Characteristics of an Older Adult Population Without COVID-19 Infection in a Southeast Minnesota Community.
To assess demographic characteristics, public health measures, and health beliefs or behaviors that differentiate participants with a history of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection from those with no history of COVID-19. ⋯ Depending on the communicability, virulence, and pathogenicity of future COVID-19 variants, local, state, and federal governments must continue to consider the risks and benefits of public health initiatives that take into consideration these protective factors.

Sex-Associated Differences in Clinical Outcomes After Septal Reduction Therapies in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
To evaluate sex-associated differences in the short- and long-term outcomes of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) undergoing septal myectomy and alcohol septal ablation. ⋯ This nationwide study found that the risk of short- and long-term mortality was similar for male and female patients undergoing septal myectomy and alcohol septal ablation for HCM. The sex-based differences in the clinical presentation should not prevent consideration of septal reduction therapies.

Association of Plasma Omega-3 Levels With Incident Heart Failure and Related Mortalities.
To investigate the association between plasma omega-3 levels and incident heart failure (HF) and to examine their relationship with total and cardiovascular (CV) mortality among patients with preexisting HF. ⋯ Higher plasma levels of marine omega-3 fatty acids were associated with a lower incidence of HF. Furthermore, among patients with preexisting HF, higher omega-3 levels were associated with lower risks of all-cause mortality and CV mortality. These findings suggest that increasing plasma omega-3 levels, whether by diet or supplementation, could reduce both risk for development of HF and death in those with prevalent HF.

Expiratory Central Airway Collapse and Pneumatic Stenting With Continuous Positive Pressure Titration: A Technique Description.
To provide a standardized step-by-step guide for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration during dynamic flexible bronchoscopy (DB). ⋯ This study provides a detailed guide to performing CPAP titration during DB. We believe that this description of technique will support a systematic approach for further research to assess the impact of pneumatic stenting in ECAC.

Examining the Impact of Moral Injury on Burnout, Impostor Syndrome, and Low Self-Compassion Among Female Medical Trainees: A Secondary Analysis.
To examine the prevalence of moral injury and its association with burnout, impostor syndrome, and low self-compassion in physician trainees. ⋯ Female medical trainees have a high prevalence of moral injury, which has significant associations with burnout, impostor syndrome, and low self-compassion. Effective interventions require further implementation and analysis to reduce moral injury among medical trainees.
