Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

Probabilistic Lesion Mapping to Optimize Thalamotomy Targets for Focal Hand Dystonia

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Focal hand dystonia (FHD) severely impairs task‐specific motor control, yet the optimal surgical target for stereotactic intervention remains uncertain. This study aimed to identify the precise thalamic lesion site associated with symptomatic improvement and to clarify its network connectivity. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 164 patients

Production of Elastomeric Composites With Different Methods of Incorporating of Graphene Nanoplatelets Into SBR Latex

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study explores scalable methods of incorporating graphene nanoplatelets into SBR latex with or without a surfactant, using either powder or a masterbatch. Results show that combining a masterbatch with the surfactant DTAB improves vulcanization speed, mechanical strength, hardness, thermal conductivity, and resistance to aging.

Ursolic Acid Alleviates Orchitis via Modulating Ferroptosis in Peritubular Myoid Cells of Testis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Ursolic acid modulates key ferroptosis‐related pathways in the peritubular myoid cells of the testis in forest musk deer. ABSTRACT Chronic stress adversely affects reproductive health, increasing susceptibility to pathologies such as orchitis. Additionally, the maintenance of iron homeostasis is essential for preserving the function of the testicles ...

Blood pressure effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists: Mechanisms, trial evidence and Real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.

Lesions Associated With Autism Symptoms Map to a Cerebellar Brain Network in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects 1 in 36 individuals in the United States and is characterized by impaired social communication and restrictive/repetitive behaviors. Individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) have a high incidence of ASD (40%) and exhibit congenital brain lesions (tubers), offering a unique lesion‐based ...
