Pregnancy Eating Attitudes-Questionnaire (PEA-Q): Exploratory factor analysis and psychometric performance in a pregnant community sample with body mass index ≥ 25.

Pregnancy is characterized by biopsychosocial changes that impact appetite, eating and weight. Understanding pregnant individuals' attitudes toward eating and weight can provide insight into prenatal health behavior. Accordingly, we developed and performed initial psychometric testing of a self-report measure, the Pregnancy Eating Attitudes-Questionnaire (PEA-Q), among individuals with pre-pregnancy BMI≥25.

Think Beyond the Room: Measuring Relative Humidity in the Home Cage and Its Impact on Reproduction in Laboratory Mice, .

Relative humidity (RH) is measured in vivaria with a broad range to accommodate seasonal fluctuations. It is assumed that measurements in the room (macroenvironment) reflect those in the cage (microenvironment). However, there is limited data comparing RH in the macroenvironment to the microenvironment and how the mice may be affected by variations in RH that fall within husbandry recommendations.

A W1282X cystic fibrosis mouse allows the study of pharmacological and gene-editing therapeutics to restore CFTR function.

Background: People with cystic fibrosis carrying two nonsense alleles lack CFTR-specific treatment. Growing evidence supports the hypothesis that nonsense mutation identity affects therapeutic response, calling for mutation-specific CF models. We describe a novel W1282X mouse model and compare it to an existing G542X mouse.

Association Between Chrononutrition Patterns and Multidimensional Sleep Health.

Background/objectives: Sleep health has been associated with diet quality, but the relationship between chrononutrition patterns and multidimensional sleep health is unclear. This study identifies chrononutrition patterns among U.S.

An method for comparative analysis of aspiration catheter tracking performance.

Background And Purpose: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) relies on efficient tracking of aspiration catheters through complex vascular anatomies. Differences in catheter design lead to variation in tracking performance which may only become apparent after use in patients. We developed an methodology for evaluating aspiration catheter performance under a variety of pre-defined circumstances, that can be used during catheter development for design optimization.
