Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies

VIEW, EarlyView.
We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...

Interventional oncology in children: Where are we now?

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
Abstract Paediatric Interventional Oncology (IO) lags behind adult IO due to a scarcity of specific outcome data. The suboptimal way to evolve this field is relying heavily on adult experiences. The distinct tumour types prevalent in children, such as extracranial germ cell tumours, sarcomas, and neuroblastoma, differ strongly from those found in ...

Burrow Persistence and Spatial Distribution of Federally and State‐Protected Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Populations in Southwest Alabama

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a keystone species and ecosystem engineer, has declined by ~80% over the past century due to primarily habitat loss. In a 28‐year resurvey of federally protected Mobile County and state‐protected Baldwin County, we found tortoise populations persisted at ~59% and ~31% of sites, respectively, with significant ...

Migrating to stay or commuting to work? How fairness perceptions and exposure shape attitudes toward labor migration

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Existing literature posits that attitudes toward immigration are shaped by the impact of migrants on native workers' wages and employment, as well as by various other material, cultural, and social concerns. However, empirically disentangling these influences can be challenging.
