Objectives: Pancreas transplantation provides long-term near-normal glycemic control for recipients with type 1 diabetes, but it is unknown how this compares an automated insulin delivery (AID) system. Methods: In prospective study, we compared parameters from 31 consecutive pancreas-kidney versus 377 people using AID-either MiniMed™ 780G (n = 200) or Tandem t:slim X2™ Control-IQ™ 177). Results: Compared the MiniMed and AID groups, transplant at month (mean ± standard deviation [SD]: 36 12...

With increasing rates of anxiety and mood disorders across the world, there is an unprecedented need for preclinical animal models to generate translational results humans experiencing disruptive emotional symptoms. Considering that life events resulting in a perception loss are correlated with depressive symptoms, enrichment-loss rodent model offers promise as stress-initiated psychiatric disorders. Additionally, predisposed temperament characteristics such coping styles have been found...

Probiotics that regulate the microbiome-gut-brain axis and provide mental health benefits to host are referred as psychobiotics. Preclinical studies have demonstrated psychobiotic effects on early life stress-induced anxiety- depression-related behavior in rodents; however, specific mechanisms remain ill-defined. In current study, we investigated of probiotic supplementation neurobiological responses chronic stress adult male Long-Evans rats. Twenty-four rats were randomly assigned (PB) or...

Experimental psychology research commonly has participants respond to stimuli by pressing buttons or keys. Standard computer input devices constrain the range of motoric responses can make, even as field advances theory about importance motor system in cognitive and social information processing. Here we describe an inexpensive way use electromyographic (EMG) signal a device, enabling control contracting muscles that are not usually used for purpose, but which may be theoretically relevant....

When a maternal rat nurtures her pups, she relies on adequate resources to provide optimal care for offspring. Accordingly, limited environmental may result in atypical care, disrupting various developmental outcomes. In the current study, Long-Evans rats were randomly assigned either standard resource (SR) group, provided with four cups of bedding and two paper towels nesting material or (LR) quarter SR group. Offspring monitored at phases throughout study. After weaning, pups housed...
