Background And Objectives: Data on hypersensitivity reactions (HR) to individual anti-seizure medications (ASMs), and reactions to additional ASMs, is often limited by sample size. This data is vital in helping clinicians identify initial and subsequent ASMs to use in treating persons with epilepsy (PWE). Using a very large dataset, our study attempts to quantify the occurrence of HR across 31 different ASMs.

The quality and amount of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and RNA (mtRNA) can be important indicators of mitochondrial and cell health, but are difficult to measure in complex tissues.
Methods: mtDNA and mtRNA in zebrafish retina samples were fluorescently labeled using RNAscope™ hybridization, then mitochondria were stained using immunohistochemistry.
Background: Under-represented subgroups in biomarker research linked to behavioral health trials may impact the promise of precision health. This mixed methods study examines biorepository donations across an Appalachian sample enrolled in a sugary drink reduction intervention trial.
Methods: Participants enrolled in the behavioral trial were asked to join an optional biomarker study and were tracked for enrollment and biospecimen returns (stool and/or buccal sample).
