Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is less common in pregnancy than in the general population; however, it poses significant challenges in diagnosis and management. These include the potential teratogenicity of medications, radiation exposure from imaging modalities, physiological changes associated with pregnancy, and obstetric complications that may arise. Although there are general guidelines for trauma in the obstetric patient, they are not specific to TBI, and most recommendations are based on low-level evidence or institutional experiences.
We conducted a retrospective review of the hospital trauma registry over a 10-year period. We included all the patients admitted to our neurosurgical intensive care unit …

Peritoneal malignancy often indicates disruptions in multiple physiological systems resulting from widespread cancer. The heterogenous origin and dynamic nature of peritoneal cancer make it difficult to treat with standard approaches that fit into guidelines. We describe how successful treatment should address the underlying pathology, the systemic response to surgical treatments and target the immune perturbations that facilitate the establishment and propagation of this multifaceted disease.

Salvage endoscopic resection of residual esophageal neoplasia for patients that prefer to avoid surgery or are poor surgical candidates has been reported. We report a case of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma with residual disease after definitive chemoradiotherapy, that was treated with nonexposed endoscopic full thickness resection. This endoscopic resection achieved negative margins, with postresection surveillance endoscopy and imaging showing no evidence of disease. This case highlights the potential use of salvage endoscopic resection as a therapy for residual gastric cancer after chemoradiation in patients where surgery is not an option.

Lactate-derived N-lactoyl-phenylalanine (Lac-Phe) was recently identified as an lactate-derived circulating metabolite that reduces feeding and obesity, but mechanisms that underlie the metabolic benefits of Lac-Phe remain unknown. Here we demonstrated that Lac-Phe directly inhibits hypothalamic neurons that express Agouti-related protein (AgRP), resulting in an indirect activation of anorexigenic neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH). We also found that both AgRP inhibition and PVH activation are required to mediate Lac-Phe-induced hypophagia. Further, we show that Lac-Phe inhibits AgRP neurons via activating the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel, and inhibition of the KATP channel blunts effects of Lac-Phe to suppress …

Hepatic gluconeogenesis is a critical process that generates glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors during fasting to support vital organs like the brain and red blood cells. Postprandially, this process is rapidly suppressed to allow for glucose storage as glycogen and lipids in the liver. Failure to suppress gluconeogenesis after meals leads to elevated postprandial glucose levels, a key feature of type 2 diabetes. This dynamic switch is regulated by insulin and glucagon, but insulin resistance impairs this regulation. In this study, we identified a novel mechanism involving postprandial circulating hyaluronan (HA) and lysosomal hyaluronidase-1 (HYAL1) that suppresses hepatic gluconeogenesis by rewiring …

Cognitive abilities are heritable and influenced by socioeconomic status (SES). It is critical to understand the association between SES and cognition beyond genetic propensity to inform potential benefits of SES-based interventions and to determine if such associations vary across (i) cognitive domains, (ii) facets of SES, and/or (iii) genetic propensity for different aspects of cognition. We examined the contributions of neighborhood socioeconomic advantage, family income, and polygenic scores (PGS) for domains of cognition (i.e., general cognitive ability, executive function, learning and memory, fluid reasoning) in a sample of children (ages 9-10;

Mitochondrial membrane phospholipids impact mitochondrial structure and function by influencing the assembly and activity of membrane proteins. Although the specific roles of the three most abundant mitochondrial phospholipids, phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and cardiolipin (CL), have been extensively studied, the precise function of less abundant phosphatidylserine (PS) is not yet determined. Here, we used genetic and nutritional manipulation to engineer a set of yeast mutants, including a mutant completely devoid of PS, to assess its role in mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipid homeostasis. To circumvent the confounding effect of downstream PS products, PE and PC, we exogenously supplied ethanolamine that allows …
Preliminary Investigation Of Nitrogen Rate Influence On Irrigated Bermudagrass Forage Production, Bronc Finch, Lance Blythe
Preliminary Investigation Of Nitrogen Rate Influence On Irrigated Bermudagrass Forage Production, Bronc Finch, Lance Blythe
Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations
Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) forage production recommendations are often developed in natural environments with available water limitations, often resulting in highly variable responses and lower average responses. As farmland ownership changes and agriculture and irrigation technologies become more affordable the amount of irrigated hay production has increased. While much of the agronomic management does not differ between rain-fed and irrigated environments, nutrient use and uptake dynamics may. This requires a reevaluation and potential adjustment of current recommendations to allow for increased yield potential of irrigated production systems without detrimental impacts on the system. The objective of this study was to identify …

Journal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences
Empirical evidence indicates that rising consumption of animal meat negatively could contribute to climate change and public health. As a result, meat alternatives such as plant-based meat (PBM) have emerged as a potential solution. However, there seems to be a dearth of insights regarding significant drivers of people’s behavioral intentions (BI) towards PBM. This study leverages the theory of planned behavior to determine whether attitude, social norms, and perceived behavioral control influence BI towards PBM. Survey data was collected from 380 respondents in Oman to test the relationships between the constructs in the research framework. The results indicated that attitude …

The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among pathogenic bacteria represents a major global health challenge, demanding innovative strategies to address it. This study investigates the development of antimicrobial formulations by combining zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) with natural extracts, particularly essential oils (EOs). ZnO NPs possess well-documented antimicrobial properties due to their ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and disrupt bacterial membranes. Similarly, EOs are rich in bioactive compounds that can damage bacterial structures through mechanisms like membrane disruption and enzyme inhibition. The research focuses on synthesising and characterising ZnO NPs and evaluating their antimicrobial activity—both alone and …

Food waste is a current global issue due to the increasing population and climate change. With this in mind, consumers have become more aware of the need for sustainable food preservation methods and they search for natural products. Traditional preservatives can be toxic/harmful to humans in large doses. The increased demand is for using natural preservatives in food preservation such as essential oils (EOs) and Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). In our research a green chemistry method was used to synthesise Silver nanoparticles AgNPs with the amino acid tyrosine. The AgNPs were characterised using UV-Vis, concentration and TEM. The AgNPs had a …

This study investigates the effectiveness of edible coatings in extending the shelf life of strawberries while enhancing their sensory properties too. The primary objective is to preserve the visual appeal, texture, and overall quality of strawberries during storage through the application of a bio-based edible coating. The coating formulation consisted of a ternary blend of pectin, sodium alginate, and gelatin, enriched with thyme essential oil at two concentrations (5% and 10%). Further, strawberries were immersed in the formulated coating solutions and stored under controlled conditions. The results revealed a significant extension in shelf life for coated strawberries up to 9 …
