Identifying the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in Emotion Regulation Among Youth Using the JoyPop App: Survey Study.

Background: The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) is an important threshold to consider when evaluating the meaningfulness of improvement following an intervention. The JoyPop app is an evidence-based smartphone app designed to improve resilience and emotion regulation. Information is needed regarding the JoyPop app's MCID among culturally diverse youth.

Preeclampsia in mice carrying fetuses with APOL1 risk variants.

African-American women have a maternal mortality rate approximately three times higher than European-American women. This is partially due to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including preeclampsia. Fetal high-risk genotype increases preeclampsia risk, although mechanisms remain elusive.

Rodent Model of Cardiopulmonary Bypass Demonstrates Systemic Inflammation and Neuromarker Changes.

Introduction: The physiologic derangements imposed by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can result in complications such as postoperative delirium. We aim to validate a rodent survival model of CPB demonstrating a systemic inflammatory response and hypothesize that this contributes to post-CPB delirium.

Methods: Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to three groups: 1) Sham peripheral surgical cannulation, 2) CPB followed by acute phase harvest, or 3) CPB followed by 24-h survival.
