    Abstract Objective: Professional identity formation (PIF) is the process which one internalizes the values and norms of a profession, ultimately becoming a member of that profession. The objective of this study was to determine the perceived professional identities of pharmacists in memes and how pharmacy-related memes affect students' PIF.
    Methods: Student pharmacists from a single academic institution participated in focus groups to discuss the concept of professional identity, view self-submitted pharmacy-related memes, and reflect on the memes' impact on their PIF. An inductive, thematic content analysis was performed, and a theoretical model was developed to illustrate the themes observed.
    Results: Twenty-six student pharmacists participated in the study. Before exposure to the self-submitted memes, the participants described the professional identity of a pharmacist in a more idealistic way, noting pharmacist roles such as medication expert, educator, and patient care provider. After exposure to the memes, the participants' responses reflected a pharmacist identity based on feelings of being antagonized, overwhelmed, and misperceived. Despite these challenges, the participants noted the importance of remaining professional.
    Conclusion: When exposed to pharmacy-related memes, the students' perceptions of the pharmacist identity changed from one based on idealistic roles to an identity based on negative feelings and interactions. Owing to memes' ability to reflect one's experiences, it is important to recognize the impact memes may have on PIF. Further research is needed to determine how pharmacy educators can help students navigate identity dissonances that arise from the students' pharmacy experiences.

    Abstract Organophosphorus nerve agents (OPAs) are a toxic class of synthetic compounds that cause adverse effects with many biological systems. Development of methods for environmental remediation and passivation has been ongoing for years. However, little progress has been made in therapeutic development for exposure victims. Given the postexposure behavior of OPA materials in enzymes such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE), development of electrophilic compounds as therapeutics may be more beneficial than the currently employed nucleophilic countermeasures. In this report, we present our studies with an electrophilic, 16-electron manganese complex (

    Abstract Objective: Self-guided and peer-supported treatments for depression among rural older adults may address some common barriers to treatment. This pilot study compared the effect on depression of peer-supported, self-guided problem-solving therapy (SG-PST) with case management problem-solving therapy (CM-PST) among older adults in rural California.
    Methods: Older adults with depression (N=105) received an introductory PST session with a clinician, followed by 11 sessions of CM-PST with a clinician (N=85) or SG-PST with a peer counselor (N=20).
    Results: Both interventions resulted in clinically significant improvement in depression by week 12. Depression scores in the CM-PST group dropped by 4.1 points more than in the SG-PST group between baseline and week 12 (95% CI=0.99-7.22, p<0.001, Hedges's g=1.08).
    Conclusions: The results suggest that peer-supported SG-PST is a viable, acceptable option for rural older adults with depression as a second-line treatment if access to clinicians is limited.

    Abstract Torpor and hibernation are extreme physiological adaptations of homeotherms associated with pro-longevity effects. Yet the underlying mechanisms of how torpor affects aging, and whether hypothermic and hypometabolic states can be induced to slow aging and increase health span, remain unknown. We demonstrate that the activity of a spatially defined neuronal population in the avMLPA, which has previously been identified as a torpor-regulating brain region, is sufficient to induce a torpor like state (TLS) in mice. Prolonged induction of TLS slows epigenetic aging across multiple tissues and improves health span. We isolate the effects of decreased metabolic rate, long-term caloric restriction, and decreased core body temperature (T

    Abstract Introduction The prevalence of burnout among anesthesiology residents is 41%–51%. Burnout is associated with medical errors, physician turnover, and substance use disorder. Social support and wellness may reduce burnout, but a barrier is support persons’ lack of understanding of an anesthesiologist's work demands. We developed the Family Anesthesia Experience (FAX) to help support persons best support their resident. Methods FAX consisted of a 4-hour event with hands-on experience, didactics portion, and panel discussion. Participants learned about a typical day in the life of an anesthesiology resident, wellness, burnout, substance use disorder, and available support resources, and had hands-on experience with procedures. The panel discussion offered logistical information about anesthesiology residency and allowed support persons to ask panel members questions. A postevent survey collected feedback on the event. Results Fifty-one participants (first-year anesthesiology residents and their support persons) attended the event. Eight of 11 residents (73%) and 32 of 40 support persons (80%) completed the survey. All enjoyed the event, would recommend it to other anesthesiology resident support persons, and felt the event would improve communication and support. Most learned a moderate (35%) to large amount (50%) from the event. Qualitative feedback suggested most support persons found the event helpful in improving their understanding of anesthesiology residents’ work demands. Discussion The FAX was well liked by participants. Although we did not assess specific knowledge gained and long-term effects of the 2022 event, evaluations of previous years’ events suggest that the event improved participants’ understanding of anesthesiology residents’ work and stressors.

    Abstract Productive infections by RNA viruses require faithful replication of the entire genome. Yet many RNA viruses also produce deletion-containing viral genomes (DelVGs), aberrant replication products with large internal deletions. DelVGs interfere with the replication of wild-type virus and their presence in patients is associated with better clinical outcomes as they. The DelVG RNA itself is hypothesized to confer this interfering activity. DelVGs antagonize replication by out-competing the full-length genome and triggering innate immune responses. Here, we identify an additionally inhibitory mechanism mediated by a new class of viral proteins encoded by DelVGs. We identified hundreds of cryptic viral proteins translated from DelVGs. These DelVG-encoded proteins (DPRs) include canonical viral proteins with large internal deletions, as well as proteins with novel C-termini translated from alternative reading frames. Many DPRs retain functional domains shared with their full-length counterparts, suggesting they may have activity during infection. Mechanistic studies of DPRs derived from the influenza virus protein PB2 showed that they poison replication of wild-type virus by acting as dominant-negative inhibitors of the viral polymerase. These findings reveal that DelVGs have a dual inhibitory mechanism, acting at both the RNA and protein level. They further show that DPRs have the potential to dramatically expand the functional proteomes of diverse RNA viruses.

    Abstract Polymeric hydrogels are versatile biomaterials, offering unique advantages in tunability and biocompatibility that make them well-suited to a range of applications. Cross-linking, a fundamental step in hydrogel fabrication, is often initiated using a toxic redox system, ammonium persulfate (APS), and tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED), which hinders hydrogel utility in direct contact with cells (e.g., wound dressings). To overcome this limitation, we developed alternative redox gelation systems that serve as nontoxic replacements for TEMED. The alternate initiators were either synthetic or bioinspired amine-containing polymers, Glycofect and polyethylenimine (PEI). Used with APS, these initiator candidates produced hydrogels with short gelation time and comparable moduli to TEMED-based gels and underwent further mechanical testing and biocompatibility characterization. While achieving mechanical properties similar to those of the control, the gels based on Glycofect and PEI outperformed TEMED-based gels in two cell viability studies, with Glycofect-initiated gels displaying significantly higher cytocompatibility. Taken together, these results indicate that Glycofect may serve as a drop-in replacement for TEMED to fabricate hydrogels with improved biocompatibility.
