Analyzing racial and ethnic disparities among geriatric patients undergoing elective versus emergent colorectal procedures: A National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) analysis
Non-elective colorectal surgeries are associated with an increased risk of complications compared to elective procedures, which is accentuated amongst geriatric patients. This study examines racial/ethnic disparities in rates of elective versus non-elective colorectal procedures among geriatric patients.
This retrospective cohort study included data from patients aged ≥65 registered in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Using multivariate logistic regression, we examined associations between race/ethnicity and elective versus non-elective surgical status.
Among 79,497 patients included, 24,544 (30.9 %) received non-elective colorectal surgery. 81.1 % of patients were White, 8.93 % were Black, 5.3 % were Hispanic, 4.1 % were Asian, and 0.6 % were NAPI. Multivariate analysis revealed higher odds ratios for receiving non-elective surgery amongst Black and Hispanic patients (Black = 1.38, 95 % CI 1.30–1.47, p < 0.01; Hispanic = 1.54, 95 % CI 1.43–1.67, p < 0.01).
Black and Hispanic geriatric patients were more likely to receive non-elective procedures.
•Black/Hispanic patients receive non-elective colon procedures at higher rates than peers.•Perioperative complications are more common amongst racial/ethnic minorities.•Non-elective colon procedures are most common in cases of inflammation and obstruction.

Emodiversity Among U.S. Emerging Adults: Implications for Health and Wellbeing
Emodiversity, or diversity of emotional experience, has received mixed support in the literature as an indicator of health and wellness. The current investigation seeks to contribute to this literature by addressing how the concepts of positive emodiversity and negative emodiversity are related to several wellness indicators (physical, mental, social) within the U.S. emerging adult population (ages 18–30) using cross-sectional and repeated-measures (2 time points) methods. First, in Study 1, positive and negative emodiversity constructs were examined for concurrent relationships with health and wellness indicators among more than 1400 emerging adults. Second, in Study 2, using a Time 1/Time 2 study design, Time 2 health variables were regressed on Time 1 positive and negative emodiversity constructs to examine predictive validity. The results indicated support for positive emodiversity as a concurrent indicator of health and wellness but were not associated with future health and wellness. Negative emodiversity, however, was a poor concurrent indicator but was associated with some indicators of future health and wellness.

Ligand Control of 59Co Nuclear Spin Relaxation Thermometry
Studying the correlation between temperature-driven molecular structure and nuclear spin dynamics is essential to understanding fundamental design principles for thermometric nuclear magnetic resonance spin-based probes. Herein, we study the impact of progressively encapsulating ligands on temperature-dependent 59Co T1 (spin–lattice) and T2 (spin–spin) relaxation times in a set of Co(III) complexes: K3[Co(CN)6] (1); [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 (2); [Co(en)3]Cl3 (3), en = ethylenediamine); [Co(tn)3]Cl3 (4), tn = trimethylenediamine); [Co(tame)2]Cl3 (5), tame = triaminomethylethane); and [Co(dinosar)]Cl3 (6), dinosar = dinitrosarcophagine). Measurements indicate that 59Co T1 and T2 increase with temperature for 1–6 between 10 and 60 °C, with the greatest ΔT1/ΔT and ΔT2/ΔT temperature sensitivities found for 4 and 3, 5.3(3)%T1/°C and 6(1)%T2/°C, respectively. Temperature-dependent T2* (dephasing time) analyses were also made, revealing the highest ΔT2*/ΔT sensitivities in structures of greatest encapsulation, as high as 4.64%T2*/°C for 6. Calculations of the temperature-dependent quadrupolar coupling parameter, Δe2qQ/ΔT, enable insight into the origins of the relative ΔT1/ΔT values. These results suggest tunable quadrupolar coupling interactions as novel design principles for enhancing temperature sensitivity in nuclear spin-based probes.

Out of the maze : an a-mazing way to get unstuck
\"The posthumous sequel to Who Moved My Cheese?, the classic parable that became a worldwide sensation. Who Moved My Cheese? offered millions of readers relief for an evergreen problem: unanticipated and unwelcome change. Now its long-awaited sequel digs deeper, to show how readers can adapt their beliefs and achieve better results in any field. Johnson's theme is that all of our accomplishments are due to our beliefs: whether we're confident or insecure, cynical or positive, open-minded or inflexible. But it's difficult to change your beliefs--and with them, your outcomes. Find out how Hem, Haw, and the other characters from Who Moved My Cheese? deal with this challenge\"-- Provided by publisher.

HEURISTICS: An Approach to Evaluating News Obtained through Social Media
The increasing ubiquity of social media is fundamentally changing the way we access and interpret current events and news. The era of the print newspaper, evening news on only three television channels, and the radio as a popular go-to source for breaking news is in decline. In this new era of information abundancy, we have added unlimited news sources--cable news channels, blogs, and news found on social media. According to Elisa Shearer and Jeffrey Gottfried, two-thirds of Americans now read some portion of the news on their social media feeds such as Facebook and Twitter (2017). The context in which teens come across news every day has changed. One can reasonably infer that teens are obtaining much of their information about current events on their smartphones. Little evidence has been found to suggest that students are being explicitly taught how to evaluate news obtained through social media.

Using IMPLAN's New Forward Linkages Feature to Assess the Economic Impact of a Paper Mill Closure in Appalachian Ohio
Economic impact models such as IMPLAN have traditionally relied on backward linkages to estimate how exogenous shocks reverberate through an economy. IMPLAN recently introduced a new forwardlinkage tool that enables researchers to quantify the downstream, cost-push consequences of industry disruptions. Building on IMPLAN's long history of modeling forestry and forest products industries, we apply this new feature to assess the downstream impacts of a paper mill closure in Appalachian Ohio. Using IMPLAN's Price Change (Cost-Push) Guide, we model a 5% increase in the price of \"Paper from Pulp.\" The traditional backward-linkage analysis estimates that Ohio will experience a loss of more than $414 million in contributions to GSP. The new forward-linkage analysis further indicates that Ohio industries will need to absorb over $69 million in increased input costs associated with \"Paper from Pulp.\" Together, these results illustrate how the addition of IMPLAN's forward-linkage tool provides a more complete understanding of the economic consequences of major industrial closures.
