Objective and automatic measurement of pain in mice remains a barrier for discovery neuroscience. Here, we capture paw kinematics during behavior with high-speed videography automated tracking machine deep learning approaches. Our statistical software platform, PAWS (Pain Assessment at Withdrawal Speeds), uses univariate projection position over time to automatically quantify seven behavioral features that are combined into single, score. Automated reveals behaviorally divergent mouse strain...
Latino, Black, and economically disadvantaged individuals in the U.S. have been shown to disproportionately live areas characterized by urban heat islands, yet little qualitative data exist inform adaptation. In a low-income community of color, we explored residents' heat-related health well-being outcomes, vulnerability, recommended adaptation strategies. From July–September 2021, conducted interviews with 18 adults (female = 17, Latino 16, Black 2) an area high island intensity Austin,...
To effectively cope with the impacts of climate change and increase urban resilience, households neighborhoods must adapt in ways that reduce vulnerability to climate-related natural hazards. Communities United States elsewhere are exposed more frequent extreme heat, wildfires, cyclones, precipitation, flooding events. Whether how people respond increased hazard exposure (adaptive behavior) is widely recognized be driven by their capacity adapt, perception risk, past experiences. Underlying...
Parental history of opioid exposure is seldom considered when prescribing opioids for pain relief. To explore whether parental may affect sensitivity to morphine in offspring, we developed a “rat scale” with high-speed imaging, machine learning, and mathematical modeling multigenerational model paternal self-administration. We find that the most commonly used tool measure mechanical rodents, von Frey hair, not painful rats during baseline conditions. also male progeny morphine-treated sires...
The growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events have placed cities at the forefront human, social, economic, ecological impacts climate change. Extreme heat, extended freeze, excessive precipitation, and/or prolong drought neighborhoods disproportionately across heterogenous urban geographies. Underserved, underrepresented, marginalized communities are more likely to bear burden increased exposure adverse while simultaneously facing power asymmetries in access policy knowledge...
Obesity is treatment-resistant, and linked with a number of serious, chronic diseases. Adult obesity rates in the United States have tripled since early 1960s. Recent reviews show that an increased ratio omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids contributes by increasing levels endocannabinoid signals AEA 2-AG, overstimulating CB1R leading caloric intake, reduced metabolic rates, weight gain. Cannabis, or THC, also stimulates increases intake during acute exposures. The present meta-analysis reveals...
Objectives: The CMS Initiative to Reduce Avoidable Hospitalizations Among Nursing Facility Residents: Payment Reform (NFI 2) provided billing opportunities incentivize participating facilities keep long-stay residents onsite for acute care, rather than hospitalizing them. We examined cross-facility differences in NFI 2 implementation by racial composition of facility resident populations. Methods: analyzed Medicare claims conjunction with in-person and telephone interviews among staff assess...
One in five Americans is expected to be age 65 or older by 2030 (Colby & Ortman, 2014), and their needs will multifaceted (Anderson, Goodman, Holtzman, Posner, Northridge, 2012). To better meet health-related needs, the health-care delivery system shifting prioritize integrated care. For Medicare beneficiaries, Creating High-Quality Results Outcomes Necessary Improve Chronic (CHRONIC) Care Act, signed into law as part of Bipartisan Budget Act 2018, further encourages This act includes a...

Here we capture rapid paw kinematics during behavior with high-speed videography automated tracking machine deep learning approaches.

Abstract Parental exposure to drugs of abuse such as opioids can have profound and long-lasting effects on reward processing drug sensitivity across generations. However, little is known about the impact long-term paternal morphine offspring morphine-derived antinociception during painful experiences. To address this question, we constructed a rat pain scale at millisecond timescales measure mechanical nociception in multigenerational paradigm. Surprisingly, while developing scale, found...
