Conclusion: The CFA and DIF analysis supported the construct validity of the SRMP and its use in an ethnically diverse breast cancer population. These findings provide further evidence of the generalizability for the SRMP, and support its utilization as a psychometrically valid and reliable screening measure of cancer and treatment-related memory difficulties.

Conclusion: In this nationwide, multicentre, population-based study, soft tissue sarcoma patients living alone had greater risk of having a large tumour at time of diagnosis. Soft tissue and bone sarcoma patients with a short education, low income, or living alone, had a higher mortality. This might indicate that the social differences in mortality might be related to treatment aspects and the biology of the disease rather that the diagnostic process.

Cation‐binding salen nickel catalysts were developed for the enantioselective alkynylation of trifluoromethyl ketones in high yield (up to 99%) and high enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee). The reaction proceeds with substoichiometric quantities of base (10‐20 mol% KOt‐Bu) and open to air. In the case of trifluoromethyl vinyl ketones, excellent chemo‐selectivity was observed, generating 1,2‐addition products exclusively over 1,4‐addition products.

The design of solid‐state reference electrodes without liquid junction is of great importance to allow for miniature and cost‐effective electrochemical sensors in environmental and biomedical applications. To address this, we propose here a pulse control protocol using an Ag/AgI element as reliable solid‐state reference electrode.

Photochemical Carbopyridylation of Alkenes Using N‐Alkenoxypyridinium Salts as Bifunctional Reagents
N‐Alkenoxypyridinium salts have been used as synthons for umpolung enolates for the preparation of α‐functionalized carbonyl compounds. In contrast, we found that the photoreduction of N‐alkenoxypyridinium salts generates α‐carbonyl radicals after cleavage of the N−O bond, allowing the simultaneous incorporation of α‐keto and pyridyl groups across unactivated alkenes. In the process, the formed α‐carbonyl radicals engage unactivated alkenes to afford alkyl radical intermediates poised for subsequent...

Sinonasal inverted papilloma can be resected endoscopically, but has a risk of recurrence. This risk can be minimized by identifying the pedicle of the tumor and ensuring complete resection. Intraoperative bleeding, particularly from the tumor, decreases endoscopic visualization and contributes to failure to identify the tumor pedicle, and piecemeal resection with dissection of the non-tumoral mucosa makes it impossible to distinguish the tumor pedicle. Previously reported transseptal access with...

Publication date: Available online 11 November 2019Source: Behavioural Brain ResearchAuthor(s): Giorgia D’Innocenzo, Alexander V. Nowicky, Daniel T. BishopAbstractAction observation elicits changes in primary motor cortex known as motor resonance, a phenomenon thought to underpin several functions, including our ability to understand and imitate others’ actions. Motor resonance is modulated not only by the observer’s motor expertise, but also their gaze behaviour. The aim of the present study was...

While ecological validity is crucial in investigating such a complex phenomenon, previous paradigms focusing on the cortical analysis of movement-related images used simplified experimental...

Publication date: Available online 12 November 2019Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Regulatory MechanismsAuthor(s): Ching-Sheng Hung, Jung-Chun LinAbstractBrowning of white adipocytes (WAs) (also referred as beige cells) was demonstrated to execute thermogenesis by consuming stored lipids as do brown adipocytes (BAs), and this is highly related to metabolic homeostasis. Alternative splicing (AS) constitutes a pivotal mechanism for defining cellular fates and functional specifications....

Publication date: Available online 11 November 2019Source: Journal of BiomechanicsAuthor(s): Jyoti Kori, PratibhaAbstractIn this paper, we worked on the effective area average concentration and dispersion coefficient associated with the unsteady flow, to understand the dispersion in the fibrosis-affected lung. We assumed that the tube wall (i.e. alveolar or pulmonary capillary wall) is thicker than its normal size due to fibrosis and chemical species may go through linear first-order kinetic reactions,...

Novel pathogens can cause massive declines in populations, but seldom lead to extirpation of hosts. Rather, disease can act as a selective pressure on survivors, driving the evolution of resistance or tolerance. Bat white-nose syndrome (WNS) is a rapidly spreading wildlife disease in North America. The fungus causing the disease invades skin tissues of hibernating bats, resulting in disruption of hibernation behaviour, premature energy depletion, and subsequent death. We use whole-genome sequencing...

Diversity in host resistance often associates with reduced pathogen spread. This may result from ecological and evolutionary processes, likely with feedback between them. Theory and experiments on bacteria-phage interactions have shown that genetic diversity of the bacterial adaptive immune system can limit phage evolution to overcome resistance. Using the CRISPR-Cas bacterial immune system and lytic phage, we engineered a host-pathogen system with a non-overlapping genetic architecture of infectivity....

Transposable elements are mobile DNA sequences that are able to copy themselves within a host's genome. Within insects they often make up a substantial proportion of the genome. While they are the subject of intense research, often times when copy number is estimated it is estimated only at the population level, or in a limited number of individuals within a population. I was interested in whether or not transposable elements accumulate at different rates in different genetic backgrounds, for example...

Evolutionary processes are inherently stochastic, since we can never know with certainty exactly how many descendants an individual will leave, or what the phenotypes of those descendants will be. Despite this, models of pathogen evolution have nearly all been deterministic, treating values such as transmission and virulence as parameters that can be known ahead of time. We present a broadly applicable analytic approach for modeling pathogen evolution in which vital parameters such as transmission...

Two endemic sardines in Lake Tanganyika, Limnothrissa miodon and Stolothrissa tanganicae, are important components of the lake's total annual fishery harvest. These two species along with four endemic Lates species represent the dominant species in Lake Tanganyika's pelagic fish community, in contrast to the complex pelagic communities in nearby Lake Malawi and Victoria. We use reduced representation genomic sequencing methods to gain a better understanding of possible genetic structure among and...

Along with the publication of 137 ancient human genomes retrieved from archaeological remains of the Eurasian steppe, Damgaard et al., 2018 identified two individuals infected with Yersinia pestis, yielding one genome with 0.24x average coverage (DA147, 6th-9th c. AD) and another with 8.7x (DA101, 2nd-3rd c. AD). A phylogenetic analysis performed on the latter placed it in a position ancestral to a 6th-century Justinianic genome from Aschheim, Germany. These results are used to fuel an argument that...

Anthropogenic environmental alterations such as urbanization can threaten native populations as well as create novel environments that allow human pests and pathogens to thrive. As the number and size of urban environments increase globally, it is more important than ever to understand the dispersal dynamics of hosts, vectors and pathogens of zoonotic disease systems. For example, a protozoan parasite and the causative agent of Chagas disease in humans, Trypanosoma cruzi , recently colonized and...

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify if breast reconstruction is a surgical risk factor for axillary web syndrome (AWS) in breast cancer (BC) patients. Methods: The data of 207 patients who have been diagnosed with unilateral BC and who had mastectomy and lymph node dissection were retrospectively reviewed. Information of their clinical and pathological data, whether they had immediate reconstruction and intraoperative radiotherapy, surgical methods, and postoperative complications during...
