    Abstract Objective: Among patients with coronary heart disease, we sought to address the research questions of: 1) What is the acceptability of applying a technology-enabled approach to support medication adherence?; and 2) What are barriers to medication adherence using the Capability-Opportunity-Motivation Behavior (COM-B) model as a guiding framework?
    Methods: Applying qualitative research methods, we employed a series of 3 focus groups per individual (total 9 sessions). Coded data from thematic analysis were mapped to the COM-B model components for meaningful associations.
    Results: Fourteen participants were recruited (median age 69.5 ± 11, 50% female). Barriers to medication adherence were organized along these COM-B domains: psychological capability (forgetfulness, distractions, fear of side effects), physical opportunity (inaccessible medications, inability to renew prescriptions), reflective (burdening family members), and automatic motivation (medication fatigue, health decline).
    Conclusions: Tailored text messaging and mobile phone apps were perceived as helpful tools for medication adherence. The COM-B model was useful to provide a comprehensive, theory-driven evaluation of patients' beliefs and motivations on whether to engage in medication adherence.
    Innovation: To date, text messaging and mobile applications have not been widely implemented in the clinical setting and provide a major opportunity to innovate on approaches to address medication adherence.

    Abstract The Cell Division Cycle and Apoptosis Regulator (CCAR) protein family members have recently emerged as regulators of alternative splicing and transcription, as well as having other key physiological functions. For example, mammalian CCAR2/DBC1 forms a complex with the zinc factor protein ZNF326 to integrate alternative splicing with RNA polymerase II transcriptional elongation in AT-rich regions of the DNA.

    Abstract Prediction is critical for successful interactions with a dynamic environment. To test the development of predictive processes over the life span, we designed a suite of interceptive tasks implemented as interactive video games. Four tasks involving interactions with a flying ball with titrated challenge quantified spatiotemporal aspects of prediction. For comparison, reaction time was assessed in a matching task. The experiments were conducted in a museum, where over 400 visitors across all ages participated, and in a laboratory with a focused age group. Results consistently showed that predictive ability improved with age to reach adult level by age 12. In contrast, reaction time continued to decrease into late adolescence. Inter-task correlations revealed that the tasks tested different aspects of predictive processes. This developmental progression complements recent findings on cerebellar and cortical maturation. Additionally, these results can serve as normative data to study predictive processes in individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions.

    Abstract Agricultural value chains worldwide provide essential support to livelihoods, ecosystem services, and the growing bioeconomy. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic slowed down or reversed decades of agricultural growth and exposed the vulnerabilities of farmers and the food insecure in Africa, thus reiterating the need to build resilience, agility, and adaptability for a sustainable agriculture. Existing social, political, environmental, and economic challenges demonstrate that a path to faster sustainable growth is increased productivity through improved input quality, of which technical inputs are a part. This work presents a perspective calling for African innovative competence in technological and methodological applications and solutions as part of the most critical area of a holistic organization for social progress. It finds that while performances of previous agricultural transformation efforts offer insights for future directions, novel pathways fitting to the diversity of situations and contexts on the continent are needed. These may include vertical agriculture in land-constrained regions to grow high-value products, ocean or sea farming in coastal regions, development of multiple-harvesting crops, and self-replicating plants. Developing standards that integrate current scientific methodologies and technologies with indigenous knowledge for agricultural growth and disaster management will bring the complementary benefits of both worlds into optimal development.

    Abstract Parents' emotion regulation and emotional experiences have important consequences for family well-being and child outcomes. Little is known about whether traitlike emotion regulation abilities predict statelike experiences of real-time negative emotion. Using ecological momentary assessment (EMA), this study examines associations between mothers' self-reported emotion regulation abilities and their real-time experiences of negative emotion, as well as the moderating role of caregiving context among 145 mothers (41% Hispanic; 31% earned below $40,000) of young children (mean age = 20.9 months) across a 10-day period. Results indicated that on average, mothers who report high levels of traitlike rumination and difficulties in emotion regulation also report more statelike negative emotion. Further, the presence of children weakened the associations between mothers' traitlike reports of emotion dysregulation and statelike EMA negative emotion reports. The findings demonstrate the importance of parents' emotion regulation for supporting family well-being, especially when parents are separated from their children; the findings may have implications for developing family interventions.

    Abstract A growing body of research is exploring the potential added health benefits of exercise when performed outdoors in nature versus indoors. This systematic review aimed to compare the effects of exercise in outdoor environments versus indoor environments on psychological health, physical health, and physical activity behaviour. We searched nine databases from inception to March 2021 for English language, peer-reviewed articles: MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, SportsDiscus, GreenFile, and CENTRAL. We included randomized and non-randomized trials that compared multiple bouts of exercise in outdoor versus indoor environments, and that assessed at least one outcome related to physical health, psychological health, or physical activity behaviour. Due to minimal outcome overlap and a paucity of studies, we performed a narrative synthesis. We identified 10 eligible trials, including 7 randomized controlled trials, and a total of 343 participants. Participant demographics, exercise protocols, and outcomes varied widely. In the 10 eligible studies, a total of 99 comparisons were made between outdoor and indoor exercise; all 25 statistically significant comparisons favoured outdoor exercise. Interpretation of findings was hindered by an overall high risk of bias, unclear reporting, and high outcome heterogeneity. There is limited evidence for added health or behaviour benefits of outdoor exercise versus indoor exercise. Rigorous randomized controlled trials are needed with larger samples and clear reporting.

    Abstract Background: This study characterizes the potential loss of velar length in patients with a wide cleft and rescue of this loss of domain by local flap reconstruction, providing anatomic evidence in support of primary lengthening of the soft palate during palatoplasty.
    Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of all patients with a cleft palate at least 10mm in width, who underwent primary palatoplasty with a buccal flap prior to 18 months of age over a 2-year period. All patients underwent primary palatoplasty with horizontal transection of the nasal mucosa, which was performed after nasal mucosa repair, but prior to muscular reconstruction. The resulting palatal lengthening was measured and the mucosal defect was reconstructed with a buccal flap.
    Results: Of the 22 patients included, 3 (13.6%) had a history of Pierre Robin sequence, and 5 (22.7%) had an associated syndrome. No patients had a Veau I cleft, 7 (31.8%) had a Veau II, 12 (54.5%) had a Veau III, and 3 had (13.6%) a Veau IV cleft. All patients had a right buccal flap during primary palatoplasty. The mean cleft width at the posterior nasal spine was 10.6  ±  2.82mm, and mean lengthening of the velum after horizontal transection of the nasal mucosa closure was 10.5  ±  2.23mm. There were 2 (9.1%) fistulas, 1 (4.5%) wound dehiscence, 1 (4.5%) 30-day readmission, and no bleeding complications.
    Conclusions: Patients with a wide cleft palate have a potential loss of 1cm velar length. The buccal flap can rescue the loss of domain in palatal length, and potentially improve palatal excursion.

    Abstract Background: Blood lipids are dysregulated in pulmonary hypertension (PH). Lower high-density lipoproteins cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoproteins cholesterol (LDL-C) are associated with disease severity and death in PH. Right ventricle (RV) dysfunction and failure are the major determinants of morbidity and mortality in PH. This study aims to test the hypothesis that dyslipidemia is associated with RV dysfunction in PH.
    Methods: We enrolled healthy control subjects (n=12) and individuals with PH (n=30) (age: 18-65 years old). Clinical characteristics, echocardiogram, 2-[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (PET) scan, blood lipids, including total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), lipoproteins (LDL-C and HDL-C), and N-terminal pro-B type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) were determined.
    Results: Individuals with PH had lower HDL-C [PH, 41±12; control, 56±16 mg/dL,
    Conclusion: These findings confirm dyslipidemia is associated with worse right ventricular function in PH.
