Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes severe functional impairments and involves both primary mechanical damage and secondary inflammation. Exosomes from human umbilical cord blood (HUCB) are emerging as promising therapies due to their bioactive components that regulate inflammation and support repair. Thirty-two male rats were randomly divided into four groups: Group A (laminectomy), Group B (contusion), Group C (contusion + PBS), and Group D (contusion + HUCB-exosomes). Contusion injuries were induced using the New York University (NYU) impactor method. HUCB-derived exosomes were extracted and confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), surface markers CD81 and CD9 via flowcytometry, along with dynamic light scattering (DLS), and zeta potential analysis. HUCB-exosomes were administered without prior in vitro expansion; 30 minutes' post-injury, Group D received 100µg of HUCB-exosomes via tail vein injection for one week. Motor and behavioral functions were assessed using the Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) scale, narrow beam test (NBT), rotarod test, and open-field test. Western blotting was performed eight weeks' post-injury to analyze changes in inflammatory cytokines, and histological changes were assessed via H&E staining. HUCB-exosome administration significantly enhanced functional recovery in SCI rats, as evidenced by higher BBB scores, improved narrow beam, rotarod, and open-field performances compared with PBS and contusion groups. Histological analysis showed reduced cavity formation, increased neuronal density, and decreased gliosis in the exosome-treated group. Western blot results revealed marked downregulation of TNF-α, NLRP3, and GFAP expression. Additionally, exosome therapy restored antioxidant balance by reducing ROS and GSSG levels while elevating GSH, and immunohistochemistry confirmed reduced expression of apoptotic and autophagy markers. This study highlights the therapeutic potential of HUCB-derived exosomes in SCI, demonstrating their ability to attenuate inflammation and promote functional recovery. These findings support HUCB-exosomes as a promising, non-cell-based treatment strategy for SCI.

ABSTRACT As artificial intelligence (AI) tools become more effective at supporting instructional preparation, their use in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has gained increasing practical value. This study investigates how AI‐curated video illustrations can support student learning in conceptually demanding fields, such as chemical engineering and nanotechnology. Over 15 weeks, students from a large public university in New York engaged with short, AI‐selected animations prior to and during class time of a nanotechnology course, utilizing a flipped‐classroom instructional model. Weekly surveys captured perceptions of comprehension, clarity, engagement, and retention, while final grades were compared with two prior cohorts (2023 and 2024) who received traditional lecture‐based instruction. Results showed consistent increases in comprehension and retention scores, a statistically significant improvement in final grades over the traditional cohorts, and reduced grade variability. Thematic analysis of student feedback highlighted appreciation for visual clarity and brevity, alongside critiques of artificial narration and conceptual abstraction. Taken together, these findings suggest that, when paired with interactive instruction, AI‐curated content can sharpen conceptual understanding and elevate pedagogical delivery in advanced STEM education.

BackgroundBy 2050, it is predicted that 150 million people globally will have Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Current disease modifying therapies are not widely available and nearly 40% of dementias could be prevented or delayed through modifying risk factors. Observational studies show that adherence to the Mediterranean DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet is associated with lower risk of cognitive decline and lower cognitive age. The MIND diet is rich in bioactives, including carotenoids, which have antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties. Few adults discuss AD‐risk reduction with their healthcare providers and dietary recommendations for AD risk reduction are not a part of routine care.MethodIn this ongoing study, 150 participants of the New York University (NYU) Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) are asked to complete a subjective (15‐item MIND diet score) and objective (Veggie Meter) diet assessment at their annual study visit. The Veggie Meter is a reflection spectroscopy device that measures carotenoid levels non‐invasively and correlates with plasma carotenoids. We tested the strength of the relationship between the MIND diet and Veggie Meter scores. Participants receive a report of their scores with resources to learn more.Result117 participants have complete data (mean age: 73 ± 7.4). Participants are 73% female; 59% of participants identified as White, 41% as Black or African American, 7% Hispanic, and <1% as Asian. The mean MIND diet score was 7.1 ± 2.1 (max score 15; 47% ± 14 adherence). The mean Veggie Meter score was 339 ± 126 (max score 850). 85% of participants report taking dietary supplements. Preliminary correlations between Veggie Meter scores and total MIND diet score is r=0.3, p <0.05.ConclusionMean observed MIND diet and Veggie Meter scores show less than desirable intake of carotenoid‐rich foods for reduction of AD/ADRD risk among participants. The majority of participants take dietary supplements, and few consume a diet supportive of brain health. Few cohort studies include subjective and objective diet assessments with actionable feedback for participants. These preliminary findings emphasize the need for further research into dietary interventions for prevention or delay of cognitive decline.

Graduate public history students at Queens College, City University of New York, worked with Queens Public Library and the community archiving organization Queens Memory to collaborate with a local community memory group, the Olde Towne of Flushing Burial Ground Conservancy, to reclaim a segregated, deliberately erased, and forgotten site of Black and Indigenous history. Through intergenerational collaboration, faculty, students, library staff, and the Conservancy activated a public history classroom with community-engaged service-learning, producing research and digital class projects that contributed to New York City’s formal recognition and investment in the Burial Ground as a site of mourning, memorial, and celebration of Black, Indigenous, and marginalized lives.

Traumatic musculoskeletal injuries may result in chronic pain and mobility limitations, decreasing quality of life, and increasing predisposition to comorbid disorders. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) utilizes palpatory assessment and application of manual forces as an adjunct intervention for musculoskeletal disease. Multiple studies have demonstrated OMT's potential benefits for a range of disease states, but data on osteopathic OMT are limited. The objective of our study was to understand the potential benefits of a novel OMT for trauma outpatient program for the care of injured patients suffering chronic pain and mobility limitations. In 2021, the New York University (NYU) Langone Hospital-Long Island Level 1 Trauma Center established a novel outpatient OMT for Trauma Program (OTP). We performed a retrospective analysis of OTP patients seen from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022 with the chief complaint of refractory chronic (persistent≥3 months since inciting injury) postinjury pain and mobility limitations (inclusion criterion). We excluded patients missing follow-up, then extracted and analyzed patient demographic, injury-specific, and OMT data. Data are presented as frequencies (percentages) or medians (interquartile range [IQR]). Forty-three patients (75.4 % of patients treated at the outpatient OTP) reported a mechanism of injury (MOI). Of these, 30 (69.8 %) met the inclusion criteria, and seven met the exclusion criterion, yielding 23 total patients for the analysis (40.3 % of the total OTP population). 73.9 % were female aged 46 (39-59) years old. Patients presented 3.00 (0.58-20) years since etiologic injury. MOIs included 56.5 % motor vehicle collisions (MVC), 21.7 % falls, 8.7 % penetrating, and 13.0 % sports-related or lifting injuries. Patients reported 3 (2-4) treatment modalities tried and 2 (1-3) medications attempted prior to the OTP. After the first OMT session, 95.7 % of patients reported subjective improvement in pain with a decrease in pain score 3 (3-7) out of 10. After OMT, patients also self-reported ease of activities of daily living (ADLs, 82.6 %), improved sleep hygiene (26.1 %), improved anxiety/mood (65.2 %), and decreased use of analgesic medication (13.0 %). Four (17.4 %) reported post-OMT complication of 2-3 days of self-limited, mild musculoskeletal pain. Univariate logistic regression models demonstrate that OMT benefited patients regardless of time since inciting injury. OMT may benefit refractory chronic traumatic pain and mobility limitations regardless of the time since inciting the injury. This is the first major publication from the OTP and bolsters proof-of-concept for an organized OMT program at a level 1 trauma center. Further study, including comparative analysis with more formalized pain assessments utilizing validated tools as well as standardized OMT session surveys, is warranted.

ABSTRACT Community colleges were among the hardest hit sectors of higher education during the Covid-19 pandemic and the resultant challenges have had lasting repercussions for students, faculty, and institutions. This exploratory study surveyed 320 community college faculty across six of the seven community colleges that make up the City University of New York (CUNY) in order to understand faculty perceptions of changes and challenges in community college education post-pandemic. Findings indicate that an overwhelming majority of survey respondents believe that there have been major changes in the community colleges where they teach since the pandemic and that these changes have either been largely negative or mixed. A majority of respondents identified students’ lack of academic preparation and academic disengagement as among the most significant changes and primary challenges facing their students post-pandemic. Respondents reported that students face greater external constraints, such as full-time employment, family responsibilities, and financial need, in their pursuit of a degree since the pandemic and that these challenges are exacerbated by the institutional push for full-time enrollment. Further, the findings reveal a perception of lack of administration support for faculty and an increase in transactional views of community college education. The study indicates a need for further research on challenges in community college education since the pandemic including the impact of online education on student learning and the campus community, the implications of AI tools on student learning, and which pedagogical practices, and college-level policies, genuinely foster student engagement and academic preparation in the post-pandemic era.

Faculty often play a key role in vertical transfer (student transfer from community college associate-degree programs to bachelor’s-degree programs), including preparing students academically, advising them, and evaluating their transfer credits. However, faculty’s knowledge and views about transfer have received little formal study. The current research surveyed the transfer knowledge and views of almost 4,000 faculty at the 20 community and bachelor’s colleges of The City University of New York. Using a conceptual lens of transfer as a strategic action field, the research examined the relationships between faculty’s characteristics and transfer views. Across both associate- and bachelor’s-college sectors, faculty evinced limited knowledge about transfer but tended to state that their sector should make credit transfer decisions. However, the two sectors’ views often differed. For example, faculty at bachelor’s colleges were more likely to state that transfer students should retake their associate courses, and that difference was larger when comparing community college faculty with faculty at the most selective bachelor’s colleges. The findings suggest specific actions that can be taken to facilitate vertical transfer, including providing faculty with more transfer information and meliorating the impact of differing sectors’ views. Facilitating vertical transfer is essential for ensuring higher education equity and social mobility.

Objective:The advantages and acceptance of resident-led subspecialty journal clubs are understudied. The study aimed to implement a resident-led virtual subspecialty journal club in a pediatric residency program to assess its perceived benefits and acceptability.Materials and Methods: This prospective pilot study, conducted from January 2023 to June 2024, involved all pediatric residents at the institution State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate, Health Sciences University, Brooklyn, New York. It consisted of 2 phases: implementation of a resident-led, attending-supervised virtual journal club and a subsequent resident survey. The biweekly journal club reviewed a range of articles—including basic science, clinical trials, and systematic reviews—focused on neonatology and infant health. After 20 sessions, an anonymous online survey was distributed to residents across all postgraduate years to assess perceived educational benefits.Results:Out of 84 residents, 73 responded to the survey, and 83.5% (61/73) attended at least 1 session. More than 60% of residents indicated that the journal club facilitated staying updated on literature and improving medical knowledge. Over half of the residents noted that the journal club aided in understanding methodology, statistics, and bolstered confidence in reviewing literature.Conclusion:The resident-led journal club garnered positive feedback, with most residents reporting multiple perceived benefits.

Objective To examine the joint effects of food insecurity and housing instability on academic attrition among college students. Participants A representative sample of 3,160 matriculated students from the City University of New York (CUNY). Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Fall 2023. Food insecurity was assessed using USDA’s Six-Item Food Security Module; Housing instability included inability to pay rent/mortgage or utilities. Academic attrition was defined as college withdrawal or academic probation. Adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) were estimated using log-binomial regression. Additive interaction was assessed using relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI). Results Students experiencing both insecurities had over twice the risk of attrition (aPR 2.16, 95%CI: 1.83–2.20). Housing instability posed a greater risk than food insecurity alone (aPR 1.55 vs. 1.30). RERI indicated a synergistic effect (RERI = 0.31, 95%CI: 0.08–0.54). Conclusions Addressing both food and housing insecurity may reduce academic attrition and support student success.

In the Changing Lives Changing Brians project (REFAWOR), which is supported by a NIH R01 grant 2020-26, we study life-course effects of family and work in adulthood for risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) in older adults by exploiting the Norwegian Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT), a large ongoing prospective population level study that includes cohorts born 1900-1960, including more than 11700 participants aged 70+ years, combined with Norwegian national registry data. The project is led by Columbia University in New York, together with UPEnn and The Norwegian Institute of Public Health and includes 22 researchers from US and Europe. Family patterns have fundamentally changed in Western countries in the second half of the 20th century, with more childlessness, partnership disruptions, cohabitation and patchwork-families. The cognitive reserve theory posits that individuals accrue cognitive abilities throughout their lives, offering a buffer against cognitive decline. Factors such as education, engaging occupations, and participation in stimulating activities contribute to building cognitive reserve. With a global surge in the aging population, understanding modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline gains prominence. This workshop investigates the cognitive reserve theory using Norwegian population-based data, features four presenters and a summary by the chairs. The workshop topic is relevant for the EPH Conference and international audience as it addresses social determinants of dementia - a highly prevalent non-communicable chronic disease of growing importance. First, Dr Zothcheva investigates how physical and cognitive demands at the workplace are associated with the risk of dementia. Secondly, Strand, and Mekonnen delve into the effects of lifetime employment, number of children and marital histories on risk of mild cognitive impairment and dementia. Thirdly, Mekonnen gives an overview of the mediation pathways linking education and dementia, before Ellingjord-Dale informs of the potential for prevention by addressing factors related to lifestyle, family and work. Finally, our chairs open up for questions from the audience, they sum up the findings and inform them of our plans in the REFAWOR project. Since its first publication in 2022, results from REFAWOR have been published in highly ranked journals such as the Lancet regional health Europe and Neurology and received attention from media worldwide by outlets such as the Guardian, CNN and Daily mail. In this workshop, new and published results from the project will be presented and synthesized, and these presentations contribute valuable insights into the multifaceted dynamics of cognitive reserve and its implications for aging well.Key messages• Modern family, education and work life influence dementia risk, and mediating factors related to lifestyle and health factors across the life-course matter.• Addressing modifiable risk factors and factors related to marital and occupational status could potentially prevent more than half of all dementia.

‘How to culturally hybridize?’ is a conversation from the momentum series that took place in April 2025 at New York University (NYU) Abu Dhabi between artist and writer Andrea Pagnes and artist and researcher Chinasa Ezugha. They meet to discuss questions about the complex, layered identities among Igbo, Nigerian and British cultures, as well as the colonial power structures that underpin them. They speak openly about sensitive topics that touch upon the struggles and effects of racism, female migrants, intersectional feminism, and language as resistance, faith-based action and abuse within communities. They share experiences of discrimination and gatekeeping of opportunities related to inclusivity and labour and introduce Ezugha’s ongoing research, which focuses on food as a form of warfare. They conclude by envisioning performance art as an existential practice capable of provoking reflection and action.

ABSTRACT Community colleges disproportionately enroll low-income families, where many of them come from households earning under $50,000 a year. However, attending community college can still be unaffordable for these families, particularly in a city with a high cost of living. Each year, many students from the City University of New York (CUNY) struggle to cover non-tuition expenses like MetroCards or transit passes, textbooks, technology access, and/or childcare, and this could lead them to drop-out. This study examined the experiences of community college students enrolled at two CUNY community colleges. Treatment students were randomly assigned to receive free monthly MetroCards from Nov 2023 to June 2024. The experiences of treatment and control students were collected via surveys and their academic data was provided by CUNY. Survey results underscore the crucial role of public transportation, with most respondents reporting use of public transportation for school. An overwhelming 90% of them considered public transportation somewhat unaffordable or unaffordable. Treatment students also expressed appreciation for the free MetroCards. Without worrying about how to afford transportation, they could focus on their academics. When compared with control students, treatment students who picked up their free monthly MetroCards at least once during the study were more likely to persist into the Spring 2024 semester. They were also more likely to persist into the Fall 2024 semester or graduate in Summer 2024. This highlights the importance of addressing non-academic needs, such as transportation, of low-income students, which then have implications for their persistence in college.

AimsWe aimed to develop and externally validate a convolutional neural network (CNN) using sinus rhythm electrocardiograms (ECGs) and CHARGE-AF features to predict incident paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), benchmarking its performance against the CHARGE-AF score.Methods and resultsWe curated 157 192 sinus ECGs from 76 986 patients within the New York University (NYU) Langone Health system, splitting data into training, validation, and test sets. Two cohorts, from suburban US outpatient practices and Greek tertiary hospitals, were used for external validation. The model utilizing the sinus ECG signal and all CHARGE-AF features achieved the highest test set area under the receiver operator curve (AUC) (0.89) and area under the precision recall curve (AUPRC) (0.69), outperforming the CHARGE-AF score alone. Model robustness was maintained in the external US cohort (AUC 0.90, AUPRC 0.67) and the European cohort (AUC 0.85, AUPRC 0.78). Subgroup analyses confirmed consistent performance across age, sex, and race strata. A CNN using ECG signals alone retained strong predictive ability, particularly when simulating missing or inaccurate clinical data.ConclusionOur CNN integrating sinus rhythm ECGs and CHARGE-AF features demonstrated superior predictive performance over traditional risk scoring alone for detecting incident paroxysmal AF. The model maintained accuracy across geographically and clinically diverse external validation cohorts, supporting its potential for broad implementation in AF screening strategies.

The focus of the paper is on the book by the American scholar Stephen L. Dyson Ancient Marbles to American Shores: Classical Archaeology in the United States (1998), devoted to the emergence and shaping of this field in the United States. The author of this fundamental work is a professor of classical philology, president of the American Institute of Archaeology from 1995 to 1998, professor of Wesleyan University and the State University of New York at Buffalo, and over the course of his career director of numerous research projects in Italy. His research interests cover a wide range of issues in the history and archaeology of Rome and Roman Italy. He has taught numerous courses for undergraduates and graduate students, including those of a historiographical nature. The book in question is, without exaggeration, the first synthetic work tackling the complex process of the formation of classical archaeology in the United States. Dyson analyzes the work of leading American scholars, describes their achievement, particularly fruits of the study of ancient Greek and Roman sites and remains, and the role of institutions such as museums and universities in the professionalization of classical archaeology in the US. Some of Dyson’s arguments concerning the stages, trends, issues, and prospects in the development of classical archaeology in the US provoke reflection, including on the state of affairs in Ukrainian research and education. In particular, the author of the paper draws attention to the importance of intergenerational continuity in this kind of scholarship, the role of state institutions and programs, and the state of higher education in history, where such specialists are trained. The paper concludes with some considerations regarding the future of classical archaeology in Ukraine.

This bibliometric analysis explores the growing body of research on library anxiety, a psychological barrier that hampers effective library use and academic performance among students. Since the 1980s, library anxiety has evolved from a conceptual framework into a critical area of research. By examining publications from 1992 to 2023, this study investigates the trends, key contributors, and geographical distribution of research on library anxiety. The findings highlight the increasing scholarly attention given to this topic, with substantial contributions from North America and Asia. Key journals, including Library Philosophy and Practice and Library Review have played pivotal roles in disseminating research on this phenomenon. Notable authors, such as A.J. Onwuegbuzie and Q.G. Jiao, have been instrumental in shaping the discourse, with a clear emphasis on the psychological and emotional dimensions of library anxiety. This study also identifies the top institutions publishing research such as the City University of New York and the University of the Punjab. Though research continues, gaps remain in understanding the intersection of library anxiety with digital resources and virtual libraries, suggesting areas for future exploration. The analysis offers valuable insights for academic libraries and educators aiming to mitigate the impact of library anxiety on student success.
