Abstract Chelonians are expected to be negatively impacted by climate change due limited vagility and temperature‐dependent sex determination. However, few studies have examined how freshwater turtle distributions may shift under different scenarios. We used a maximum entropy approach model the distribution of five widespread North American Kinosternon species ( K. baurii , flavescens hirtipes sonoriense subrubrum ) four found that areas with suitable climatic conditions for decline...
Chronic immobilization stress (CIS) results in sex-dependent changes opioid peptide levels and receptor subcellular distributions within the rat dorsal hippocampus, which are paralleled with an inability for males to acquire conditioned place preference (CPP) oxycodone. Here, RNAScope situ hybridization was used determine expression of hippocampal peptides receptors unstressed (US) CIS estrus female male adult (∼2.5 months old ) Sprague Dawley rats. In all groups, dentate granule cells...
Smart solid-state drives (SmartSSDs) with onboard FPGAs are becoming mainstream, providing opportunities for near-storage computation, which is appealing increasing the performance of data-intensive workloads such as database query processing. This paper demonstrates and energy improvements by offloading filter aggregation operations to FPGA on a SmartSSD real-system experiments. We make observation that efficiently handling null entries in data important. Hence, we propose novel design...
Abstract Spinal cord injury leads to hyperexcitability and dysfunction in spinal sensory processing. As hyperexcitable circuits can become epileptiform, we explored whether such activity emerges a thoracic (SCI) contusion model of neuropathic pain. Recordings from axons multiple below-lesion segmental dorsal roots demonstrated that SCI facilitated the emergence spontaneous ectopic burst spiking afferent axons, which were correlated across adjacent roots. Burst frequency with behavioral...
Myofibroblasts are contractile, secretory cells of wound healing, fibroses, and contractures. Recently caffeine was shown to reduce fibrotic conditions in rodents. Our goal determine caffeine's effect on Dupuytren's contracture vitro. We cultured fibroblasts three different experimental models for 5 days. Transforming Growth Factor‐beta (TGF‐b) used stimulate fibroblast differentiation into myofibroblasts. Replicate cultures were treated with 5mM using a coverslip assay. Immunostaining...
