burnout on employees and their patients through providing staff supports, managing workload, and goal setting.

This study demonstrated substantial, ongoing impacts that having appropriate resources including staff, workload, and supervisor support had on VHA BHP burnout. VHA may consider investing in approaches to mitigate the impact of BHP burnout on employees and their patients through providing staff supports, managing workload, and goal setting.The Indigenous peoples of North America are heirs to the shattering legacy of European colonization. These brutal histories of land dispossession, military conquest, forced settlement, religious repression, and coercive assimilation have robbed American Indian communities of their economies, lifeways, and sources of meaning and significance in the world. The predictable consequence has been an epidemic of "mental health" problems such as demoralization, substance abuse, violence, and suicide within these communities. One apparent solution would seem to be the initiation or expansion of mental health services to better reach American Indian clients. And yet, conventional mental health services such as counseling and psychotherapy depend on assumptions and aspirations that may not fit well with American Indian cultural sensibilities. For example, counseling practices draw on the presumed value for clients of introspective and expressive "self talk," whereas Indigenous community norms may emphasize communicative caution outside of interactions with intimate kin, leading to marked reticence rather than candid disclosure. Moreover, given community sensitivities to salient histories of colonization, such differences have the potential to further alienate American Indian community members from the very services and providers designated to help them. In this article, I review a postcolonial predicament that bedevils American Indian community mental health services and trace a program of research that has sought to harness American Indian cultural and spiritual traditions for reimagining helping services in a manner that truly centers Indigenous perspectives.Antiseizure medication can potentially cause severe cutaneous adverse reactions, and certain antiseizure medication-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions are associated with specific human leukocyte antigen alleles. This caused a change in antiseizure medication prescribing patterns, which may influence the incidence of antiseizure medication-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions. Thus, we aimed to determine the incidence of antiseizure medication-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions and its change over 15 years (2006-2019) in Malaysia. This retrospective analysis combined antiseizure medication-induced SCAR cases from the national adverse drug reaction database in the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency, antiseizure medication usage data from the Malaysian Statistics of Medicine, and prescribing data from University Malaya Medical Centre, a national-level tertiary hospital to calculate antiseizure medication-induced SCAR incidence in Malaysia. We observed an upward trend in reported antiseizure medication-induced SCAR cases from 28 cases in 2006 to 92 in 2016. The incidence of carbamazepine (CBZ)-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions increased from 7.5 per 1000 person-years (2006) to 17.8 per 1000 person-years (2016) but dropped to 7.2 per 1000 person-years subsequently (2019). Concurrently, there was an increase in the incidence of severe cutaneous adverse reactions secondary to phenytoin and lamotrigine. The prevalent users of CBZ had reduced from 22.8% (2006) to 14.1% (2016), whereas the levetiracetam and sodium valproate users increased by 5.5% and 4.8%, respectively. Oxyphenisatin The incidence of CBZ-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions had reduced since 2016, probably related to the implementation of human leukocyte antigen-B*1502 screening in Malaysia or substitution of CBZ with other antiseizure medications. However, this was accompanied by an increase in SCAR incidence related to phenytoin and lamotrigine.

Patients with concomitant anemia and congestive heart failure have poor outcomes. The prevalence and clinical risk of anemia in patients receiving durable left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) remain unknown.

We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent LVAD implantation between 2014 and 2018. The association between hemoglobin level at the time of index discharge and the one-year composite endpoint of heart failure readmissions or hemocompatibility-related adverse events was investigated.

A total of 168 patients (57 [48, 66] years old, 123 males) were included and stratified into a classification of anemia (hemoglobin <9.7g/dl, N=99) or non-anemia (N=69). The anemia group had a higher one-year incidence of the composite endpoint (56% vs 36%, p=.013) with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.83 (95% confidence interval 1.08-2.82). Patients with anemia also experienced suboptimal bi-ventricular unloading.

Anemia was prevalent in LVAD patients and associated with a greater risk of heart failure and hemocompatibility-related adverse events. The optimal threshold for therapeutic intervention in response to post-LVAD anemia needs further investigation.

To evaluate the incidence of chromosomal aberrations and the clinical outcomes following the prenatal diagnosis of isolated perimembranous ventricular septal defect (pVSD).

This retrospective study was composed of a cohort of pregnant women whose fetuses were diagnosed with isolated pVSD. Complete examinations of the fetal heart were performed, as well as a postnatal validation echocardiography follow-up at 1year of age. The collected data included spontaneous closure of the pVSD, need for intervention, chromosomal aberrations and postnatal outcome.

Fifty-five pregnant women were included in the study. 34/55 (61.8%) of the fetuses underwent prenatal genetic workup which revealed no abnormal results. No dysmorphic features or abnormal neurological findings were detected postnatally in those who declined a prenatal genetic workup during the follow-up period of 2years. In 25/55 of the cases (45.4%), the ventricular septal defects (VSD) closed spontaneously in utero, whereas in 17 cases of this group (30.9%) the VSD closed during the first year of life. None of the large 3 VSDs cases (>3mm), closed spontaneously.

Prenatally isolated perimembranous VSD has a favorable clinical outcome when classified as small-to-moderate size, children in our cohort born with such findings had no macroscopic chromosomal abnormalities.

Here, we have investigated the effect of A2A and A2B -selective agonists on vasodilatation in three distinct vascular beds of the rat cardiovascular system. NanoBRET ligand binding studies were used to confirm receptor selectivity. The regional hemodynamic effects of adenosine A2A and A2B selective agonists were investigated in conscious rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (350-450 g) were chronically implanted with pulsed Doppler flow probes on the renal artery, mesenteric artery, and the descending abdominal aorta. Cardiovascular responses were measured following intravenous infusion (3 min for each dose) of the A2A -selective agonist CGS 21680 (0.1, 0.3, 1 µg kg-1 min-1 ) or the A2B -selective agonist BAY 60-6583 (4,13.3, 40 µg kg-1 min-1 ) following predosing with the A2A -selective antagonist SCH 58261 (0.1 or 1 mg kg-1 min-1 ), the A2B /A2A antagonist PSB 1115 (10 mg kg-1 min-1 ) or vehicle. The A2A -selective agonist CGS 21680 produced a striking increase in heart rate (HR) and hindquarters vascular conductance (VC) that was accompanied by a significant decrease in mean arterial pressure (MAP) in conscious rats. In marked contrast, the A2B -selective agonist BAY 60-6583 significantly increased HR and VC in the renal and mesenteric vascular beds, but not in the hindquarters. Taken together, these data indicate that A2A and A2B receptors are regionally selective in their regulation of vascular tone. These results suggest that the development of A2B receptor agonists to induce vasodilatation in the kidney may provide a good therapeutic approach for the treatment of acute kidney injury.Bone cells actively respond to mechanical stimuli to direct bone formation, yet there is no current treatment strategy for conditions of low bone mass and osteoporosis designed to target the inherent mechanosensitivity of bone. Our group has previously identified the primary cilium as a critical mechanosensor within bone, and that pharmacologically targeting the primary cilium with fenoldopam can enhance osteocyte mechanosensitivity. Here, we demonstrate that potentiating osteocyte mechanosensing with fenoldopam in vitro promotes pro-osteogenic paracrine signaling to osteoblasts. Conversely, impairing primary cilia formation and the function of key ciliary mechanotransduction proteins attenuates this intercellular signaling cascade. We then utilize an in vivo model of load-induced bone formation to demonstrate that fenoldopam treatment sensitizes bones of both healthy and osteoporotic mice to mechanical stimulation. Furthermore, we show minimal adverse effects of this treatment and demonstrate that prolonged treatment biases trabecular bone adaptation. This work is the first to examine the efficacy of targeting primary cilia-mediated mechanosensing to enhance bone formation in osteoporotic animals. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).Innocent subjects who are knowledgeable of crime-related information will often be misclassified as "guilty" in P300-based complex trial protocol (CTP). Therefore, it is necessary to develop a more rigorous CTP that can effectively discriminate the guilty from both the knowledgeable and the unknowledgeable innocents. Sometimes the guilty and the knowledgeable innocents possess the same item memories but different source memories. The present study designed a novel item-source complex trial protocol based on the differences of source memory among the three kinds of individuals. Either the crime-related probe (e.g., the stolen ring) or one of the crime-unrelated stimuli (e.g., watch, earring, bracelet, or bangle) (item memory) was presented in the first part of each trail, and either a stealing-source word (e.g., stole) or other-source word (e.g., fetched) (source memory) was presented in the second part of each trail. The results showed that (1) the P300 evoked by item memory could effectively discriminated the guilty from the unknowledgeable innocent (AUC = 0.76) but failed to effectively discriminate the guilty from the knowledgeable innocent (AUC = 0.60); (2) the late positive component evoked by source memory could effectively discriminated the guilty from both the knowledgeable innocent (AUC = 0.94) and the unknowledgeable innocent (AUC = 0.84) in one test.
