Objective: This study investigated whether daily experiences of job burnout are linked to violent extremist attitudes in the workplace, examining the mediating role of negative affect and the moderating influence of perceived organizational support. The theoretical framework integrates the existential model of burnout, significance quest theory, and general strain theory. Method: A 5-day daily-diary study… Continue reading Exploring the link between daily job #burnout and violent #extremist attitudes: The role of negative affect and perceived organizational support

Evaluation of an Ambient Artificial Intelligence Documentation Platform for #Clinicians
Importance The increase of electronic health record (EHR) work negatively impacts clinician well-being. One potential solution is incorporating an ambient artificial intelligence (AI) documentation platform.Objective To understand clinician experience before and after implementing ambient AI.Design, Setting, and Participants This quality improvement study was a pilot evaluation with before and after survey and EHR metrics conducted… Continue reading Evaluation of an Ambient Artificial Intelligence Documentation Platform for #Clinicians
Integrating the #environmental and genetic architectures of #aging and mortality
Both environmental exposures and genetics are known to play important roles in shaping human aging. Here we aimed to quantify the relative contributions of environment (referred to as the exposome) and genetics to aging and premature mortality. To systematically identify environmental exposures associated with aging in the UK Biobank, we first conducted an exposome-wide analysis… Continue reading Integrating the #environmental and genetic architectures of #aging and mortality
#Teabag-derived micro/#nanoplastics (true-to-life MNPLs) as a surrogate for real-life exposure scenarios
Highlights•Nanoplastics were obtained from three teabag brands during a standard preparation.•ATR-FTIR shows nylon, polypropylene, and cellulose as constituents.•MNPLs release was higher for propylene and lower for nylon.•Uptake in Caco-2, HT29, and HT29-MTX human intestinal cells was determined.•Cell uptake depends on both cell type and chemical constitution of released MNPLs. AbstractThe potential health implications of environmental… Continue reading #Teabag-derived micro/#nanoplastics (true-to-life MNPLs) as a surrogate for real-life exposure scenarios
Identifying Early Predictors of #Cognitive Impairment and Dementia in a Large Nationally Representative U.S. Sample
The authors predicted quantitatively meaningful and statistically significant variation in dementia prevalence among persons approximately age 80 according to individuals' observed characteristics when they were about age 60.An individual's baseline cognitive abilities, health, and functional limitations are the strongest predictors of dementia, whereas parental health, family size, marital history, and demographics are the weakest ones.Having… Continue reading Identifying Early Predictors of #Cognitive Impairment and Dementia in a Large Nationally Representative U.S. Sample
#Ride Free with Your #Dog: Drop Your Backpack of Stones!
In life, we often find ourselves on a journey, one that we believe should lead us to some elusive destination. We embark on this adventure carrying not just our essentials but also a heavy burden of concerns, doubts, fears, and expectations. We call this burden our “backpack of stones.” But as we trek along this… Continue reading #Ride Free with Your #Dog: Drop Your Backpack of Stones!
Inequalities in urban greenness and epigenetic aging: Different associations by race and neighborhood socioeconomic status
Slower epigenetic aging is associated with exposure to green space (greenness); however, the longitudinal relationship has not been well studied, particularly in minority groups. We investigated the association between 20-year exposure to greenness [Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)] and epigenetic aging in a large, biracial (Black/white), U.S. urban cohort. Using generalized estimating equations adjusted for… Continue reading Inequalities in urban greenness and epigenetic aging: Different associations by race and neighborhood socioeconomic status
Quaternary Ammonium Compounds: A Chemical Class of Emerging Concern
Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), a large class of chemicals that includes high production volume substances, have been used for decades as antimicrobials, preservatives, and antistatic agents and for other functions in cleaning, disinfecting, personal care products, and durable consumer goods. QAC use has accelerated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the banning of 19… Continue reading Quaternary Ammonium Compounds: A Chemical Class of Emerging Concern
Community-level age bias and older adult mortality
As the older adult population increases, understanding the health effects of bias against older adults is increasingly important. Whether structural forms of age bias predict worse health has received limited attention.ObjectiveWe hypothesized that communities with greater age bias would have higher mortality among residents aged 65 and older. We expected the association to be unique… Continue reading Community-level age bias and older adult mortality
