    Abstract Background: Normative infant body composition data using air displacement plethysmography (ADP) are from primarily Caucasian populations. Racial differences may exist.
    Objectives: To describe body composition in Asian and Pacific Islander infants and compare them to previously published data on Caucasian infants.
    Design: Body composition was measured using ADP with the PEA POD® Infant Body Composition System in 249 healthy full-term newborns in a predominately Asian and Pacific Islander population in Hawaii within the first 3 days of life and compared to published data on Caucasian infants with multiple t-tests adjusted for false discovery rate.
    Results: There were no differences in percent body fat between Asian, Pacific Islander, or mixed race Asian Pacific Islander infants. Both Asian and Pacific Islander infants had significantly higher percent body fat than Caucasians from Italy in Europe (13.2% and 11.8% vs 8.9%, p < 0.01 among males, 15.3% and 15.6% vs 8.7%, p < 0.01 among females) but not when compared to Caucasians from New York.
    Conclusions: Racial and geographical differences in body composition exist at birth between Asian and Pacific Islanders and other Caucasian cohorts. Previously published ADP nomograms must be interpreted with caution. Future studies are needed to investigate the impact of environmental, perinatal, and genetic factors on infant body composition and its relationship to future cardiometabolic morbidity. Efforts to address racial disparities in cardiometabolic disease measures must also address pre-conceptual maternal health, which may have long-term implications on future body composition in offspring.

    Abstract Objective: To describe the quality of food and physical activity (PA) environments by World Bank Income level in jurisdictions from the Children's Healthy Living Program.
    Design: Baseline cross-sectional community data were analyzed from 11 jurisdictions categorized by World Bank Income levels to describe exposure to different food and PA outlets. The Children's Healthy Living Program was a multilevel, multijurisdictional prevalence study and community intervention trial that reduced child obesity in the US-Affiliated Pacific region.
    Setting: US-Affiliated Pacific region.
    Participants: Food (n = 426) and PA (n = 552) Outlets.
    Main outcome measures: Physical activity and food scores that reflect the quality of the outlets that support being physically active and healthy eating options, respectively.
    Analysis: Descriptive statistics are presented as means ± SD or percentages.
    Results: High-income-income level jurisdictions had higher food and PA scores than middle-income level jurisdictions.
    Conclusions and implications: The US-Affiliated Pacific region has limited quality food and PA outlets in underserved communities at risk for obesity. The findings in this paper can be used to develop tools and design interventions to improve the food and PA environment to increase a healthier, active lifestyle.

    Abstract Acute pain intensity has conventionally been assessed with a patient self-reported, unidimensional pain scale. This approach can inadvertently underestimate analgesia and result in large cumulative opioid doses and greater dose-dependent side effects and complications. We have thus created the Therapeutic Activity Goal (TAG) as an alternate, more comprehensive way to assess acute postoperative pain, and even more so, to define and determine adequate postoperative analgesia. The TAG comprises the level of acceptable pain intensity, the level and types of desired activities, and accomplishing other patient-centered functional goals. The TAG evolves throughout the patient's hospitalization to promote timely discharge.

    Abstract Introduction: Waist circumference is a common anthropometric measure for predicting abdominal obesity and insulin resistance. We developed optimal waist circumference cut points for children aged 2 to 8 years in the US-Affiliated Pacific (USAP) region based on the relationship of waist circumference and acanthosis nigricans in this population.
    Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis from the Children's Healthy Living Program's 2012-2013 data on 4,023 children. We used receiver-operating characteristic analysis to determine the sensitivity and specificity for acanthosis nigricans across waist circumference, by sex and age. We determined optimal waist circumference cutoff points corresponding to Youden index (J), (equal to [sensitivity + specificity] - 1), with acanthosis nigricans. We compared these cut points with the 90th percentile.
    Results: The 90th-percentile cut points for boys aged 2 to 5 years (58.15 cm) and 6 to 8 years (71.63 cm) were slightly higher than for girls in both age groups (aged 2-5 y, 57.97 cm; 6-8 y: 70.37 cm). The optimal cut points (corresponding to the highest sensitivity and specificity) were as follows: for boys aged 2 to 5 years, 90th percentile (58.25 cm; sensitivity, 48.0%; specificity, 91.5%); for boys aged 6 to 8 years, 78th percentile (63.59 cm; sensitivity, 86.8%; specificity, 82.8%); for girls aged 2 to 5 years, 62nd percentile (53.27 cm; sensitivity, 71.4%; specificity, 63.1%), and for girls aged 6 to 8 years, 80th percentile (63.63 cm; sensitivity, 55.4%; specificity, 82.9%).
    Conclusion: Among USAP children, waist circumference was a reasonable predictor for acanthosis nigricans. Further analysis is warranted to examine causes of acanthosis nigricans at lower-than-expected waist circumference percentiles. The cut points can be used for early detection of metabolic risk.

    Abstract The integration of genetic and physical maps of maize is progressing rapidly, but the cytogenetic maps lag behind, with the exception of the pachytene fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) maps of maize chromosome 9. We sought to produce integrated FISH maps of other maize chromosomes using Core Bin Marker loci. Because these 1 Kb restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) probes are below the FISH detection limit, we used BACs from sorghum, a small-genome relative of maize, as surrogate clones for FISH mapping. We sequenced 151 maize RFLP probes and compared in silico BAC selection methods to that of library filter hybridization and found the latter to be the best. BAC library screening, clone verification, and single-clone selection criteria are presented along with an example of transgenomic BAC FISH mapping. This strategy has been used to facilitate the integration of RFLP and FISH maps in other large-genome species.
