Abstract
Introduction Emergency medicine (EM) has historically been among the most competitive specialties in the United States. However, in 2022 and 2023, 219 of 2921 and 554 of 3010 respective National Resident Matching Program positions were initially unfilled. Medical students' selection of a medical specialty is a complex process. To better understand recent trends in the EM residency match, this qualitative study explored through one-on-one interviews the rationale of senior medical students who seriously considered EM but ultimately pursued another specialty. Methods A convenience sample of senior medical students from across the United States was recruited via multiple mechanisms after the 2023 match. Participant characteristics were collected via an online survey. Qualitative data were generated through a series of one-on-one semistructured interviews and thematic analysis of the data was performed using a constant comparative approach. Results Sixteen senior medical students from 12 different institutions participated in the study. Thematic saturation was reached after 12 interviews but data from all 16 interviews were included for qualitative analyses. Five major themes emerged as important in students' consideration but ultimate rejection of EM as a career: (1) innate features of EM attracted or dissuaded students, (2) widespread awareness of a recent workforce report, (3) burnout in EM, (4) their perception of EM's standing in the health care landscape, and (5) early EM experience and exposure. Conclusions This qualitative study identified five major themes in the career decisions of senior medical students who seriously considered EM but chose another specialty. These findings may help inform the perceptions of students and guide future EM recruitment efforts.

Abstract
To investigate the current psychosocial challenges faced by adults with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), while exploring attitudes and experiences of mindfulness and self-compassion. Mindfulness and self-compassion are important resources for supporting psychological and physical well-being, yet there is limited research exploring these positive psychology concepts in CF literature. Twenty UK domiciled adults with a diagnosis of CF, took part in a semi-structured interview. Using a thematic analysis approach, four themes were developed: (a) "I didn't expect to be here": Surpassing the CF life expectancy, (b) "Am I psychologically bringing this upon myself?": Psychological complexities of CF, (c) "I've had to really learn to be kind to myself": The importance of compassion and being self-compassionate, (d) "I think it's a great tool": The benefits of practising mindfulness. This research demonstrates a robust need for increased integration of accessible psychological practices into routine CF-care and self-care for adults with CF. Particularly, practises and interventions that draw on the concepts of mindfulness and self-compassion, which may benefit patient's health and wellbeing profoundly.

Abstract
Self-compassion is increasingly recognised as an important and beneficial factor in quality of life and mental health-related research, but research within the adult cystic fibrosis (CF) population is scarce. In a cross-sectional study, 114 (56 female, 58 male) adults with CF completed and returned a series of validated questionnaires that assessed CF-related quality of life, negative emotional states (depression, anxiety and stress), self-compassion, and self-criticism. Quality of life and self-compassion were positively correlated, and each in turn were inversely correlated with negative emotional states and self-criticism. Negative emotional states correlated positively to self-criticism. Self-compassion and/or self-criticism moderated ten relationships between various sub-domains of quality of life and negative emotions. Psychological interventions that increase self-compassion may be beneficial for enhancing mental health and quality of life for adults with CF.

Abstract
Introduction Ketamine is commonly used to treat profound agitation in the prehospital setting. Early in ketamine’s prehospital use, intubation after arrival in the emergency department (ED) was frequent. We sought to measure the frequency of ED intubation at a Midwest academic medical center after prehospital ketamine use for profound agitation, hypothesizing that intubation has become less frequent as prehospital ketamine has become more common and prehospital dosing has improved. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult patients receiving ketamine in the prehospital setting for profound agitation and transported to a midwestern, 60,000-visit, Level 1 trauma center between January 1, 2017–March 1, 2021. We report descriptive analyses of patient-level prehospital clinical data and ED outcomes. The primary outcome was proportion of patients intubated in the ED. Results A total of 78 patients received ketamine in the prehospital setting (69% male, mean age 36 years). Of the 42 (54%) admitted patients, 15 (36% of admissions) were admissions to the intensive care unit. Overall, 12% (95% confidence interval [CI]), 4.5–18.6%)] of patients were intubated, and indications included agitation (n = 4), airway protection not otherwise specified (n = 4), and respiratory failure (n = 1). Conclusion Endotracheal intubation in the ED after prehospital ketamine use for profound agitation in our study sample was found to be less than previously reported.

Abstract
Intrahepatic thrombotic events have been postulated to play a key role in the pathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis. Genetic and acquired thrombotic risk factors may therefore contribute to the varying rates of fibrosis progression observed in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of inherited mutations in factor V and factor II (prothrombin) on hepatic fibrosis progression rates in individuals infected with HCV. Two hundred and ten Irish women infected with HCV genotype 1b, contracted from a single source (HCV-contaminated anti-D immunoglobulin) were genotyped for the factor V Leiden G1691A and prothrombin G20210A polymorphisms, and compared with Irish Caucasoid controls. Index and subsequent liver biopsies were scored (Ishak scoring system) by a single pathologist. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. Factor V Leiden and prothrombin G20210A heterozygosity were determined in 3.7% and 1.85%, respectively, of the study population. There was no association between these polymorphisms and fibrotic score on the index biopsy, or degree of change in fibrotic score on subsequent biopsies. The mean fibrotic score for factor V wild type was 1.06 vs 0.71 for the heterozygotes (P = 0.89). The mean change in fibrotic scores between subsequent biopsies was 0.72 for factor V wild type vs 0.50 for heterozygotes (P = 0.68). Similarly, there was no significant difference in fibrotic score for those with the prothrombin G20210A polymorphism (P = 0.936). Alanine aminotransferase levels for factor V wild type were significantly lower than those for the heterozygotes, 45.9 vs 57 (P = 0.032). Factor V Leiden and prothrombin G20210A heterozygosity rates were infrequently detected in this HCV cohort and were similar to rates seen in a Caucasian Irish control population. In this cohort, neither factor V Leiden nor prothrombin G20210A polymorphisms had a significant impact on fibrotic scores or degree of change between subsequent biopsies. These data do not support a key role for thrombotic risk factors in fibrogenesis in HCV-infected patients.

Abstract
Proteins possessing the caspase recruitment domain (CARD) motif have been implicated in pathways leading to activation of caspases or NF-kappaB in the context of apoptosis or inflammation, respectively. Here we report the identification of a novel protein, CARDINAL, that contains a CARD motif and also exhibits a high degree of homology to the C terminus of DEFCAP/NAC, a recently described member of the Apaf-1/Nod-1 family. In contrast with the majority of CARD proteins described to date, CARDINAL failed to promote apoptosis or NF-kappaB activation. Rather, CARDINAL potently suppressed NF-kappaB activation associated with overexpression of TRAIL-R1, TRAIL-R2, RIP, RICK, Bcl10, and TRADD, or through ligand-induced stimulation of the interleukin-1 or tumor necrosis factor receptors. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that CARDINAL interacts with the regulatory subunit of the IkappaB kinase (IKK) complex, IKKgamma (NEMO), providing a molecular basis for CARDINAL function. Thus, CARDINAL is a novel regulator of NF-kappaB activation in the context of pro-inflammatory signals.

Abstract
Failure-to-thrive (FTT) is a chronic symptom accounting for 1% of all patients admitted to pediatric hospitals. FTT, which is traditionally attributed to organic (OFTT) and/or nonorganic (NFTT) causes, results in undernutrition. Undernutrition has potentially serious effects on child development, behavior, and cognitive skills. We undertook a study of children with FTT to determine whether multidisciplinary team treatment resulted in improved weight gain compared with children treated in a primary care setting. Fifty-three children with NFTT referred to our outpatient FTT consultative clinic and 107 children with NFTT identified as comparison subjects from our primary care clinic (PCC) were enrolled in the study. Growth outcomes over a 6-month follow-up were analyzed using growth quotient (GQ) analysis. Children followed in the multidisciplinary team clinic grew better (GQ = 1.75 +/- 0.39 SD) than did children in the PCC (GQ = 1.18 +/- 0.42 SD, p less than .001). The use of a multidisciplinary team offers special advantages in the rapid correction of undernutrition in children with NFTT.

Abstract
Failure-to-thrive (FTT) is categorized as organic (OFTT) or nonorganic (NFTT). Traditionally, it has been taught that children with OFTT are unable to grow well in spite of adequate care (calories, nurturance, medical supervision), whereas NFTT children will grow well when given adequate care. We undertook this study to determine whether NFTT and OFTT children could grow at similar rates when treated by a specialized multidisciplinary team that provided concrete, individualized therapies including psychosocial support, medical care, and hypercaloric diets. Eighty-six children were enrolled on referral to our outpatient FTT consultative clinic; 64 had NFTT and 22 had OFTT. Growth quotient analysis was used to determine growth outcomes over a 6-month follow-up period. Growth at a rate paralleling the growth curve produces a GQ equal to 1. Growth 2 times as rapid as expected gives a GQ = 2. Children in both groups grew extremely well. For NFTT, GQ = 1.67 +/- 0.56 (SD); for OFTT, GQ = 1.81 +/- 0.37 (SD), p = NS. OFTT children grew just as well as NFTT children when given adequate calories for catch-up growth. Our data indicate that weight gain alone cannot reliably differentiate OFTT from NFTT, as has been traditionally taught. They suggest that we make every attempt to maximize caloric intake in FTT children. They also suggest that a multidisciplinary team consisting of a pediatrician, child psychiatrist, nutritionist, nurse clinician, and social worker may be successful in managing FTT children.

Abstract
In evaluating the toxicological significance of such contaminants as trace metals, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, mycotoxins, pesticides and nitrosamines, analytical chemistry plays an important role. The detection and identification of these in various foods at the mg/kg or mug/kg levels has posed some difficult analytical problems. Considerable progress has been made in this field in the past decade, however, an opportunity is taken to review the achievements in terms of specificity and sensitivity for each class of contaminant.
