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...
Estrogens via estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) genomic and nongenomic signaling can influence plasticity processes in numerous brain regions. Using mice that express nuclear only ERα (NOER) or membrane (MOER), this study examined the effect of compartmentalization on paraventricular nucleus hypothalamus (PVN) hippocampus. The absence expression impacted females but not males these two areas. In PVN, quantitative immunohistochemistry showed increased ERβ. Moreover, hippocampus CA1,...
Objectives/Hypothesis Patient satisfaction is increasingly emphasized and measured in healthcare delivery. However, patient multifactorial difficult to comprehensively assess. The objective of this study was assess for correlation between by Press Ganey surveys (PGS) physician demographics gender, years practice, academic rank, specialty otolaryngology. Study Design Review publicly available PGS scores otolaryngology practice. Methods Public websites departments were assessed inclusion...
Objectives/Hypothesis Voice therapy is an effective treatment for many voice disorders, but success depends on attendance and adherence. Many factors hinder attendance, language discordance with the provider may present additional obstacle to attending therapy. This study evaluates associated at a language‐diverse, safety‐net hospital. Study Design: Retrospective chart review. Methods review of adult patients referred speech pathology disorders from January, 2018 April, 2019. Primary spoken...
Objective To determine the prevalence and demographics features of pediatric patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who would not undergo preoperative polysomnography (PSG) under current American Academy Otolaryngology (AAO) guidelines. Study Design In this retrospective cohort study, we identified from electronic medical record underwent elective for evaluation sleep‐disordered breathing between 2012 2018. Setting Urban tertiary safety net hospital. Subjects Methods A total 456...
Background: Most older adults visit the emergency department (ED) near end of life without advance care planning (ACP) and thus are at risk receiving that does not align with their wishes values. ED GOAL is a behavioral intervention administered by clinicians, which designed to engage seriously ill in serious illness conversations ED. Seriously found it acceptable However, its potential be used nurses remains unclear. Objective: The aim this study identify refinements adapt an ED-based ACP...
To determine the prevalence and characteristics of children with normal elective polysomnography for obstructive sleep disordered breathing (oSDB) based on American Academy Otolaryngology-Head Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) guidelines.In this retrospective cohort study, we identified patients ages 2 to 18 who underwent diagnostic (PSG) ordered by our otolaryngology department SDB between 2012 2018.All were seen otolaryngologists at an urban tertiary safety net hospital.There a total 456 studied...
Objective: There is evidence to suggest adverse outcomes on patients’ medical and surgical care when there language discordance in patient-physician relationships. No studies have evaluated the impact of limited English proficiency (LEP) complications after common procedures otolaryngology. Furthermore, no how patients with LEP utilize remote resources connect otolaryngology providers better triage such complications. The purpose was evaluate incidence post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH)...
Hypertension is a risk factor for neurodegenerative disorders involving inflammation and inflammatory cytokine-producing brain cells (microglia astrocytes) in the hippocampus medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Here we investigated effect of slow-pressor angiotensin II (AngII) on gliosis mPFC young adult (2-mo-old) male female mice. In males, AngII induced hypertension, this resulted an increase density astrocyte marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) subgranular hilus decrease...
Following oxycodone (Oxy) conditioned place preference (CPP), delta opioid receptors (DORs) differentially redistribute in hippocampal CA3 pyramidal cells female and male rats a manner that would promote plasticity opioid-associative learning processes. However, following chronic immobilization stress (CIS), males do not acquire Oxy-CPP the trafficking of DORs neurons is attenuated. Here, we examined subcellular distribution CA1 using electron microscopy these same cohorts. Saline...
Oxycodone (Oxy) conditioned place preference (CPP) in Sprague Dawley rats results sex-specific alterations hippocampal opioid circuits a manner that facilitates opioid-associative learning processes, particularly females. Here, we examined if Oxy (3 mg/kg, I.P.) or saline (Sal) injections not paired with behavioral testing similarly affect the system. Sal-injected females compared to males had: (1) higher densities of cytoplasmic delta receptors (DOR) GABAergic hilar dendrites suggesting...
