Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extant snakes (Serpentes) are a highly diverse group of squamate reptiles, which have independently evolved key morphological adaptations to consume a large variety of vertebrate and invertebrate prey. While these predator–prey interactions have been widely addressed by several studies, little is known regarding the occurrence of cannibal ...

Alternative Polyadenylation Drives Runaway Pro‐Inflammatory Macrophages in Periodontitis by Enabling Escape From miRNA Repression

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
APA‐Guided Therapeutic miRNA Selection for Periodontitis. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by a dysregulated host immune response, in which macrophage‐mediated inflammation shifts from protective to pathological. While monocyte‐derived macrophages (MDMs) are known to adopt a destructive, M1‐like pro‐inflammatory phenotype,

Incidence, mortality, and management of status epilepticus from 2012 to 2022: An 11‐year nationwide study

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Recent data on status epilepticus (SE) incidence and mortality remain limited, despite the 2015 revision of its definition by the International League Against Epilepsy. The impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic also remains unclear. We assessed trends in SE incidence, mortality, and management from 2012 to 2022 and examined the pandemic's ...

Motives and predictors of modified Atkins diet discontinuation as treatment of adults with drug‐resistant epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to explore the motives and predictors of modified Atkins diet (MAD) discontinuation as a treatment of adults with drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE). Methods A single‐center observational longitudinal study was made of a cohort of patients treated with MAD during the first 6 years at a multidisciplinary ...

Distribution and activity of nitrate and nitrite reductases in the microbiota of the human intestinal tract

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Nitrate from food is first converted to nitrite by oral bacteria and then further processed in the intestine. The gut microbiota reduces nitrate and nitrite to ammonia or nitric oxide, preventing the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines. Our analysis highlights Escherichia coli as a key player in this detoxification process, supported by other ...

Proportionality of Willingness to Pay to Small Risk Changes – The Impact of Attitudinal Factors in Scope Tests [PDF]

open access: yes
Sensitivity (proportionality) of willingness to pay to (small) risk changes is often used as a criterion to test for valid measures of economic preferences. In a contingent valuation (CV) study conducted in Austria in February 2005 1,005 respondents were

New Magnetite Reference Material for SIMS δ18O Measurements and a Study of Precision and Accuracy Due to Crystal Orientation Effects

open access: yesGeostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.
Key Points A new magnetite reference material (PF21mt) is available for δ18O measurements by SIMS. Reproducibility of measurement results in two laboratories suggest orientation bias of ±2‰ (2s) at 20 keV. Repeatability improves to ±1‰ (2s) when using a 13 keV protocol, suggesting reduced orientation bias. In situ isotope ratio measurements provide the
