    Abstract Teachers often encourage students to use test-taking strategies during reading comprehension assessments, but these strategies are not always evidence-based. One common strategy involves teaching students to read the questions before reading an associated passage. Research findings comparing the passage-first (PF) and questions-first (QF) strategies are mixed. The present study employed eye-tracking technology to record 84 third- and fourth-grade participants' eye movements (EMs) as they read a passage and responded to multiple-choice (MC) questions using PF and QF strategies in a within-subject design. Although there were no significant differences between groups in accuracy on MC questions, EM measures revealed that the PF condition was superior to the QF condition for elementary readers in terms of efficiency in reading and responding to questions. These findings suggest that the PF strategy supports a more comprehensive understanding of the text. Ultimately, within the PF condition, students required less time to obtain the same accuracy outcomes they attained when reading in the QF condition. School psychologists can improve reading comprehension instruction by encouraging the importance of teaching children to gain meaning from the text rather than search the passage for answers to MC questions.

    Abstract Reliable and responsive outcome measures that accurately detect changes in disease state, activity, and damage are crucial to conducting observational and interventional trials that can directly transform care for children with rheumatic disease. A combination of consensus-based and direct measurement approaches has led to the development of several validated, composite outcome measures in juvenile idiopathic arthritis, juvenile dermatomyositis, childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus, and pediatric vasculitis. This review outlines clinician-reported, disease-specific outcome measures developed for these conditions.

    Abstract We prospectively analyzed clinical and laboratory characteristics associated with cardiac involvement and severe presentation in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. Of 146 patients, 66 (45.2%) had cardiac dysfunction and 26 (17.8%) had coronary artery abnormalities. Lower serum albumin levels, absolute lymphocyte and platelet counts, and elevated ferritin, fibrinogen, d-dimer and interleukin-6 levels were associated with cardiac dysfunction. Possible treatment complications were identified.

    Abstract Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has become the rheumatologists's "Swiss army knife" when it comes to managing the rheumatologic manifestations of SLE and other auto-immune disorders. By contrast, nephrologists are much less comfortable in managing the multifaceted effect of HCQ. As a result, nephrologists are inclined to abdicate their responsibility for HCQ management, if this therapy was initiated by a rheumatologist. This report describes such a situation, which had devastating consequences for the patient. On this basis we suggest that this report is a story worth telling, and should encourage the nephrologist to be more involved in their patients' HCQ management.

    the case of blue carbon

    Abstract Over the past decade, the ecosystem services frame has had a tremendous and increasing influence on environmental governance and decision making. Yet the ecosystem services governance literature reveals key tensions related to scale, stakeholder identification and engagement, knowledge of ecosystem services, and dissemination of the framework. Those challenges remain unresolved in policy makers', nonprofit managers', and even researchers' understanding of how this emergent framework functions when put into practice. Understanding empirically the factors that influence uptake of this concept by stakeholders in a variety of contexts remains a key gap in the literature. Using coastal blue carbon as a case study, we assess barriers to and enabling factors for the uptake of the ecosystem service concept among stakeholders: local, place-based coastal conservation organizations. Through semi-structured interviews with individuals of coastal conservation organizations in two U.S. regions, we collected data that, upon analysis, suggest a typology of five barriers to action on blue carbon. Those are barriers related to (1) structural issues (time, finances, and access to other resources); (2) expertise and/or technical abilities; (3) politics and political beliefs; (4) personal motivation and identity; and (5) localism. Our results also suggest two necessary conditions for action within a local organization: a connection to a research laboratory and an awareness of, or connection to, a national backbone organization. As a whole, our work makes clear that, in the United States, the concept of ecosystem services remains far from the mainstream for local, place-based coastal conservation organizations. We also find specific challenges to realizing the promises of this emergent framework.

    Abstract Castleman disease is a non-clonal, lymphoproliferative disorder rarely seen in children. Presented is a 12-year-old male with progressive abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever. Diagnostic testing revealed multi-organ system involvement and the diagnosis was ultimately made with tissue biopsy. Marked disease regression occurred after high-dose steroids and continued interleukin-6 inhibition.

    Abstract While the mainstream U.S. environmental movement has long promoted land conservation, a growing focus considers its intersections with social and political issues. In this study, we examine the ways in which land trusts (private nonprofit conservation organizations) engage with justice, equity, and access in their work, and how such issues interact with long-standing priorities of biodiversity and land conservation. Using survey data from the Land Trust Alliance's 2015 Census, we find the following to be associated with greater likelihood of reporting justice, equity, and access impact: protecting land in urban areas, drawing on a broad base of volunteers and visitors, and prioritizing local community work over broader landscape-scale conservation efforts. Supported by qualitative data collected through interviews with six land trusts, we found three primary areas of tradeoffs that land trusts consider when incorporating justice-focused work into conservation priorities: scale of impact, capacity, and public access. Ultimately, we propose a series of individual and systemic recommendations to more effectively navigate these tradeoffs and promote just and equitable practices.

    Abstract Repeated reading (RR) procedures are consistent with the procedures recommended by Haring and Eaton's (1978) Instructional Hierarchy (IH) for promoting students' fluent responding to newly learned stimuli. It is therefore not surprising that an extensive body of literature exists, which supports RR as an effective practice for promoting students' reading fluency of practiced passages. Less clear, however, is the extent to which RR helps students read the words practiced in an intervention passage when those same words are presented in a new passage. The current study employed randomized control design procedures to examine the maintenance and generalization effects of three interventions that were designed based upon Haring and Eaton's (1978) IH. Across four days, students either practiced reading (a) the same passage seven times (RR+RR), (b) one passage four times and three passages each once (RR+Guided Wide Reading [GWR]), or (c) seven passages each once (GWR+GWR). Students participated in the study across 2weeks, with intervention being provided on a different passage set each week. All passages practiced within a week, regardless of condition, contained four target low frequency and four high frequency words. Across the 130 students for whom data were analyzed, results indicated that increased opportunities to practice words led to greater maintenance effects when passages were read seven days later but revealed minimal differences across conditions in students' reading of target words presented within a generalization passage.

    Abstract Objective: Polyautoimmunity (PA) with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is reported as a poor prognostic factor, but little is known about its effect in childhood-onset SLE (cSLE). We describe PA in cSLE within the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) Legacy Registry and evaluate its association to lupus disease outcomes.
    Methods: CARRA Legacy Registry is the largest pediatric rheumatology registry that collected data at enrollment and every 6 months thereafter. We describe the co-occurrence of selected autoimmune disorders (autoimmune thyroid diseases, autoimmune hepatitis, celiac disease and type 1 diabetes mellitus) in cSLE. To assess outcomes, we studied measures of lupus disease activity, complications, and patient's quality of life (QoL). Comparisons by PA status were made using chi-square, Fisher's exact test, two-sample t-tests, Wilcoxon rank sum tests, and mixed effects models as appropriate.
    Results: 1285 patients met the American College of Rheumatology criteria for SLE. Of those, 388 (30%) had data on comorbidity. The prevalence of PA was 8.8%. Patients with PA reported more hospitalizations and aggressive immunotherapy use. SLEDAI and PGA scores improved over time, but did not differ by PA status. No significant differences were found in QoL measures or their trajectory over time by PA status.
    Conclusion: In cSLE, PA is associated with more hospitalizations and aggressive immunotherapy use. Although lupus disease activity improved over time, patients' QoL neither improved over time nor differed by having other autoimmune disease. Prospective, case-control, long-term follow-up studies on cSLE are needed to validate our results.

    Abstract Objective: This study seeks to assess rheumatology fellows' (RFs') and program directors' (PDs') interests in different educational tools and methods and to facilitate curriculum development for reproductive health related to rheumatic disease.
    Methods: Constructs were conceptualized in four dimensions: 1) RF and PD confidence in their current curriculum relating to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Reproductive Health Guidelines (RHGs), 2) personal interest in this topic, 3) opinions of the importance of this topic, and 4) interest in a range of learning materials and educational experiences. The final survey was distributed to 753 RFs and 179 PDs in the United States using the ACR Committee on Training and Workforce email list.
    Results: Response rates were 13% (n = 98) for RFs and 25% (n = 44) for PDs. Both groups indicated more interest in the topic than confidence in their curriculum and rated summary sheets, question banks, didactics, and online modules higher than nine other educational tools or methods. Despite interest in the topic, 38% of RF respondents and 24% of PD respondents were unaware of the recently published ACR RHGs.
    Conclusion: RFs and PDs consider reproductive health very important and report high personal interest in this topic. In contrast, both groups indicated lower confidence in current curricula, and substantial proportions of both groups were unaware of recently published guidelines. RFs' and PDs' interests in specific educational modalities are aligned. Curriculum development efforts should prioritize summary sheets, question banks, didactics, and online modules. Efforts are needed to address the educational needs of practicing rheumatologists and other professionals caring for patients with rheumatic disease.
