Circularity in polydiketoenamine thermoplastics via control over reactive chain conformation.

Controlling the reactivity of bonds along polymer chains enables both functionalization and deconstruction with relevance to chemical recycling and circularity. Because the substrate is a macromolecule, however, understanding the effects of chain conformation on the reactivity of polymer bonds emerges as important yet underexplored. Here, we show how oxy-functionalization of chemically recyclable condensation polymers affects acidolysis to monomers through control over distortion and interaction energies in the rate-limiting transition states.

A genomics learning framework for undergraduates.

Genomics is an increasingly important part of biology research. However, educating undergraduates in genomics is not yet a standard part of life sciences curricula. We believe this is, in part, due to a lack of standard concepts for the teaching of genomics.

Epigenetic Modifiers: Exploring the Roles of Histone Methyltransferases and Demethylases in Cancer and Neurodegeneration.

Histone methyltransferases (HMTs) and histone demethylases (HDMs) are critical enzymes that regulate chromatin dynamics and gene expression through the addition and removal of methyl groups on histone proteins. HMTs, such as PRC2 and SETD2, are involved in the trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 and lysine 36, influencing gene silencing and activation. Dysregulation of these enzymes often leads to abnormal gene expression and contributes to tumorigenesis.

Microglial cell proliferation is regulated, in part, by reactive astrocyte ETB signaling after ischemic stroke.

Reciprocal communication between reactive astrocytes and microglial cells provides local, coordinated control over critical processes such as neuroinflammation, neuroprotection, and scar formation after CNS injury, but is poorly understood. The vasoactive peptide hormone endothelin (ET) is released and/or secreted by endothelial cells, microglial cells and astrocytes early after ischemic stroke and other forms of brain injury. To better understand glial cell communication after stroke, we sought to identify paracrine effectors produced and secreted downstream of astroglial endothelin receptor B (ETB) signaling.

Hepatocellular senescence induces multi-organ senescence and dysfunction via TGFβ.

Cellular senescence is not only associated with ageing but also impacts physiological and pathological processes, such as embryonic development and wound healing. Factors secreted by senescent cells affect their microenvironment and can induce spreading of senescence locally. Acute severe liver disease is associated with hepatocyte senescence and frequently progresses to multi-organ failure.

Enhanced Recovery Pathway Reduced Opioid Use and Pain Scores in Elective Spine Surgery.

The purpose of this study was to determine if implementation of an enhanced recovery pathway (ERP) for elective spine surgery reduced opioid use and pain scores in elective spine surgery. A historical cohort study of 171 patients undergoing elective spine procedures between 2017 and 2021 was performed. The primary outcomes were opioid use and average daily pain scores.

Utilizing Relative Citation Ratio to Compare Academic Productivity by Gender in Plastic Surgery.

Introduction: The relative citation ratio (RCR) is a bibliometric index utilized to assess research productivity. Mean relative citation ratio (m-RCR) and weighted relative citation ratio (w-RCR) can be utilized to assess individual research quality as well as career-long productivity, respectively. We sought to determine differences in academic productivity between genders and identify demographic variables associated with increased academic productivity.

Patterns of Technology-Based Abuse Among Adult Intimate Partner Violence Survivors and Associations with Offline Abuse.

Research about technology-based abuse (TBA) has primarily relied on youth-focused survey research, leading to gaps in knowledge about the experiences of TBA among adult populations. However, studies among adult intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors suggest that TBA is a pervasive problem warranting attention. This study builds on the limited existing literature about adult experiences of TBA by examining patterns of TBA among adult abuse survivors ( = 377).

Evaluating Learning by Assessing Patient Outcomes in a Student Pro Bono Clinic: A Case Report.

Background And Purpose: In 2020, a clinical practice guideline (CPG) highly recommended high-intensity gait training (HIGT) to improve walking outcomes in adults with chronic stroke, incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), and brain injury. The success of implementing a CPG into a student-run pro bono clinic (SRPBC) utilizing knowledge translation (KT) to assess student learning is not well described. The purpose of this case report is to describe student learning by assessing the fidelity of HIGT implementation (time spent in HIGT and level of cardiovascular intensity) in a SRPBC.

A multi-center evaluation of a novel IVF cryostorage device in an active clinical setting.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the function, and usability of a novel automated software-guided cryostorage system in an active IVF laboratory setting. The investigational device (ID) was installed at 3 IVF laboratories (sites: α, β, and γ). A total of 15 embryologists were trained to use the ID.

Using a community-engaged research process to plan, implement, and evaluate a cancer education program to improve knowledge and screening intentions among African American men.

Objective: We assessed acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of a culturally appropriate, cancer education program to improve cancer knowledge, attitudes, subjective norms, and screening intentions for oropharynx, colon, and prostate cancers among African American men. We detailed the community-engaged research process used for African American men to design, implement, and evaluate the program.

Materials And Methods: We recruited 84 (61 in-person, 23 online) African American men over 2-months across 4 churches in Middle Tennessee in 2021.

Risk factors for dysfunctional elbow stiffness following operative fixation of distal humerus fractures.

Background: Elbow stiffness is 1 of the most common complications after operative fixation of distal humerus fractures; however, there is relatively limited literature assessing which factors are associated with this problem. The purpose of this study is to identify risk factors associated with dysfunctional elbow stiffness in distal humerus fractures after operative fixation.

Methods: A retrospective review of all distal humerus fractures that underwent operative fixation (AO/OTA 13A-C) at a single level 1 trauma center from November 2014 to October 2021.

Impact of aneuploidy on reproductive success in young infertile women: prospective analysis.

Research Question: What is the clinical outcome of the first attempt at conception between two embryo selection methods, blastocyst morphology and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A), chosen at the initial physician IVF consultation?

Design: In this prospective analysis, a clinical decision regarding embryo selection, blastocyst morphology (group A) or PGT-A (group B) was made during initial physician IVF consultation. Female infertility patients were matched based on maternal age (mean 32.6 ± 3.

Freshwater trematodes differ from marine trematodes in patterns connected with division of labor.

Background: Prior research suggests that trematode rediae, a developmental stage of trematode parasites that reproduce clonally within a snail host, show evidence of division of labor (DOL). Single-species infections often have two morphologically distinct groups: small rediae, the 'soldiers', are active, aggressive, and do not appear to reproduce; large rediae, the 'reproductives', are larger, sluggish, and full of offspring. Most data supporting DOL come from trematodes infecting marine snails, while data from freshwater trematodes are more limited and generally do not supported DOL.
