    Abstract Objective: Otoscopic skills are essential for ENT doctors. Early-stage doctors develop skills whilst treating patients, with minimal teaching, potentially increasing risk to patients. Simulation allows skill development without patient risk; however, simulation often requires subjective expert review of technique. This study compared enhanced low-fidelity simulation with performance feedback against standard simulation using a basic otoscopy skills simulator.
    Methods: Two low-fidelity ear simulators were created: a basic model without feedback and an enhanced model which alarms when the aural instrument tip touches the canal wall. Participants were evaluated in a randomised crossover pilot study, using both models to assess whether objective feedback reduced tip touches.
    Results: The enhanced simulator reduced tip touches more than the control model, suggesting better and more sustained skill uptake. Participants reported that the enhanced model improved learning.
    Conclusion: Enhanced low-fidelity models provide a low-cost opportunity to improve otoscopy skills without patient risk or the need for subjective expert feedback.

    Abstract Antibody-secreting plasma cells are a central component of short- and long-term adaptive immunity. Yet, many fundamental questions about how activated B cells decide to yield functional plasma cells have yet to be answered. Likewise, the biochemical processes underpinning the ability of plasma cells to generate and secrete large numbers of antibodies, the capacity of some plasma cell to sustain antibody secretion, presumably without interruption, for decades, and the capacity of long-lived plasma cells to avoid apoptosis despite the high-energy demands associated with sustained robust antibody synthesis and secretion each remain mysterious processes. Our objective here is to review what is currently known about these processes with an emphasis on the earliest phases of plasma cell genesis. Along the way, we will work toward developing a model that ties the biochemistry of plasma cell function and survival. The chief idea imbedded in this model is that progress toward understanding plasma cell survival mechanisms may require increased focus on the unique cell autonomous processes inherent in plasma cell differentiation and function.

    Abstract The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ) is proposed to deplete activated B cells and plasma cells. However, a complete picture of the mechanisms underlying BTZ-induced apoptosis in B lineage cells remains to be established. In this study, using a direct in vitro approach, we show that deletion of the tumor suppressor and cell cycle regulator p53 rescues recently activated mouse B cells from BTZ-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, BTZ treatment elevated intracellular p53 levels, and p53 deletion constrained apoptosis, as recently stimulated cells first transitioned from the G1 to S phase of the cell cycle. Moreover, combined inhibition of the p53-associated cell cycle regulators and E3 ligases MDM2 and anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome induced cell death in postdivision B cells. Our results reveal that efficient cell cycle progression of activated B cells requires proteasome-driven inhibition of p53. Consequently, BTZ-mediated interference of proteostasis unleashes a p53-dependent cell cycle-associated death mechanism in recently activated B cells.

    Abstract Implementation and sustaining impact of early childhood nutrition interventions in practice remains a challenge. An understanding of the extent to which determinants across multiple levels of the food system are being addressed may improve success. This literature review aimed to synthesise the evidence on interventions targeting dietary intake and eating behaviours in preschool children using a systems approach. Eligible studies included intervention studies targeting the dietary intake of preschool children aged 2-5 years in high income countries, published in English after January 2000. Interventions were categorised to the Determinants of Nutrition and Eating (DONE) framework for children developed and evaluated by experts across multiple fields. The framework maps and ranks 411 factors driving eating behaviours and nutrition and can be used to systematically summarise determinants. DONE ranks each determinant for its perceived research priority. A total of 160 eligible studies were identified. Most interventions targeted interpersonal (n = 101, 63.1%) and individual (n = 85, 53.1%) level determinants, with fewer targeting environmental (n = 55, 34.4%) and policy level (n = 17, 10.6%) determinants. The most frequently addressed determinants were Parental Resources and Risk Factors (n = 85) and Children's Food Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (n = 67). These determinants had a Moderate research priority rating. Home Food Availability and Accessibility at the environmental level is classified as the highest research priority, however, only 15 of 160 interventions addressed this determinant. This review highlights home food availability and accessibility as potential leverage points for future interventions to improve children's dietary intake and eating behaviours.

    Abstract In many ways, memory B cells represent the ultimate outcome of humoral immunity. Many of these cells express exceptionally high affinity antigen-specific B cell receptors for antigen, and these cells are a critical source of the long-lived plasma cells that secrete protective serum antibodies to protect against secondary exposure to pathogens and other life-threatening antigens. Evidence is now emerging that not all memory B cells are created via the same cellular pathways and molecular events. Similarly, it is becoming clear that different memory B cells can take on different functions, with some producing IgM rather than IgG antibodies upon reactivation, and others preferentially producing plasma cells rather than additional waves of memory B cells. With this review, we discuss the conceptual ides and early studies surrounding early work on B cell memory, then discuss the many pathways and functional attributes of subpopulations of memory B cells and current approaches to characterize these cells directly.

    Abstract Despite new immunotherapies aimed at B and T cells, plasma cells and their lifelong antibody secretion constitute a major immune barrier to long-term graft survival. In this mini-review, we survey the recent advances that have been made in the biology and immunometabolism of long-lived plasma cells, and outline aspects of plasma cell function that can be exploited for clinical benefit in recipients of solid organ transplants. A handful of ongoing studies are already targeting plasma cells to achieve desensitization and reduce the alloantibody burden in individuals posttransplant. In reviewing the recent strides made in our understanding of the molecular basis of plasma cell survival, we will place our discussions in the context of existing preclinical and clinical studies.
