Development of a Community-engaged Research Training Workshop for Clinician-Scientists and Early-stage InvestigatorsNARA Subscribed
Community-engaged research (CEnR), a collaboration between academics and community partners, is an effective approach in addressing the social drivers of health (SDOH) and health disparities in local communities. Yet, CEnR training is often not a standard component of training programs in research or clinical programs. To meet the need for CEnR training, we developed and implemented a workshop to increase CEnR knowledge and sk...
Fentanyl decreases arterial blood oxygen saturation more than furanylfentanyl in mice due to increased apneaNARA Subscribed
Rationale Fatal opioid overdoses involving synthetic opioids have increased >10-fold over the past 8 years. Fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid acting at the mu-opioid receptor (MOR), has largely replaced heroin as the predominant illicit opioid available. Various analogs have been synthesized from the fentanyl scaffold, including 2-furanylfentanyl, one of the most trafficked analogs from 2019 to 2024. Despite its prevalence,...
Effects of prey and tissue type on δ13C and δ15N discrimination and turnover rates of rainbow troutNARA Subscribed
Stable isotope analysis is used often in ecological studies to examine dietary patterns of consumers and food web structure, yet we still know little regarding some underlying assumptions, including for well-studied species like rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss . We assessed δ 13 C and δ 15 N discrimination (∆) and turnover rates in blood, liver and white muscle of rainbow trout fed natural prey items (sculpin and chironomids...
Lawson Aerator applications on rangelands: Lessons learnedNARA Subscribed
Heat-labile toxin (LT) from enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is an important pathogenic protein. Anti-LT antibodies (Abs) induced by vaccination can neutralize the toxin and potentially prevent diarrheal secretion from ~ 60% of ETEC strains expressing LT. However, only superficial investigation of the anti-toxin response is usually conducted in clinical trials. Here, we utilized human serum samples from two clinical tri...
Nighttime land surface temperature and thermal discomfort in a seasonally muggy climateNARA Subscribed
Globally, increasing air moisture can limit not only the human body’s ability to cool down, but also that of the Earth’s surface. This interaction, however, remains understudied—especially across subtropical-to-tropical regions that experience high levels of humidity. Here, we examine how air moisture influences nighttime land surface temperatures (LSTs), as well as what this interaction means for thermal comfort overnight. Du...
DNA metabarcoding is increasingly used in dietary studies, but this molecular technique has limitations including DNA extraction, primer choice suitability and completeness of DNA reference databases. Together, these limitations can create successive biases; some of which can be identified by careful data interrogation. Here, we examine some of the influential factors impacting DNA metabarcoding by focusing on the diet of the...
Fish biologists have long assumed a link between intestinal length and diet, and relative gut length or Zihler’s index are often used to classify species into trophic groups. This has been done for specific fish taxa or specific ecosystems, but not for a global fish dataset. Here, we assess these relationships across a dataset of 468 fish species (254 marine, 191 freshwater, and 23 that occupy both habitats) in relation to bod...
CamTrapAsia : A dataset of tropical forest vertebrate communities from 239 camera trapping studiesNARA Subscribed
Information on tropical Asian vertebrates has traditionally been sparse, particularly when it comes to cryptic species inhabiting the dense forests of the region. Vertebrate populations are declining globally due to land‐use change and hunting, the latter frequently referred as “defaunation.” This is especially true in tropical Asia where there is extensive land‐use change and high human densities. Robust monitoring requires t...
