The Study

Dr. David Schwebel and his UAB Youth Safety Lab are currently teaming up with Digital Artefacts, a small business who created the virtual environments, where they will work with several Birmingham area schools to train 7 and 8 year-olds to cross streets safely while using their newly-developed virtual reality pedestrian environment.

“Child pedestrian injuries are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity across the United States and the world. One reason children have heightened vulnerability to pedestrian injury is because safe pedestrian behavior requires sophisticated cognitive-perceptual skills. Those skills are still developing among children,” says Dr. Schwebel.

Dr. Schwebel notes that the advantage of using Virtual Reality (VR) is that it offers a unique opportunity for repeated practice without the risk of actual injury.

The research team is preparing to conduct a pragmatic repeated-measures trial evaluating whether 7- and 8-year-old children learn to cross streets safely through training in a newly-developed VR pedestrian environment placed in a community setting. Data will be analyzed using linear mixed models that test behavioral change over time. It is expected that child pedestrians will have fewer virtual crashes and close calls with motor vehicles, will be more attentive to traffic, and will make quicker and more successful pedestrian crossing decisions following training in the VR.

Study: The Smell of Men Stresses Out Lab Mice From www.time.com published April 28

A new study published online in the journal Nature Methods finds that the smell of male researchers causes a stress response in mice and rats equivalent to making them swim for three minutes, while female researchers have no effect. Scientists have long used mice and rats as test subjects before developing clinical trials for humans, but a new study suggests the gender of the researchers can influence rodent behavior in a way that could skew their findings. Researchers at McGill University found that male experimenters cause increased stress levels in lab rodents, while female experimenters do not.

In the presence of men, rats and mice experience a stress response equivalent to swimming for three minutes or being restrained in a tube for 15 minutes.

This is because men secrete many more pheromones, which alert the rodents to the proximity of male animals, than women do. The increased stress makes lab animals of both genders less sensitive to pain, which can influence the results of an experiment.

“Our findings suggest that one major reason for lack of replication of animal studies is the gender of the experimenter — a factor that’s not currently stated in the methods sections of published papers,” Robert Sorge, a psychology professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham who led the study at McGill, said in a statement.

The study marks the first time researchers have directly demonstrated what scientists have long suspected — the rodents’ awareness of the researchers, according to senior author Jeffrey Mogil, who joked that one solution to the discovery was to “fire all the men.”

1. The Research Constraint Induced Movement Therapy has had far reaching success,

not only for stroke and brain damaged patients, but has demonstrated success for injured veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. TBI has become the signature injury of “new veterans” of Afghanistan and Iraq wars. In November 2013, the Department of Defense (DOD) recommended funding of $2.7 million dollars to advance research on the application of CI Therapy to veterans who have been diagnosed with TBI. This project will be known as The BRAVE Initiative.

The mission of The BRAVE Initiative is to improve the quality of life of veterans diagnosed with TBI due to blast injuries. This journey will bring awareness throughout Alabama to the wounded soldiers and a unified front to treat and care for these “new” veterans and their caregivers/families. UAB will partner with the Birmingham VA, the Denver VA, and the Houston , TX VA hospitals. The Lakeshore Foundation in Birmingham will provide housing for all participants and their primary caregivers.

In December 2013, Governor Robert Bentley issued an Executive Order to create the Alabama Executive Veterans Network (ALAVETNET) to study ways to identify existing services and to improve or expand services for Alabama’s active military members, veterans and military families. There are over 400,000 veterans living in Alabama and over 30,000 active military and active reservists who are Alabama Citizens.

On March 18, 2014, Drs. Edward Taub and colleague, Gitendra Uswatte, were introduced to the Commissioner of Military and Veteran’s Affairs, Rear Admiral Clyde Marsh, by State Representative Richard (Dickie) Drake, to provide a briefing on the upcoming project, and the existing services at the UAB Taub Clinic.

On April 14, 2014, First Lady Dianne Bentley expressed support as Dr. Taub introduced The BRAVE Initiative to the “Greater Birmingham Republican Women” organization. President Phyllis Davis announced that the organization has selected The BRAVE Initiative as their 2014 annual “Caring for America” Project.
