Body Size and Cancer of the Testis [PDF]
Acta Oncologica, 1990 In the search for possible causes for the enormous increase in testicular cancer incidence in Denmark, we tested the hypothesis that a high fat or calorie intake in adolescence and consequently relative obesity is a promotional factor for testicular cancer. A total of 438 cases and three controls for each case were included in the study.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often exhibit early deficits in muscle and movement competence, which can compromise long‐term health. Integrative neuromuscular training (INT), a multifaceted approach combining fundamental movement activities with strength exercises, may help address these deficits during ...

Effects of climate on size structure and functioning of aquatic food webs [PDF]
, 2010 In aquatic food webs, the role of body size is notoriously strong. It is also well known that temperature has an effect on body size. For instance, Bergmann’s rule states that body size increases from warm to cold climates.

Don't break a leg: Running birds from quail to ostrich prioritise leg safety and economy in uneven terrain [PDF]
, 2009 Cursorial ground birds are paragons of bipedal running that span a 500-fold mass range from quail to ostrich. Here we investigate the task-level control priorities of cursorial birds by analysing how they negotiate single-step obstacles that create a ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background 131I‐metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I‐MIBG) radiotherapy is a key treatment for relapsed and refractory (R/R) neuroblastoma (NB). Patients with R/R disease treated in the modern era are increasingly exposed to anti‐GD2 immunotherapy, which exerts selective pressure and may modify both tumor cell state and microenvironment.

Ingestive behaviour and physiology of the medicinal leech [PDF]
, 1988 Ingestion lasts 25 min in Hirudo medicinalis and is characterized by pharyngeal peristalsis which fills the crop. This peristalsis has an initial rate of 2.4 Hz which decays smoothly to 1.2 Hz at termination of ingestion. During ingestion, the leech body

A numerical finite size scaling approach to many-body localization
, 2007 We develop a numerical technique to study Anderson localization in interacting electronic systems. The ground state of the disordered system is calculated with quantum Monte-Carlo simulations while the localization properties are extracted from the ...

Loss of largest and oldest individuals of the Montpellier snake correlates with recent warming in the southeastern Iberian Peninsula [PDF]
, 2016 The effects of climate change on organisms are now being extensively studied in many different taxa. However, the variation in body size, usually shrinkage in response to increasing temperature, has received little attention regarding to reptiles. During
