Objectives: This study examined engagement levels across various domains of leisure activities in community-dwelling Black adults (age range=50-80 years) and variability in daily leisure activity engagement and positive affect (PA; positive emotions or mood) and negative affect (NA; negative emotions or mood). Additionally, we explored whether PA and NA were associated with leisure activity engagement, and whether these associations varied by sociodemographics.

Methods: Fifty adults (78% women; Mean Education=11. Read More

White matter lesions (WMLs) are common in older adults and represent an important predictor of negative long-term outcomes. Rest-activity rhythm disturbance is also common, however, few studies have investigated associations between these factors. We employed a novel AI-based automatic WML segmentation tool and diffusion-weighted tractography to investigate associations between tract specific WML volumes and non-parametric actigraphy measures in older adults at risk for cognitive decline.

Background: The growth of hospital medicine has resulted in a parallel growth of hospital medicine training within internal medicine residency programs (IMRPs), but the experience and outcomes of these training offerings have not yet been described.

Objective: To describe the first dedicated hospitalist track and the program evaluation data.

Methods: The University of Colorado Hospitalist Training Track (HTT) is a 3-year track within the IMRP with robust inpatient clinical training, specialized didactics, experiential improvement work, and career mentorship. Read More

Background: Core temperature monitoring is indispensable to prevent children from perioperative thermal perturbations. Although nasopharyngeal measurements are commonly used in anesthesia and considered to reflect core temperature accurately, standardized target depths for probe insertion are unknown in children.

Aims: Our primary goal was to determine a target depth of nasopharyngeal temperature probe insertion in children by measuring distances on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Read More
