    Abstract Background: Studies of nurse staffing frequently use data aggregated at the hospital level that do not provide the appropriate context to inform unit-level decisions, such as nurse staffing.
    Objectives: Describe a method to link patient data collected during the provision of routine care and recorded in the electronic health record (EHR) to the nursing units where care occurred in a national dataset.
    Research design: We identified all Veterans Health Administration acute care hospitalizations in the calendar year 2019 nationwide. We linked patient-level EHR and bar code medication administration data to nursing units using a crosswalk. We divided hospitalizations into segments based on the patient's time-stamped location (ward stays). We calculated the number of ward stays and medication administrations linked to a nursing unit and the unit-level and facility-level mean patient risk scores.
    Results: We extracted data on 1117 nursing units, 3782 EHR patient locations associated with 1,137,391 ward stays, and 67,772 bar code medication administration locations associated with 147,686,996 medication administrations across 125 Veterans Health Administration facilities. We linked 89.46% of ward stays and 93.10% of medication administrations to a nursing unit. The average (standard deviation) unit-level patient severity across all facilities is 4.71 (1.52), versus 4.53 (0.88) at the facility level.
    Conclusions: Identification of units is indispensable for using EHR data to understand unit-level phenomena in nursing research and can provide the context-specific information needed by managers making frontline decisions about staffing.

    Abstract Background: By 2035, the number of newly diagnosed cancer cases will double and over 50% will be in older adults. Given this rapidly growing demographic, a need exists to understand how age influences oncology patients' symptom burden. The study purposes were to evaluate for differences in the occurrence, severity, and distress of 38 symptoms in younger (< 60 years) versus older (≥ 60 years) oncology patients undergoing chemotherapy and to evaluate for differences in the stability and consistency of symptom clusters across the two age groups.
    Methods: A total of 1329 patients were dichotomized into the younger and older groups. Patients completed demographic and clinical questionnaires prior to the initiation of their second or third cycle of chemotherapy. A modified version of Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale was used to evaluate the occurrence, severity, and distress of 38 common symptoms associated with cancer and its treatment. Differences between the two age groups in demographic and clinical characteristics and ratings of occurrence, severity, and distress for the 38 symptoms were evaluated using parametric and nonparametric tests. Exploratory factor analyses were done within each age group to identify symptom clusters using symptom occurrence rates.
    Results: Compared to the younger group (14.8 (± 7.0)), older adults reported a lower mean number of symptoms (12.9 (± 7.2)). Older patients experienced lower occurrence rates for almost 50% of the symptoms. Regarding symptom clusters, an eight-factor solution was selected for both age groups. Across the two age groups, the eight symptom clusters (i.e., physical and cognitive fatigue, respiratory, psychological, hormonal, chemotherapy-related toxicity, weight gain, gastrointestinal, epithelial) were stable. However, symptoms within the physical and cognitive, chemotherapy-related toxicity, and gastrointestinal clusters were not consistent across the age groups.
    Conclusions: To be able to provide tailored and effective symptom management interventions to older oncology patients, routine assessments of the core symptoms unique to the symptom clusters identified for this group warrants consideration. The underlying mechanism(s) for these inconsistencies in symptom burden is an important focus for future studies.

    Abstract Purpose: One plausible mechanistic hypothesis is the potential contribution of inflammatory mechanisms to shortness of breath. This study was aimed to evaluate for associations between the occurrence of shortness of breath and perturbations in inflammatory pathways.
    Methods: Patients with cancer reported the occurrence of shortness of breath six times over two cycles of chemotherapy. Latent class analysis was used to identify subgroups of patients with distinct shortness of breath occurrence profiles (i.e., none (70.5%), decreasing (8.2%), increasing (7.8%), high (13.5%)). Using an extreme phenotype approach, whole transcriptome differential gene expression and pathway impact analyses were performed to evaluate for perturbed signaling pathways associated with shortness of breath between the none and high classes. Two independent samples (RNA-sequencing (n = 293) and microarray (n = 295) methodologies) were evaluated. Fisher's combined probability method was used to combine these results to obtain a global test of the null hypothesis. In addition, an unweighted knowledge network was created using the specific pathway maps to evaluate for interconnections among these pathways.
    Results: Twenty-nine Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes inflammatory signaling pathways were perturbed. The mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway node had the highest closeness, betweenness, and degree scores. In addition, five common respiratory disease-related pathways, that may share mechanisms with cancer-related shortness of breath, were perturbed.
    Conclusions: Findings provide preliminary support for the hypothesis that inflammation contribute to the occurrence of shortness of breath in patients with cancer. In addition, the mechanisms that underlie shortness of breath in oncology patients may be similar to other respiratory diseases.

    Abstract This study quantified age-related changes to retinal autophagy using the CAG-RFP-EGFP-LC3 autophagy reporter mice and considered how aging impacts autophagic responses to acute intraocular pressure (IOP) stress. IOP was elevated to 50 mm Hg for 30 minutes in 3-month-old and 12-month-old CAG-RFP-EGFP-LC3 (n = 7 per age group) and Thy1-YFPh transgenic mice (n = 3 per age group). Compared with younger eyes, older eyes showed diminished basal autophagy in the outer retina, while the inner retina was unaffected. Autophagic flux (red:yellow puncta ratio) was elevated in the inner plexiform layer. Three days following IOP elevation, older eyes showed poorer functional recovery, most notably in ganglion cell responses compared to younger eyes (12 months old: -33.4 ± 5.3% vs. 3 months mice: -13.4 ± 4.5%). This paralleled a reduced capacity to upregulate autophagic puncta volume in the inner retina in older eyes, a response that was seen in younger eyes. Age-related decline in basal and stress-induced autophagy in the retina is associated with greater retinal ganglion cells' susceptibility to IOP elevation.

    Abstract Background: Optimal methods for deploying electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) to manage symptoms in routine oncologic practice remain uncertain. The eSyM symptom management program asks chemotherapy and surgery patients to self-report 12 symptoms regularly. Feedback from nurses and patients led to changing the recall period from the past 7 days to the past 24 hours.
    Methods: Using questionnaires submitted during the 16-weeks surrounding the recall period change, we assessed the likelihood of reporting a severe, or a moderate-severe, symptom across all 12 symptoms and separately for the 5 most prevalent symptoms. Interrupted time series analyses modeled the effects of the change using generalized linear mixed-effects models. Surgery and chemotherapy cohorts were analyzed separately. Study-wide effects were estimated using a meta-analysis method.
    Results: In total, 1,692 patients from 6 institutions submitted 7,823 eSyM assessments during the 16-weeks surrounding the recall period change. Shortening the recall period was associated with lower odds of severe symptom reporting in the surgery cohort (OR 0.65; 95% CI 0.46 to 0.93; p = .02) and lower odds of moderate-severe symptom reporting in the chemotherapy cohort (OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.71 to 0.97; p = .02). Among the most prevalent symptoms, 24-hour recall was associated with lower rate of reporting post-operative constipation, but no differences in reporting rates for other symptoms.
    Conclusion: A shorter recall period was associated with a reduction in the proportion of patients reporting moderate-severe symptoms. The optimal recall period may vary depending on whether ePROs are collected for active symptom management, as a clinical trial endpoint, or another purpose. (Clinicaltrails.gov (NCT03850912).

    Abstract The lower respiratory tract is a hierarchical network of compliant tubular structures that are made from extracellular matrix proteins with a wall lined by an epithelium. While microfluidic airway-on-a-chip models incorporate the effects of shear and stretch on the epithelium, week-long air-liquid-interface culture at physiological shear stresses, the circular cross-section, and compliance of native airway walls have yet to be recapitulated. To overcome these limitations, a collagen tube-based airway model is presented. The lumen is lined with a confluent epithelium during two-week continuous perfusion with warm, humid air while presenting culture medium from the outside and compensating for evaporation. The model recapitulates human small airways in extracellular matrix composition and mechanical microenvironment, allowing for the first time dynamic studies of elastocapillary phenomena associated with regular breathing and mechanical ventilation, as well as their impacts on the epithelium. A case study reveales increasing damage to the epithelium during repetitive collapse and reopening cycles as opposed to overdistension, suggesting expiratory flow resistance to reduce atelectasis. The model is expected to promote systematic comparisons between different clinically used ventilation strategies and, more broadly, to enhance human organ-on-a-chip platforms for a variety of tubular tissues.
