Agricultural surface water, imidacloprid, and chlorantraniliprole result in altered gene expression and receptor activation in Pimephales promelas.

The toxicity of single pesticides is likely underestimated when considering complex pesticide mixtures found in agricultural runoff and this is especially true for newer pesticides with little toxicity data on non-target species. The goal of our study was to compare the toxicity of two newer pesticides, imidacloprid (IMI) and chlorantraniliprole (CHL), when an invertebrate and fish were exposed to single compounds, binary mixtures or surface water collected near agricultural fields. A secondary goal was to determine whether changes in select subcellular molecular pathways correspond to the insecticides' mechanisms of activity in aquatic organisms.

Assessing the role of the pelvic canal in supporting the gut in humans.

The human pelvic canal (true pelvis) functions to support the abdominopelvic organs and serves as a passageway for reproduction (females). Previous research suggests that these two functions work against each other with the expectation that the supportive role results in a narrower pelvic midplane, while fetal passage necessitates a larger opening. In this research, we examine how gut size relates to the size and shape of the true pelvis, which may have implications on how gut size can influence pelvic floor integrity.

Response of eelgrass (Zostera marina) to an adjacent Olympia oyster restoration project.

Recent restoration efforts for the native Olympia oyster, Ostrea lurida, are commonly motivated by potential return of oyster-associated ecosystem services, including increased water filtration. The potential impact of such restoration on another species of ecological concern, eelgrass, Zostera marina, is unclear, but has been hypothesized to be positive if oyster filter feeding increases light penetration to eelgrass. For two years after construction of an oyster restoration project, we assessed the response of adjacent eelgrass (impact) compared to control and reference eelgrass beds by monitoring changes in light intensity, eelgrass shoot density, biomass, leaf morphometrics, and epiphyte load.

Correlates of Delayed Initial Contact to Emergency Services among Patients with Suspected ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Background: Early diagnosis and treatment of a patient displaying symptoms of myocardial ischemia is paramount in preventing detrimental tissue damage, arrhythmias, and death. Patient-related hospital delay is the greatest considerable cause of total delay in treatment for acute myocardial infarction.

Objective: To identify patient characteristics contributing to prehospital delay and ultimately developing health interventions to prevent future delay and improve health outcomes.

Global trends in aquatic animal tracking with acoustic telemetry.

Acoustic telemetry (AT) is a rapidly evolving technique used to track the movements of aquatic animals. As the capacity of AT research expands it is important to optimize its relevance to management while still pursuing key ecological questions. A global review of AT literature revealed region-specific research priorities underscoring the breadth of how AT is applied, but collectively demonstrated a lack of management-driven objectives, particularly relating to fisheries, climate change, and protection of species.

The Experience of Alzheimer's Disease Family Caregivers in a Latino Community: Expectations and Incongruences in Support Services.

Objectives: Current theoretical constructs on the utilization of formal support for Latino caregivers focus on familism and exclude the cultural values represented in the service system. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the experience of care for Latino family caregivers to persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). We also examine the cultural congruence between provider perspectives with the expectations of Latino ADRD caregivers.

Coordination variability during running in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder.

Walking and running are popular forms of physical activity that involve the whole body (pelvis/legs and arms/torso) and are coordinated by the neuromuscular system, generally without much conscious effort. However, autistic persons tend not to engage in sufficient amounts of these activities to enjoy their health benefits. Recent reports indicate that autistic individuals tend to experience altered coordination patterns and increased variability during walking tasks when compared to non-autistic controls.

Inter and intra-limb coordination variability during walking in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder, a neurodevelopmental disorder, is difficult to characterize from a gait biomechanics perspective, possibly due to increased inter and intra-individual variability. Previous research illustrates increased gait variability in young children with autism, but assessments in older adolescents or at varying speeds are unavailable. The purpose of this study was to determine if adolescents with autism demonstrate increased intra-limb and inter-limb coordination variability during walking compared to age, sex, and body mass index matched controls.

Weighing the Risk: Developmental Pathways and Processes Underlying Obesity to Substance Use in Adolescence.

Research on co-occurring obesity and substance use in adolescence has grown substantially in the past decade, but questions on the pathways and processes underlying co-occurrence remain. This review first synthesizes empirical findings on the relationship between obesity and substance use (e.g.

Effectiveness of an educational intervention in improving the patient medication reconciliation in the emergency department.

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention in improving the patient medication reconciliation process.

Method: This was a cross-sectional study that was conducted at St. Jude hospital, California (CA), United States.

Au-Cavitands: Size governed arene-alkyne cycloisomerization.

With an inwardly directed reactive center and a well-defined binding pocket, Au(I) functionalized resorcin[4]arene cavitands have been shown to catalyze molecular transformations. The reactivity profiles that emerge differ from other Au(I) catalysts. The added constraint of a binding pocket gives rise to the possibility that the substrates might have to fit into the resorcinarene pocket; our hypothesis is that substrates that match the available space have different reaction outcomes than those that do not.

Curium(iii) radiation-induced reaction kinetics in aqueous media.

Insight into the effects of radiolytic processes on the actinides is critical for advancing our understanding of their solution chemistry because the behaviour of these elements cannot be easily separated from the influence of their inherent radiation field. However, minimal information exists on the radiation-induced redox behaviour of curium (Cm), a key trivalent transuranic element present in used nuclear fuel and frequently used as an alpha radiation source. Here we present a kinetic study on the aqueous redox reactions of Cm(iii) with radicals generated through the radiolysis of aqueous media.

Influence of spanwise flexibility on steady and dynamic responses of airfoils vs hydrofoils.

There is growing interest in using lighter and more flexible foils with active and/or passive smart actuation mechanisms to increase efficiency and maneuverability. For efficient operations, airfoils and hydrofoils tend to have an effective aspect ratio greater than two, which permits spanwise flexibility depending on the choice of material and architectural design. The fluid density plays an important role in the steady and dynamic performance, including the governing hydroelastic instability mechanism.

"Do You Smoke?" Physician-Patient Conversations About Smoking and Lung Cancer.

This study examined how physicians initiated and navigated conversations about smoking with patients with lung cancer. While there are numerous health benefits associated with smoking cessation in patients with advanced lung cancer, conversations about smoking cessation are infrequent and often lack tangible cessation support. We conducted a qualitative inductive content analysis on transcripts of conversations (n = 58) recorded during an initial appointment between a physician and a standardized patient (SP).

Marrying into it: Siblings-in-law in the social support networks of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Background: Although attention has been devoted to social supports provided by parents and siblings of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), much less is known about supports provided by the spouses of these siblings-the so-called siblings-in-law. This study examined the role of the sibling-in-law in the social support networks of their brother/sister-in-law with IDD and factors associated with providing greater amounts of tangible, informational and emotional support.

Method: Siblings-in-law of adults with IDD living predominately in the United States (N = 99) participated in a cross-sectional survey.

Stay-at-home orders and the willingness to stay home during the COVID-19 pandemic: A stated-preference discrete choice experiment.

The spread of COVID-19 in the Spring of 2020 prompted state and local governments to implement a variety of policies, including stay-at-home (SAH) orders and mandatory mask requirements, aimed at reducing the infection rate and the severity of the pandemic's impact. We implement a discrete choice experiment survey in three major U.S.

Ultrahigh-Uptake Capacity-Enabled Gas Separation and Fruit Preservation by a New Single-Walled Nickel-Organic Framework.

High gas-uptake capacity is desirable for many reasons such as gas storage and sequestration. Moreover, ultrahigh capacity can enable a practical separation process by mitigating the selectivity factor that sometimes compromises separation efficiency. Herein, a single-walled nickel-organic framework with an exceptionally high gas capture capability is reported.
