Inpatient Food Insecurity and Pediatric Hematology Oncology Hospitalization Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children with cancer and blood disorders are at risk for food insecurity (FI). We aimed to describe the association of inpatient food insecurity (IFI) and hospitalization outcomes among patients admitted to the pediatric hematology oncology service. Of 325 caregivers screened for IFI, 60 (18.6%) screened positive.

Exploration of migration directions in different populations of Eothenomys miletus in the Hengduan Mountains of Yunnan Province: a genome-based analysis

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Eothenomys miletus is an endemic species that inhabits the Hengduan Mountain regions (HDR) and serves as one of the primary hosts for plague and hantaviruses. While the physiological characteristics of E.

Adaptive gene expression divergence inferred from population genomics. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2007
Detailed studies of individual genes have shown that gene expression divergence often results from adaptive evolution of regulatory sequence. Genome-wide analyses, however, have yet to unite patterns of gene expression with polymorphism and divergence to

Superparasitism Evolution: Adaptation or Manipulation?

The American Naturalist, 2006
Superparasitism refers to the oviposition behavior of parasitoid females who lay their eggs in an already parasitized host. This often yields intense competition among larvae that are sharing the same host. Why would a female oviposit in such hostile habitat instead of looking for a better quality, unparasitized host?

Defining Roles in Pediatric Palliative Care: Perspectives From Oncology and Palliative Care Teams

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Early integration of pediatric palliative care (PPC) is associated with improved symptom management, quality of life, and healthcare utilization for children with cancer. Despite this, variation persists in how PPC is understood, operationalized, and integrated within pediatric oncology programs. In particular, ambiguity surrounding

Evolution through Adaptation [PDF]

Nature, 1929
DR. BATHER'S interesting survey of “Evolution through Adaptation” in NATURE of Mar. 30 prompts a few supplementary suggestions. There is a tendency in writing upon this subject to think of ‘a variation’ appearing in the soma linder some stimulus which, if maintained for a sufficient number of generations, may produce in the germ a mutation in harmony ...

Insights from the high-altitude animal gut adaptation model: mechanisms of obesity regulation via microbiota-derived metabolite homeostasis and the gut-X axis

Frontiers in Microbiology
The unique environmental conditions at high altitudes drive the gut microbiota of resident animals to develop distinct structural and functional traits, thereby offering an ideal natural model for investigating the synergistic adaptation of hosts and ...

Adaptive evolution and co-evolution of chloroplast genomes in Pteridaceae species occupying different habitats: overlapping residues are always highly mutated

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background The evolution of protein residues depends on the mutation rates of their encoding nucleotides, but it may also be affected by co-evolution with other residues.

Parameter Estimation with Mixed-State Quantum Computation

, 2008
We present a quantum algorithm to estimate parameters at the quantum metrology limit using deterministic quantum computation with one bit. When the interactions occurring in a quantum system are described by a Hamiltonian $H= \theta H_0$, we estimate ...

Genome-wide signatures of convergent evolution in echolocating mammals [PDF]

, 2013
Evolution is typically thought to proceed through divergence of genes, proteins, and ultimately phenotypes(1-3). However, similar traits might also evolve convergently in unrelated taxa due to similar selection pressures(4,5).
