    Abstract The maintenance of a more or less constant internal environment by homeostatic (negative feedback) mechanisms is well understood, and "homeostasis" is regarded as an important core concept for students to understand. However, there are critically important control mechanisms that operate at the local level and are more or less independent of homeostasis. Here we define a core concept of "local control," present examples of it in many different organ systems, and propose a conceptual framework for it. Local control, like all of the other core concepts, can provide students with a learning tool that can facilitate understanding physiology.

    Abstract Anesthesiologists are experiencing first-hand the aging population, given older patients more frequently presenting for surgery, often with geriatric syndromes influencing their anesthetic management. The overall incidence and health burden of cancer morbidity and mortality are also rapidly increasing worldwide. This growth in the cancer population, along with the associated risk factors and comorbidities often accompanying a cancer diagnosis, underscores the need for anesthesiologists to become well versed in the preoperative evaluation and management of the adult patient with cancer. This article will focus on the unique challenges and opportunities for the anesthesiologist caring for the adult oncology patient presenting for surgery.

    Abstract Introduction: Data-driven neuropsychological methods can identify mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subtypes with stronger associations to dementia risk factors than conventional diagnostic methods.
    Methods: Cluster analysis used neuropsychological data from participants without dementia (mean age = 71.6 years) in the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) Uniform Data Set (n = 26,255) and the "normal cognition" subsample (n = 16,005). Survival analyses examined MCI or dementia progression.
    Results: Five clusters were identified: "Optimal" cognitively normal (oCN; 13.2%), "Typical" CN (tCN; 28.0%), Amnestic MCI (aMCI; 25.3%), Mixed MCI-Mild (mMCI-Mild; 20.4%), and Mixed MCI-Severe (mMCI-Severe; 13.0%). Progression to dementia differed across clusters (oCN < tCN < aMCI < mMCI-Mild < mMCI-Severe). Cluster analysis identified more MCI cases than consensus diagnosis. In the "normal cognition" subsample, five clusters emerged: High-All Domains (High-All; 16.7%), Low-Attention/Working Memory (Low-WM; 22.1%), Low-Memory (36.3%), Amnestic MCI (16.7%), and Non-amnestic MCI (naMCI; 8.3%), with differing progression rates (High-All < Low-WM = Low-Memory < aMCI < naMCI).
    Discussion: Our data-driven methods outperformed consensus diagnosis by providing more precise information about progression risk and revealing heterogeneity in cognition and progression risk within the NACC "normal cognition" group.

    Abstract Disparities in pancreatic cancer incidence and outcomes exist in Native American populations. These disparities are multifactorial, difficult to quantify, and are influenced by historical, socioeconomic, and health care structural factors. The objective of this article was to assess these factors and offer a call to action to overcome them. The authors reviewed published data on pancreatic cancer in Native American populations with a focus on disparities in incidence, outcomes, and research efforts. The historical context of the interactions between Native Americans and the United States health care system was also analyzed to form actionable items to build trust and collaboration. The incidence of pancreatic cancer in Native Americans is higher than that in the general US population and has the worst survival of any major racial or ethnic group. These outcomes are influenced by a patient population with often poor access to high-quality cancer care, historical trauma potentially leading to reduced care utilization, and a lack of research focused on etiologies and comorbid conditions that contribute to these disparities. A collaborative effort between nontribal and tribal leaders and cancer centers is key to addressing disparities in pancreatic cancer outcomes and research. More population-level studies are needed to better understand the incidence, etiologies, and comorbid conditions of pancreatic cancer in Native Americans. Finally, a concerted, focused effort should be undertaken between nontribal and tribal entities to increase the access of Native Americans to high-quality care for pancreatic cancer and other lethal malignancies.

    Abstract Given the disproportionate rate of alcohol misuse among veterans and related outcomes as compared to the general population, the examination of predictors of alcohol misuse in this population is imperative. Potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs), defined as severe transgressions of a moral code, have been positively associated with alcohol misuse. Exposure to PMIEs may challenge one's religious beliefs, which may, in turn, influence the strength of the association between PMIEs and alcohol misuse among military veterans. The goal of the current study was to examine the potential moderating role of religiosity in the association between PMIEs and alcohol misuse (i.e., alcohol consumption, drinking behaviors, adverse reactions to drinking, and alcohol-related problems). Participants were 496 military veterans in the community (M

    Abstract Francisella tularensis is a zoonotic, facultative intracellular bacterial pathogen that replicates in a variety of cell types during infection. Following entry into the cell and phagosome escape, the bacterium replicates rapidly in the cytoplasm. F. tularensis intracellular growth depends on the availability of metabolizable essential nutrients to support replication. However, the mechanism by which metabolizable nutrients become available to the bacterium in the intracellular environment is not fully understood. We found that F. tularensis-infected cells had significantly smaller and fewer lipid droplets than uninfected cells. Inhibition of triacylglycerol degradation significantly reduced bacterial growth, whereas inhibition of triacylglycerol formation did not reduce bacterial growth, suggesting that triacylglycerols sequestered within lipid droplets are important nutrient sources for F. tularensis. We found that F. tularensis-infected cells had increased activation of lipolysis and the upstream regulatory protein AMP protein kinase (AMPK). These data suggest that F. tularensis exploits AMPK activation and lipid metabolism to use host-derived nutrients. Finally, we found that AMPK activation is correlated with an increased bacterial burden, which suggests that it is a host-mediated response to nutrient starvation that results from increased bacterial replication. Altogether, we conclude that F. tularensis exploits AMPK activation to access nutrients sequestered in lipid droplets, specifically glycerol and fatty acids, to undergo efficient bacterial replication and cause successful infection.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Hazardous substance use is a major public health concern among individuals with a history of sexual victimization. Although increased religiosity has been known to serve as a protective factor against hazardous substance use, religious individuals with a history of sexual victimization may be at a greater risk for hazardous substance use due to difficulties reconciling sexual victimization with their religious beliefs. Individuals with greater trauma-related shame may engage in hazardous substance use as a means of coping with the traumatic event.
    Method: The present study consisted of 614 participants (M
    Results: Results suggested that organizational, nonorganizational, and intrinsic religiosity were positively associated with hazardous alcohol use at higher, but not lower, levels of trauma-related shame. Organizational and intrinsic religiosity were positively associated with hazardous drug use at higher, but not lower, levels of trauma-related shame.
    Conclusions and scientific significance: This is the first study to examine the role of trauma-related shame in the relationship between religiosity and hazardous substance use. The findings underline the importance of targeting trauma-related shame in religious individuals with a history of sexual victimization.
