Abstract	Save a Child’s Heart (SACH) is a UN-sponsored Israeli non-pro t organization that provides free, life-saving cardiac treatment to children from developing countries who would otherwise be unable to receive sufficient medical care in their home country. SACH utilizes a unique model of care involving several areas of focus including a tertiary care centre in Israel, international screening missions, training local healthcare professionals (HCPs), establishing local care facilities in partner countries, and engaging local and international volunteers. Through these efforts, SACH has been successful in providing cardiac care to 4599 children, training 116 HCPs, and establishing four independent surgical centres internationally. This model has proven its efficacy and can be applied to other tertiary surgical endeavors.

Abstract	Given the social and emotional tolls of the COVID-19 pandemic on college and university students, many students have become academically disengaged during the pandemic. Although some colleges and universities have the capacity to promote social support for their students, research has yet to comprehensively demonstrate the relationship between social support and academic engagement. To fill this gap, we leverage survey results from four universities across the United States and Israel. Through multi-group structural equation modelling, we explore (a) how perceived social support relates to being emotionally unavailable for learning, (b) how this relationship is partially explained through coping and COVID-19 concerns, and (c) how these relationships can differ across countries. We find that students who perceived higher levels of social support had lower rates of being emotionally unavailable for learning. Part of this relationship occurred through greater rates of coping and, subsequently, fewer concerns about the pandemic. We also noticed significant differences in these relationships between countries. We conclude with a discussion of study implications for higher education policies and practices.

Abstract	Introduction Low-income populations have elevated exposure to early life risk factors for obesity, but are understudied in longitudinal research. Our objective was to assess the utility of a cohort derived from electronic health record data from safety net clinics for investigation of obesity emerging in early life. Methods We examined data from the PCORNet ADVANCE Clinical Data Research Network, a national network of Federally-Qualified Health Centers serving >1.7 million safety net patients across the US. This cohort includes patients who, in 2012-2014, had ≥1 valid body mass index measure when they were 0-5 years of age. We characterized the cohort with respect to factors required for early life obesity research in vulnerable subgroups: sociodemographic diversity, weight status based on World Health Organization (<2 years) or Centers for Disease Control (≥2 years) growth curves, and data longitudinality. Results The cohort includes 216,473 children and is racially/ethnically diverse (e.g., 17.9% Black, 45.4% Hispanic). A majority (56.9%) had family incomes below the Federal Poverty Level (FPL); 32% were <50% of FPL. Among children <2 years, 7.6 and 5.3% had high and low weight-for-length, respectively. Among children 2-5 years, 15.0, 12.7 and 2.4% were overweight, obese, and severely obese, respectively; 5.3% were underweight. In the study period, 79.2% of children had ≥2 BMI measures. Among 4-5 year olds, 21.9% had >1 BMI measure when they were <2 years. Discussion The ADVANCE Early Life cohort offers unique opportunities to investigate early life determinants of obesity in the understudied population of low income and minority children.

Abstract	Objective: Creation of a novel 3D-printed physical cochlear model that demonstrated the feasibility of creating the model, and impact of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) system on training insertion metrics. Study design: Feasibility study with a pilot prospective data collection. Setting: Tertiary academic center. Methods: The study was IRB exempt. Five resident trainees (PGY1-PGY5) practiced electrode insertions in cadaveric temporal bones before using the simulator. Nine students were educated on how to hold the electrodes and position them, and then allowed to use the simulator. All trainees were instructed that slower insertions were favorable. One cochlear implant (CI) surgeon used the simulator. The GUI captured the real video feed, but also provided distance, trajectory, and velocity measurements. The program is designed to plot the real-time depth of insertion and speed of insertion of the electrode; the user is also provided real-time occurrence of any kinks and back-outs. Results: A total of 14 trainees and 1 CI surgeon inserted the electrode at least 5 times without the use of the GUI (before) and then at least 5 times with the use of the GUI (after). Average Speed before and after (100.84 and 53.23 mm/s); Average minimum speed before and after (59.34 and 9.65 mm/s); and Average maximum speed before and after (416 and 285.81 mm/s). Statistically significant improvements were noted in all the measured speeds of insertion ( Conclusions: Real-time training using the 3D-printed model and GUI for cochlear implantation can help improve surgical resident training and comfort levels with electrode insertion for surgical trainees. The advantage of this model is that surgeons/trainees can use it as many times as they like, as the whole set-up is easy, economical, and reusable. The real time graphical user interface enhances training and retention of the practiced skills.

Abstract	Background: Distributed ledger technology (DLT) enables the creation of tamper-resistant, decentralized, and secure digital ledgers. A non-fungible token (NFT) represents a record on-chain associated with a digital or physical asset, such as a whole-slide image (WSI). The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) represents an off-chain network, hypermedia, and file sharing peer-to-peer protocol for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system. Today, we need cheaper, more efficient, highly scalable, and transparent solutions for WSI data storage and access of medical records and medical imaging data. Methods: WSIs were created from non-human tissues and H&E-stained sections were scanned on a Philips Ultrafast WSI scanner at 40× magnification objective lens (1 μm/pixel). TIFF images were stored on IPFS, while NFTs were minted on the Ethereum blockchain network in ERC-1155 standard. WSI-NFTs were stored on MetaMask and OpenSea was used to display the WSI-NFT collection. Filebase storage application programing interface (API) were used to create dedicated gateways and content delivery networks (CDN). Results: A total of 10 WSI-NFTs were minted on the Ethereum blockchain network, found on our collection "Whole Slide Images as Non-fungible Tokens Project" on Open Sea: https://opensea.io/collection/untitled-collection-126765644. WSI TIFF files ranged in size from 1.6 to 2.2 GB and were stored on IPFS and pinned on 3 separate nodes. Under optimal conditions, and using a dedicated CDN, WSI reached retrieved at speeds of over 10 mb/s, however, download speeds and WSI retrieval times varied significantly depending on the file and gateway used. Overall, the public IPFS gateway resulted in variably poorer WSI download retrieval performance compared to gateways provided by Filebase storage API. Conclusion: Whole-slide images, as the most complex and substantial data files in healthcare, demand innovative solutions. In this technical report, we identify pitfalls in IPFS, and demonstrate proof-of-concept using a 3-layer architecture for scalable, decentralized storage, and access. Optimized through dedicated gateways and CDNs, which can be effectively applied to all medical data and imaging modalities across the healthcare sector. DLT and off-chain network solutions present numerous opportunities for advancements in clinical care, education, and research. Such approaches uphold the principles of equitable healthcare data ownership, security, and democratization, and are poised to drive significant innovation.

Abstract	The cognitive and performance benefits of group work in undergraduate courses depend on understanding how to structure groups to promote communication and comfort while also promoting diversity and reducing conflict. The current study utilized social network analysis combined with self-reported survey data from 555 students in 155 groups to understand how students identified group members whom they wished to work with. Students' willingness to work with their peers was positively associated with behavioral traits pertaining to attention, participation, and preparedness in class. We tested whether preventing students from choosing their group members until completing a multiweek period of random assignment to different groups each week influenced group selection criteria, and we found little effect. Students continued to depend on demographic similarities such as gender and ethnicity when selecting groupmates and enforcing random interactions before the group formation did not influence group satisfaction and/or grades. Random interactions before group formation did influence the willingness of students to continue working with peers who were persistently poorly rated based on behavioral attributes and contribution to the group work. Thus, the effort of random assignment could be beneficial to identify struggling students and improve collaboration.

Abstract	The population of individuals age 65 and older is increasing in the United States. One third of these individuals will utilize nursing home care before death. Nursing home residents ("NHR") average 1.8 emergency department visits annually. Improving the quality of nursing home care is of vital importance. This project describes a new paradigm for the management of acute emergent health issues affecting NHR. The model features a multidisciplinary team coordinated by emergency providers resulting in a 55% reduction in unplanned hospital admissions compared to skilled nursing facility regional data. Additionally, a reduction in ancillary lab costs was observed. Implementation of this paradigm on a national scale could result in a projected cost savings in excess of $10 billion per year for the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS").
