    Abstract In the two decades since a novel thalidomide analog was last approved, many promising drug candidates have emerged with remarkable potency as targeted protein degraders. Likewise, the advent of PROTACs for suppressing 'undruggable' protein targets reinforces the need for new analogs with improved cereblon affinity, target selectivity and drug-like properties. However, thalidomide and its approved derivatives remain plagued by several shortcomings, such as structural instability and poor solubility. Herein, we present a review of strategies for mitigating these shortcomings and highlight contemporary drug discovery approaches that have generated novel thalidomide analogs with enhanced efficacy as cereblon effectors and/or anticancer agents.

    Abstract Adult zebrafish fins fully regenerate after resection, providing a highly accessible and remarkable vertebrate model of organ regeneration. Fin injury triggers wound epidermis formation and the dedifferentiation of injury-adjacent mature cells to establish an organized blastema of progenitor cells. Balanced cell proliferation and redifferentiation along with cell movements then progressively reestablish patterned tissues and restore the fin to its original size and shape. A mechanistic understanding of these coordinated cell behaviors and transitions requires direct knowledge of proteins in their physiological context, including expression, subcellular localization, and activity. Antibody-based staining of sectioned fins facilitates such high-resolution analyses of specific, native proteins. Therefore, such methods are mainstays of comprehensive, hypothesis-driven fin regeneration studies. However, section immunostaining requires labor-intensive, empirical optimization. Here, we present detailed, multistep procedures for antibody staining and co-detecting proliferating cells using paraffin and frozen fin sections. We include suggestions to avoid common pitfalls and to streamline the development of optimized, validated protocols for new and challenging antibodies.

    Abstract Cover crops have been promoted for use in agricultural systems due to both environmental and economic opportunities. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) growers in West Tennessee faced challenges in 2015 and 2016 with cover crop termination management which resulted in failed cotton stands. The objective of this experiment was to determine effects of cover crop termination timing and method on cotton emergence, development, and yield. Field experiments were conducted from 2018 to 2020 in both small plot and on‐farm scenarios across West Tennessee. Cover crop termination timings consisted of an at‐planting termination, 3 weeks prior to planting, and both a broadcast and furrow‐strip termination 6 weeks prior to planting. The cover crop termination methods consisted of chemical termination, mechanical termination, and chemical + mechanical termination. At‐planting termination reduced emergence by 25% and delayed maturity of 65% of the stand relative to a 6‐week broadcast termination. Mechanical termination reduced emergence by 26% and delayed maturity of 26% of the stand relative to the chemical and chemical plus mechanical termination treatments. Thrips injury ratings were greater in cotton following a chemical + mechanical termination of the cover crop. Damage from three‐cornered alfalfa hoppers (Sissistilus festinus) was less prevalent in cotton following cover crops terminated 6 weeks prior to planting in a broadcast method compared to other timings. While early season effects were observed, end‐of‐season yield differences were not noted. Still, producers in short season environments should be aware of the higher level of risk associated with at‐planting terminations or terminations.

    Abstract Ventricular assist devices (VAD) complications including stroke, device failure, gastrointestinal bleeding, and infection all can manifest in the outpatient environment. Often, first responders do not have the knowledge base to respond appropriately. This study conducted an assessment of first responders generalized knowledge and self-reported competency regarding VAD use, provided an education course, and tested for improvement immediately after and 1 month postintervention. Two hundred thirty-six first responders participated from communities with known VAD patients. Responses indicated poor knowledge, experience, and competency. Twenty-one percent had seen a manufacturer training video, 26% had attended prior training, and 38% knew who to contact with a VAD emergency. Generalized knowledge of VAD therapy was poor with majority not understanding use of anticoagulation, when to initiate chest compressions and assessment variations. Self-reported competency was low with 80% of participants reporting unsafe to marginal about VAD awareness. Comparison of 1 month postintervention to preintervention, generalized knowledge improved by a minimum of 38% for each question and competency increased by over 50%. From this study comes the recommendation that VAD centers must include the community first responders as part of their discharge planning for the VAD patient and improve community outreach to ensure appropriate patient outcomes.

    Abstract Objective: This systematic review will aim to summarize and evaluate the literature describing the evidence regarding adverse events from the administration of nitrates during right ventricular myocardial infarction.
    Introduction: Withholding nitrates in the setting of right ventricular myocardial infarction is currently recommended by the American Heart Association, European Society of Cardiology, and in the Australian Journal of General Practice, due to the risk that decreasing preload in the setting of already compromised right ventricular ejection fraction may reduce cardiac output and precipitate hypotension or exacerbate cardiogenic shock. The original evidence from 1989 underpinning these recommendations displays methodological weaknesses including low sample size and confounding interventions. More recent and comprehensive research from 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2019 conflicts with the conclusions from the 1989 study, suggesting instead that nitrate administration during right ventricular myocardial infarction results in no significant difference in the rate of adverse events. The combination of recommended practice based on 30-year-old evidence and the emergence of recent challenging evidence suggest that this topic merits systematic review.
    Inclusion criteria: The study will include both experimental and observational (descriptive and analytical) study designs that discuss the occurrence of adverse events from the administration of nitrates during a known right ventricular myocardial infarction.
    Methods: Six databases will be systematically searched: the Cochrane CENTRAL Register, PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE Complete, CINAHL, and Google Scholar. Identified studies will be independently assessed for inclusion by two investigators using JBI critical appraisal tools. Data will be extracted for narrative and tabular synthesis.

    Abstract Background: Paramedic work has periods of intermittent high physical demand, a risk of workplace injury, may be confounded by inherent fitness of the paramedic.
    Objective: This study aimed to identify the nature of workplace musculoskeletal injury, and determine if there was a relationship between pre-employment physical capacity testing (PEPCT) scores and risk of workplace musculoskeletal injury within the paramedic industry.
    Methods: A retrospective case review using PEPCT scores and workplace injury (WI) manual handling data collected from 2008 to 2015 by an Australian pre-hospital emergency care provider (Ambulance Victoria), enabled comparison and analysis of two distinct data sets.
    Results: A total of 538 paramedics were included for analysis with 34 paramedics reporting a workplace musculoskeletal injury from manual handling. The mean time to injury from commencement of employment was 395.4 days (SD 516.2). Female paramedics represented 53.0%and male paramedics represented 47%of the sample. Mean total PEPCT score for the entire sample was 19.1 (SD 2.9) with a range from 16.2-22, while for those reporting injuries it was 18.3 (SD 2.6) with a range from 15.7-20.9.
    Conclusions: Musculoskeletal injury amongst Victorian paramedics is more prevalent where the paramedic is female, and/or within three years of commencement of employment. The PEPCT score did not differentiate those at risk of subsequent injury.
