Abstract Drosophila adults, when placed into a novel open‐field arena, initially exhibit an elevated level of activity followed by reduced stable spontaneous and spend majority time near the arena edge, executing motions along walls. In order to determine environmental features that are responsible for initial high wall‐following behavior exhibited during exploration, we examined wild‐type visually impaired mutants in arenas with different vertical surfaces. These experiments support...
Melanoma is one of the deadliest forms skin cancer but typically cured with surgical excision when detected early. As an access point to medical care, primary care providers (PCP) play integral role in early detection. However, limited time for examinations and dermatologic training may present barriers effective examination setting. a facet Oregon Health & Science University's War on Melanoma™ (WoM), our multi-pronged outreach initiative aims provide PCPs across free, convenient, melanoma...
Abstract Telomeres are environment-sensitive regulators of health and aging. Here,we present telomere DNA length analysis two reef-building coral genera revealing that the long- short-term water thermal regime is a key driver between-colony variation across Pacific Ocean. Notably, there differences between studied genera. The lengths short-lived, more stress-sensitive Pocillopora spp. colonies were largely determined by seasonal temperature variation, whereas those long-lived,...
Selection pressures can vary within localized areas and across massive geographical scales. Temperature is one of the best studied ecologically variable abiotic factors that affect selection multiple spatial Organisms rely on physiological (thermal tolerance) behavioral preference) mechanisms to thermoregulate in response environmental temperature. In addition, heterogeneity temperatures select for local adaptation thermal tolerance, preference, or both. However, concordance between...
Objective: This case report presents a of rapidly progressive complicated sinus infection in child with the multisystem inflammatory syndrome children. Methods: Case literature review. Results/Case Report: We present novel severe sinusitis 14-year-old African American male diagnosed Infection was caused by an aggressive pathogen, Streptococcus intermedius (anginosus), and within 48 hours progressed to orbital, subgaleal, intracranial abscess, requiring multidisciplinary intervention...
Abstract Decreases in social behavior are a hallmark aspect of acute “sickness behavior” response to infection. However, immune insults that occur during the perinatal period may have long-lasting consequences for adult by impacting developmental organization underlying neural circuits. Microglia, resident cells central nervous system, sensitive stimulation and play critical role sculpting circuits, making them likely mediators this process. Here, we investigated impact postnatal day (PND) 4...
Introduction Primary care providers or clinicians (PCPs) have the potential to assist dermatologists in screening patients at risk for skin cancer, but require training appropriately identify higher-risk patients, perform checks, recognize and biopsy concerning lesions, interpret pathology results, document exam, bill service. Very few validated dermatology programs exist PCPs those that are available focus primarily on one emphasis area, which results variable efficacy single-topic limited...
Abstract Environmental toxicant exposure, including air pollution, is increasing worldwide. However, exposures are not equitably distributed. Rather, low-income and minority communities bear the greatest burden, along with higher levels of psychosocial stress. Both pollution maternal stress during pregnancy have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, but biological mechanisms targets for therapeutic intervention remain poorly understood. We demonstrate that combined...
Craniosynostosis caused by premature fusion of the cranial sutures most commonly involves a single suture. Less commonly, multiple may fuse prematurely resulting in complex craniosynostosis. The authors present 1 case patient with unilateral sagittal and lambdoid craniosynostosis treated safely simultaneous spring-mediated cranioplasty distraction osteogenesis.
