Revealing the Power of Peer Support in the Lives of Women Immigrants from Mexico.

To address high rates of social isolation and depression among female Mexican immigrants, we are testing (Spanish, conversational gatherings), an innovative peer support group intervention. Our anthropologically inspired theoretical architecture integrates gendered emplacement theory, women's funds of knowledge, and cultural and contextual situatedness. We used a community-driven, community-engaged research (CD-CEnR) design, involving 59 female Mexican immigrants who participated in weekly group meetings by Zoom.

Tolerance to isoflurane does not occur in developing Xenopus laevis tadpoles.

Introduction: Tolerance is observed for a variety of central nervous system depressants including ethanol, which is an anesthetic, but has not been convincingly demonstrated for a potent halogenated volatile anesthetic. Failure to demonstrate tolerance to these agents may be the result of inadequate exposure to anesthetic. In this study, we exposed Xenopus laevis tadpoles to surgical anesthetic concentrations of isoflurane for 1 wk.
