    Abstract We have performed a direct measurement of the ^{19}Ne(p,γ)^{20}Na reaction in inverse kinematics using a beam of radioactive ^{19}Ne. The key astrophysical resonance in the ^{19}Ne+p system has been definitely measured for the first time at E_{c.m.}=456_{-2}^{+5}  keV with an associated strength of 17_{-5}^{+7}  meV. The present results are in agreement with resonance strength upper limits set by previous direct measurements, as well as resonance energies inferred from precision (^{3}He, t) charge exchange reactions. However, both the energy and strength of the 456 keV resonance disagree with a recent indirect study of the ^{19}Ne(d, n)^{20}Na reaction. In particular, the new ^{19}Ne(p,γ)^{20}Na reaction rate is found to be factors of ∼8 and ∼5 lower than the most recent evaluation over the temperature range of oxygen-neon novae and astrophysical x-ray bursts, respectively. Nevertheless, we find that the ^{19}Ne(p,γ)^{20}Na reaction is likely to proceed fast enough to significantly reduce the flux of ^{19}F in nova ejecta and does not create a bottleneck in the breakout from the hot CNO cycles into the rp process.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in pregnancy is associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality, and its risks can be mitigated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. Vaccination against COVID-19 in pregnancy results in protection against both maternal and neonatal SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as maternal critical illness. Vaccination during pregnancy is safe, with no documented risks of pregnancy loss, preterm delivery, congenital anomalies, or other adverse perinatal outcomes. For these reasons, COVID-19 vaccination is recommended in pregnancy by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, as well as other national and international professional organizations. In this review, we will summarize the published literature demonstrating the benefit and safety of these vaccines.

    Abstract Zoos and aquariums have an enormous global reach and hence an ability to craft meaningful conservation action for threatened species, implement educational strategies to encourage human engagement, development and behavior change, and conduct scientific research to enhance the husbandry, roles and impacts of the living collection. The recreational role of the zoo is also vast- people enjoy visiting the zoo and this is often a shared experience amongst family and friends. Evaluating how the zoo influences this "captive audience" and extending its reach to include a compassionate approach to animals and people can further enhance the mission, value, and relevance of their work. The modern zoo's current aims-Conservation, Education, Research and Recreation-provide useful foundations for the activities that zoos conduct at a local and national level. However, to improve sustainability of their actions and outcomes, we feel that Wellbeing should become the fifth aim of the modern zoo for the future- both from an animal perspective (ensuring that populations are managed according to prevailing behavioral needs) and from a human perspective (enhancing access to nature, promoting planetary friendly behavior changes and ways of living, and advancing the wellbeing of the zoo's workforce). This paper provides discussion and review of how Wellbeing is already a substantial part of what zoos work on as well as posing the idea of altering the Recreation aim of the zoo to one of Engagement, which potentially is more measurable and therefore can allow zoo researchers and managers further options for the collection of evidence on the local and global reach of their zoo's aims. Education, Engagement, Conservation, Research and Wellbeing provide a more complete picture of the roles of the modern zoo for the animals (both

    Abstract Background: Traditionally, novice perfusionists learn and practice clinical skills, during live surgical procedures. The profession's accrediting body is directing schools to implement simulated cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) into the curriculum. Unfortunately, no CPB simulation models have been validated. Here we describe the design and application of a CPB simulation model.
    Methods: A CPB patient simulator was integrated into a representative operative theater and interfaced with a simple manikin, a heart-lung machine (HLM), clinical perfusion circuitry, and equipment. Participants completed a simulation scenario designed to represent a typical CPB procedure before completing an exit survey to assess the fidelity and validity of the experience. Questions were scored using a 5-point Likert scale.
    Results: Participants (n = 81) contributed 953 opinions on 40 questions. The participants reported that the model of simulated CPB (1) realistically presented both the physiologic and technical parameters seen during CPB (n = 347, mean 4.37, SD 0.86), (2) accurately represented the psychological constructs and cognitive mechanisms of the clinical CPB (n = 139, mean 4.24, SD 1.08), (3) requires real clinical skills and reproduces realistic surgical case progression (n = 167, mean 4.38, SD 0.86), and (4) would be effective for teaching, practicing, and assessing the fundamental skills of CPB (n = 300, mean 4.54, SD 0.9). Participants agreed that their performance in the simulation scenario accurately predicted their performance in a real clinical setting (n = 43, mean 4.07, SD 1.03) CONCLUSION: This novel simulation model of CPB reproduces the salient aspects of clinical CPB and may be useful for teaching, practicing, and assessing fundamental skills.

    Abstract Background: Neuraxial anesthesia with reactivation of a labor epidural catheter is commonly utilized for postpartum tubal ligations (PPTL), although the optimal anesthetic approach is unknown. We assessed institutional anesthesia practices for PPTL, and evaluated the failure rates of reactivation of labor epidural catheters, de novo spinal anesthesia, and spinal anesthesia after failed blocks.
    Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort analysis of 300 consecutive patients who underwent a PPTL and 100 having spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Anesthetic management data (existing labor epidural catheter reactivation, de novo spinal anesthesia or general anesthesia) were collected from electronic medical records. Anesthetic block failure rates were determined for each anesthetic technique.
    Results: The failure rate was 15% for de novo spinal anesthesia and 23% after failed reactivation of a labor epidural catheter or spinal anesthesia. The epidural catheter reactivation failure rate was 35%. The failure rate of spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery was 4%. Drug dosage, epidural catheter use in labor, time since epidural catheter placement or delivery, labor neuraxial technique (combined spinal-epidural, epidural), supplemental top-up doses during labor, and anesthesiologist experience did not predict neuraxial anesthesia failures.
    Conclusions: Our analysis revealed an unexpectedly high neuraxial anesthesia failure rate even when de novo spinal anesthesia was used for PPTL. The results are consistent with other institutions' recent findings, and are higher than spinal anesthesia failure rates associated with cesarean delivery. Further studies are required to determine optimal anesthesia dosing strategies, and to understand the mechanisms behind high neuraxial anesthesia failures for PPTL.

    Abstract Malignancy during pregnancy complicates approximately 0.1% of patients. Primary tumors of the trachea comprise only 0.2% of respiratory system malignancies. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is an adenocarcinoma that can originate from the seromucinous submucosal glands of the trachea and cause airway obstruction. Here we present the collaborative operative management of a Cesarean section delivery for a patient with critical airway obstruction secondary to ACC.

  9. Article ; Online: Unequal loss: Disparities in relational closeness to a COVID-19 death among U.S. older adults.

    Abstract: ... bereavement among older adults at various degrees of relational closeness (e.g., spouse vs. household member ...

    Abstract Background: COVID-19 mortality occurred unevenly across U.S. demographic subgroups, leaving some communities harder hit than others. Black and Hispanic/Latino older adults are among those disproportionately affected by COVID-19 mortality, and in turn, COVID-19 bereavement. Because disparities in COVID-19 mortality may extend to COVID-19 bereavement, it is important to understand the incidence of COVID-19 bereavement among older adults at various degrees of relational closeness (e.g., spouse vs. household member vs. friend).
    Methods: We used the National Social Health and Aging Project (NSHAP) COVID Study to evaluate disparities in loss of a social network member to COVID-19 among U.S. older adults by race/ethnicity, language, and relational closeness. Multiple logistic regression was used to estimate the likelihood of experiencing a COVID-19 death in one's social network.
    Results: None of the English-speaking, non-Hispanic White respondents reported the loss of a household member or spouse to COVID-19. English-speaking, non-Hispanic Black and English-speaking, Hispanic older adults were overrepresented in reporting a death at every degree of relational closeness. However, close COVID-19 bereavement was most prevalent among Spanish-speaking older adults of any race. Although Spanish speakers comprised only 4.8% of the sample, half of the respondents who lost a spouse to COVID-19 were Spanish speakers. Language and ethnoracial group disparities persisted after controlling for age, sex, marital status, and education.
    Conclusions: Known ethnoracial disparities in COVID-19 mortality extend to COVID-19 bereavement among older adults. Because bereavement impacts health, Black, Latino, and Spanish-speaking communities need greater protection and investment to prevent disparities in bereavement from exacerbating disparities in later-life mental and physical health.

    Abstract We examine the response of rural Ugandan households to a large aggregate shock, the Covid-19 pandemic, during and one year after the first lockdown in March 2020. Using 6 rounds of phone surveys from 558 households in western Uganda, we find that household income recovery from the lockdown differs by whether households had a business pre-pandemic. After an initial sharp fall, the incomes of those without a business have recovered to pre-pandemic levels. However, the relatively better-off households with a business before the pandemic still have one-third lower income, due to sustained closure of businesses even after the end of the first lockdown restrictions. Additionally, business-owning households have 30% lower wealth one-year into the pandemic, driven by 44% lower assets, 45% drop in savings, and a 15 fold increase in net-borrowing, suggesting long-term damage. Our findings point to the need to support households who face dwindling finances to fall back on.
