Distributed Feature Representations Of Natural Stimuli Across Parallel Retinal Pathways, Jen-Chun Hsiang, Ning Shen, Florentina Soto, Daniel Kerschensteiner

2020-Current year OA Pubs

How sensory systems extract salient features from natural environments and organize them across neural pathways is unclear. Combining single-cell and population two-photon calcium imaging in mice, we discover that retinal ON bipolar cells (second-order neurons of the visual system) are divided into two blocks of four types. The two blocks distribute temporal and spatial information encoding, respectively. ON bipolar cell axons co-stratify within each block, but separate laminarly between them (upper block: diverse temporal, uniform spatial tuning; lower block: diverse spatial, uniform temporal tuning). ON bipolar cells extract temporal and spatial features similarly from artificial and naturalistic stimuli. In addition, …

One week after mild COVID-19, he started to experience generalized SPS symptomatology that steadily worsened the following 2-3 weeks, becoming unable to walk, requiring a walker, with significant thoracolumbar and bilateral leg …

Midwives’ Experiences Of Providing Pre-Eclampsia Care In A Low- And Middle-Income Country – A Qualitative Study, Isabella Garti, Michelle Gray, Angela Bromley, Jing-Yu (Benjamin) Tan

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Problem: Like other low- and middle-income countries, Ghana has high maternal mortality stemming from pre-eclampsia. Ghanaian midwives are frontline service providers of emergency care in obstetric complications and have the greatest potential to maximise pre-eclampsia outcomes. Little is known about the potential barriers and challenges to midwives' capacity to provide quality care in pre-eclampsia in Ghana. Therefore, we aimed to explore and gain insights into midwives’ experiences of pre-eclampsia care including their knowledge, skills, and psychological aspects such as midwives' resilience. Background: There is a rising global incidence of pre-eclampsia. Quality midwifery care in inter-professional collaborative practice is crucial to …

Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and SPORTDiscus was performed from inception to April 28, 2022. Studies were eligible if they included physical activity and A data in adults aged 45 years or older. Multi-level …

The Use Of Free Weight Squats In Sports: A Narrative Review—Terminology And Biomechanics, Michael H. Stone, W. Guy Hornsby, Satoshi Mizuguchi, Kimitake Sato, Daniel Gahreman, Marco Duca, Kevin M. Carroll, Michael W. Ramsey, Margaret E. Stone, Kyle C. Pierce, G. Gregory Haff

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

There is substantial evidence indicating that increased maximum strength as a result of training with squats, particularly full and parallel squats, is associated with superior athletic capabilities, such as sprinting, jumping and agility. Although full and parallel squats have been strongly associated with sport performance, there is also some evidence that the use of partial squats may provide angle specific adaptations that are likely advantageous for specific sporting activities. Partial squats may be particularly advantageous when trained in conjunction with full or parallel squats, as this practice results in a greater training effect. There is a paucity of evidence that …

Risk Of 30-Day All-Cause Readmission In Interstitial Lung Disease Patients After Covid-19: National-Level Data, Ali Vaeli Zadeh, Roshan Dinparastisaleh, Atefeh Vaezi, Debabrata Bandyopadhyay, Israel Rubinstein, Hassan Z Baig, Rafael Calderon-Candelario, Abdolrazagh Hashemi Shahraki, Takeshi Kawasaki, Jesper M Magnusson, Lars-Olof Larsson, Amir Sharafkhaneh, Jose D Herazo-Maya, Augustine S Lee, Mehdi Mirsaeidi

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Rationale

Hospital readmission within 30 days poses challenges for healthcare providers, policymakers, and patients because of its impact on care quality, costs, and outcomes. Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) are particularly affected by readmission, which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and reduced quality of life. Because small sample sizes have hindered previous studies, this study seeks to address this gap in knowledge by examining a large-scale dataset.

Objective: To determine the rate and probability of 30-day all-cause readmission and secondary outcomes in patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) or ILD admitted to the hospital.

Dhea: A Neglected Biological Signal That May Affect Fetal And Child Development, Natasha A. Bailey, Elysia Poggi Davis, Curt A. Sandman, Laura M. Glynn

Psychology Faculty Articles and Research

The stress-sensitive maternal hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis through the end-product cortisol, represents a primary pathway through which maternal experience shapes fetal development with long-term consequences for child neurodevelopment. However, there is another HPA axis end-product that has been widely ignored in the study of human pregnancy. The synthesis and release of dehydroepiandosterone (DHEA) is similar to cortisol, so it is a plausible, but neglected, biological signal that may influence fetal neurodevelopment. DHEA also may interact with cortisol to determine developmental outcomes. Surprisingly, there is virtually nothing known about human fetal exposure to prenatal maternal DHEA and offspring neurodevelopment. The current study …

Hypoimmune Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Survive Long Term In Fully Immunocompetent, Allogeneic Rhesus Macaques, Xiaomeng Hu, Nathaniel J Hogrebe, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Genetic engineering of allogeneic cell therapeutics that fully prevents rejection by a recipient's immune system would abolish the requirement for immunosuppressive drugs or encapsulation and support large-scale manufacturing of off-the-shelf cell products. Previously, we generated mouse and human hypoimmune pluripotent (HIP) stem cells by depleting HLA class I and II molecules and overexpressing CD47 (B2M

Programs And Processes For Advancing Pediatric Acute Kidney Support Therapy In Hospitalized And Critically Ill Children: A Report From The 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative (Adqi) Consensus Conference, Tara M Neumayr, Benan Bayrakci, Rahul Chanchlani, Akash Deep, Jolyn Morgan, Ayse Akcan Arikan, Rajit K Basu, Stuart L Goldstein, David J Askenazi, Adqi 26 Workgroup

Pediatric acute kidney support therapy (paKST) programs aim to reliably provide safe, effective, and timely extracorporeal supportive care for acutely and critically ill pediatric patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), fluid and electrolyte derangements, and/or toxin accumulation with a goal of improving both hospital-based and lifelong outcomes. Little is known about optimal ways to configure paKST teams and programs, pediatric-specific aspects of delivering high-quality paKST, strategies for transitioning from acute continuous modes of paKST to facilitate rehabilitation, or providing effective short- and long-term follow-up. As part of the 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative Conference, the first to focus on a …

Heterozygous Map3k20 Variants Cause Ectodermal Dysplasia, Craniosynostosis, Sensorineural Hearing Loss, And Limb Anomalies, Daniel Brooks, Elizabeth Burke, Sukyeong Lee, Tanya N Eble, Melanie O'Leary, Ikeoluwa Osei-Owusu, Heidi L Rehm, Shweta U Dhar, Lisa Emrick, David Bick, Michelle Nehrebecky, Ellen Macnamara, Dídac Casas-Alba, Judith Armstrong, Carolina Prat, Antonio F Martínez-Monseny, Francesc Palau, Pengfei Liu, David Adams, Undiagnosed Diseases Network, Seema Lalani, Jill A Rosenfeld, Lindsay C Burrage

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Biallelic pathogenic variants in MAP3K20, which encodes a mitogen-activated protein kinase, are a rare cause of split-hand foot malformation (SHFM), hearing loss, and nail abnormalities or congenital myopathy. However, heterozygous variants in this gene have not been definitively associated with a phenotype. Here, we describe the phenotypic spectrum associated with heterozygous de novo variants in the linker region between the kinase domain and leucine zipper domain of MAP3K20. We report five individuals with diverse clinical features, including craniosynostosis, limb anomalies, sensorineural hearing loss, and ectodermal dysplasia-like phenotypes who have heterozygous de novo variants in this specific region of the gene. …

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND: Amid rising rates of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) worldwide and in many regions of the USA, we conducted an audit study ("secret shopper study") to evaluate the influence of county-level buprenorphine capacity and rurality on county-level NOWS rates.

METHODS: In 2019, up to three phone calls were made to buprenorphine prescribers in the state of Missouri (USA). County-level buprenorphine capacity was defined as the number of clinicians (across all specialties) accepting pregnant people divided by the number of births. Multivariable negative binomial regression models estimated associations between buprenorphine capacity, rurality, and county-level NOWS rates, controlling for potential confounders …

Associations Between Covid-19 And Putative Markers Of Neuroinflammation: A Diffusion Basis Spectrum Imaging Study, Wei Zhang, Aaron J Gorelik, Qing Wang, Sara A Norton, Tamara Hershey, Arpana Agrawal, Janine D Bijsterbosch, Ryan Bogdan

2020-Current year OA Pubs

COVID-19 remains a significant international public health concern. Yet, the mechanisms through which symptomatology emerges remain poorly understood. While SARS-CoV-2 infection may induce prolonged inflammation within the central nervous system, the evidence primarily stems from limited small-scale case investigations. To address this gap, our study capitalized on longitudinal UK Biobank neuroimaging data acquired prior to and following COVID-19 testing (N = 416 including n = 224 COVID-19 cases; M

Rosiglitazone Improves Insulin Resistance But Does Not Improve Exercise Capacity In Individuals With Impaired Glucose Tolerance: A Randomized Clinical Study, Layla A Abushamat, Irene E Schauer, Cecilia C Low Wang, Stacey Mitchell, Leah Herlache, Mark Bridenstine, Roy Durbin, Janet K Snell-Bergeon, Judith G Regensteiner, Jane Eb Reusch

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Dysmetabolic states, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), characterized by insulin resistance (IR), are associated with fatty liver, increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and decreased functional exercise capacity (FEC). Rosiglitazone (RO) improves exercise capacity and IR in T2D. However, the effects of RO on FEC and other markers of CVD risk in prediabetes are unknown. We hypothesized that insulin sensitization with RO would improve exercise capacity and markers of CVD risk in participants with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Exercise performance (peak oxygen consumption and oxygen uptake kinetics), IR (homeostasis model assessment of IR and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index), and …

Crises In Antimicrobial Stewardship: Misuse Of Clarithromycin For Helicobacter Pylori Therapy, David Y Graham

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Helicobacter pylori is a class I carcinogen that infects more than 100 million individuals in the United States. Antimicrobial therapy for H. pylori has typically been prescribed empirically rather than based on susceptibility testing. Until recently, therapeutic recommendations have generally ignored the principles of antibiotic stewardship. A combination of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), amoxicillin, and clarithromycin (triple therapy) remains popular despite increasing clarithromycin resistance and poor cure rates. Concomitant therapy (a PPI, amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and metronidazole) is recommended and widely used despite all patients receiving at least one unneeded antibiotic. In 2020, the Food and Drug Administration approved vonoprazan, …

Approximately five million Ukrainians were displaced to the EU/EEA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. While tuberculosis (TB) notification rates per 100,000 Ukrainians in the EU/EEA remained stable, the number of notified TB cases in Ukrainians increased almost fourfold (mean 2019-2021: 201; 2022: 780). In 2022, 71% cases were notified in three countries, and almost 20% of drug-resistant TB cases were of Ukrainian origin. Targeted healthcare services for Ukrainians are vital for early diagnosis and treatment, and preventing transmission.

Many factors affect patient outcome after congenital heart surgery, including the complexity of the heart disease, pre-operative status, patient specific factors (prematurity, nutritional status and/or presence of comorbid conditions or genetic syndromes), and post-operative residual lesions. The Residual Lesion Score is a novel tool for assessing whether specific residual cardiac lesions after surgery have a measurable impact on outcome. The goal is to understand which residual lesions can be tolerated and which should be addressed prior to leaving the operating room. The Residual Lesion Score study is a large multicentre prospective study designed to evaluate the association of Residual Lesion …

Current And Future Approaches To Pediatric Anxiety Disorder Treatment, André Zugman, Anderson M. Winkler, Purnima Qamar, Daniel Samuel Pine

School of Medicine Publications

This overview critically appraises the literature on the treatment of pediatric anxiety disorders. The two established treatments for these conditions comprise cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and antidepressant medications. Many youths receiving these treatments fail to achieve remission, which creates a need for new treatments. After summarizing the literature on CBT and currently available medications, the authors describe research that lays a foundation for improvements in the treatment of pediatric anxiety disorders. This foundation leverages neuroscientific investigations, also described in the overview, which provide insights on mechanisms of successful treatment.

Il-33 Potentiates Histaminergic Itch, Anna M Trier, Aaron M Ver Heul, Avery Fredman, Victoria Le, Zhen Wang, Kelsey Auyeung, James Meixiong, Paola Lovato, Michael J Holtzman, Fang Wang, Xinzhong Dong, Andrew L Ji, Brian S Kim

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND: Itch is a common symptom that can greatly diminish quality of life. Histamine is a potent endogenous pruritogen, and while antihistamines are often the first-line treatment for itch, in conditions like chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), many patients remain symptomatic while receiving maximal doses. Mechanisms that drive resistance to antihistamines are poorly defined.

OBJECTIVES: Signaling of the alarmin cytokine IL-33 in sensory neurons is postulated to drive chronic itch by inducing neuronal sensitization to pruritogens. Thus, we sought to determine if IL-33 can augment histamine-induced (histaminergic) itch.

METHODS: Itch behavior was assessed in response to histamine after IL-33 or saline …
