Fluctuating asymmetry in Alpine chamois horns: an indicator of environmental stress

Abstract Developmental stability of an individual is often evaluated by means of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in bilaterally paired morphological characters. Even though FA has been widely investigated in ungulates, its connection with the condition of individuals and their environment is still debated. In this study we investigated factors contributing to FA in horn length in the sexually monomorphic Alpine chamois. We measured right and left horn length of 1682 Alpine chamois...

PrEP can prevent HIV infection in teens—so why aren’t they using it?  

Access to PrEP and the stigma that surrounds it has created significant barriers for nearly every group that needs the drug, including teenagers. (Pexels/)Adolescence, that hard-to-forget period of life between age 13 and 19, is a time of exploration and development. For many teens, it’s a time where they begin the process of figuring out their sexuality and sexual identity. That process, like all exploration, comes with some risk, but it’s made far riskier by lack of access to appropriate resources....

Wearable Device to Prevent Sudden Death from Epilepsy

A spin-off of Purdue University is developing a wearable band to prevent sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). The fatal condition is poorly understood, but preventing seizures and mitigating any seizures that do develop may help to save the lives of those living with epilepsy. Neurava, a firm founded by two grad students at Purdue University, hopes its patented technology can detect relevant biosignals of patients and notify clinicians, family, or caregivers about potential danger. ...

Differential Cetacea Circadian Rhythmicity is associated with the molecular erosion of Cortistatin [NEW RESULTS]

The ancestors of Cetacea underwent profound morpho-physiological alterations. By displaying an exclusive aquatic existence, cetaceans evolved unique patterns of locomotor activity, vigilant behaviour, thermoregulation and circadian rhythmicity. Deciphering the molecular landscape governing many of these adaptations is key to understand the evolution of phenotypes. Here, we investigate Cortistatin (CORT), a neuropeptide displaying an important role mammalian biorhythm regulation. This neuropeptide...

Alternative splicing and gene expression play contrasting roles in the parallel phenotypic evolution of a salmonid fish [NEW RESULTS]

Understanding the contribution of different molecular processes to the evolution and development of divergent phenotypes is crucial for identifying the molecular routes of rapid adaptation. Here, we used RNA-seq data to compare patterns of alternative splicing and differential gene expression in a case of parallel adaptive evolution, the replicated postglacial divergence of the salmonid fish Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) into benthic and pelagic ecotypes across multiple independent lakes. We...

Evaluation of Respiratory Muscle Strength and Diaphragm Ultrasound: Normative Values, Theoretical Considerations, and Practical Recommendations

Background: Reference values derived from existing diaphragm ultrasound protocols are inconsistent, and the association between sonographic measures of diaphragm function and volitional tests of respiratory muscle strength is still ambiguous. Objective: To propose a standardized and comprehensive protocol for diaphragm ultrasound in order to determine lower limits of normal (LLN) for both diaphragm excursion and thickness in healthy subjects and to explore the association between volitional tests...

The pathologist and “short-term rector” Albert Dietrich (1873–1961) and his ambivalent relationship with the Nazi regime

Abstract Throughout his professional life, the pathologist Albert Dietrich devoted himself to researching and combating cancer. Due to his considerable reputation and success, he was one of the first doctors to be awarded the Paracelsus Medal for his scientific services in 1952. However, Dietrich’s role in the Third Reich was – and still is – far less defined. In May 1933, he became rector of the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen, which at that time was...

Η μελέτη περιελάμβανε 14 έρευνες, πολλές από τις οποίες είχαν διαπιστώσει σχέση μεταξύ της χρήσης αντικαταθλιπτικών στην εγκυμοσύνη και του αυτισμού, τις οποίες ο καθηγητής έλεγξε...
