    Abstract Food marketing is powerful and prevalent, influencing young people's food attitudes, preferences, and dietary habits. Teenagers are aggressively targeted by unhealthy food marketing messages across a range of platforms, prompting recognition of the need to monitor such marketing. To monitor, criteria for what counts as teen-targeted food marketing content (i.e., persuasive techniques) must first be established. This exploratory study engaged teenagers to explore the "power" of food marketing by identifying what they consider to be teen-targeted marketing techniques within various food marketing examples. Fifty-four teenagers (ages 13-17) participated in a tagging exercise of 19 pre-selected food/beverage advertisements. Assessed in light of age and gender, the results showed clear consistency with what indicators the participants identified when it comes to selecting "teen-targeted" ads-with advertisements most frequently chosen as "teen-targeted" containing humor (particularly irony) and celebrities. When it comes to specific indicators used by teenagers, visual style dominated, standing as the marketing technique with the most "power" for teenagers. The findings shed much needed insight into the elements of power-and more precisely, the specific marketing techniques persuasive to teenagers-which are necessary to inform monitoring efforts and to create evidence-based policy.

    Abstract Objective: To implement a speakers bureau to educate providers, health caregivers, and staff practicing within Tennessee hospitals on evidence-based practice recommendations related to opioid use disorder in pregnancy, postpartum hemorrhage, maternal hypertension, and implicit bias.
    Design: Quality improvement project.
    Setting/local problem: Multiple health care facilities throughout Tennessee, where rates of pregnancy-related mortality are greater than the national average and where Black women are three times as likely as White women to die of pregnancy complications.
    Participants: Speakers (n = 47) included obstetricians, advanced practice providers, and nurses. Program attendees (n = 369) included providers and caregivers representing five health care facilities.
    Intervention/measurements: Speakers were provided standardized training to disseminate best practice methods. Current evidence-based presentations regarding the top maternal mortality concerns were formatted for educational events at five Tennessee health care facilities. Independent outcome measures using electronic survey instruments were collected for speakers and audience participants. Speakers evaluated training methods, and participants evaluated the quality and efficacy of the information provided.
    Results: Based on speaker evaluations, 70.59% rated the quality of training as 5 of 5, and 76.47% rated the relevance of training as 5 of 5. Overall, 16 of 17 (94.1%) speakers stated that adequate training was provided. Analysis of participant evaluations reported that 57.5% were very confident (5/5) that the information learned through the speakers bureau will improve their care of pregnant and postpartum people. Additionally, 71% were very likely (5/5) to apply the information to their practice.
    Conclusion: This project showed the dissemination of best practices by promoting knowledge, supporting practice change, and improving retained information in maternity providers and caregiver participants. Implementation of speakers bureaus to educate providers and caregivers within health care facilities has the potential to influence practice change and decrease maternal morbidity and mortality rates in the state of Tennessee.

    Abstract Lymphomas are a heterogenous group of lymphoid neoplasms with a wide variety of clinical presentations. Response to treatment and prognosis differs both between and within lymphoma subtypes. Improved molecular and genetic profiling has increased our understanding of the factors which drive these clinical dynamics. Immune and non-immune cells within the lymphoma tumor microenvironment (TME) can both play a key role in antitumor immune responses and conversely also support lymphoma growth and survival. A deeper understanding of the lymphoma TME would identify key lymphoma and immune cell interactions which could be disrupted for therapeutic benefit. Single cell RNA sequencing studies have provided a more comprehensive description of the TME, however these studies are limited in that they lack spatial context. Spatial transcriptomics provides a comprehensive analysis of gene expression within tissue and is an attractive technique in lymphoma to both disentangle the complex interactions between lymphoma and TME cells and improve understanding of how lymphoma cells evade the host immune response. This article summarizes current spatial transcriptomic technologies and their use in lymphoma research to date. The resulting data has already enriched our knowledge of the mechanisms and clinical impact of an immunosuppressive TME in lymphoma and the accrual of further studies will provide a fundamental step in the march towards personalized medicine.

    Abstract The development of the human immune system during embryonic and fetal life has historically been difficult to research due to limited access to human tissue. Experimental animal models have been widely used to study development but cellular and molecular programmes may not be conserved across species. The advent of multiomic single-cell technologies and an increase in human developmental tissue biobank resources have facilitated single-cell multiomic studies focused on human immune development. A critical question in the near future is "How do we best reconcile scientific findings across multiple omic modalities, developmental time, and organismic space?" In this review, we discuss the application of single-cell multiomic technologies to unravel the major cellular lineages in the prenatal human immune system. We also identify key areas where the combined power of multiomics technologies can be leveraged to address specific immunological gaps in our current knowledge and explore new research horizons in human development.

    Abstract In efforts to combat eutrophication, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has established aggressive nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment reduction goals for states and regulated dischargers within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Chesapeake Bay jurisdictions are struggling to meet the nutrient (N, P) reduction goals. This paper evaluates the efficacy of removing legacy N from groundwater as a compliance strategy for three potential classes of "buyers" of N reductions in the Chesapeake Bay watershed: permitted point sources, permitted municipal stormwater systems (called MS4s), and state nonpoint source (NPS) managers. We compare denitrifying spring bioreactors with conventional agricultural and urban NPS removal technologies using evaluative criteria important to each of these buyers. Results indicate that spring bioreactors compare favorably to other N removal technologies based on cost effectiveness, administrative costs, and certainty of N removal performance. Most conventional NPS technologies provide greater ancillary benefits. On balance, denitrifying spring bioreactors add a valuable compliance option to those tasked with achieving Bay N reduction goals.

    Abstract Mitapivat, a pyruvate kinase (PK) activator, shows great potential as a sickle cell disease (SCD)- modifying therapy. Safety and efficacy of mitapivat as a long-term maintenance therapy is currently being evaluated in two open-label studies. Here we apply a comprehensive multi-omics approach to investigate the impact of activating PK on red blood cells (RBCs) from 15 SCD patients. HbSS patients were enrolled in one of the open label, extended studies (NCT04610866). Leuko-depleted RBCs obtained from fresh whole blood at baseline (visit 1, V1), prior to drug initiation and longitudinal time points over the course of the study were processed for multiomics through a stepwise extraction of metabolites, lipids and proteins. Mitapivat therapy had significant effects on the metabolome, lipidome and proteome of SCD RBCs. Mitapivat decreased 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG) levels, increased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, and improved hematologic and sickling parameters in patients with SCD. Agreement between omics measurements and clinical measurements confirmed the specificity of mitapivat on targeting late glycolysis, with glycolytic metabolites ranking as the top correlates to parameters of hemoglobin S (HbS) oxygen affinity (p50) and sickling kinetics (t50) during treatment. Mitapivat markedly reduced levels of proteins of mitochondrial origin within 2 weeks of initiation of drug treatment, with minimal changes in the reticulocyte counts. The first six months of treatment also witnessed transient elevation of lysophosphatidylcholines and oxylipins with depletion in free fatty acids, suggestive of an effect on membrane lipid remodeling. Multi-omics analysis of RBCs identified benefits for glycolysis, as well as activation of the Lands cycle.

    Abstract Intensifying land use and accelerated erosion has resulted in increased delivery and deposition of fine terrestrially derived sediment to coastal ecosystems, increasing sediment mud content in estuarine ecosystems. This change in the sedimentary environment is known to have negative consequences for ecosystem functioning. Yet indirect and cyclical relationships between species and the environment are rarely investigated, despite being crucial for understanding ecosystem resilience. We investigate changes in intra‐ and inter‐specific interactions between two key intertidal species (Austrovenus stutchburyi and Macomona liliana) with different but overlapping environmental preferences. We use a large dataset spanning 29 estuaries and 0%–87% mud content to predict the effects of increases in mud. We observed important changes in feedback loops between Austrovenus recent recruits, older individuals, and sediment shell content, and between Macomona and chlorophyll with increasing stress (mud). These loops show different characteristics in the high and low mud content ecosystems and are not apparent in moderate mud. Increases in the number of paths and weaker/more variable relationships between low and moderate mud also occurred. Thus, our moderate (12%–25%) mud content model may be encompassing a transition point in ecosystem dynamics where interaction networks break down and shift to an alternate state.
