    Abstract Purpose: This survey evaluated whether the COVID-19 pandemic was a traumatic stress event for family physicians associated with burnout, changes in life priorities, and intentions to retreat from clinical practice.
    Methods: We report on 683 clinically active family physicians surveyed through the Council of Academic Family Medicine's Educational Research Alliance (CERA) in the fall of 2021.
    Results: Overall, 35.2% of family physicians experienced the pandemic as a traumatic stress like event. This was associated with changing life priorities (OR 2.6, CI 1.8-3.9), burnout (OR 1.6, CI 1.1 to 2.4), and withdrawal from clinical practice in various ways. Those who changed their priorities in life were more likely to restrict scope of practice (OR 3.9, CI 2.6-5.9), reduce clinical work effort (OR 3.4, 2.3 to 5.1), relocate (OR 3.1, CI 2.0 to 4.8), retire (OR 2.7, CI 1.4-4.9), reroute their career away from patient care (OR 2.1, CI 1.4-3.1) and less likely to avoid redesigning the practice to improve well-being (OR 0.3, CI 0.2-0.7). Those who experienced burnout were more likely to retire (OR 5.5, CI 2.8 to 10.5), reduce clinical work effort (OR 4.2, CI 2.9-6.1), reroute their career away from patient care (OR 3.9, CI 2.6-5.8), relocate (OR 3.8, CI 2.4 to 5.9), and restrict scope of practice (OR 3.3, CI 2.3 to 4.9). Overall, 48.5% of family physicians expressed some intention to retreat from clinical practice.
    Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted family physician's career plans. Remedying burnout is a high-yield opportunity for retaining clinically active family physicians. Physicians retreating from clinical medicine related to changing life's priorities needs further exploration.

    Abstract How sound is generated in the hummingbird syrinx is largely unknown despite their complex vocal behavior. To fill this gap, syrinx anatomy of four North American hummingbird species were investigated by histological dissection and contrast-enhanced microCT imaging, as well as measurement of vocalizations in a heliox atmosphere. The placement of the hummingbird syrinx is uniquely located in the neck rather than inside the thorax as in other birds, while the internal structure is bipartite with songbird-like anatomical features, including multiple pairs of intrinsic muscles, a robust tympanum and several accessory cartilages. Lateral labia and medial tympaniform membranes consist of an extracellular matrix containing hyaluronic acid, collagen fibers, but few elastic fibers. Their upper vocal tract, including the trachea, is shorter than predicted for their body size. There are between-species differences in syrinx measurements, despite similar overall morphology. In heliox, fundamental frequency is unchanged while upper-harmonic spectral content decrease in amplitude, indicating that syringeal sounds are produced by airflow-induced labia and membrane vibration. Our findings predict that hummingbirds have fine control of labia and membrane position in the syrinx; adaptations that set them apart from closely related swifts, yet shows convergence in their vocal organs with those of oscines.

    Abstract The limits on primary production vary in complex ways across space and time. Strong tests of clear conceptual models have been instrumental in understanding these patterns in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Here we present the first experimental test of a new model describing how shifts from nutrient to light limitation control primary productivity in lake ecosystems as hydrological inputs of nutrients and organic matter vary. We found support for two key predictions of the model: that gross primary production (GPP) follows a hump-shaped relationship with increasing dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations; and that the maximum GPP, and the critical DOC concentration at which the hump occurs, are determined by the stoichiometry and chromophoricity of the hydrological inputs. Our results advance fundamental understanding of the limits on aquatic primary production, and have important applications given ongoing anthropogenic alterations of the nutrient and organic matter inputs to surface waters.

    Abstract The medical imaging community has embraced Machine Learning (ML) as evidenced by the rapid increase in the number of ML models being developed, but validating and deploying these models in the clinic remains a challenge. The engineering involved in integrating and assessing the efficacy of ML models within the clinical workflow is complex. This paper presents a general-purpose, end-to-end, clinically integrated ML model deployment and validation system implemented at UCSF. Engineering and usability challenges and results from 3 use cases are presented. A generalized validation system based on free, open-source software (OSS) was implemented, connecting clinical imaging modalities, the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), and an ML inference server. ML pipelines were implemented in NVIDIA's Clara Deploy framework with results and clinician feedback stored in a customized XNAT instance, separate from the clinical record but linked from within PACS. Prospective clinical validation studies of 3 ML models were conducted, with data routed from multiple clinical imaging modalities and PACS. Completed validation studies provided expert clinical feedback on model performance and usability, plus system reliability and performance metrics. Clinical validation of ML models entails assessing model performance, impact on clinical infrastructure, robustness, and usability. Study results must be easily accessible to participating clinicians but remain outside the clinical record. Building a system that generalizes and scales across multiple ML models takes the concerted effort of software engineers, clinicians, data scientists, and system administrators, and benefits from the use of modular OSS. The present work provides a template for institutions looking to translate and clinically validate ML models in the clinic, together with required resources and expected challenges.

    Abstract Benthos of southern Green Bay, Lake Michigan have not been comprehensively examined since 1978. Since then, invasive species appeared, urbanization intensified, and restoration efforts were implemented, which likely altered the benthic macroinvertebrate community. Further, current benthos are subjected to dynamic factors including eutrophication, sedimentation, and periodic hypoxia. Understanding community responses to these anthropogenic stressors and natural habitat gradients is imperative to preserving biological integrity within Green Bay. Therefore, the objectives of this project were to describe the current macroinvertebrate community, examine changes since 1978, and assess the roles of productivity, substrate type, water depth, and hypoxia in structuring macroinvertebrate communities. Benthos were sampled at 197 stations, including 97 also sampled in 1978 by Markert (1982) and 100 that were added to increase spatial resolution. We collected 93 macroinvertebrate taxa in southern Green Bay with the community dominated by Chironomus and immature tubificid worms. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination distinguished present and historical communities. Although oligochaete worms and chironomids remained dominant over time, Chironomus abundance increased and characterized the present community, whereas benthos were historically more diverse. The magnitude of temporal change varied spatially among zones of Green Bay, with larger differences concentrated in the Middle Bay and the Inner Bay remaining comparable to 1978. Present-day assemblages were most associated with the trophic gradient driven by Green Bay’s southernmost tributary, the Fox River, but also differed with substrate type and had similar structures in areas subjected to frequent hypoxia. Routine monitoring should continue to track changes while accounting for spatial effects.
