    Abstract Introduction: There has been a move to a "flipped classroom" (FC) in medical education. The FC promotes active learning and utilizes independent preparation prior to in-class sessions. Few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of the FC approach in medical education, specifically via virtual learning. The purpose of this study evaluates student and faculty perceptions of the FC approach and relationships between student engagement and performance.
    Method: The first-year medical student psychiatry curriculum was redesigned with an FC approach and subsequently altered by COVID-19 to a virtual learning environment. A mixed-method approach was used to examine both qualitative assessment and quantitative performance data. Students and facilitators were invited to participate in surveys regarding the curriculum changes. Student performance data was collected via quizzes and examinations. Engagement was evaluated by student participation in National Board of Medical Examiners-style multiple-choice questions delivered via Top Hat®. Correlational analyses were used to evaluate associations between engagement and performance.
    Results: Performance on in-class questions was positively associated with class rank and performance (
    Conclusion: Our results demonstrate a positive relationship between engagement and class performance. Students and facilitators positively perceived the approach, with students preferring in-class questions compared to lectures. Future research should evaluate overall performance on standardized tests, third-year clerkships, and number of students matching into psychiatry.

    Abstract Since the initial observations that stimulation of sensory neurons produces vasodilation, plasma extravasation, and hypersensitivity, much progress has been made in understanding the etiology of neurogenic inflammation. Studies have focused largely on the role of the neuropeptides, substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide, which are released in the periphery by activation of small diameter sensory neurons. Recent work, however, has begun to emphasize the cellular mechanisms involved in regulating the release of proinflammatory substances from sensory neurons. In this perspective, discussion centers on a number of inflammatory mediators that activate various signal transduction pathways to augment excitability of and transmitter release from sensory neurons. Emphasis is placed on those pathways where multiple lines of evidence support their importance in initiating neurogenic inflammation. Recent studies, however, support the notion that there are novel compounds released during injury that can stimulate or sensitize sensory neurons. Furthermore, only now are intracellular signaling pathways that have been identified in other cell systems being studied in sensory neurons to establish their role in neurogenic inflammation. The challenge remains to ascertain the critical transduction pathways that regulate transmitter release from sensory neurons since this phenomenon triggers neurogenic inflammation. In addition, the cellular mechanisms involved in alterations in neuronal excitability during injury and the cellular pathways that maintain the inflammatory response over time need to be determined. With these advances, we will be able to develop therapeutic interventions to minimize deleterious consequences of neurogenic inflammation.

    Abstract Central antinociceptive effects of cannabinoids have been well documented. However, relatively little is known about the peripheral effects of the cannabinoids on inflammation. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of peripherally administered cannabinoids on three indices of inflammation: carrageenan-induced thermal hyperalgesia, carrageenan-induced edema, and capsaicin-induced plasma extravasation. In addition, we determined the effect of cannabinoids on capsaicin-evoked neuropeptide release from isolated rat hindpaw skin. Our results indicate that cannabinoids produce antihyperalgesia via interaction with a peripheral CB1 receptor. Peripheral, but not systemic, administration of 0.01 ng anandamide inhibited the induction of hyperalgesia. Peripheral administration of anandamide also attenuated hyperalgesia after its development via interaction with the CB1 cannabinoid receptor subtype as indicated by its reversal with the CB1 receptor antagonist SR 141716A. Additionally, peripheral, but not systemic, administration of 0.01 ng anandamide inhibited edema. Peripherally administered cannabinoids also interacted with CB1 receptors to inhibit capsaicin-evoked plasma extravasation into the hindpaw. One potential mechanism for the anti-inflammatory actions of the cannabinoids is the inhibition of neurosecretion from the peripheral terminals of nociceptive primary afferent fibers. This hypothesis is supported by the finding that anandamide inhibited capsaicin-evoked release of calcitonin gene-related peptide from isolated hindpaw skin. Collectively, these results indicate that cannabinoids reduce inflammation via interaction with a peripheral CB1 receptor. A potential mechanism for this effect is the inhibition of neurosecretion from capsaicin-sensitive primary afferent fibers.
