Individuals from 49% of 208 invited programs responded. Nearly all programs reported teaching prevention (96.1%), health promotion (95.1%), and wellness content (98.0%), while fewer reported teaching population health (78.4%). However, only 15% of PHPW topics were covered in depth. Facilitators and barriers to the delivery of PHPW content were reciprocal and included faculty with PHPW expertise, logistical flexibility and support, and the perceived importance of PHPW content. The majority of US DPT programs are teaching PHPW content. Lack of trained faculty and lack of professional competencies hinder further integration of PHPW content into curricula. The findings of this study highlight avenues for additional research to determine professional PHPW competencies and additional educational needs for faculty members.

This includes development of the immune system, somatic growth and maintenance, and morphogenesis. However, the genetic background of the host can also affect these life history traits. To this end, we investigated the effects of the microbiota on growth, development, and immune gene expression on two populations of threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus), one anadromous and one freshwater. We tested the hypotheses that microbial colonization and the genetic background of the host would affect survival, cytokine gene expression, growth, and development. We raised in vitro crosses of stickleback larvae with and without conventional microbiota. signaling pathway We then exposed all these treatments to Vibrio anguillarum, a potential fish pathogen, in a full factorial design. We found stickleback raised without conventional microbiota had smaller swim bladders relative to those raised with conventional microbiota. Stickleback raised with conventional microbiota exhibited small increases in cytokine gene expression. We found no differences in growth or survival regardless of treatment. These results are consistent with other investigations that show microbiota disruption, in early life, can alter host organ and tissue development and immune responses. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images are crucial unstructured data for prognostic evaluation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We developed and validated a prognostic system based on the MRI features and clinical data of locoregionally advanced NPC (LA-NPC) patients to distinguish low-risk patients with LA-NPC, for whom concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is sufficient. This multicenter, retrospective study included 3444 patients with LA-NPC from January 1, 2010, to January 31, 2017. A three-dimensional convolutional neural network was used to learn the image features from pretreatment MRI images. An eXtreme Gradient Boosting model was trained with the MRI features and clinical data to assign an overall score to each patient. Comprehensive evaluations were implemented to assess the performance of the predictive system. We applied the overall score to distinguish high-risk patients from low-risk patients. The clinical benefit of induction chemotherapy (IC) was analyzed in each risk group by survival curves. We constructed a prognostic system displaying a concordance index of 0.776 (95% CI = 0.746-0.806) for the internal validation cohort and 0.757 (95% CI = 0.695-0.819), 0.719 (95% CI = 0.650-0.789) and 0.746 (95% CI = 0.699-0.793) for the three external validation cohorts, which presented a statistically significant improvement compared to the conventional tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system. In the high-risk group, patients who received IC plus CCRT had better outcomes than patients who
