Nervous systems have the ability to select appropriate actions and action sequences in response to sensory cues.The circuit mechanisms by which nervous systems achieve choice, stability and transitions between behaviors are still incompletely understood.To identify neurons and brain areas involved in controlling these processes, we combined a large
Abstract Background Rocuronium bromide (RB) is known to cause vascular pain.Although there have been a few reports that diluted administration causes less vascular pain, there have been no studies investigating diluted administration and the onset time of muscle relaxation.Therefore, we examined the influence of diluted administration of RB on the
ABSTRACT The fitness cost of an antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) can differ across host strains, creating refuges that allow the maintenance of an ARG in the absence of direct selection for its resistance phenotype.Despite the importance of such ARG-host interactions for predicting ARG dynamics, the basis of ARG fitness costs and their variability
Background: Despite declining lead exposure among U.S.children, childhood blood lead level (BLL) undertesting and elevation remains a public health issue.This study explores the impacts of maternal, infant, and neighborhood characteristics on the receipt of lead testing and having elevated BLLs (EBLLs) among children under age two.Methods: Pennsylv
