The Five Colleges are committed early implementers of FOLIO and beta adopters of EBSCO's implementation and hosting services. We implemented the Agreements, eHoldings, Users, and Organizations apps in FOLIO during the summer of 2020 and will go-live on apps to replace our ILS (Integrated Library System) by summer of 2022. Implementing the Agreements, eHoldings, Users, and Organizations apps took a significant amount of work as the management of this information and content has never been centralized or shared until now in our consortia. In this article we chronicle our path to build trust, construct a common understanding of methodology and terminology, and how we successfully migrated during a global pandemic.

Presents conversations of a group of fifth graders collaborating on a social studies task to illustrate how childen use language to learn. Focuses on one student whose oral language was rapid and chaotic but who demonstrated extremely sophisticated and complex structuring of knowledge to understand a particular social studies concept.

The article examines the implementation of a comprehensive pressure ulcers (PU) prevention program in two acute care hospitals in Phoenix, Arizona. Topics discussed include recognition of a deficiency in the area of PU prevention caused by the impact of Medicare reimbursement rules, the appointment of a new director for wound care, and hiring of a wound ostomy continence nurse. The development of a multidisciplinary wound team and implementation of a skin assessment protocol are mentioned.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine compliance rates for following three electromyography (EMG) clinical practice guidelines and to determine the reliability of two performance measurement tools developed for this study. Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive and correlation study of chart reviews of voluntary submissions of EMG reports performed by physical therapists (PTs). Chart reviewers included a PT, a neurologist, and a physiatrist. EMG reports leading to diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) (n = 43), ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (n 36), and cervical radiculopathy (n = 38) were collected. The performance measurement tools were analyzed for interrater reliability. Results: The mean (median) score for CTS was 84% (89%), ulnar neuropathy at the elbow was 71% (72%), and cervical radiculopathy was 83% (85%). The reliability calculation (95% confidence interval) for the performance measurement tool for CTS was 0.74 (0.49-0.86), ulnar neuropathy at the elbow was 0.75 (0.56-0.86), and cervical radiculopathy was 0.57 (0.16-0.79). All three reliability calculations were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The EMG reports performed by PTs had high compliance rates for following the three clinical practice guidelines. The performance measurement tools developed for CTS, ulnar neuropathy at the elbow, and cervical radiculopathy were moderately reliable. They may be useful for quality improvement projects in individual EMG laboratories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A Drosophila melanogaster dFMRFamide gene product, TPAEDFMRFamide, decreased crop contractions. However, DPKQDFMRFamide and SDNFMRFamide, also encoded in dFMRFamide, did not affect crop motility, which suggests these peptides are not functionally redundant in the crop and their unique N-terminal structures are important for activity. TPAEDFMRFamide-specific antisera did not stain the crop, which suggests it acts as a hormone. TDVDHVFLRFamide (DMS), encoded in D. melanogaster myosuppressin, stops crop contractions. TPAEDFMRFamide and DMS each contains a RFamide C-terminus; however, their effects on crop contractions differ, which suggests that unique receptors or different ligand:receptor binding requirements exist for these structurally related peptides.

Myotropic peptides can be grouped into different families based on their structure. Three Drosophila melanogaster myotropin families are represented by TDVDHVFLRFamide, dromyosuppressin (DMS), pEVRYRQCYFNPISCF, an allatostatin C-type peptide named flatline (FLT), and SDNFMRfamide, a FMRFamide, a FMRFamide-containing peptide. The structures of DMS, FLT, and SDNFMRFamide differ and each peptide is encoded by a different gene. In addition, the spatial and temporal distributions of DMS, FLT, and SDNFMRFamide are dissimilar. DMS, FLT, and SDNFMRFamide each decreases heart rate; however, their effects are profoundly different. Likewise, the effects of these three myotropins on the frequency of the spontaneous contractions of the crop, an anterior portion of the foregut, differ. DMS stops crop movement without recovery for at least 10-min period after applying the peptide, FLT significantly decreases the frequency of spontaneous contractions, but its effect partially reverses within a few minutes after applying the peptide, and SDNFMRFamide only slightly decreased crop motility, an effect that was not significantly different from the effect of saline. The differences in the structures, distributions, and activities of DMS, FLT, and SDNFMRFamide suggest their synthesis and release are under different sensory inputs and regulatory mechanisms, and that roles in affecting the frequency of crop contractions differ.

An 11-year-old female child presented 2 months after accidentally swallowing her hijab pin, with right-sided abdominal pain. An X-ray showed that the pin was located in her right upper quadrant, and at laparoscopy, it was found to have eroded through her duodenum into her liver. Ingested pins should always be removed if not passed spontaneously within the first few days. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
