Best practices and recommendations for accurate nanomechanical characterization of heterogeneous polymer systems with atomic force microscopy

David W. Collinson, Richard J. Sheridan, Marc J. Palmeri, L. Catherine Brinson

Summary: Over the past two decades, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has evolved from an experimental technique for probing simple surface topography to a technology capable of spatially mapping nanoscale material properties with high sensitivity and resolution, especially in extracting nanoscale elastic and viscoelastic data from polymers and other soft materials. However, the lack of clarity on best practices for interpreting nanoscale mechanical data on polymers, along with the presence of multiple phases in samples, poses limitations on the quantitative accuracy of AFM methods and interpretation of mechanical data.

Low-dose morphine reduces tolerance to central hypovolemia in healthy adults without affecting muscle sympathetic outflow

Joseph C. Watso, Luke N. Belval, Frank A. Cimino, Bonnie D. Orth, Joseph M. Hendrix, Mu Huang, Elias Johnson, Josh Foster, Carmen Hinojosa-Laborde, Craig G. Crandall

Summary: In this randomized, crossover, placebo-controlled trial, it was found that tolerance to simulated hemorrhage was lower after low-dose morphine administration. Such reductions in hemorrhagic tolerance were observed without differences in MSNA burst frequency responses between morphine and placebo trials. These data, the first to be obtained in conscious humans, demonstrate that low-dose morphine reduces hemorrhagic tolerance. Thus, morphine is not an ideal analgesic for a hemorrhaging individual in the prehospital setting.

Question Format Matters: Do Athletes Really Know the Signs and Symptoms of a Sport-Related Concussion?

Yuri Hosokawa, Siobhan O'Connor, Chihiro Tashima, Mana Otomo, Ara Schmitt, Erica Beidler

Summary: Authors commonly used a multiselect checklist method to assess athletes' ability to recognize sport-related concussion signs and symptoms, but this may overestimate their knowledge. This study found that athletes with previous exposure to concussion education and a history of diagnosed concussion had a greater understanding of concussion signs and symptoms. Researchers and clinicians should be aware of the difference between recognition and free recall question formats when assessing concussion knowledge and managing athletes with suspected concussion.

Comparing the Effects of Low-Dose Ketamine, Fentanyl, and Morphine on Hemorrhagic Tolerance and Analgesia in Humans

Joseph Charles Watso, Mu Huang, Joseph Maxwell Hendrix, Luke Norman Belval, Gilbert Moralez, Matthew Nathaniel Cramer, Josh Foster, Carmen Hinojosa-Laborde, Craig Gerald Crandall

Summary: Hemorrhage is a major cause of trauma deaths and it is unclear whether analgesics such as fentanyl and morphine reduce hemorrhagic tolerance in humans. Experimental data showed that fentanyl and morphine reduced tolerance to simulated hemorrhage, while ketamine did not. Therefore, morphine should not be used for hemorrhaging individuals in the prehospital setting.
