    Abstract This brief communication describes a rare spontaneous background lesion in the lower urinary tract of two male laboratory beagles. Proliferative lesions comprising a constellation of histological features consistent with polypoid cystitis were observed in the bladder of two adolescent dogs from a routine preclinical toxicology study. Both animals were clinically asymptomatic and had only minor alterations in urinalysis parameters. While chronic polypoid cystitis is well-recognized in adult pet dogs, this is the first reported case in purpose-bred laboratory beagles. An awareness of this uncommon background finding is important for toxicological pathologists to distinguish it from potential test article-related findings.

    Abstract The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a highly efficient organ system with specialized structures to facilitate digestion and absorption of nutrients to meet the body's needs. The presence of nutrients in the GI tract supports optimal structure and function, stimulates regulatory hormones, and supports the microbiota, the population of microorganisms residing in the GI tract. A lack of enteral nutrition (EN) results in impaired GI integrity and serious patient complications, making EN a priority. Normal GI physiology is reviewed, and the regulatory impact of luminal nutrients on GI function is discussed.

    Abstract The purpose of this study is to clarify the magnitude of the association between maternal depression and infant attachment nonsecurity, and to identify possible moderators of this relationship. An extensive literature search was conducted using multiple databases of both published and unpublished studies. A meta-analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between maternal depression and infant attachment security and to establish the effect size. The main findings from this meta-analysis, which included 42 studies, indicate that there is a small, yet significant, relationship between maternal depression and infant attachment nonsecurity. The rate of nonsecurity in infants of mothers with depression was approximately 20% higher than expected rates in a nonclinical population, and the association between depressive symptoms and nonsecurity was small, but significant. Infants of mothers with depression were nearly twice as likely to have a nonsecure attachment than were infants of healthy mothers. Depression measure and maternal sample source were identified as significant moderators of the odds ratio effect size. Results of this study demonstrate that there is a significant relationship between maternal depression and infant attachment nonsecurity, and suggest that interventions that focus on both maternal mental health and the attachment relationship are warranted.

    Abstract The objective of the present study was to elucidate what student-athletes believe are the most significant barriers to consuming a healthy diet. 418 student-athletes at an NCAA Division 1 university were invited to complete a survey on their nutritional habits and barriers to healthy eating. The survey was designed utilizing the current literature in student-athletes and young adults and underwent a professional review and pilot study before use in data collection. 169 student-athletes (40%) fully completed the survey. Responses indicate the five most significant barriers are lack of time, easy access to unhealthy foods, cost of healthy foods, lack of knowledge about what foods are healthy, and lack of knowledge and skills to cook healthy foods, respectively. Further, data show significant relationships between several variables and the rate of selection of various barriers. Overall, these findings lay the groundwork for future interventions while also presenting initial, usable information for professionals.

    Abstract Individuals' knowledge and attitudes about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) work together to shape the stigma held about ASD. One way that this information is communicated to the public is through popular media; however, little is known about the effectiveness of fictional depictions of ASD in educating and shaping attitudes about ASD. The purpose of this research was to investigate the impact media has on knowledge about and attitudes towards ASD, compared to that of a college lecture on the subject. Exposure to one episode of a fictional drama depicting ASD, compared to watching a lecture, resulted in more accurate knowledge, more positive characteristics associated with ASD, fewer negative characteristics associated with ASD, and a greater desire to learn more about ASD.

    Abstract Aim: To evaluate the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) and muscular strength in a nationally representative sample of US youth.
    Methods: Participants (n = 3350) were 6- to 18-y-olds from 2011 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Relative handgrip strength was quantified using age- and sex-specific z-scores. Poor strength was defined as those <25th percentile. Multivariate general linear and logistic models were used to compare strength and poor strength status by clinically relevant groupings of 25OHD.
    Results: Approximately 20.2% of youth had 25OHD <50 nmol/L. Mean relative strength was highest for those at ≥75 nmol/L of 25OHD. The percentage of boys/girls with poor strength in the <50 nmol/L, 50-74.9 nmol/L and ≥75 nmol/L groups was 34.9%/32.3%, 25.8%/28.2% and 14.0%/15.8%, respectively. The odds of boys and girls with <50 nmol/L 25OHD having poor strength were 2.8 (95% CI: 1.4, 5.5) and 3.4 (1.7, 6.8) times higher compared to those with ≥75 nmol/L, respectively.
    Conclusion: Higher levels of circulating vitamin D were associated with higher relative strength, and poor strength was more prevalent when 25OHD was <75 nmol/L. These findings highlight the value of vitamin D for the muscle-bone unit and potential extraskeletal ramifications.

    Abstract Objective: Quality of life for patients with kidney failure is less than similar-aged, general population counterparts. A large part of the decrease in quality of life is from the change of diet and nutritional restrictions. One way to combat this decrease in quality of life is through oral nutrition supplements.
    Methods: An ice-cream substitute product was developed for patients with kidney failure on peritoneal dialysis. The product consisted of an ice-cream-like base of rice milk, egg whites, evaporated coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla bean paste. Two flavors were then created: cinnamon and lemon. Both flavors were tested subjectively and objectively. Sensory taste testing was with peritoneal dialysis patients using a Likert scale ballot with a comment section. Texture analysis was completed using a CT3 Brookfield texture analyzer. The results from the sensory testing (taste, texture, overall acceptability) and the texture analysis were analyzed using paired-samples t-tests. Nutritional analysis for the product was calculated.
    Results: The sensory test of taste, texture, and overall acceptability between the two flavors was not found to be statistically different between the cinnamon and lemon. Similarly, the objective results were also not statistically significant between the two flavors.
    Conclusion: Based on the nutritional analysis, both the lemon and the cinnamon flavors were found to be "good" sources of protein when compared with the Food and Drug Administration's definition of a "good" source of protein. In addition, patients found the sensory aspects of both flavors to be slightly to moderately likable.

    Abstract Computer-controlled treadmills are common in many gait labs and offer great potential for conducting perturbation-based postural studies. However, the time-course of these disturbances can be too brief to be controlled manually through product software. Here we present a system that combines a Bertec® split-belt treadmill with custom hardware and software to deliver postural disturbances during standing and record data from multiple sources simultaneously. We used this system to administer to 15 healthy participants an 8-session perturbation-based training protocol in which they learned to respond without stepping to progressively larger perturbations. Kinematic, electromyographic, and force data were collected throughout. Motion capture was used to characterize the accuracy and repeatability of the treadmill-delivered perturbations with respect to duration, displacement, and peak velocity. These (observed) data were compared to that expected based on software commands and the known constraints of the treadmill (i.e., 10 Hz operating speed). We found perturbation durations to be as expected. Peak velocities and displacements were slightly higher than expected (average increases were 0.59 cm/s and 1.76 cm, respectively). Because this increase in magnitude was consistent, it did not impede training or affect data analysis. Treadmill behavior was repeatable across 95 % of trials.
