    Abstract Medical personnel often experience stress when responding to a medical emergency. A known stress-response is a measurable reduction in heart rate variability. It is currently unknown if crisis simulation can elicit the same stress response as real clinical emergencies. We aim to compare heart rate variability changes amongst medical trainees during simulated and real medical emergencies. We performed a single center prospective observational study, enrolling 19 resident physicians. Heart rate variability was measured in real time, using a 2-lead heart rate monitor (Bodyguard 2, Firstbeat Technologies Ltd) worn during 24 h critical care call shifts. Data was collected at baseline, during crisis simulation and when responding to medical emergencies. 57 observations were made to compare participant's heart rate variability. Each heart rate variability metric changed as expected in response to stress. Statistically significant differences were observed between baseline and simulated medical emergencies in Standard Deviation of the N-N interval (SDNN), Root mean square standard deviation of the N-N interval (RMSSD), Percentage of successive R-R intervals that differ by more than 50 ms (PNN50), Low Frequency (LF) and Low Frequency: High Frequency ratios (LF:HF). No statistically significant differences between simulated and real medical emergencies were identified in any heart rate variability metrics. We have shown using objective results, that simulation can elicit the same psychophysiological response as actual medical emergencies. Therefore, simulation may represent a reasonable way to practice not only essential skills in a safe environment but has the additional benefit of creating a realistic, physiological response in medical trainees.

    Abstract Chronic oropharyngeal dysphagia (COD) and aspiration after esophageal cancer surgery may have clinical significance; however, it is a rarely studied topic. In a prospective cross-sectional observational study we comprehensively evaluated the nature, severity, and impact of COD, its predictors, and the impact of the surgical approach and site of anastomosis. Forty participants were recruited via purposive sampling from the (Irish) National Center between November 2021 and August 2022. Swallow evaluations included videofluoroscopy [Dynamic Imaging Grade of Swallowing Toxicity v2 (DIGESTv2), MBS Impairment Profile, Penetration-Aspiration Scale)]. Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) identified oral intake status. The patient reported outcome measures of swallowing, and Quality of Life (QL) included EAT-10 and MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI). Fourteen (35%) participants presented with COD on DIGESTv2 and 10% had uncleared penetration/aspiration. Avoidance or modification of diet on FOIS was observed in 17 (42.5%). FOIS was associated with pharyngeal dysphagia (OR = 4.05, P = 0.046). Median (range) EAT-10 and MDADI Composite results were 3(0-30) and 77.9(60-92.6), respectively. Aspiration rates significantly differed across surgical groups (P = 0.029); only patients undergoing transhiatal surgery aspirated. Survivors of esophageal cancer surgery may have COD that is undiagnosed, potentially impacting swallow-related QL. Given the small number of aspirators, further research is required to determine whether aspiration risk is associated with surgical approach. A FOIS score below 7 may be a clinically useful prompt for the MDT to refer for evaluation of COD following curative intent surgery. These data present findings that may guide preventive and rehabilitative strategies toward optimizing survivorship.

    Abstract The prospect of incorporating pennycress as an oilseed cover crop in the Midwest's corn-soybean rotation system has drawn researcher and farmer attention. The inclusion of pennycress will be beneficial as it provides an excellent soil cover to reduce soil erosion and nutrient leaching while serving as an additional source for oilseed production and income. However, pennycress is an alternative host for soybean cyst nematode (SCN), which is a major biological threat to soybean that needs to be addressed for sustainable pennycress adoption into our current production systems. To develop a standardized SCN resistance screening strategy in pennycress, we tested and optimized five parameters: (i) germination stimulants, (ii) inoculation timing, (iii) inoculation rate, (iv) experimental incubation time, and (v) susceptible checks. The standardized SCN resistance screening protocol includes the following: (i) treating pennycress seeds with gibberellic acid for 24 h, (ii) transplanting seedlings 12 to 15 days after initiating germination and inoculating 10 to 12 days after transplantation, (iii) inoculating at a rate of 1,500 eggs/100 cc soil (1,500 eggs per plant), (iv) processing roots at 30 days after inoculation, and (v) using susceptible pennycress accession Ames 32869 to calculate the female index. The standardized protocol was used to quantify the response of a diverse set of pennycress accessions for response against SCN HG type 1.2.5.7 and HG type 7. While there were no highly resistant pennycress lines identified, 15 were rated as moderately resistant to HG type 1.2.5.7, and eight were rated moderately resistant to HG type 7. The resistant lines identified in this study could be utilized to develop SCN-resistant pennycress cultivars. The study also opens a new avenue for research to understand SCN-pennycress interactions through molecular and genomic studies. This knowledge could aid in the successful inclusion of pennycress as a beneficial cover/oilseed crop in the United States Midwest.[Formula: see text] Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).

    Abstract Introduction: Healthcare teams include both leaders and followers, with followers making up the majority of the healthcare team. There are five followership styles which have been described by Kelly (1992) based on critical thinking and active engagement. We aim to explore if a relationship exists between followership style and burnout, and also with job satisfaction of followers within the critical care setting. Additionally, we aim to quantify the distribution of followership types amongst followers within the critical care setting.
    Methods: Participants were recruited in person at random to participate in a single centered, cross sectional, four-part survey to determine their followership type (Kelly followership type), burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory) and job satisfaction (Brayfiled-Rothe Survey and Work and Meaning Inventory). Correlations between followership type and burnout as well as followership type and job satisfaction were then determined.
    Results: A total of 64 participants (27 residents and 37 critical care nurses) took part in the study. There was a weak-moderate correlation between independent critical thinking and personal accomplishment (R = 0.297), and moderate correlation to meaningful work (R = 0.390), and job satisfaction (R = -0.300). Active engagement was moderately correlated with personal accomplishment (R = 0.302), meaningful work (R = 0.448) and job satisfaction (R = -0.418). Neither independent critical thinking nor active engagement showed significant correlation with depersonalization and emotional exhaustion subscales. Most participants were characterized into effective/exemplary followership type with no statistically significant differences between nurses and residents.
    Conclusion: This research shows that by creating an environment which promotes critical thinking and active engagement, nurses and residents may display less burnout, and enhanced job satisfaction.

    Abstract Background: Variation in affective response to exercise partially explains high levels of inactivity. Examining ways to improve affective responses to physical activity is, therefore, an important direction for research aiming to promote exercise behavior.
    Purpose: This study compares three strategies: mindfulness, distraction, and an associative focus comparison group as potential strategies to improve affective response to exercise and promote exercise behavior.
    Methods: Seventy-eight insufficiently active individuals (M age 26.82, 74% female) were randomly assigned to one of the following three conditions: (a) mindfulness, (b) distraction, or (c) associative attentional focus. The study was divided into two phases, a laboratory session in which participants learned their assigned strategy and completed a 30 min supervised exercise bout and an at-home intervention in which participants used their assigned strategy while exercising on their own for 2 weeks and filled out daily surveys.
    Results: Seventy-five participants completed the study. The central hypotheses were partially supported. Participants in the mindfulness and distraction conditions maintained more positive affective response to exercise over time compared to participants in the associative focus condition, whose affect became less positive over time (p = .04). Participants in the distraction condition experienced lower perceived exertion during exercise (p = .01). There were no condition differences in self-reported minutes exercised during follow-up, but participants in the mindfulness condition reported exercising for more days during the follow-up compared to the associative focus condition (p = .01).
    Conclusions: These findings suggest individuals wishing to increase their cardiovascular exercise could engage in mindfulness or distraction in order to make exercise feel less difficult and/or more affectively pleasant.

    Abstract There remains an urgent need for effective communication about the importance of widespread adherence to behavioral recommendations to control the COVID-19 pandemic that will also reduce resistance to such guidance. We examined two strategies for COVID-19 communication- (1) self-affirmation (reflecting on a personal value in order to boost self-integrity and reduce defensiveness to potentially threatening information); and (2) manipulating self/other message framing - and moderation of these strategies by COVID-19 risk. 600 participants (

    Abstract The development of long-lived electrochemical energy storage systems based on renewable materials is integral for the transition toward a more sustainable society. Supercapacitors have garnered considerable interest given their impressive cycling performance, low cost, and safety. Here, the first example of a chiral nematic activated carbon aerogel is shown. Specifically, supercapacitor materials are developed based on cellulose, a non-toxic and biodegradable material. The chiral nematic structure of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is harnessed to obtain free-standing hierarchically ordered activated carbon aerogels. To impart multifunctionality, iron- and cobalt-oxide nanoparticles are incorporated within the CNC matrix. The hierarchical structure remains intact even at nanoparticle concentrations of ≈70 wt%. The aerogels are highly porous, with specific surface areas up to 820 m

    Abstract Background: Individuals are regularly exposed to conflicting information about health; however, understanding of how individuals respond to different types of conflicting information is limited.
    Methods: In total, 1027 US adults were randomly assigned to 1 of 8 conflicting information messages about nutrition and cancer risk, depicting 1/4 conflicting information types (conflict in evidence - sources A and B agree the evidence is mixed; conflict between two expert sources - sources A and B present conflicting evidence about nutrition and cancer risk; conflict within the same expert source - source A changes its own recommendation about the evidence; no conflict control) crossed by 1/2 baseline recommendations with which new information conflicted (limit vs. do not limit red meat intake to reduce cancer risk).
    Results: Compared to the control, each conflicting information type led to lower perceived scientific consensus about how much red meat one should eat (p < .001); conflict in evidence (p = .004) and between sources (p = .006) led to lower trust in scientists. Intentions to consume red meat more frequently were higher in the conflicting information conditions than control in the group initially told to "limit red meat" and lower in the "do not limit red meat" group (p = .022). Conflict within the same source led to higher perceived scientific consensus compared to conflict in evidence (p = .007) and between sources (p = .013); it also lowered intentions to consume red meat more frequently compared to conflict in evidence, but only in the "do not limit red meat" condition (p = .033). Conflict in evidence (p = .007) and within the same source (p = .013) increased cancer fatalism compared to conflict between sources.
    Conclusions: Conflict in scientific evidence and conflict arising from the same expert source (e.g., a changing public health guideline) may have pernicious effects. Future efforts could investigate how best to publicly communicate these instances of scientific conflict to minimize negative impact.
