    Abstract Epidemiologic studies have reported that moderate alcohol consumption is inversely associated with the risk of renal cancer. However, there is no information available on the associations in renal cancer subsites. From 1992 to 2010, 477,325 men and women in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort were followed for incident renal cancers (n = 931). Baseline and lifetime alcohol consumption was assessed by country-specific, validated dietary questionnaires. Information on past alcohol consumption was collected by lifestyle questionnaires. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated from Cox proportional hazard models. In multivariate analysis, total alcohol consumption at baseline was inversely associated with renal cancer; the HR and 95% CI for the increasing categories of total alcohol consumption at recruitment vs. the light drinkers category were 0.78 (0.62-0.99), 0.82 (0.64-1.04), 0.70 (0.55-0.90), and 0.91 (0.63-1.30), respectively, (ptrend = 0.001). A similar relationship was observed for average lifetime alcohol consumption and for all renal cancer subsites combined or for renal parenchyma subsite. The trend was not observed in hypertensive individuals and not significant in smokers. In conclusion, moderate alcohol consumption was associated with a decreased risk of renal cancer.

    Abstract Purpose: Increasingly, states outsource administration of Medicaid insurance to privately administered Medicaid managed care organizations. However, on January 1, 2012, Connecticut transitioned from a privately to publicly administered Medicaid system. New Jersey retained a private model.
    Methods: Our objective was to assess rates of early-stage cancer diagnosis and cancer survival in two states with similar sociodemographic characteristics but differing exposures to Medicaid privatization. Using data from the SEER Program between 2007 and 2016, Connecticut and New Jersey Medicaid patients with 10 common solid cancers including breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, kidney, bladder, cervix, uterus, head and neck cancer, and melanoma were included. A difference-in-differences analysis of stage of cancer presentation and cancer survival in Connecticut (intervention) was compared with New Jersey (control).
    Results: Among 29,328 patients (14,424 patients from Connecticut and 14,904 patients from New Jersey) parallel trends were verified in early cancer diagnosis and survival for both states under privately administered Medicaid (pre-exposure). Connecticut's transition from privately to publicly administered Medicaid was associated with an adjusted 4.0% increase in overall early-stage cancer diagnosis (95% CI, +1.7% to +6.2%) and a 4.7% increase in early-stage cancer diagnosis for cancers with US Preventive Services Taskforce A/B recommendations for cancer screening (95% CI, 1.6% to 7.8%). Public administration of Medicaid was also associated with improved overall survival after cancer diagnosis (hazard ratio, 0.92 [95% CI, 0.85 to 0.99]). No changes were observed in New Jersey.
    Conclusion: Transition from private to public administration of Medicaid in Connecticut was associated with earlier-stage cancer diagnosis and improved cancer survival.

    Abstract An emerging intervention for control of airborne-mediated pandemics and epidemics is whole-room far-UVC (200-235 nm). Laboratory studies have shown that 222-nm light inactivates airborne pathogens, potentially without harm to exposed occupants. While encouraging results have been reported in benchtop studies and in room-sized bioaerosol chambers, there is a need for quantitative studies of airborne pathogen reduction in occupied rooms. We quantified far-UVC mediated reduction of aerosolized murine norovirus (MNV) in an occupied mouse-cage cleaning room within an animal-care facility. Benchtop studies suggest that MNV is a conservative surrogate for airborne viruses such as influenza and coronavirus. Using four 222-nm fixtures installed in the ceiling, and staying well within current recommended regulatory limits, far-UVC reduced airborne infectious MNV by 99.8% (95% CI: 98.2-99.9%). Similar to previous room-sized bioaerosol chamber studies on far-UVC efficacy, these results suggest that aerosolized virus susceptibility is significantly higher in room-scale tests than in bench-scale laboratory studies. That said, as opposed to controlled laboratory studies, uncertainties in this study related to airflow patterns, virus residence time, and dose to the collected virus introduce uncertainty into the inactivation estimates. This study is the first to directly demonstrate far-UVC anti-microbial efficacy against airborne pathogens in an occupied indoor location.

    Abstract Introduction: Effective cross-cultural care is foundational for mitigating health inequities and providing high-quality care to diverse populations. However, medical school teaching practices vary widely, and learners have limited opportunities to develop these critical skills. To understand the current state of cross-cultural education and to identify potential opportunities for improvement, we disseminated a validated survey instrument among medical students at a single institution.
    Methods: Learners across 4 years of medical school participated in the cross-cultural care assessment, using a tool previously validated with resident physicians and modified for medical students. The survey assessed medical student perspectives on (1) preparedness, (2) skillfulness, and (3) educational curriculum and learning environment. Cross-sectional data were analyzed by class year, comparing trends between school years.
    Results: Of 700 possible survey responses, we received 260 (37% response rate). Fourth-year students had significantly higher scores than first-year students (
    Discussion: Medical students reported a lack of readiness to provide cross-cultural care, with self-assessed deficiencies persisting through the fourth year of medical school. Medical educators can use data from the cross-cultural care survey to longitudinally assess students and enhance curricular exposures where deficiencies exist. Optimizing cross-cultural education has the potential to improve the learning environment and overall patient care.
