    Abstract Background: Girls have unique developmental pathways to substance use and justice system involvement, warranting gender-responsive intervention. We tested the efficacy of VOICES (a 12-session, weekly trauma-informed, gender-responsive substance use intervention) in reducing substance use and HIV/STI risk behaviors among justice- and school-referred girls.
    Methods: Participants were 113 girls (M
    Results: Girls randomized to VOICES reported significantly less cannabis use over 9-month follow-up relative to the control condition (time by intervention, p < .01), but there were no between group differences over time in HIV/STI risk behavior. Girls in both conditions reported fewer psychiatric symptoms and delinquent acts over time.
    Conclusions: Data support the use of a trauma-informed, gender-responsive intervention to reduce cannabis use among girls with a substance use history and legal involvement; reducing cannabis use in this population has implications for preventing future justice involvement and improving public health outcomes for girls and young women, who are at disproportionate health and legal risk relative to their male counterparts.

    Abstract Although genetic transformation of soybean dates back to over two decades, the process remains inefficient. Here, we report the development of an organogenesis-based transformation method of soybean that resulted in an average transformation frequency of 18.7%. This improved method resorts to Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of the split-seed explant with an attached partial embryonic axis obtained from an imbibed seed. In addition to the split-seed explant, Agrobacterium strain and preparation were shown to be important for improved transformation. Transformation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA105 generated higher transformation frequencies and number of low copy events compared to the strain EHA101. In this system, phosphinothricin acetyl transferase conferring tolerance to glufosinate was successfully employed for efficiently producing transgenic events. Around 48% of the T

In addition to the split-seed explant, Agrobacterium strain and preparation were shown to be important for improved transformation. Transformation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA105 generated higher transformation frequencies and number of low copy events compared to the strain EHA101. In this system, phosphinothricin acetyl transferase conferring tolerance to glufosinate was successfully employed for efficiently producing transgenic events. Around 48% of the T₁ progeny was demonstrated to be heritable based on molecular analysis and screening with the herbicide Liberty®. This method was shown to be applicable to different genotypes and a few elite lines showed high transformation frequencies. This split-seed system with an attached partial embryonic axis serves not only as an efficient means for high throughput transgenic production for basic research studies but also for the commercial development of transgenic soybean products.

    Abstract Study design: This is a retrospective review.
    Objective: To evaluate the relationship between patient functional status and self-assessment of disability as measured by 3 commonly used clinical assessment instruments-the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), the Neck Disability Index (NDI), and the EuroQol (EQ)-5D and patient satisfaction scores in a spine surgery clinic population.
    Summary of background data: Patient satisfaction surveys, which measure the "patient experience of care" are becoming an increasingly important measure of the quality of medical care. Despite the widespread use of patient satisfaction surveys, little is known about the relationship between patient satisfaction and patient functional status or self-assessed level of disability.
    Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed records of 231 consecutive patients presenting to a single academic spine surgery center between February 2011 and October 2013 who completed both a patient satisfaction survey as well as one or more patient-reported outcome questionnaires (NDI, ODI, and/or EQ-5D) for a single clinical encounter. Statistical analysis was performed to determine if an association exists between the overall patient satisfaction score and each patient-reported outcome score.
    Results: Spearman correlation coefficients demonstrated no correlation between any patient-reported outcome score and the patient satisfaction score [NDI=-0.113 (-0.409 to 0.207) P=0.489] [ODI=-0.008 (-0.149 to 0.133) P=0.912] [EQ-5D=0.011 (-0.119 to 0.140) P=0.872] for a single clinical encounter.
    Conclusions: These results provide evidence against an association between patient-reported functional status or self-assessed level of disability and patient satisfaction in a spine patient population.

    Abstract Two frozen, raw horse meat-based diets fed to captive exotic felids at Brookfield Zoo were irradiated to determine the extent of microbial destruction and whether radiation treatment would affect consumption and/or fecal consistency in exotic cats. Fifteen cats, two African lions (Panthera leo), two Amur tigers (Panthera tigris altaica), one Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis), two clouded leopards (Neofelis nebulosa), two caracals (Felis caracal), one bobcat (Felis rufus), and five fishing cats (Felis viverrinus), housed at Brookfield Zoo were fed nonirradiated and irradiated raw diets containing horse meat with cereal products and fortified with nutrients: Nebraska Brand Feline and/or Canine Diet (Animal Spectrum, North Platte, Nebraska 69103, USA). Baseline data were obtained during a 2-wk control period (nonirradiated diets), which was followed by a 4-wk period of feeding comparable irradiated diets. Feed intake and fecal consistency data were collected. An estimated radiation dose range of 0.5-3.9 kilograys reduced most microbial populations, depending on specific diet and microbe type. Irradiation had no overall effect on either feed consumption or fecal consistency in captive exotic cats, regardless of species, age, sex, or body mass. Data indicate that irradiation of frozen horse meat-based diets (packaged in 2.2-kg portions) result in microbial destruction in these products but that product storage time between irradiation and sampling may also affect microbial reduction. However, irradiation would be an appropriate method for reducing potentially pathologic bacteria in raw meat fed to exotic cats.
