    Abstract This comprehensive text is an easy-to-access reference that provides a foundation for understanding contemporary evidence-based practices relating to pain management in the perioperative setting. Chapters review the exponential increase in prescription drug abuse associated with the “opioid epidemic”; surgeons’ important role in managing perioperative and chronic pain in a variety of practice settings; the role of quality improvement in patient safety initiatives; inadequate opioid prescribing education (OPE) in surgical training programs; and literature demonstrating the existence of evidence-based alternatives to opioids. Written and edited by experts in the field of anesthesiology and pain medicine, Perioperative Pain Control: Tools for Surgeons is a practical resource for surgical trainees and surgeons of all specialties including general surgery, thoracic surgery, otolaryngology, plastic surgery, urology, gynecology, vascular surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic surgery.

    Abstract The basis for computation in the brain is the quantum threshold of "soliton," which accompanies the ion changes of the action potential, and the refractory membrane at convergences. Here, we provide a logical explanation from the action potential to a neuronal model of the coding and computation of the retina. We also explain how the visual cortex operates through quantum-phase processing. In the small-world network, parallel frequencies collide into definable patterns of distinct objects. Elsewhere, we have shown how many sensory cells are meanly sampled from a single neuron and that convergences of neurons are common. We also demonstrate, using the threshold and refractory period of a quantum-phase pulse, that action potentials diffract across a neural network due to the annulment of parallel collisions in the phase ternary computation (PTC). Thus, PTC applied to neuron convergences results in a collective mean sampled frequency and is the only mathematical solution within the constraints of the brain neural networks (BNN). In the retina and other sensory areas, we discuss how this information is initially coded and then understood in terms of network abstracts within the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and visual cortex. First, by defining neural patterning within a neural network, and then in terms of contextual networks, we demonstrate that the output of frequencies from the visual cortex contains information amounting to abstract representations of objects in increasing detail. We show that nerve tracts from the LGN provide time synchronization to the neocortex (defined as the location of the combination of connections of the visual cortex, motor cortex, auditory cortex, etc.). The full image is therefore combined in the neocortex with other sensory modalities so that it receives information about the object from the eye and all the abstracts that make up the object. Spatial patterns in the visual cortex are formed from individual patterns illuminating the retina, and memory is encoded by reverberatory loops of computational action potentials (CAPs). We demonstrate that a similar process of PTC may take place in the cochlea and associated ganglia, as well as ascending information from the spinal cord, and that this function should be considered universal where convergences of neurons occur.

    Abstract This Final Environmental Impact Statement (final EIS) presents the analysis concerning three alternatives for treating invasive plant species and mountain big sagebrush on the Bighorn National Forest. Alternative 1 is a continuation of current invasive plant species and mountain big sagebrush management. Alternative 2, the preferred alternative, could treat thousands of acres of invasive plant species annually using a combination of manual, mechanical, and biological methods, and aerial and ground application of herbicide. In addition, mountain big sagebrush on the Forest would be treated using a combination of prescribed burning, mowing, and aerial and ground-based application of herbicide. Alternative 3 is similar to Alternative 2 but does not utilize aerial application of herbicide. The proposed treatments would utilize a condition-based management strategy.

    Abstract The bark beetle, Ernoporus parvulus (Eggers, 1943) was collected from Pinellas County, Florida, USA representing the first North American record of the genus. Two species previously described from the Caribbean were examined and are synonymous: Ernoporus minutus (Bright Torres, 2006) syn. nov. and E. exquisitus (Bright, 2019) syn. nov. This beetle is likely an overlooked exotic from Africa, known only from sea hibiscus, Talipariti tiliaceum (L.) Fryxell (Malvaceae). There is no evidence that this is a threat to commercial or ornamental Hibiscus and related species.

    Abstract Platelets are anucleated cells produced by megakaryocytes, from which they inherit all the components necessary to carry their functions. They circulate in blood vessels where they play essential roles in coagulation, wound repair or inflammation, and have been implicated in various pathological conditions such as thrombosis, viral infection or cancer progression. The importance of these cells has been established over a century ago, and effective anti-platelet medications with different mechanisms of action have since been developed. However, these therapies are not always effective and can incur adverse events, thus a better understanding of platelets molecular processes is needed to address these issues and improve our understanding of platelet functions. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have leveraged OMICs technologies to analyze their content and identify molecular signatures and mechanisms associated with platelet functions and platelet related disorders. In particular, the increased accessibility of microarrays and RNA sequencing opened the way for studies of the platelet transcriptome under a wide array of conditions. These studies revealed distinct expression profiles in diverse pathologies, which could lead to the discovery of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets, and suggests a dynamic transcriptome that could influence platelet mechanisms. In this review, we highlight the different sources of transcript level variability in platelets while summarizing recent advances and discoveries from this emerging field.

    Abstract Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare tumors with increasing incidence. GIST is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract involving the elderly population with a slow progression. It originates from the interstitial cells of Cajal. GISTs that develop outside the gastrointestinal tract and have no connections with the intestinal walls or serosal surfaces of the gastrointestinal tubular organs are referred to as extraintestinal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs). They have similar morphological and immunohistological characteristics as GISTs. Here, we describe a unique case of an extremely aggressive mesenteric GIST in a 44-year-old African American male. The patient presented to the hospital with complaints of generalized abdominal pain associated with 50-pound weight loss, decreased appetite, and constipation. He underwent computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis which showed a large mass along the central mesentery measuring about 15 × 11 cm with adjacent metastatic nodal disease. He underwent a CT-guided biopsy of his abdominal mass with histopathology findings positive for c-kit (CD117) and discovered on GIST-1 (DOG-1) consistent with GIST. Based on TNM staging, his tumor was graded T4 with N1 given nodal involvement placing him as a stage IV. He was referred to an oncologist and was started on neoadjuvant therapy with imatinib. Mesenteric EGISTs, while rare, are known to have a worse prognosis compared to other EGISTs; hence, prompt action must be taken in aggressively treating these tumors. Factors such as mitotic index and tumor size affect the prognosis of mesenteric GISTs.

    Abstract The question of how features are bound together in working memory has become a topic of much research in recent years. However, this is typically focused on visual and/or auditory stimuli. The purpose of this study is to apply established feature binding procedures to investigate odour binding in working memory. Across three experiments, memory for intentionally and incidentally formed odour-colour pairings was tested. Experiment 1 showed that following explicit instruction to remember the odour-colour combinations, young adults can recall lists of 3-pairings at levels above that of chance and exhibit a recency advantage for the last pairing. In Experiment 2 participants were asked to prioritise the first pairing in the list or treat all pairings equally. We observed only limited evidence of prioritisation affecting the serial position function. Experiment 3 explored incidental odour-colour binding. Using a yes/no recognition procedure, accuracy did not differ for positive test probes presented in the same (bound) or different (unbound) colour to encoding. This study is one of the first to examine odour-colour binding in working memory and, taking the evidence together, suggests that odour-colour bindings can be formed in working memory; however, functionality may be limited compared to that of visual feature binding.
