Prescription opioid misuse among university students: A systematic review.

Misuse of prescription opioids has substantially increased in the past decade among the general population, including among university students. Relative to the literature concerning opioid misuse among the general population, little information is available regarding the college student population. The purpose of the present study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature concerning the prevalence of prescription opioid misuse among the university student population.

Visual detection of affordances for aperture negotiation in people with Parkinson disease.

Background: An essential requirement for the guidance of action in cluttered environments is that people can accurately perceive what actions are afforded by particular surroundings given the person's action capabilities. Research has shown that healthy young individuals turn their shoulders when walking through a doorway when the aperture is less than a certain percentage of their shoulder width and that they are able to detect this critical width with visual inspection. These findings imply that movements are constrained by perception of the environment in body-scaled unit.

What Is ? Evidence from nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences suggests the need for a new classification.

The evolutionary relationships between , , , , , , and are poorly understood. In order to further explore the evolutionary boundaries of and compare potential taxonomic solutions for this diverse group and its relatives, we conducted phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence data from alcohol dehydrogenase (1-I2), beta fibrinogen (-I7), interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (3), and cytochrome- (). Phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial and nuclear genes produced similar topologies although levels of nodal support varied.

Targeted Capture of Phylogenetically Informative Ves SINE Insertions in Genus Myotis.

Identification of retrotransposon insertions in nonmodel taxa can be technically challenging and costly. This has inhibited progress in understanding retrotransposon insertion dynamics outside of a few well-studied species. To address this problem, we have extended a retrotransposon-based capture and sequence method (ME-Scan [mobile element scanning]) to identify insertions belonging to the Ves family of short interspersed elements (SINEs) across seven species of the bat genus Myotis.
