    Abstract Emerging evidence started to delineate multiple layers of memory B cells, with distinct effector functions during recall responses. Whereas most studies examining long-lived memory B cell responses have focussed on the IgG+ memory B cell compartment, IgM+ memory B cells have only recently started to receive attention. It has been proposed that unlike IgG+ memory B cells, which differentiate into antibody-secreting plasma cells upon antigen re-encounter, IgM+ memory B cells might have the additional capacity to establish secondary germinal centre (GC) responses. The precise function of IgM+ memory B cells in the humoral immune response to malaria has not been fully defined. Using a murine model of severe malaria infection and adoptive transfer strategies we found that IgM+ memory B cells induced in responses to P. berghei ANKA readily proliferate upon re-infection and adopt a GC B cell-like phenotype. The results suggest that that IgM+ memory B cells might play an important role in populating secondary GCs after re-infection with Plasmodium, thereby initiating the induction of B cell clones with enhanced affinity for antigen, at faster rates than naive B cells.

    Abstract Background: A cancer diagnosis carries a significant economic burden. Yet little is known about perceived financial security on the health of couples with a partner diagnosed with cancer.
    Objective: The current study explored perceived financial security in young-midlife couples.
    Methods: The study included 49 couples (aged 27-58 years) 1 to 3 years after diagnosis. Multilevel modeling was used to examine the association of perceived financial security on physical and mental health of couples controlling for interdependent data; hierarchical linear regression was used to examine perceived financial security on survivor symptoms and partner care strain.
    Results: Mean age of survivors was 43.5 (±9.0) years. Most survivors were female (69%) and 2.2 (±0.6) years after diagnosis. Lower levels of perceived financial security were significantly associated with poorer physical (P < .001) and mental (P < .05) health status for survivors, controlling for age, sex, education, and years since diagnosis; there were no significant associations with partner health status. Lower levels of perceived financial security were significantly associated with higher survivor pain severity (P < .001), pain interference (P < .001), and fatigue (P < .01); there was no significant association with partner care strain.
    Conclusions: Financial security plays a role on the physical and mental health of couples after diagnosis.
    Implications for practice: Screening for financial hardship at diagnosis and posttreatment can identify couples at high risk and in need of additional resources and counseling. Greater assessment and reporting of financial security in studies of families surviving cancer are needed to understand the impact on health outcomes.

    Abstract Summary: High-dimensional mass cytometry provides unparalleled insight into the cellular composition of the immune system. Here, we describe a mass-cytometry-based protocol to examine memory CD4+ T cell and memory B cell (MBC) responses in human peripheral blood. This approach allows for the identification of >50 distinct memory CD4+ T cell and MBC populations from a single clinical sample. This highly reproducible protocol has been successfully applied to multiple infectious disease settings to identify correlates of susceptibility or protection from infection.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Ioannidis et al. (2021).

    Abstract Background: Inequity in neonatology may be potentiated within neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) by the effects of bias. Addressing bias can lead to improved, more equitable care. Understanding perceptions of bias can inform targeted interventions to reduce the impact of bias. We conducted a mixed methods study to characterize the perceptions of bias among NICU staff.
    Methods: Surveys were distributed to all staff (N = 245) in a single academic Level IV NICU. Respondents rated the impact of bias on their own and others' behaviors on 5-point Likert scales and answered one open-ended question. Kruskal-Wallis test (KWT) and Levene's test were used for quantitative analysis and thematic analysis was used for qualitative analysis.
    Results: We received 178 responses. More respondents agreed that bias had a greater impact on others' vs. their own behaviors (KWT p < 0.05). Respondents agreed that behaviors were influenced more by implicit than explicit biases (KWT p < 0.05). Qualitative analysis resulted in nine unique themes.
    Conclusions: Staff perceive a high impact of bias across different domains with increased perceived impact of implicit vs. explicit bias. Staff perceive a greater impact of others' biases vs. their own. Mixed methods studies can help identify unique, unit-responsive approaches to reduce bias.
    Impact: Healthcare staff have awareness of bias and its impact on their behaviors with patients, families, and staff. Healthcare staff believe that implicit bias impacts their behaviors more than explicit bias, and that they have less bias than others. Healthcare staff have ideas for strategies and approaches to mitigate the impact of bias. Mixed method studies are effective ways of understanding environment-specific perceptions of bias, and contextual assets and barriers when creating interventions to reduce bias and improve equity. Generating interventions to reduce the impact of bias in healthcare requires a context-specific understanding of perceptions of bias among staff.
