    Abstract In the last 20 years, the application of high-precision isotopic analysis of essential mineral elements (Mg, K, Ca, Fe, Cu, and Zn) to biomedicine (sometimes referred to as isotope metallomics) has revealed that their stable isotopic compositions are altered by the metal dysregulation that is fundamental to the pathogenesis of many cancers and other diseases. Despite many published works showing the diagnostic and prognostic potential of this approach, a number of factors that may influence the stable isotopic composition of these essential mineral elements in healthy individuals remain unstudied. In this perspective article, we summarize the available evidence from trophic level studies, animal models, and ancient and modern humans, relating to physiological and lifestyle factors that appear likely (there is evidence indicating their influence) or unlikely (there is evidence indicating their lack of influence) to require controlling for when investigating variations in essential mineral element isotopic compositions in human subjects. We also discuss factors that require additional data to properly assess. There is evidence that sex, menopausal status, age, diet, vitamin and metal supplementation, genetic variation, and obesity influence the isotopic composition of at least one essential mineral element in the human body. The task of investigating potential influences on essential mineral element isotopic compositions in the human body is sizeable, but presents an exciting research opportunity, with each incremental advance helping to improve the quality of research output in the context of isotope metallomics.

    Abstract Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is recognized as harmful for the developing brain. Numerous studies have sought environmental and genetic risk factors that predict the development of AUD, but recently identified resilience factors have emerged as protective. This chapter reviews normal processes of brain development in adolescence and emerging adulthood, delineates disturbed growth neurotrajectories related to heavy drinking, and identifies potential endogenous, experiential, and time-linked brain markers of resilience. For example, concurrent high dorsolateral prefrontal activation serving inhibitory control and low nucleus accumbens activation serving reward functions engender positive adaptation and low alcohol use. Also discussed is the role that moderating factors have in promoting risk for or resilience to AUD. Longitudinal research on the effects of all levels of alcohol drinking on the developing brain remains crucial and should be pursued in the context of resilience, which is a promising direction for identifying protective biomarkers against developing AUDs.

    Abstract Metalloporphyrins are often found in nature as coordination recognition sites within biological process, and synthetically offer the potential for use in therapeutic, catalytic and diagnostic applications. While porphyrin containing biological recognition elements have stability limitations, molecularly imprinted polymers bearing these structures offer an alternative with excellent robustness and the ability to work in extreme conditions. In this work, we synthesised a polymerizable porphyrin and metalloporphyrin and have incorporated these as co-monomers within a hydrogel thin-sheet MIP for the specific recognition of bovine haemoglobin (BHb). The hydrogels were evaluated using Scatchard analysis, with K

    Abstract Pluripotent embryonic stem cells have a unique and characteristic epigenetic profile, which is critical for differentiation to all embryonic germ lineages. When stem cells exit the pluripotent state and commit to lineage-specific identities during the process of gastrulation in early embryogenesis, extensive epigenetic remodelling mediates both the switch in cellular programme and the loss of potential to adopt alternative lineage programmes. However, it remains to be understood how the stem cell epigenetic profile encodes pluripotency, or how dynamic epigenetic regulation helps to direct cell fate specification. Recent advances in stem cell culture techniques, cellular reprogramming, and single-cell technologies that can quantitatively profile epigenetic marks have led to significant insights into these questions, which are important for understanding both embryonic development and cell fate engineering. This review provides an overview of key concepts and highlights exciting new advances in the field.

    Abstract Background: Most Australian adults are insufficiently physically active, creating an economic and moral imperative to support exercise care in general practice.
    Objective: To provide an overview of exercise care in general practice to support sustained solutions for patients living with chronic disease.
    Discussion: Exercise care should be considered a fundamental component of high-quality consultations, including assessing, advocating and monitoring for physical activity. Exercise levels and cardiorespiratory fitness can be considered 'vital signs' for tracking over time. Modest gains in physical activity levels have clinical benefits, warranting approaches that engage patients in any amount of time in exercise. Resources are available to support general practitioners (GPs) to incorporate exercise care into routine consultations. GPs can print or save the links provided in this paper and use platforms such as GoShare to connect patients to the resources. Over 15 exercise-specific clinical practice guides are available through The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners' Handbook of non-drug interventions.

    Abstract In this article, we present findings from a retrospective survey of 117 physician leadership development program graduates at the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. The survey was designed to assess how the program contributed to graduates' leadership development, specifically in terms of behaviour change and work-related changes. The themes resulting from the analysis of the open-ended questions reflected that the program led to changes in graduates' leadership behaviour and their ability to lead change in their respective organizations. The study highlighted the benefits of investment in training for physician leaders to advance transformation and improvement initiatives in a changing world.

    Abstract Introduction: Zero Suicide is a strategic framework designed to transform a healthcare system's suicide prevention activities. In 2020, University of Utah Health launched a Zero Suicide program and Counseling on Access to Lethal Means (CALM) training for its employees. In 2022, the healthcare system surveyed its workforce's attitudes toward suicide prevention and CALM. We sought to evaluate employees' attitudes and behaviors toward suicide prevention and CALM training following the launch of the Zero Suicide program.
    Methods: A Zero Suicide Workforce Survey was administered online through REDCap to all University of Utah Health employees. The analytic sample included 3,345 respondents. We used two-portion z-tests to compare the proportions of respondents who (1) completed CALM training and (2) did not yet complete the CALM training because they felt it was irrelevant to their position by different employee characteristics.
    Results: More than half of the respondents in the analytic sample were directly interacting with patients who may be at risk for suicide (57.6%). About 8.4% of the respondents had completed CALM training. Among those who had not yet completed CALM training, 9.5% indicated they did not think CALM was relevant to their job. Respondents knowledgeable about warning signs for suicide and respondents who were confident in their ability to respond when suspecting elevated suicide risk were significantly more likely to complete CALM training.
    Discussion: This evaluation provides important insights from the workforce of a large academic medical center implementing a Zero Suicide program, including insights on opportunities for improving program implementation and evaluation.

    Abstract Gut microbiota are essential to nutrient metabolism and the maintenance of hindgut health. The characterization of faecal bacterial communities from healthy individuals is important for the establishment of baseline data that can be compared to periods of gut dysbiosis. Diet is a key determinant of the faecal microbial community structure and generation of volatile fatty acids, a main energy source for the host. While rhinoceroses are herbivores, black rhinoceroses are browsers and white rhinoceroses are grazers. The objective of our study was to characterize and compare diets, faecal bacterial communities, nutrients and metabolites between and amongst Southern white rhinoceroses and Southern black rhinoceroses (n = 3 rhinos/species) managed at Disney's Animal Kingdom
