    Abstract Vacuole formation is a key hallmark of age-dependent neurodegeneration in the Drosophila brain. Here, we present a protocol to analyze 3D neurodegenerative vacuoles in the whole-mount Drosophila melanogaster brain. We describe steps for whole-brain dissection, staining, 3D imaging, and z-stack image processing using Fiji ImageJ. We then detail procedures for annotating and 3D-reconstructing neurodegenerative vacuoles with WEBKNOSSOS and Python, and performing statistical analysis in Python. This protocol enables measurement of parameters such as the number and volume of each vacuole. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Elguero et al.

    Abstract Emotional stimuli (e.g. words, images) are often remembered better than neutral stimuli. However, little is known about how memory is affected by an environmentally induced emotional state (without any overtly emotional occurrences) - the focus of this study.

    Abstract Background: Within North America and worldwide, drug related overdoses have increased dramatically over the past decade. COVID-19 escalated the need for a safer supply to replace unregulated substances and to reduce toxicity and overdoses. Service providers play an integral role in the delivery of safer supply but there is little empirical evidence that conceptualizes effective safer supply from their perspectives. This study explored early implementation and impacts of a safer supply program, capturing the perspectives of an interdisciplinary team of service providers on tensions and issues encountered in the development of the SAFER program.
    Methods: Using a community-based participatory approach, we conducted individual interviews with program providers (n = 9). The research team was composed of researchers from a local drug user organization, a local harm reduction organization, and academic researchers. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) informed the interview guide. Data was analyzed using thematic analysis.
    Results: There are six themes describing early implementation: (1) risk mitigation prescribing as context for early implementation; (2) developing SAFER specific clinical protocols; (3) accessibility challenges and program innovations; (4) interdisciplinary team and wraparound care; (5) program tensions between addiction medicine and harm reduction; (6) the successes of safer supply and future visions.
    Conclusion: Early implementation issues and tensions included prescriber concerns about safer supply prescribing in a highly politicized environment, accessibility challenges for service users such as stigma, encampment displacement, OAT requirements, program capacity and costs, and tensions between addiction medicine and harm reduction. Navigating these tensions included development of clinical protocols, innovations to reduce accessibility challenges such as outreach, wraparound care, program coverage of medication costs and prescribing safer supply with/without OAT. These findings contribute important insights for the development of prescribed safer supply programs.

    Abstract In nervous system development, disease and injury, neurons undergo programmed cell death, leaving behind cell corpses that are removed by phagocytic glia. Altered glial phagocytosis has been implicated in several neurological diseases including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic brain injury.

    Abstract This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine whether Olympic weightlifting (OW) exercises would improve sprint performance when compared to a control intervention, (no training, standard sport-specific training, traditional resistance training, or plyometric training). Medline, Web of Science, SportDiscus, CINAHL, and Biological Science from inception to September 2022 was searched. Two authors independently selected the included studies, extracted data, and appraised the risk of bias. Certainty of the evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation methodology. The primary meta-analysis combined the results of the sprint performance over the full length of each sprint test. The secondary meta-analyses combined the results of the sprint performance at 5, 10, and 20 m distance to capture information about the acceleration phase of the sprint tests. Eight studies with 206 athletes (female n=10, age range: 18.9-24.2 years) were identified. Sprint performance did not differ significantly comparing OW to the control intervention, nor at the full length (standardized mean difference=-0.07, 95% CI=-0.47 to 0.34,

    Abstract Many animal traits are influenced by their associated microorganisms ("microbiota"). To expand our understanding of the relationship between microbial genotype and host phenotype, we report an analysis of the influence of the microbiota on the dietary preference of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. First, we confirmed through experiments on flies reared bacteria-free ("axenic") or in monoassociation with two different strains of bacteria that the microbiota significantly influences fruit fly dietary preference across a range of ratios of dietary yeast:dietary glucose. Then, focusing on microbiota-dependent changes in fly dietary preference for yeast (DPY), we performed a metagenome-wide association (MGWA) study to define microbial species specificity for this trait and to predict bacterial genes that influence it. In a subsequent mutant analysis, we confirmed that disrupting a subset of the MGWA-predicted genes influences fly DPY, including for genes involved in thiamine biosynthesis and glucose transport. Follow-up tests revealed that the bacterial influence on fly DPY did not depend on bacterial modification of the glucose or protein content of the fly diet, suggesting that the bacteria mediate their effects independent of the fly diet or through more specific dietary changes than broad ratios of protein and glucose. Together, these findings provide additional insight into bacterial determinants of host nutrition and behavior by revealing specific genetic disruptions that influence D. melanogaster DPY.
