0 ± 0.6% vs. 14.8 ± 0.6%, p ≤ 0.001). Interestingly, we observe macrophage hypercellularity in conjunction with erythroid hyperplasia in the bone marrow during stress erythropoiesis in Nrf2+/+ controls, with both impaired in Nrf2-/- mice. We further confirm the finding of macrophage hypercellularity in another model of erythroid hyperplasia, the transgenic sickle cell mouse, characterized by hemolytic anemia and chronic stress erythropoiesis. Linsitinib concentration Our results revealed the role of Nrf2 in stress erythropoiesis in the bone marrow and that macrophage hypercellularity occurs concurrently with erythroid expansion during stress erythropoiesis. Macrophage hypercellularity is a previously underappreciated feature of stress erythropoiesis in sickle cell disease and recovery from blood loss. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely linked to the metabolic syndrome and is highly prevalent in bariatric patients. The criterion standard to diagnose NAFLD is a liver biopsy specifically to detect inflammatory changes characteristic of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Technologic advancements will improve the accuracy of current noninvasive modalities. Modification of risk factors via food management is important to prevent the progression of NAFLD to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. Several clinical trials are underway for pharmacologic treatment of NAFLD; currently the mainstay of treatment is insulin sensitizers and vitamin E. There is strong evidence bariatric surgery improves biochemical and histologic features of NAFLD and therefore, bariatric surgery should be considered as a treatment of NAFLD in patients with obesity. Gastric bypass exhibits antilipogenic, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic properties in the livers of laboratory animals; thereby, providing a unique window to study regulation of body adiposity and insulin resistance. OBJECTIVES To investigate the factors associated with whether assisted living communities (ALCs) in Florida evacuated or sheltered in place for Hurricane Irma in 2017, focusing on license type as a proxy for acuity of care. DESIGN Cross-sectional study using data collected by the state through its emergency reporting system and a post-hurricane survey. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Analyses included all 3112 ALCs in the emergency reporting system. A subset of 1880 that completed the survey provided supplementary data. METHODS χ2 tests were used to examine differences between ALC characteristics (license type, size, payment, profit status, rural location, geographical region, and being under an evacuation order) and whether they evacuated. Logistic regression was used to test associations between characteristics and evacuation status. RESULTS Of 3112 ALCs, 560 evacuated and 2552 sheltered in place. Bivariate analysis found significant associations between evacuation status and evacuation order, license type (mentalor shelter in place. OBJECTIVES To examine the bidirectional temporal relationship between depressive symptoms and cognition in relation to risk, reaction, and prodrome. DESIGN Cross-lag analysis of longitudinal data collected online at baseline and 12-month follow-up. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS A United Kingdom population cohort of 11,855 participants aged 50 years and over. MEASURES Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (depressive symptoms), cognitive measures Paired Associate Learning, Verbal Reasoning, Spatial Working Memory, and Digit Span. RESULTS Depressive symptoms predicted a decline in paired associates learning [β = -.020, P = .013, (95% confidence interval [CI], ‒.036, -.004)] and verbal reasoning [β = -.014, P = .016, (95% CI ‒.025, -.003)] but not vice versa. Depressive symptoms predicted [β = -.043, P less then .001, (95% CI ‒.060, -.026); β = -.029, P less then .001, (95% CI ‒.043, -.015)] and were predicted by [β = -.030, P = less then .001, (95% CI ‒.047, -.014); β = -.025, P = .003, (95% CI ‒.041, -.009)], a decline in spatial working memory and verbal digit span, respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Depressive symptoms may be either a risk factor or prodrome for cognitive decline. In addition, a decline in attention predicts depressive symptoms. Clinical implications and implications for further research are discussed. Venous stasis ulcers represent the majority of lower-extremity ulcers and place a considerable financial burden on the American health care system. Current standard of care therapies remain sub-optimal with 50% of venous stasis ulcers remaining unhealed after 4 months. Sixteen consecutive wounds were enrolled across 8 participants at a single center and underwent pH-driven therapy in addition to standard care as dictated by physicians. Following wound debridement, the pH of the wound bed was measured using pH strips. If acidic, normal saline was used to rinse the wound at every dressing change. If alkaline, nonsterile gauze was soaked in 0.25% acetic acid and applied to the wound for a minimum of 30 seconds. Participants were followed for 4 weeks with research staff observing compliance throughout. All 16 wounds had an alkaline pH at baseline, with an average pH of 8.25 ± 0.55 (range 7.5 to 9). Average area of the wound at the time of enrollment was (mean ± standard deviation) 285.48 ± 43.68 mm2, and average age of the wound was 37.5 ± 20.3 months (range 3 to 72). A simple linear regression model found a moderate relationship between pH and the rate of healing of chronic nonhealing venous stasis lower-extremity wounds (correlation coefficient  = 0.61). For every 1-unit change in pH, we can expect to see a change in wound size of 116.05 mm2. This is the first US-based, open-label, prospective study that examined the effect of pH on the rate of healing in chronic nonhealing venous stasis ulcer lowerextremity wounds. BACKGROUND Women utilise cardiac rehabilitation (CR) significantly less than men. Gender-tailored CR improves adherence and mental health outcomes when compared to traditional programs. This study ascertained the availability of women-only (W-O) CR classes globally. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, an online survey was administered to CR programs globally, assessing delivery of W-O classes, among other program characteristics. Univariate tests were performed to compare provision of W-O CR by program characteristics. RESULTS Data were collected in 93/111 countries with CR (83.8% country response rate); 1,082 surveys (32.1% program response rate) were initiated. Globally, 38 (40.9%; range 1.2-100% of programs/country) countries and 110 (11.8%) programs offered W-O CR. Women-Only CR was offered in 55 (7.4%) programs in high-income countries, versus 55 (16.4%) programs in low- and middle-income countries (p less then 0.001); it was offered most commonly in the Eastern Mediterranean region (n=5, 55.6%; p=0.22).
