Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most destructive citrus disease worldwide. HLB associated with three species of phloem-limited, gram-negative, fastidious α-proteobacteria: Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Las), Ca. L. americanus (Lam), and africanus (Laf) Las being widespread species. has not been cultured in artificial media, which greatly hampered our efforts to understand its virulence mechanisms. contains a complete Sec-translocon, suggested transport proteins including factors into...
Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) patients report experiences of discrimination within healthcare settings due to a lack provider knowledge biases workers. There is an identified need among all health professions provide more culturally competent for this community. Early interventions during profession training programs may be effective address need. The overall goal study was assess the educational impact active learning session that...
Human β defensin DEFB103 acts as both a stimulant and an attenuator of chemokine cytokine responses: dichotomy that is not entirely understood. Our predicted results using in silico simulation model dendritic cells our observed human myeloid cells, show significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced 6 responses, attenuated 7 responses enhanced/attenuated the CXCL1 TNF to Porphyromonas gingivalis hemagglutinin B (HagB). In murine JAWSII attenuated, yet rarely enhanced, Cxcl2, Il6 Csf3 HagB; C57/BL6 mice,...
Miltefosine is an important drug for the treatment of leishmaniasis; however, its mechanism action still poorly understood. In these studies, we tested hypothesis that like in cancer cells, miltefosine's efficacy leishmaniasis due to inhibition Akt activation host cells. We show using pharmacologic agents block by different mechanisms and also inducible knockdown approach miltefosine loses when access Akt1 limited. Interestingly, limitation results clearance established Leishmania...
Background: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) seniors are generally a medically underserved population that faces unique healthcare challenges. When compared to younger patients, LGBT at greater risk for social isolation have higher rates of smoking, disability, physical mental distress, lack access services. They often reluctant discuss their sexual orientations gender identities with providers due fear discrimination receiving inferior care based on prior unsatisfactory...
<ns3:p>Background The transition of the United States Medical Licensing Exam: Step 1 to Pass/Fail (P/F), from scored, caused uncertainty about students’ preparedness and wellbeing related exam. Comparison study behavior results, before after P/F can provide insights for medical curriculum student support. aim this is evaluate perceptions their efforts in preparation, as compared cohort performances determine impact on students.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Interprofessional education (IPE) prepares future health professional learners for IP collaboration and teamwork can navigate the existing organizational culture, enhance patient safety, reduce errors, improve quality of care patients through collaborative practice. METHODS AND FINDINGS: This study IPE sessions with students from 10 healthcare programs was conducted during a virtual day across three consecutive years (2021-23). The session involved active learning...
<ns3:p>Background The transition of the United States Medical Licensing Exam: Step 1 to Pass/Fail (P/F), from scored, caused uncertainty about students’ preparedness and wellbeing related exam. Comparison study behavior results, before after P/F can provide insights for medical curriculum student support. Methods Data four cohorts second-year students (Class 2022–25, N = 204) were collected their dedicated self-study block. Student regiments, aggregate practice test pass rates post-block...
The emergence of multiple Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants presented an escalated risk to public health globally and prompted epidemiologic monitoring classification. Health professionals are vital for patient education regarding Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), discussing concerns, providing guidance. Students enrolled in professional healthcare programs benefit from being adept with the evolution spread SARS-CoV-2 variants, a team-based learning...
Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The COVID-19 pandemic served as a driving force for evaluation of nextgeneration vaccine technology platforms through novel paradigms to accelerate development and administration. However, acceptance influenced many factors, including social influences community-based interventions. Objective: This study aimed assess impact vaccination climate on academic health professions community students,...
The human microbiome is defined as microbes, their collective genetic material and ecosystems established within on the body. These microbes genomes play a role in physiology homeostasis well may potentially be associated with disease onset progression. As result, understanding essential for maintaining overall health wellbeing. Researchers have found that can affected by different environmental factors. Yet, complexities of how these factors affect diversity salivary are not understood....
2053 Background: Comprehensive molecular profiling reveals significant differences in treatment response among GBM patients. A mechanistic multi-omics biology model allows biosimulation of effects cell signaling, drugs and radiation on patient-specific silico diseased cells. The Cellworks Singula Therapy Response Index (TRI) identifies the magnitude disease control survival for specific anti-tumor strategies. TRI ranks anticipated outcome each therapy with a continuous Score, 0 to 100,...
