Lifestyle Behaviors and Cardiotoxic Treatment Risks in Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Higher doses of anthracyclines and heart‐relevant radiotherapy increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study assessed CVD and CVD risk factors among adult childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) across cardiotoxic treatment risk groups and examined associations between lifestyle behaviors and treatment risks.

Heterotic hybrid frequency in relation to combining ability and parental genetic divergence in maize
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2018 Being a highly cross pollinated crop, heterotic hybrid development is the immediate cultivar option in maize. The F1’s developed from the heterotic pools not only serve as hybrid cultivar but also helps in isolation of good inbred lines.

A universal mechanism generating clusters of differentiated loci during divergence-with-migration [PDF]
, 2016 Genome-wide patterns of genetic divergence reveal mechanisms of adaptation under gene flow. Empirical data show that divergence is mostly concentrated in narrow genomic regions.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ongoing evidence indicates increased risk of sarcopenic obesity among children and young people (CYP) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), often beginning early in treatment, persisting into survivorship. This review evaluates current literature on body composition in CYP with ALL during and after treatment.

Genetic diversity in wild stocks of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii): implications for aquaculture and conservation [PDF]
, 2003 The giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) is cultured widely around the world but little is known about the levels and patterns of genetic diversity in either wild or cultured stocks.

Environmental variables, habitat discontinuity and life history shaping the genetic structure of Pomatoschistus marmoratus [PDF]
, 2014 Coastal lagoons are semi-isolated ecosystems exposed to wide fluctuations of environmental conditions and showing habitat fragmentation. These features may play an important role in separating species into different populations, even at small spatial

Parent‐to‐Child Information Disclosure in Pediatric Oncology
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Despite professional consensus regarding the importance of open communication with pediatric cancer patients about their disease, actual practice patterns of disclosure are understudied. Extant literature suggests a significant proportion of children are not told about their diagnosis/prognosis, which is purported to negatively ...

Genetic divergence of inbred lines in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) [PDF]
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2012 Genetic divergence of 79 inbred lines of sunflower using eight agronomic characters was studied. Analysis of variance revealedthe existence of divergence among the inbred lines.

High levels of intraspecific genetic divergences revealed for Antarctic springtails: evidence for small-scale isolation during Pleistocene glaciation [PDF]
, 2016 We examined levels of genetic variability within and among populations of three Antarctic springtail species (Arthropoda: Collembola) and tested the hypothesis that genetic divergences occur among glacially-isolated habitats.
