The evolution of monogamy in humans [PDF]

open access: yesSexually Transmitted Infections, 1999
Sexual behaviours are likely to have evolvedunder strong selective pressures since they aredirectly related to the breeding success of indi-viduals.It is striking that the sexual behaviour ofhumans diVers so markedly from that of thetwo chimpanzee species with which we sharemore than 99% of our genome.

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

A new species of the mud terrapin Pelusios offers insights into early hominin habitats at the Pliocene Hadar Formation of Ethiopia

open access: yesScientific Reports
A novel extinct species of mud terrapin Pelusios awashi sp. nov. is described from the Hadar Formation in Ethiopia. Referred specimens include articulated and isolated specimens from multiple individuals that represent most elements of the shell and a ...

Is there evidence for convergent evolution around human microsatellites?

open access: yes, 2007
A study by Vowles and Amos (2004) identified atypical patterns of base composition around human microsatellites and argued that microsatellites generate mutational biases in their flanking regions.

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Fluorescence in situ hybridization to chromosomes as a tool to understand human and primate genome evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
For the last 15 years molecular cytogenetic techniques have been extensively used to study primate evolution. Molecular probes were helpful to distinguish mammalian chromosomes and chromosome segments on the basis of their DNA content rather than solely ...

Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

Dystrophins DP71 and DP427 determine cell viability during proliferation and myofibre differentiation

open access: yesCell Death and Disease
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. DMD manifests with progressive skeletal muscle wasting, cardiac dysfunction, and cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms.
