Feasibility of using an automated call service to collect quality of life and functional outcome data in trauma patients by Jan O Jansen, Russell L Griffin, Shannon W Stephens, Emily W Baird, Jonathan A Black, John P Winkler

“…Objectives Following up trauma patients after discharge, to evaluate their subsequent quality of life and functional outcomes, is notoriously difficult, time consuming, and expensive. Automated systems are a conceptually attractive solution. We prospectively assessed the feasibility of using a series of automated phone calls administered by Emmi Patient Engagement to survey trauma patients after discharge.Methods Recruitment into the study was incorporated into the patient discharge process by nursing staff. …”

Gut dysbiosis was inevitable, but tolerance was not: temporal responses of the murine microbiota that maintain its capacity for butyrate production correlate with sustained antinoc... by Izabella Sall, Randi Foxall, Lindsey Felth, Soren Maret, Zachary Rosa, Anirudh Gaur, Jennifer Calawa, Nadia Pavlik, Jennifer L. Whistler, Cheryl A. Whistler

“…Both fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) from donor mice that did not develop tolerance and dietary butyrate supplementation significantly reduced the development of tolerance independently of suppression of systemic inflammation. These findings could inform immediate therapies to extend the analgesic efficacy of opioids.…”
