The Acute and Chronic Effects of a Sediment-Bound Synthetic Musk, Galaxolide, on Hyalella azteca, Chironomus dilutus, and Lumbriculus variegatus.

Galaxolide is one of the most frequently used synthetic polycyclic musks on the market and is commonly detected in aquatic waterways. Previous studies have mainly evaluated the toxicity of this emerging contaminant using water-only exposures; however, its high Log K (5.9) suggests that this compound is likely to partition to sediments.

Beyond stigma: Understanding the "inclined abstainers" in military behavioral health-care utilization.

Low treatment utilization in Soldiers with combat-related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an ongoing issue. The critical concern is to better understand factors which prohibit a Soldier with PTSD who wants help from seeking treatment (an "inclined abstainer"). A total of 537 Active Duty Soldiers on a US Army post completed a brief survey comprising psychometrically validated measures of stigma, behavioral health treatment beliefs, resilience, PTSD symptoms, and treatment intentions.

Differences in hippocampal serotonergic activity in a mouse single prolonged stress paradigm impact discriminant fear acquisition and retention.

A mouse model of traumatic stress provided insight into a mechanism of individual differences in conditioned fear responding. Hippocampal serotonergic activity (metabolic turnover) was associated with increased behavioral freezing during fear acquisition in a portion of trauma-exposed subjects. These subjects later displayed enhanced fear to the neutral cue during retention.
