Purpose: The objective of this study was to quantitatively assess the concentration of human tear proteins in patients wearing contact lenses of various ionicities and determine whether differences were related to the incidence of corneal infiltrative events (CIE).
Methods: 24 subjects (samples) were randomly selected for spectral count analysis to obtain protein concentrations using LCMS analysis. The subjects were neophyte and ametropic with ages between 18 and 40; 6 wore control lenses, 8 wore TestLens1, and 10 wore TestLens2.
Article Synopsis
- Emotional availability (EA) refers to the emotional connection between parents and their unborn babies, assessed during pregnancy through caregiver sensitivity and nonhostility.
- A new intervention called the "EA-Based Dance Intervention" was developed to help pregnant individuals engage emotionally with their babies through dance and movement.
- In a pilot study, participants in the dance intervention reported lower anxiety and depressive symptoms, and higher prenatal EA compared to a control group that received no intervention.
Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates parent-child interactions during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the need for observational data rather than solely relying on self-reports.
- - Utilizing questionnaires and filmed interactions, researchers assessed emotional availability (EA) in parents, focusing on differences between mothers and fathers in relation to pandemic stress and flourishing.
- - Findings indicate that high stress from COVID-19 negatively impacted mothers' EA, while fathers' flourishing positively contributed to their EA, suggesting different dynamics in parental responses during the pandemic.
We present the novel reference genome of the Versatile Fairy Shrimp, Branchinecta lindahli. The Versatile Fairy Shrimp is a freshwater anostracan crustacean found across the western United States from Iowa to Oregon and from Alberta to Baja California. It is an ephemeral pool specialist, living in prairie potholes, irrigation ditches, tire treads, vernal pools, and other temporary freshwater wetlands.

This branchiopod crustacean is endemic to California's freshwater ephemeral ponds. It faces enormous habitat loss and fragmentation as urbanization and agriculture have fundamentally changed the vernal pool landscape over the past 3 centuries.
