- Neural computations underlying social risk sensitivityLauharatanahirun, Nina; Christopoulos, George I.; Casas, Brooks (Frontiers, 2012-08-02)Under standard models of expected utility, preferences over stochastic events are assumed to be independent of the source of uncertainty. Thus, in decision-making, an agent should exhibit consistent preferences, regardless of whether the uncertainty derives from the unpredictability of a random process or the unpredictability of a social partner. However, when a social partner is the source of uncertainty, social preferences can influence decisions over and above pure risk attitudes (RA). Here, we compared risk-related hemodynamic activity and individual preferences for two sets of options that differ only in the social or non-social nature of the risk. Risk preferences in social and non-social contexts were systematically related to neural activity during decision and outcome phases of each choice. Individuals who were more risk averse in the social context exhibited decreased risk-related activity in the amygdala during non-social decisions, while individuals who were more risk averse in the non-social context exhibited the opposite pattern. Differential risk preferences were similarly associated with hemodynamic activity in ventral striatum at the outcome of these decisions. These findings suggest that social preferences, including aversion to betrayal or exploitation by social partners, may be associated with variability in the response of these subcortical regions to social risk.

- Biology and Physics Competencies for Pre-Health and Other Life Sciences StudentsHillborn, Robert C.; Friedlander, Michael J. (The American Society for Cell Biology, 2013-02-12)The recent report on the Scientific Foundations for Future Physicians (SFFP) and the revised Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) reframe the preparation for medical school (and other health professional schools) in terms of competencies: what students should know and be able to do with that knowledge, with a strong emphasis on scientific inquiry and research skills. In this article, we will describe the thinking that went into the SFFP report and what it says about scientific and quantitative reasoning, focusing on biology and physics and the overlap between those fields. We then discuss how the SFFP report set the stage for the discussion of the recommendations for the revised MCAT, which will be implemented in 2015, again focusing the discussion on biology and physics. Based on that framework, we discuss the implications for undergraduate biology and physics education if students are to be prepared to demonstrate these competencies.

- Anastomotic Stricture Formation after Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery: A Single Center Retrospective Cohort StudyVanga, Rohini R.; Majithia, Raj; Finelli, Frederick C.; Shope, Timothy R.; Koch, Timothy R. (ACT Publishing, 2013-12-21)AIM: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is used for treating medically-complicated obesity. Gastrojejunal anastomotic stricture is a common complication reported in 3% to 27% of these patients. The pathogenesis of postoperative strictures is not well understood, but ischemia has been hypothesized as a major cause. The aim of this study was to evaluate potential factors that could increase the risk of a post-operative anastomotic stricture. METHODS: The records of 165 patients who had gastric bypass from June 2006 to March 2011 were reviewed. Demographics, co-morbidities, smoking status, surgical approach, medication use, and H. pylori status were noted, as well as a diagnosis of gastrojejunal stricture and/or marginal ulceration. RESULTS: Thirty-four symptomatic patients (21%) developed gastrojejunal stricture, while 26 patients (16%) developed marginal ulceration. The majority were women (89%) with a mean age of 43 years and mean body mass index of 51 kg/m2. Caucasians were at a higher risk for developing a stricture. Proton pump inhibitor use and marginal ulceration were significantly associated with risk of stricture, and there was a strong trend in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Post-operative strictures were successfully treated with an average of two dilation sessions using an endoscopic through-the-scope balloon dilator. CONCLUSION: After gastric bypass, proton pump inhibitor use and marginal ulceration were associated with anastomotic stricture formation. Strictures were more common in Caucasians. A trend towards an increased risk of strictures in patients with sleep apnea was observed, supporting the role of ischemia. Endoscopic balloon dilation relieved symptoms in all patients.
