideration as they were present in concentrations either above or below the optimal detection range. Two analytes emerged as candidate molecules with significant differences between the young and the aged patient responses to burn injury. EGF levels were on average 21.69pg/ml in young vs 14.87pg/ml in aged (p=0.032). RANTES/CCL5 levels were on average 14.86pg/ml in young vs 4.26pg/ml in aged (p=0.026). Elevated macrophage numbers were present within wounds of younger patients compared to the old (p<0.01), with a higher concentration of the M1 type in the elderly (p>0.05).
    Conclusion: Our study has identified at least 2 well known cytokines, CCL5 (RANTES) and EGF, which are differentially regulated in response to burn injury by young versus aged burn victims. Evidence suggests that a proinflammatory environment can explain the high conversion rate from partial to full thickness burns. Our data suggest the need for future studies at the point of injury (cutaneous targets) that may be modulated by post burn release of cytokines/chemokines.

    Abstract Purpose: To design, implement, and launch courses that integrate foundational science learning and clinical application in a post-clerkship undergraduate medical school curriculum.
    Method: In Academic Year (AY) 15-16, as part of a comprehensive curricular revision, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine (VUSM) formally implemented "Integrated Science Courses" (ISCs) that combined rigorous training in the foundational sciences with meaningful clinical experiences. These courses integrated foundational sciences that could be leveraged in the clinical environment, utilized a variety of instructional modalities, and included quantitative and qualitative (competency-based milestones) student assessments. Each ISC underwent a rigorous quality improvement process that required input on foundational science content, student experience, and student performance assessment.
    Results: Eleven ISCs were delivered to 173 students in AY15-16, with some students taking more than one ISC. Immediately after completing each course, 93% (n=222) of ISC enrollees completed a course evaluation. Students (91%; n=201) 'agreed' or 'strongly agreed' that foundational science learning informed and enriched the clinical experiences. Furthermore, 94% (n=209) of students thought that the clinical experiences informed and enriched the foundational science learning. Ninety-four percent of the students anticipated using the foundational science knowledge acquired in future clinical training and practice.
    Conclusion: The teaching of foundational sciences in the clinical workplace in the post-clerkship medical curriculum is challenging and resource-intensive, yet feasible. Additional experience with the model will inform the mix of courses as well as the breadth and depth of foundational science instruction that is necessary to foster scientifically-based clinical reasoning skills in each student.

    Abstract Objective: This study examined bereavement-related risk markers (number of deaths, cause of death, and relationship to deceased) of mental and behavioral health problems (suicidal thoughts or behaviors, self-injury, depression, posttraumatic stress, and substance use) in a national sample of clinic-referred bereaved adolescents.
    Method: Participants included 1281 bereaved youth aged 12-21 years (M=15, SD=1.8; 62.1% female), from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network Core Data Set.
    Results: Generalized linear mixed-effects regression models controlling for demographics and other traumas revealed that youth bereaved by multiple deaths had higher posttraumatic stress scores than youth bereaved by a single death (Estimated difference ±SE=3.36 ± 1.11
    Conclusion: These bereavement-related contextual factors can serve as early markers of mental and behavioral health problems among bereaved youth.

    Abstract Background: Large congenital nevi carry a slightly increased risk of melanoma. Pregnancy poses an additional challenge in the monitoring of these patients because little is known regarding the effects of increased estrogen levels on congenital nevi.
    Observations: A young woman was observed to have clinical lightening of her garment nevus and satellite nevi during 2 sequential pregnancies. Postpartum, the patient experienced darkening and repigmentation in her large garment nevus, with continued lightening of nearby satellite lesions. In addition to photographic documentation of these changes, biopsy samples taken during pregnant and nonpregnant periods underwent immunohistochemical evaluation for estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta), the predominant estrogen receptor in nevi and melanomas. Biopsy samples collected during pregnancy showed a decrease in nuclear staining for ERbeta compared with samples collected after pregnancy. These changes in ERbeta expression were not associated with histologic atypia during pregnancy or after delivery.
    Conclusions: Congenital nevi may be unique in their response to altered estrogen levels. Given the slightly increased risk of melanoma in giant congenital nevi and the dearth of information available regarding the effects of pregnancy on congenital nevi, this case illustrates the need for further study of these pigmented lesions.

    Abstract Impaired wound healing that mimics chronic human skin pathologies is difficult to achieve in current animal models, hindering testing and development of new therapeutic biomaterials that promote wound healing. In this article, we describe a refinement and simplification of the porcine ischemic wound model that increases the size and number of experimental sites per animal. By comparing three flap geometries, we adopted a superior configuration (15 × 10 cm) that enabled testing of twenty 1 cm

    Abstract Epidermal growth factor (EGF), a well-characterized peptide that stimulates in vitro cell proliferation, has now been shown to enhance in vivo resurfacing of porcine wounds. Topical formulations containing either recombinant EGF or placebo were applied daily to partial-thickness wounds along the dorsal surface of pigs. Following full-thickness removal of these wounds, tissues were sectioned and stained, and histologic sections were subjected to computerized morphometric analysis. A significant acceleration of epithelialization across the wound surface was noted following daily EGF treatments. EGF delivered in a variety of topical formulations also produced a marked increase in the cellularity and thickness in the neodermis. A dose-responsive increase in the thickness of the granulation tissue was also observed. In conclusion, topical application of EGF stimulates epithelialization of partial-thickness wounds and produces a positive impact on the underlying dermis during the early phases of wound repair.

    Abstract Lysine-derived polyurethane scaffolds (LTI-PUR) support cutaneous wound healing in loose-skinned small animal models. Due to the physiological and anatomical similarities of human and pig skin, we investigated the capacity of LTI-PUR scaffolds to support wound healing in a porcine excisional wound model. Modifications to scaffold design included the addition of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as a porogen to increase interconnectivity and an additional plasma treatment (Plasma) to decrease surface hydrophobicity. All LTI-PUR scaffold and formulations supported cellular infiltration and were biodegradable. At 15 days, CMC and plasma scaffolds simulated increased macrophages more so than LTI PUR or no treatment. This response was consistent with macrophage-mediated oxidative degradation of the lysine component of the scaffolds. Cell proliferation was similar in control and scaffold-treated wounds at 8 and 15 days. Neither apoptosis nor blood vessel area density showed significant differences in the presence of any of the scaffold variations compared with untreated wounds, providing further evidence that these synthetic biomaterials had no adverse effects on those pivotal wound healing processes. During the critical phase of granulation tissue formation in full thickness porcine excisional wounds, LTI-PUR scaffolds supported tissue infiltration, while undergoing biodegradation. Modifications to scaffold fabrication modify the reparative process. This study emphasizes the biocompatibility and favorable cellular responses of PUR scaffolding formulations in a clinically relevant animal model.
