Background: Young adults (YA) who have experienced early psychosis (EP) have valuable information about their recovery process yet are often left out of research.

Objectives: We used a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach in partnership with the Early Assessment and Support Alliance (EASA) EP program and Portland State University to develop a peer-driven, webbased, recovery resource.

Methods: We used our CBPR process to collaboratively develop the resource and conducted an iterative usability study to test and refine it.

Lessons Learned: The resource was well-received and accessible. YA partners emphasize the importance of being prepared to learn about research and one's self, being open to new experiences, and how being co-researchers can help with processing EP experiences for the benefit of one's self and peers.

Conclusions: Peer involvement in intervention development may increase usability. It benefits YA and adult coresearchers. We strongly recommend including YA who have experienced EP as co-researchers.

Background: Urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) is a biomarker for the early diagnosis of AKI.

Objectives: To evaluate uNGAL in dogs with non-associative immune mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) and to evaluate whether uNGAL correlates with disease severity markers, negative prognostic indicators and outcome.

Animals: Twenty-two dogs with non-associative IMHA and 14 healthy dogs.

The exposome is the measure of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. Exposomics is the emerging field of research to measure and study the totality of the exposome. Exposomics can assist with molecular medicine by furthering our understanding of how the exposome influences cellular and molecular processes such as gene expression, epigenetic modifications, metabolic pathways, and immune responses.

Early screening and evaluation of infant motor development are crucial for detecting motor deficits and enabling timely interventions. Traditional clinical assessments are often subjective, without fully capturing infants' "real-world" behavior. This has sparked interest in portable, low-cost technologies to objectively and precisely measure infant motion at home, with a goal of enhancing ecological validity.
