Effects of gonadal hormones on sensory and cognitive tasks
Get PDFParticipants were recruited from the local community, specifically through attendance at professional conferences and LGBTQ+ events in the surrounding area. This sample received a brief battery of cognitive and sensory tasks. Participants also provided a biological sample in the form of saliva collected by the free drool method and completed a short demographic survey regarding their gender identity, medication, and health history. One aim of the presented study and the data collected, is to shed light on the much-neglected area of transgender neurological research

Exploring Gender Variation in Medical Student Professional Identity Development: A Longitudinal Study Through the Career Eulogy Perspective
Get PDFBackground
Empathy towards patients is a key component of a physician\u27s professional identity. In longitudinal studies at their campus, the authors of this study observed that women had higher empathy scores as measured by a standard Likert scale survey; however, the differences were insignificant in most training years.
Methods
In this larger study, the authors confirmed this finding and used a career eulogy projective exercise to explore gender differences in professional identity formation more deeply than a Likert scale score. The study included 76 medical students from all 4 years of training at a rural, regional medical school campus in the upper Southeast of the United States.
Results
The authors found that women emphasized quality themes more than men after the third year of medical school (M3). Women also mentioned passion themes more after the first year of medical school (post-M1) and had significantly more mentions of compassion themes upon entering medical school. Women consistently mentioned patient relationship themes more across all years of medical school, particularly after the second year (post-M2). Both genders mentioned themes of enjoying life equally, except after the second year, when men mentioned these themes significantly more. Women mentioned community themes significantly less after the first year (post-M1). Family themes were mentioned equally by both genders.
Conclusion
Using stereotypes of gender roles in the Southern U.S. as a reference point, the authors suggest some possible interpretations of these findings, noting significant differences from previously published gender differences. The career eulogy exercise proved to be a valuable tool for examining professional identity formation in detail
Elevating Stroke Care: A Pharmacy Perspective on Telestroke Services
No full textIn recent years, telestroke services have transformed stroke care delivery, especially in rural or underserved areas. Using technology to connect stroke specialists with local health care providers, telestroke services have helped fill the gap in accessing timely and expert stroke care. Telestroke services utilize remote stroke specialists who help guide local emergency physicians in reviewing imaging, diagnosing, treating, or transferring patients appropriately. These services have been important because, for ischemic stroke, the window to administer intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) or perform a mechanical thrombectomy is patient-specific and time-sensitive

A survey of proximal sensilla associated with denticle subrows on scorpion pedipalp fingers (Arachnida: Scorpiones), with observations on scorpion fluorescence
Get PDFSensilla on the dentate margins of scorpion pedipalp fingers, associated with denticle subrows or terminal denticles, were surveyed by white light, UV fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy. A total of 163 species belonging to 103 genera from 19 families were examined, representing all major phylogenetic lineages in the order. In the majority of species (141/152) with dentition organized into linear subrows of median denticles, a small socketed sensillum with a short shaft was observed at the proximal terminus of each subrow, termed a ‘subrow proximal sensilla’ (SPS). With few exceptions, SPS were non-fluorescent (‘Type N’) in buthids, and fluorescent (‘Type F’) in non-buthids. SPS were present in buthids, chactoid families, and vaejovids; they were absent in Pseudochactas, bothriurids and scorpionoid families. Subterminal sensilla (STS) were found proximal to terminal denticles. Buthid fingers typically had two pairs of Type N STS, a proximal filiform pair and a distal spatulate pair, herein termed ‘Cruz-Armas sensilla’ after their discoverers; in a minority of species, the spatulate pair was missing. Non-buthid fingers typically had a single Type F STS, similar to Type F SPS. Type N sensilla studied here may be mechanoreceptive ‘macrosetae’, and Type F sensilla chemo-/mechanoreceptive ‘microsetae’, both specialized for detecting close-contact stimuli. In order to correctly interpret fluorescence images of sensilla, we reviewed the optics of UV excitation and fluorescence emission in scorpion cuticle. We propose a dielectric waveguide model of the cuticle, in which fluorescence emitted in the hyaline exocuticle is trapped by total internal reflection, and is able to propagate tangential to the surface. We suggest that this phenomenon could enhance topographic contrast of small surface features in fluorescence imaging, and increase the efficiency of UV fluorescence detection by ocular or extraocular photoreceptors. We observed highly effective block of UV light by the cuticle, and strong UV attenuation by non-fluorescent endocuticle. Scorpion cuticle may serve a dual role, as a protective sunscreen and as a UV wavelength converter and fluorescence collector for photoreceptors
