A first‐trimester mechanistic framework integrating three Physiopathologic biomarker domains for pre‐eclampsia classification

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To develop and internally validate a mechanistic, three‐domain framework for early classification and prediction of pre‐eclampsia (PE) using first‐trimester angiogenic, uteroplacental, and maternal vascular biomarkers. Methods In a prospective cohort of 1925 singleton pregnancies screened at 11 to 13.6 weeks, placental growth factor (

Hierarchically Porous Coatings for Cellulose Fibers by Core–Shell Particle Templating

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Hybrid and functional core–shell particles comprising a silica core and a polymer shell were synthesized and used to develop a coating and etching process applied to a cellulose substrate. This resulted in highly porous, functional coatings on a cellulose membrane for further application in cellulose‐based adsorbers and advanced membrane technology ...

Hunting motivations, behaviour and forest access: Characterising wildlife hunting practices in a multi‐ethnic, forested landscape of Brunei Darussalam, Southeast Asia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Unsustainable hunting practices can alter population dynamics, driving biodiversity declines, which leads to ‘empty forests’. Understanding hunting behaviour, including motivations for hunting and relationships with market drivers, and access to hunting grounds are important to develop affirmative policies to stem biodiversity loss.

Evaluation of Restless Legs syndrome and growing pains in children with familial Mediterranean f

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2018
Growing pains (GP) and restless leg syndrome (RLS) are one of the frequently seen pain syndromes of childhood. These two pain syndromes -GP and RLS- may be confused with exertional leg pain (ELP) of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).

Equilibrium Properties of Quantum Spin Systems with Non-additive Long-Range Interactions

, 2012
We study equilibrium states of quantum spin systems with non-additive long-range interactions by adopting an appropriate scaling of the interaction strength, i.e., the so called Kac prescription.

First‐Trimester Down Syndrome Screening in Renal‐Transplanted Pregnant Women: Blood Creatinine Levels Impact False‐Positive Rate

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Over the past few decades, several thousand pregnancies following kidney transplantation have been monitored but few studies have reported on first‐trimester Down syndrome screening. This study aimed to assess the performance of such screening and its relationship with renal function.

The potential of seedbank digital information in plant conservation

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Seedbanks are vital for biodiversity conservation, but their potential remains underutilised due to a limited understanding of the intraspecific genetic diversity they hold. By leveraging digitised data associated with seedbank collections, such as sampling locations, number of maternal plants and seed traits, we can attempt the estimation of genetic ...

Efficacy and safety of anti-interleukin-6 treatment in familial Mediterranean fever: a systematic literature review

Rheumatology
Introduction Biological treatments are indicated in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) patients with colchicine resistance or intolerance. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) inhibitors may not yield sufficient efficacy and safety. Interleukin-6 inhibitors (tocilizumab
