    Abstract U.S. wildfire activity has increased over the past several decades, disrupting the systems and infrastructure that support community health and resilience. As the cumulative burden of wildfire damage is projected to increase, understanding an effective community recovery process is critically important. Through qualitative interviews with leaders of long-term recovery organizations (LTROs), a key component of wildfire recovery, we explored barriers and facilitators to LTROs' ability to support post-wildfire needs among rural communities. Between February-May 2022, we conducted surveys and semi-structured interviews with 18 leaders from six LTROs serving rural communities in Washington, Oregon, and California impacted by wildfires between 2015-2020. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Culture of Health Framework informed the semi-structured interview guide and

    Abstract U.S. wildfire activity has increased over the past several decades, disrupting the systems and infrastructure that support community health and resilience. As the cumulative burden of wildfire damage is projected to increase, understanding an effective community recovery process is critically important. Through qualitative interviews with leaders of long-term recovery organizations (LTROs), a key component of wildfire recovery, we explored barriers and facilitators to LTROs’ ability to support post-wildfire needs among rural communities. Between February-May 2022, we conducted surveys and semi-structured interviews with 18 leaders from six LTROs serving rural communities in Washington, Oregon, and California impacted by wildfires between 2015–2020. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Culture of Health Framework informed the semi-structured interview guide and a priori codebook, to examine LTROs’ ability to address post-wildfire community needs from a health equity perspective. Additional codes were added through an inductive approach, and emerging themes were identified. Our findings indicate that LTROs face many barriers in addressing community needs post-wildfire, including the policies governing access to and the slow arrival of recovery resources, the intertwined nature of community economic health and built environment restoration, and the challenge of forming a functional LTRO structure. However, participants also identified facilitators of LTROs’ work, including the ability of LTROs and their government partners to adapt policies and procedures, and close collaboration with other community organizations. Factors both internal and external to the community and LTROs’ organizational characteristics influence their ability to address community needs, essential to health, post-wildfire. This study’s findings suggest the need for policy improvements to promote more equitable recovery resource access, that economic recovery should be a core LTRO function, and that recovery planning should be incorporated into ...

    Abstract Aim: This paper highlights integrity as a central tenet in the journey of ethical leadership among nurse leaders and dialogue as a way of working within integrity.
    Background: Nurse leaders play a critical role in ensuring ethically sound, safe patient care by supporting staff and fostering positive working environments. Although there is an abundance of literature on leadership, no universally accepted leadership theory exists. Hence, it can be difficult to apply leadership theory and principals to real-life clinical practice.
    Evaluation: From the literature, it is evident that integrity is a crucial aspect of leadership. This paper proposes suggestions for nurturing integrity and fostering open and honest dialogue.
    Key issues: Globally, public health care is complex and evolving and effective nursing leadership is paramount to meet public health needs and support health care systems.
    Conclusion: This paper explores integrity with leadership, re-envisaging personal and professional integrity as a portal to authentic leadership, which has human relationships and dialogue at its core.
    Implications for nursing management: Nurse leaders need support in guiding the nursing profession and promoting ethically sound patient care. The true nature of leadership is dialogue, and nurturing a culture of listening and openness at different levels within an organisation is crucial.

    Abstract (1) Background: Studying social representations as lay theories allows for a better understanding of the common sense knowledge constructed around mosquito-borne diseases and the impact this may have on attitudes and behaviors. (2) Methods: A hierarchical evocation questionnaire was circulated through an Australian academic community and analyzed by prototypical analysis and correspondence factor analysis. (3) Results: Representational areas are regulated by participant age and whether or not they had contracted a mosquito-borne disease. (4) Conclusions: Collecting and understanding social representations has the potential to help social actors implement strategies that encourage people to access information and adopt behaviors in line with the scientific reality of the phenomenon, rather than limiting lay theories.

    Abstract The continued reports of declining standards of care for culturally diverse patients, highlights the urgent need for nurse educators to critically examine how cultural competence development is facilitated in everyday teaching. Nurses frequently report experiencing difficulties when adapting caring practice to culturally diverse groups. Subsequently, there needs to be a rooting of continuous cultural competence development threaded throughout undergraduate curricula. Simulation pedagogy can be used as a vehicle for nurturing cultural competence, but this requires a review of how culturally responsive simulation is structured and designed. This paper focuses on culturally responsive simulation as a means of improving the preparation of nurses for working in a broadening culturally diverse healthcare context by outlining fundamental considerations when integrating cultural competence development in everyday simulation.

    Abstract Background: Pathogenic variants in the GAP activity towards RAGs 1 (GATOR1) complex genes (DEPDC5, NPRL2, NPRL3) cause focal epilepsy through hyperactivation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin pathway. We report our experience using everolimus in patients with refractory GATOR1-related epilepsy.
    Methods: We performed an open-label observational study of everolimus for drug-resistant epilepsy caused by variants in DEPDC5, NPRL2 and NPRL3. Everolimus was titrated to a target serum concentration (5-15 ng/mL). The primary outcome measure was change in mean monthly seizure frequency compared with baseline.
    Results: Five patients were treated with everolimus. All had highly active (median baseline seizure frequency, 18/month) and refractory focal epilepsy (failed 5-16 prior anti-seizure medications). Four had DEPDC5 variants (three loss-of-function, one missense) and one had a NPRL3 splice-site variant. All patients with DEPDC5 loss-of-function variants had significantly reduced seizures (74.3%-86.1%), although one stopped everolimus after 12 months due to psychiatric symptoms. Everolimus was less effective in the patient with a DEPDC5 missense variant (43.9% seizure frequency reduction). The patient with NPRL3-related epilepsy had seizure worsening. The most common adverse event was stomatitis.
    Conclusions: Our study provides the first human data on the potential benefit of everolimus precision therapy for epilepsy caused by DEPDC5 loss-of-function variants. Further studies are needed to support our findings.

    Abstract Background: At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) of unprecedented scope and duration were implemented to limit community spread of COVID-19. There remains limited evidence about how these measures impacted the lived experience of affected communities. This study captured the early impacts and coping strategies implemented in King County, Washington, one of the first U.S. communities impacted by COVID-19.
    Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional web-based survey of 793 English- and Spanish-speaking adult King County residents from March 18, 2020 -May 30, 2020, using voluntary response sampling. The survey included close- and open-ended questions on participant demographics, wellbeing, protective actions, and COVID-19-related concerns, including a freeform narrative response to describe the pandemic's individual-, family- and community-level impacts and associated coping strategies. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze close-ended questions, and qualitative content analysis methods were used to analyze free-form narrative responses.
    Results: The median age of participants was 45 years old, and 74% were female, 82% were White, and 6% were Hispanic/Latinx; 474 (60%) provided a qualitative narrative. Quantitative findings demonstrated that higher percentages of participants engaged in most types of COVID-19 protective behaviors after the stay-at-home order was implemented and schools and community spaces were closed, relative to before, and that participants tended to report greater concern about the pandemic's physical health or healthcare access impacts than the financial or social impacts. Qualitative data analysis described employment or financial impacts (56%) and vitality coping strategies (65%), intended to support health or positive functioning.
    Conclusions: This study documented early impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the NPIs implemented in response, as well as strategies employed to cope with those impacts, which can inform early-stage policy formation and intervention strategies to mitigate the negative impacts. Future research should explore the endurance and evolution of the early impacts and coping strategies throughout the multiyear pandemic.

    Abstract To investigate the evidence for the effect of omega 3 fatty acids via enteral nutrition on identified outcomes in the very low birthweight preterm infant population. A literature search was conducted in EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Central, PubMed databases for the period of January 1980-November 2017 for all peer-reviewed articles examining preterm infant nutrition. A multidisciplinary volunteer expert Workgroup and staff screened articles according to defined inclusion criteria (randomized controlled trials, enteral fed preterm infants < 1500 gm, economically developed nations). Data was extracted and risk of bias was evaluated for each included article using the Academy's Quality Criteria Checklist and Cochrane's Risk of Bias Tool. Data was summarized and conclusion statements were developed and graded for each identified outcome using the GRADE framework and Academy methodology. The search identified in 25,264 articles, and six studies published in 13 articles were included. Two included studies had low risk of bias. Remaining studies had bias in the following Cochrane domains: attrition (2), detection (3), selection (2), performance (2), and reporting (1). Eleven conclusion statements were developed, 4 were graded as good, 2 as fair, 5 as limited. Though evidence quality describing the effect of 64mg of omega 3s daily on mortality and retinopathy of prematurity was good, there were no significant effects reported [RR (95% CI) was 1.31 (0.88 to 1.96) and 0.96 (0.61, 1.50), respectively]. Similarly, there were no significant effects found for type of fat intake by VLBW infants on bronchopulmonary disease, atopy, necrotizing enterocolitis, anthropometrics, neuro- or visual development or gastrointestinal health. This systematic review revealed high heterogeneity amongst interventions, including in feeding types (formula, formula or human milk, or human milk), mode of supplementation, and amount and composition of supplement (DHA, EPA, ARA, MCT).
