EXPERIENCE WITH VIPERINE ENVENOMATION.

ABSTRACT: Two hundred and twenty one cases of viperine envenomation, who presented to hospital without specific treatment, seen over an twenty five years period, have been presented. Mild, moderate and severe envenomation was encountered in 33 per cent, 47 per cent and 20 per cent respectively. Bites on feet and ankles were seen in 85.5 per cent of cases. The average time interval between bite and hospitalisation was 4.8 hours, range being 15 minutes to 7 days. Local swelling was observed in 97.7 per cent, hematuria in 62 per cent, mucosal haemorrhages in 24.8 per cent and haematemesis in 19 per cent of patients. Average Antisnake Venom (ASV) required in mild, moderate and severe envenomation was 50 ml, 147.5 ml and 324 ml respectively. Major complications observed were renal failure in 10, intracompartmental syndrome in 3, intracerebral bleed and septicaemia in 2 each. One patient each developed finger gangrene, osteomyelitis, perirenal haematoma, sinus bradycardia and uncontrolled bleeding. Blood transfusion was required in 32 patients. Reactions to ASV were seen in 12 patients and overall there were 5 deaths.

Experience-induced remodeling of the hippocampal post-synaptic proteome and phosphoproteome

Project description:The postsynaptic density (PSD) of excitatory synapses contains a highly organized protein network with thousands of proteins and is key node in the regulation of synaptic plasticity. To gain new mechanistic insight into experience-induced changes in the PSD, we examined the global dynamics of the hippocampal PSD proteome and phosphoproteome in mice following 4 different types of experience. Mice were trained using an inhibitory avoidance (IA) task and hippocampal PSD fractions were isolated from individual mice to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying experience-dependent remodeling of synapses. We developed a new strategy to identify and quantify the relatively low level of site-specific phosphorylation of PSD proteome from the hippocampus, by using a modified iTRAQ-based TiSH protocol. In the PSD, we identified 3,938 proteins and 2,761 phosphoproteins in the sequential strategy covering a total of 4,968 unique protein groups (at least 2 peptides including an unique peptide). On the phosphoproteins, we identified a total of 6,188 unambiguous phosphosites (75% site localization probability)

Experience induces rapid nucleus-scale movements of chromatin.

Project description:The interphase nucleus is functionally organized in active and repressed territories defining the transcriptional status of the cell. Dynamic chromatin movements at the scale of the nucleus are believed to support transcriptional alterations. Applying in vivo two-photon imaging in a novel transgenic mouse model allowing photolabeling of histones, we show that chromatin organization of neurons can undergo movements within minutes. Pharmacological manipulation of neuronal activity induces chromatin movement in an in vitro brain slice model. Furthermore, we show that a behavioral learning paradigm prompting changes in gene expression patterns in auditory cortex, induces chromatin movement in neurons in vivo. We propose that active chromatin movements at the nucleus scale act together with local gene-specific modifications to enable transcriptional plasticity at the time scales that could not be realized by passive diffusion. Together, our findings open a framework to chronically study chromatin dynamics at the nucleus-scale in a physiologically relevant context.

Cancer Experience Registry (CER)

Project description:The Cancer Experience Registry: An Online Survey Research Study to Understand the Experiences of Those Impacted By a Cancer Diagnosis. The Registry is a web-based platform to distribute cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys. Study surveys are designed based on input from advisor experts, including patients and caregivers, and focus on the social, emotional, physical, financial and decision-making experiences of those who have been diagnosed with cancer and their caregivers. Findings contribute toward enhancing care for patients, survivors and caregivers via programming and policy initiatives.

Microglial Rac1 is essential for experience-dependent brain plasticity and cognitive performance

Project description:Here, we used conditional cell-specific gene targeting in mice with multi-omics approaches, and demonstrated that the RhoGTPase Rac1 was an essential requirement for the microglia to sense and interpret the brain microenvironment, and for crucial microglia-synapse crosstalk driving experience-dependent plasticity. Phosphoproteomics profiling detected a large modulation of RhoGTPase signaling, predominantly of Rac1, in microglia of mice exposed to an environmental enrichment protocol. Ablation of microglial Rac1 affected pathways involved in microglia-synapse communication, disrupted experience-dependent synaptic remodeling, and blocked the gains in learning, memory and sociability induced by environmental enrichment.

Modulation by NPYR underlies experience-dependent, sexually dimorphic learning

Project description:The evolutionary paths taken by each sex within a given species sometimes diverge, resulting in behavioral differences. Given their distinct needs, the mechanism by which each sex learns from a shared experience is still an open question. Here, we reveal sexual dimorphism in learning: C. elegans males do not learn to avoid the pathogenic bacteria PA14 as efficiently and rapidly as hermaphrodites. Notably, neuronal activity following pathogen exposure was dimorphic: hermaphrodites generate robust representations while males, in line with their behavior, exhibit contrasting representations. Transcriptomic and behavioral analysis revealed that the neuropeptide receptor npr-5, an ortholog of the mammalian NPY receptor, regulates male learning by modulating neuronal activity. Furthermore, we show the dependency of the males’ decision-making on their sexual status and demonstrate the pivotal role of npr-5 as a modulator of incoming sensory cues. Taken together, we portray sex-specific plasticity in behavior toward a shared experience by modulating learning.

Consumption experience, choice experience and the endowment effect.

Project description:We report experiments investigating how experience influences the endowment effect. Our experiments feature endowments which are bundles of unfamiliar consumption goods. We examine how a subject's willingness to swap items from their endowment is influenced by prior experiences of tasting the goods in question and by prior experiences of choosing between them. We do not find a statistically significant endowment effect in our baseline treatment and, because of this, we are unable to test for an effect of consumption experience. We do find an endowment effect when the endowment is acquired in two instalments and, in this setting, we find some evidence that choice experience increases trading. In a follow-up experiment, we find evidence that the absence of an endowment effect in our baseline treatment is due to subjects being more willing to swap when they do not have to give up the last unit of their endowment.

The Experience of Novelty and the Novelty of Experience.

Project description:In cognitive psychology novelty is an antecedent of attention, emotion, memory, and behavior. However, the relationship between novelty and experience memorability remains conceptually underdeveloped in tourism. This research applies cognitive appraisal theory (CAT) to explore the contribution of novelty and emotion to memorable tourism experiences (MTEs). Seventy-five novel travel episodes were identified through semi-structured interviews. Analysis focused on the antecedent and consequent conditions of novelty. Novel experiences, whether positive or negative, were identified as critical to experience memorability. Novelty could be segmented into trip-related and event-related dimensions. Novelty contributes to how spatial, temporal, and contextual details of tourism experiences are remembered and reconstructed due to the elicitation of intense emotions. Analysis revealed negative experiences deemed as novel were found to be re-evaluated and often remembered as a positive experience. A conceptual model titled "cognitive appraisal of novelty in memorable tourism experiences" is presented for consideration in future research. By applying a retrospective and prospective approach the conceptual model explores the role of novelty through the process of cognitive appraisal, identifying goals, attention, and prior experiences as central for the experience of novelty. Future research should consider the application of recent advance in CAT to advance inquiry on tourism experiences as a psychological phenomenon.
