    Abstract Study objectives: Given the barriers to good sleep in corrections facilities and the lack of research in this area, the current study aimed to characterize sleep quality and insomnia incidence in women in jail. Furthermore, we aimed to investigate the relation of sleep to depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and trauma exposure in incarcerated women. Lastly, we examined self-reports of environmental and individual factors that impaired sleeping in this population.
    Methods: Participants included 176 women incarcerated in two jails in southeast Idaho. Participants were randomly selected to complete several self-report questionnaires, including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the Insomnia Severity Index, verbally administered by interviewers.
    Results: A majority of participants endorsed poor sleep quality (76%) and subthreshold or higher levels of insomnia (70%). Multiple regression analyses found that depressive symptoms and PTSD symptoms were both significantly related to insomnia and poor sleep quality. Excessive noise, poor bedding, and mental health were commonly cited factors that disrupted sleep.
    Conclusions: These results are consistent with previous literature that has examined these outcomes in prison populations and incarcerated populations in other countries. Correctional facilities can consider altering environmental factors that impair sleep to not only promote better overall health but also as a way to address common manifestations of poor mental health in their inmate populations. Screening for and treating mental health problems, namely depression and PTSD, is another way these facilities can improve inmate health and promote better sleep.

    Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic acid (GA) antagonistically regulate many aspects of plant growth, including seed dormancy and germination. The effects of these hormones are mediated by a complex network of positive and negative regulators of transcription. The DELLA family of proteins repress GA response, and can promote an ABA response via interactions with numerous regulators, including the ABA-insensitive (ABI) transcription factors. The AFP family of ABI5 binding proteins are repressors of the ABA response. This study tested the hypothesis that the AFPs also interact antagonistically with DELLA proteins. Members of these protein families interacted weakly in yeast two-hybrid and bimolecular fluorescence complementation studies. Overexpression of AFPs in

    Abstract Background: Intravenous antibiotic infusion has been the standard prophylaxis for total joint arthroplasty surgery. However, infection rates still occur at 1%-2% in many series. Single-dose intra-articular antibiotics (IAAs) present a safe and potentially more effective prophylactic regime in total joint arthroplasty. This study aimed to assess the outcomes of a single-dose IAA injection on PJI rates in a single surgeon series of hip and knee arthroplasty.
    Methods: We reviewed the data of all patients operated on for a primary hip or knee replacement from 2010 to 2021. From January 2018, 1 gm of vancomycin in 10 ml of saline was injected into every total joint replacement after fascial closure. A comparison was made with PJI referencing the Australian National Joint Replacement Registry data on revision for the 2 periods: 2010-2017 and 2018-2021.
    Results: During the period without IAA (2010-2017) for TKR, 6 of 489 (1.2%), and for THR, 5 of 694 (0.7%) had PJI requiring revision surgery. In the period with IAA (2018-2021) for TKR, 0 of 214 (0%,
    Conclusions: A single dose of intra-articular vancomycin 1 gm injected into the total joint replacement following fascial closure reduced the incidence of deep PJI requiring a revision surgery in a single-surgeon series. These results demonstrate significant benefits to this technique which merit further larger trials.

    Abstract Background: Hip and knee arthritis are two of the most common conditions that result in referral to orthopaedic outpatient clinics. Many patients now use the internet to research their condition and to inform their decision about treatment options. This has implications for the process of informed consent.
    Aim: To assess the quality of patient information on the internet regarding hip and knee arthritis.
    Methods: 'Hip arthritis' and 'Knee arthritis' were entered as search terms into a popular search engine. To adjust for temporal variation, the process was repeated one month and one year later. Of the 200 results analysed, 83 websites met the inclusion criteria. The quality of patient information presented on these websites was assessed using a validated scoring instrument by two independent observers.
    Results: Most websites assessed were of poor quality; nearly half of all websites did not mention any risks or complications associated with surgical intervention for these conditions.
    Conclusions: As part of their professional obligation to provide a robust process of informed consent, clinicians should be aware of the variable quality of patient information available on the internet. As such, they should be prepared to advise their patients about quality websites where reliable information can be sought.

    Abstract A widely utilised class of ligands in synthesis and catalysis, β-diketiminate (BDI) or NacNac compounds were initially considered innocent in the sense that they remained intact in all their applications. That changed when the γ-C-H unit of their NCCCN backbone was found to engage in reactions with electrophiles. Here, we show that this special reactivity can be used advantageously to prepare tripodal modifications of the common NacNac ligand derived from 2,6-diisopropylphenyl-β-methyldiketimine [NacNacH (Me, Dipp)]. Lithiation to give NacNacLi, followed by reactions with isocyanates, isothiocyanates and a carbodiimide, have afforded a series of tripodal NacNac variants having N,N,N,O; N,N,N,S; or N,N,N,N potential dentation sites, many of which have been crystallographically characterised. Distinct ligating modes of these new ligands have been elucidated through the crystal structures of their lithiated derivatives.

    Abstract Here we present a fluorescence microscope light path that enables imaging, during free behavior, of thousands of neurons in mice and hundreds of neurons in juvenile songbirds. The light path eliminates traditional illumination optics, allowing for head-mounted microscopes that have both a lower weight and a larger field of view (FOV) than previously possible. Using this light path, we designed two microscopes: one optimized for FOV (~4 mm FOV; 1.4 g), and the other optimized for weight (1.0 mm FOV; 1.0 g).

    Abstract Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) is a rapidly evolving diagnosis that can represent early or variant achalasia. Since the publication of the Chicago Classification version 4.0, the criteria for this diagnosis have been more stringent. Currently, the criteria include an elevated median integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) in both the supine and upright positions, elevated intrabolus pressure in at least 20% of supine swallows, dysphagia and/or chest pain, as well as an abnormal timed barium esophagram and/or impedance planimetry testing. Additionally, other secondary causes may result in an elevated IRP and must be excluded. The management of conclusive EGJOO is targeted therapy to the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), although treatment is not straightforward. Overall, adjuvant testing and data should be scrutinized for appropriateness of LES disruption. The spectrum of treatment options includes simple monitoring as well as more invasive therapies such as endoscopic dilation and myotomy. This article explores the newest criteria and management options for clinically relevant EGJOO.

    Abstract Cartilage defects of the knee are a common problem that can be caused by trauma or chronic repetitive overload and result in debilitating functional limitations. These consequences are of particular significance to military service members, who, by in large, are a group of young, active individuals with professional duties requiring full, unrestricted activity and function. The burden of knee chondral-related disease among military tactical athletes is well established, and systematic approach to the evaluation of a military member with suspected knee chondral pathology facilitates the execution of a surgical procedure that maximizes the likelihood of a return to duty. Despite advances in cartilage restoration surgery, chondral pathology of the knee remains a vexing problem and an omnipresent threat to military medical readiness and warfighter lethality.

    Abstract It is widely reported that the overexpression of the C-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 2 (CCR2) has negative implications in neuroinflammatory diseases such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), although promising drugs to tackle this have been less forthcoming. As of 2016, only 2 drugs specifically targeting this receptor have made their way to market, with unsuccessful outcome unfortunately, suggesting that the search for more specific and precise ligands is utterly necessary. In this paper we hypothesized that by targeting Glu291, Met295, Trp98, Leu45 and Val189 amino acids, essential in the binding of CCR2 with C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 2 (CCL2), the endogenous substrate, mitigates its activity in TBI. We used a pharmacophore model to screen for suitable ligands that may bind to CCR2, which returned 871 ligands. Docking and molecular dynamics results uncovered that two ligands (A102) and (A435) contained several of those important residues and showed a stability and compactness when in complex with CCR2, with these results confirmed by MMGBSA calculations with A102 recording a better interaction compared to A435. Finally, a PPI network was built to explore downstream signaling being regulated by both ligands in TBI, showing amyloid precursor protein (APP) as a key target and neuroactive-ligand receptor interaction (1.80E-27) the top functional annotated category. In conclusion, for the first time we report novel ligands A102 and A435 targeting CCR2 as a potential new pharmacological approach to target inflammation post-TBI.
