    Abstract We have made great strides in understanding how the human brain constructs the multidimensional experience of pain - both acute and chronic - over the past few decades. Pain wears many guises, but at its core, it hurts. How is this core component of pain represented in the brain, and how can we target it for relief?

    Abstract Background: Animal cadavers still play an essential role in veterinary education. Many veterinary schools would like to participate in pet cadaver donation schemes for many reasons, including ethical resourcing of cadavers, but finding owners willing to donate their pet is challenging. The aim of this study was to investigate dog owners' awareness of pet cadaver donation.
    Methods: The study was conducted using Jisc online surveys with the survey being distributed via social media. In total, 708 people answered a 10-question online questionnaire.
    Results: The most common reason given for why a dog owner might donate was to assist in the education of future veterinarians (n = 396, 56%). When asked to rank the options given to them upon the passing of their pet, single animal cremation was overwhelmingly the participants' favoured option (n = 483, 68.2%).
    Limitations: Factors that might affect the findings, such as religion, financial status and cultural differences, were not explored in this study.
    Conclusions: The only incentive shown to increase the likelihood of pet owners donating to a pet cadaver scheme was the return their pet's ashes to them after the cadaver had served its purpose. This study revealed that dog owners currently have very little knowledge of pet cadaver donation.

    Abstract Objectives: To expand current models of depressive symptoms in older adults with multimorbidity (MM) beyond the number of illnesses as a predictor of worsened mental health.
    Methods: Two-sample replication study of adults ≥62 years old with ≥ two chronic illnesses, who completed validated questionnaires assessing depressive symptoms, and disease- and treatment-related stressors. Data were analyzed using hierarchical linear regression.
    Results: The model of cumulative number of illnesses was worse at explaining variance in depressive symptoms (Sample 1
    Conclusions: Using the number of illnesses to understand depressive symptoms in MM is a limited approach. Models that move beyond descriptive relationships between MM and depressive symptoms are needed.
    Clinical implications: Providers should consider the role of somatic symptom management in patients with MM and depressive symptoms.

    Abstract Pain is unique to every person, and difficult to quantify and treat. Whether it is delivered as a jolt or a persistent, dull ache, pain is guaranteed to affect one's quality of life. Our author examines how brain imaging is opening our eyes to the richness and complexity of the pain experience, giving us extraordinary insight into the neurochemistry, network activity, wiring, and structures relevant to producing and modulating painful experiences in all their various guises

    Abstract Method validation is an essential step ahead of applying a method in forensic casework, to ensure the results will be admissible in court. However, unlike mainstream forensic disciplines, wildlife forensic labs often evolve from conservation-oriented units and may not have a strong foundation in generating data within a legal context. As such, the processes and principles of method validation may not be familiar or fully understood. In this paper we describe the process of method validation in a wildlife forensic science context. We provide guidance on the documentation required to take a DNA based method, which has been developed to identify a specific target species, through the validation process so that it is fit for use in forensic casework. This process has been agreed upon among members of the Society for Wildlife Forensic Sciences (SWFS) Technical Working Group (TWG) to illuminate the requirements for both practitioners and academics.

    Abstract The power of fishery-independent surveys for stock assessments and management decisions is in their consistency over time and space. Although the preference is to limit change to survey execution, such changes may be necessary. In multi-species surveys, changes that improve metrics for one species may be a detriment to survey performance for others. In 2010, the Southeast Reef Fish Survey (SERFS) was formed to better address sampling needs off the U.S. Southeast Atlantic coast by intensifying a historical chevron trap survey (MARMAP), especially at the northern and southern extent of the sampling range. We used several performance metrics (encounter rate, annual coefficient of variability, standard error, and relative abundance index values) to determine the impact of this change in survey coverage on trend estimates for three commonly encountered species with varying centers of distribution in the survey region. Gray Triggerfish (Balistes capriscus) is found throughout the range of both surveys (i.e. centrally-distributed), while White Grunt (Haemulon plumierii) and Red Snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) are centered near the northern and southern extent of the sampling range, respectively. For Gray Triggerfish, the survey intensification had no effect on encounter rate, but reduced the coefficient of variation and indicated that the historical index of relative abundance may have been overestimated. For White Grunt, the survey intensification slightly improved CV but did not affect the index of relative abundance value or encounter rate. For Red Snapper, SERFS increased encounter rates, reduced CV overall, and detected a population increase 5 years earlier than MARMAP. Overall, the intensification of the survey improved at least one performance metric for each species and showed few deleterious effects on performance, suggesting that intensification of the survey was a net-positive for the accurate estimation of population trends in several species of interest.

    Abstract Purpose: Evaluate the effect of corneal and contact lens-related (CLR) culture results on visual acuity (VA) in patients with microbial keratitis (MK).
    Methods: MK patients with corneal and CLR cultures were identified in the University of Michigan electronic health record from August 2012 to April 2022. Test results were classified as laboratory-positive or laboratory-negative. Linear regression was used to examine trends of VA and associations between changes in VA (differences of VA at 90-day and baseline VA) and corneal and CLR culture results, after adjustment for baseline VA. One-sample t-tests were used to test if the slope estimates were different from zero.
    Results: MK patients (
    Conclusions: Positive CLR cultures are associated with significant improvement in VA over time. These additional cultures can provide guidance on appropriate antimicrobial selection, especially when corneal cultures are negative.
