    Abstract Introduction: Cognitive decline is a common consequence of aging. Dietary patterns that lack fibers and are high in saturated fats worsen cognitive impairment by triggering pro-inflammatory pathways and metabolic dysfunctions. Emerging evidence highlights the neurocognitive benefits of fiber-rich diets and the crucial role of gut-microbiome-brain signaling. However, the mechanisms of this diet-microbiome-brain regulation remain largely unclear.
    Methods: Accordingly, we herein investigated the unexplored neuroprotective mechanisms of dietary pulses-derived resistant starch (RS) in improving aging-associated neurocognitive function in an aged (60-weeks old) murine model carrying a human microbiome.
    Results and discussion: Following 20-weeks dietary regimen which included a western-style diet without (control; CTL) or with 5% w/w fortification with RS from pinto beans (PTB), black-eyed-peas (BEP), lentils (LEN), chickpeas (CKP), or inulin fiber (INU), we find that RS, particularly from LEN, ameliorate the cognitive impairments induced by western diet. Mechanistically, RS-mediated improvements in neurocognitive assessments are attributed to positive remodeling of the gut microbiome-metabolome arrays, which include increased short-chain fatty acids and reduced branched-chain amino acids levels. This microbiome-metabolite-brain signaling cascade represses neuroinflammation, cellular senescence, and serum leptin/insulin levels, while enhancing lipid metabolism through improved hepatic function. Altogether, the data demonstrate the prebiotic effects of RS in improving neurocognitive function via modulating the gut-brain axis.

    Abstract Background: A script concordance test (SCT) provides a series of clinical vignettes to assess clinical reasoning in uncertainty. Appraised throughout health education literature, SCTs are cognitive assessments of clinical reasoning, though their use in Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) entry-level education has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to develop and explore the reliability and validity of a SCT for first year DPT students.
    Methods: The SCT was developed and implemented over four phases. During phases one and two, DPT program faculty consulted on course content from the first-year curriculum. Thirty clinical vignettes with three follow-up questions each were constructed. The SCT was pilot tested with five clinicians in phase three to assess question clarity. During phase four, the SCT was administered to students and a reference panel via Qualtrics. First year DPT students (n = 44) and reference panel physical therapists with at least two years of experience and advanced certification (n = 15) completed the SCT. Internal consistency was analyzed using Cronbach's Alpha. Differences between student and reference panel percent-correct scores were analyzed with a t-test. Relationships between student SCT scores and academic records were explored with Spearman's Rho.
    Results: The SCT had an internal consistency of 0.74. A significant difference in scores was found between the students [mean 58.5 (+/-5.31)] and reference panel [65.8 (+/-4.88), p < .01]. No significant correlations between student SCT scores and academic records were found.
    Conclusions: The developed SCT was reliable and demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency among test items. The SCT successfully differentiated between groups, with the reference panel demonstrating statistically significant higher percent-correct scores compared to students. SCTs may provide means to measure clinical reasoning in DPT students and lead to novel pedagogical approaches to enhance clinical reasoning.

    Abstract The Kootenai National Forest's (KNF) Rock Creek Project Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) describes the land, people, and resources potentially affected by RC Resources, Inc.'s (RCR) proposed Rock Creek Project. RCR (a subsidiary of Hecla Mining Company) proposes to construct, operate, and reclaim an underground copper and silver mine along with associated facilities (the Rock Creek Project) in northwestern Montana, near Noxon and Sanders County. RCR currently owns the mineral estate for the Rock Creek ore deposit beneath and adjacent to the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness (CMW) in the Cabinet Ranger District of the Kaniksu National Forest, which is administered by the KNF. The Rock Creek Project would include constructing a mill for ore processing, a paste tailings disposal facility, a rail loadout for transportation of concentrate, and water treatment facilities.

    Abstract Importance: The respiratory picornavirus enterovirus D68 is a causative agent of acute flaccid myelitis, a childhood paralysis disease identified in the last decade. Poliovirus, another picornavirus associated with paralytic disease, is a fecal-oral virus that survives acidic environments when passing from host to host. Here, we follow up on our previous work showing a requirement for acidic intracellular compartments for maturation cleavage of poliovirus particles. Enterovirus D68 requires acidic vesicles for an earlier step, assembly, and maintenance of viral particles themselves. These data have strong implications for the use of acidification blocking treatments to combat enterovirus diseases.

    Abstract Picornaviruses rearrange host cell membranes to facilitate their own replication. Here we investigate the Qbc SNARE, SNAP23, which is found at the plasma membrane and plays roles in exocytosis. We found that knockdown of SNAP23 expression inhibits virus replication but not release from cells. Knocking down SNAP23 inhibits viral RNA replication and synthesis of structural proteins. Normal cellular levels of SNAP23 are required for an early step in virus production, prior to or at the stage of virus RNA replication. We report that SNAP23 knockdown generates large, electron-light structures, and that infection of cells with these structures does not alter them, and those cells fail to generate viral RNA replication sites. We suggest that SNAP23 may play a role in maintaining membranes and lipids needed for generating virus replication organelles. Further investigation is needed to determine the precise role of this crucial SNARE protein in EV-D68 replication.

    Abstract Background: Many types of cancer have been found to be associated with being overweight or obese. Literature has demonstrated a reduction in cancer risk in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.
    Objectives: To compare the incidence and types of new cancer diagnoses, cumulative cancer incidence, cancer risk, and overall survival in patients with obesity who underwent bariatric surgery with that of those who did not.
    Setting: Community-based academic medical center.
    Methods: We retrospectively compared the rates and types of new incident cancers in a bariatric surgery cohort (Bariatric group) with those of a non-surgical cohort (Comparison group). The Comparison group was chosen from patients who had a clinic visit in our health system within 30 days of each bariatric surgical operation and matched on age, sex, and body mass index. Patients who had a cancer diagnosis prior to having bariatric surgery were excluded from the Bariatric group and patients who had a cancer diagnosis prior to the clinic visit on which they were matched were excluded from the Comparison group. Relative risk of cancer by type was calculated. Chi-square and Fisher exact tests were used for categorical data analysis, and Wilcoxon rank-sum for continuous data. The Kaplan Meier estimator with the log-rank test was used to compare overall survival between groups, while competing risks survival analysis with the Gray test for equality was used to compare cancer incidence in the Surgery group with that in the Comparison group.
    Results: After matching, the Bariatric group had 1593 patients and the Comparison group had 2156. The Bariatric and Comparison groups had 82 and 222 new incident cancer cases, respectively (P < .001). The 10-year incidence of any new cancer in the Bariatric group was 6.5%, compared with an incidence of 12.1% in the Comparison group (P < .001). Relative risk of cancer in the Bariatric group was lower than that of the Comparison group, with the greatest differences in endometrial (88.8%), kidney (77.4%), thyroid (72.9%), and ductal carcinoma in situ (71.2%) cancers. The 10-year overall survival rate was higher in the Bariatric group than in the Comparison group, 93.3% versus 80.6%, respectively (P < .001).
    Conclusions: Bariatric surgery reduces the risk for developing cancer and offers survival advantage when compared with similar patients who do not undergo bariatric surgery.

    Abstract This study was designed to examine how mind-wandering and its neural correlates vary across tasks with different attentional demands, motivated by the context regulation hypothesis of mind-wandering. Participants (n = 59 undergraduates) completed the sustained attention to response task (SART) and the Stroop selective attention task in counterbalanced order while EEG was recorded. The tasks included experience-sampling probes to identify self-reported episodes of mind-wandering, along with retrospective reports. Participants reported more mind-wandering during the SART than the Stroop and during whichever task was presented second during the session, compared with first. Replicating previous findings, EEG data (n = 37 usable participants) indicated increased alpha oscillations during episodes of mind-wandering, compared with on-task episodes, for both the SART and Stroop tasks. ERP data, focused on the P2 component reflecting perceptual processing, found that mind-wandering was associated with increased P2 amplitudes during the Stroop task, counter to predictions from the perceptual decoupling theory. Overall, the study found that self-report and neural correlates of mind-wandering are sensitive to task context. This line of research can further the understanding of how mechanisms of mind-wandering are adapted to varied tasks and situations.

    Abstract Physical therapy (PT) utilization in patients requiring mechanical circulatory support (MCS) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been reported; however, little is known about intensive rehabilitation and associated outcomes in patients requiring extended complex MCS and/or ECMO support.
    Authors sought to explore safety, feasibility and outcomes associated with active rehabilitation in patients requiring prolonged advanced MCS/ECMO support.
    Single-center retrospective series evaluated functional, clinical, and longitudinal outcomes of sample of eight critically ill, adult (≥18 years of age) patients who underwent a intensive rehabilitation while receiving prolonged MCS/ECMO through advanced configurations including: venovenous (VV-ECMO), venoarterial (VA-ECMO), oxygenator with right ventricular assist device (Oxy-RVAD) and right ventricular assist device (RVAD).
    406 sessions were conducted; 246 during provision of advanced MCS/ECMO support.
    Incidence of major adverse events-accidental decannulation, migration of cannulas, circuit failure, hemorrhage, major flow limitations, and major hemodynamic instability-was 1.2 events per 100 sessions. None of reported major adverse events impeded longitudinal ability to participate in PT. Increased time to PT initiation was associated with a statistically significant increase in intensive care unit (ICU) length-of-stay (β1 1.93, CI 0.55-3.30) and reduced ambulatory distance during last session on MCS/ECMO (β1 -47.64, CI - 93.93, -1.66). All patients survived to hospital discharge and 12 months from sentinel hospitalization. Amongst those patients discharged to an inpatient rehabilitation center (
    Findings support the safety and feasibility of active rehabilitational PT in patients requiring extended durations of advanced MCS/ECMO support. Moreover, it highlights potentially associated benefits of this degree of intensive rehabilitation for these unique patients. Further investigation is needed to identify associations with longitudinal clinical outcomes, as well as predictors of success in this population.
