    Abstract The tremendous success of vaccination programs worldwide over the past two centuries has produced a paradoxical effect whereby a lack of exposure to the devastating consequences of vaccine-preventable diseases has created an environment in which fear of the side effects of vaccines can overshadow concerns about the impact of the diseases they are meant to prevent. As vaccine hesitancy grew over the past twenty years, states passed legislation, such as non-medical exemptions from vaccination, that have cultivated pockets of poor vaccine uptake allowing for the return of vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles and pertussis. The COVID-19 pandemic has further intensified mistrust of vaccines, impacting both the reasons for vaccine hesitancy and the attributes of vaccine hesitant parents. Because unimmunized children are at increased risk for vaccine-preventable diseases and associated cancers, as well as reduced access to adequate healthcare, they are a particularly vulnerable population warranting special protections and support. A comprehensive approach to combat vaccine hesitancy and promote uptake should include a focus on evidence-based initiatives at the legislative, practice, and provider levels. These strategies can substantively inform health policy, from upstream legislation strengthening school mandates and eliminating non-medical exemptions to downstream policies that impact provider conversations about immunization.

    Abstract Dominance hierarchies often form between species, especially at common feeding locations. Yet, relative to work focused on the factors that maintain stable dominance hierarchies within species, large-scale analyses of interspecific dominance hierarchies have been comparatively rare. Given that interspecific behavioral interference mediates access to resources, these dominance hierarchies likely play an important and understudied role in community assembly and behavioral evolution. To test alternative hypotheses about the formation and maintenance of interspecific dominance hierarchies, we employ an large, participatory science generated dataset of displacements observed at feeders in North America in the non-breeding season. Consistent with the hypothesis that agonistic interference can be an adaptive response to exploitative competition, we find that species with similar niches are more likely to engage in costly aggression over resources. Among interacting species, we find broad support for the hypothesis that familiarity (measured as fine-scale habitat overlap) predicts adherence to the structure of the dominance hierarchy and reduces aggression between species. Our findings suggest that the previously documented agonistic hierarchy in North American birds emerges from species-level adaptations and learned behaviors that result in the avoidance of costly aggression.

    Abstract We present analysis of neuronal activity recordings from a subset of neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex of rats before and after the administration of cocaine. Using an underlying modern Hopfield model as a description for the neuronal network, combined with a machine learning approach, we compute the underlying functional connectivity of the neuronal network. We find that the functional connectivity changes after the administration of cocaine with both functional-excitatory and functional-inhibitory neurons being affected. Using conventional network analysis, we find that the diameter of the graph, or the shortest length between the two most distant nodes, increases with cocaine, suggesting that the neuronal network is less robust. We also find that the betweenness centrality scores for several of the functional-excitatory and functional-inhibitory neurons decrease significantly, while other scores remain essentially unchanged, to also suggest that the neuronal network is less robust. Finally, we study the distribution of neuronal activity and relate it to energy to find that cocaine drives the neuronal network towards destabilization in the energy landscape of neuronal activation. While this destabilization is presumably temporary given one administration of cocaine, perhaps this initial destabilization indicates a transition towards a new stable state with repeated cocaine administration. However, such analyses are useful more generally to understand how neuronal networks respond to perturbations.

    Abstract Advancements in genetic testing in the healthcare setting, most recently genomic sequencing, has enhanced our ability to diagnose genetic conditions. These advances include increased accessibility and affordability of genomic technologies. With expanded use comes the potential for significant ethical challenges for clinicians, particularly considering the implications of testing a child for one condition and incidentally finding a different condition or health risk. In this focused review, we address various ethical considerations from informed consent to the rights of a child undergoing genetic testing.

    Abstract Prior studies suggest that native (born to at least one deaf or signing parent) and non-native signers have different musculoskeletal health outcomes from signing, but the individual and combined biomechanical factors driving these differences are not fully understood. Such group differences in signing may be explained by the five biomechanical factors of American Sign Language that have been previously identified: ballistic signing, hand and wrist deviations, work envelope, muscle tension, and "micro" rests. Prior work used motion capture and surface electromyography to collect joint kinematics and muscle activations, respectively, from ten native and thirteen non-native signers as they signed for 7.5 min. Each factor was individually compared between groups. A factor analysis was used to determine the relative contributions of each biomechanical factor between signing groups. No significant differences were found between groups for ballistic signing, hand and wrist deviations, work envelope volume, excursions from recommended work envelope, muscle tension, or "micro" rests. Factor analysis revealed that "micro" rests had the strongest contribution for both groups, while hand and wrist deviations had the weakest contribution. Muscle tension and work envelope had stronger contributions for native compared to non-native signers, while ballistic signing had a stronger contribution for non-native compared to native signers. Using a factor analysis enabled discernment of relative contributions of biomechanical variables across native and non-native signers that could not be detected through isolated analysis of individual measures. Differences in the contributions of these factors may help explain the differences in signing across native and non-native signers.

    Abstract Background: Risk factors of acute compartment syndrome (ACS) of the leg include tibial fractures followed by soft tissue injuries.
    Methods: Data collected from the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) between 2017 and 2019 were analyzed for adult patients with lower extremity fractures, including proximal tibia, tibial shaft, and distal tibia. The primary outcome was a diagnosis of ACS.
    Results: There were 1052/220,868 patients with lower extremity fractures with a concomitant diagnosis of compartment syndrome. Our study has shown that patients with a BMI of ≥30 had a lower incidence of compartment syndrome when compared with patients with a BMI of 25-29 and controlled for fracture type. Increased age ≥55 in males, and females between 65 and 84, also demonstrated a decreased risk. Proximal tibial fractures (n ​= ​54,696) were significantly associated with ACS compared to midshaft (n ​= ​42,153) and distal (n ​= ​100,432), p ​< ​0.0001.
    Conclusion: We found that being overweight decreases risk for development of compartment syndrome in patients with lower extremity fractures. This big data study aids in establishing risk factors for development of ACS in adult trauma patients.
