Environmental exposure to common pesticide induces synaptic deficit and social memory impairment driven by neurodevelopmental vulnerability of hippocampal parvalbumin interneurons.

Environmental exposure to pesticides at levels deemed safe by regulatory agencies has been linked to increased risk for neurodevelopmental disorders. Yet, the mechanisms linking exposure to these disorders remain unclear. Here, we show that maternal exposure to the pesticide deltamethrin (DM) at the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) disrupts long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus of adult male offspring three months after exposure, a phenotype absent in female offspring.

Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on unmet healthcare needs after hospital discharge in acute respiratory failure survivors: A multicenter prospective cohort study.

Survivors of acute respiratory failure (ARF) have complex healthcare needs postdischarge, frequently resulting in unmet needs. This prospective multicenter study explores the association between COVID-19 status and unmet healthcare needs in survivors of ARF following hospital discharge. We analyzed patient characteristics and unmet healthcare needs by COVID-19 status using a multivariable regression model with propensity weights.

A free lunch: microhaplotype discovery in an existing amplicon panel improves parentage assignment for the highly polymorphic Pacific oyster.

Amplicon panels using genotyping by sequencing methods are now common, but have focused on characterizing SNP markers. We investigate how microhaplotype (MH) discovery within a recently developed Pacific oyster (Magallana gigas) amplicon panel could increase the statistical power for relationship assignment. Trios (offspring and two parents) from three populations in a newly established breeding program were genotyped on a 592 locus panel.

Language processing in breastfed infants at risk of thiamine deficiency benefits from maternal thiamine supplementation.

In a double-blind, randomized controlled trial, we investigated relationships between infants' exposure to thiamine and their language-processing ability. Three hundred thirty-five lactating Cambodian mothers of 161 female/174 male infants received either 0, 1.2, 2.

Nursing Wellness in Academic and Clinical Cardiovascular and Stroke Nursing: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.

Nursing is an essential part of our health care system workforce. Cardiovascular and stroke nursing represents one of the largest specialty areas requiring expert knowledge and clinical proficiency to ensure safety and quality patient outcomes. To support the growth and sustainability of the various nursing roles in clinical practice, academia, and research, it is vital to attract, engage, mentor, and retain nurses.
