A Bayesian Semiparametric Method For Estimating Causal Quantile Effects [PDF]
Standard causal inference characterizes treatment effect through averages, but the counterfactual distributions could be different in not only the central tendency but also spread and shape. To provide a comprehensive evaluation of treatment effects, we focus on estimating quantile treatment effects (QTEs).

The Placenta Regulates Intrauterine Fetal Growth via Exosomal PPARγ
The placenta expresses much higher levels of PPARγ than fetal adipose tissue. Trophoblastic exosomes transport PPARγ into fetal preadipocytes via fetoplacental circulation and thus regulate adipogenic genes distinct from endogenous PPARγ. Compromised placental PPARγ leads to fetal adipogenesis deficiency and intrauterine growth restriction, reversible ...

Eosinophilia in Very Low Birth Weight Infants
Eosinophilia is common in premature infants, though its clinical significance remains unknown. This study investigated the pattern of eosinophilia and related factors in very low birth-weight (VLBW) infants.The medical records of VLBW infants (birth body weight < 1500 g) admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of a tertiary care center of Cheng ...

Pepticombisomes are biomimetic vesicles formed by elastin‐like supercharged unfolded polypeptides (SUPs) uniformly functionalized with anionic surfactants with lipid‐like hydrophobic tails. The molecular design of these supramolecular combs enables precise assembly into membranes with controlled thickness and flexibility.

The Interhospital Transfer Network for Very Low Birth Weight Infants in the United States [PDF]
Very low birth weight (VLBW) infants require specialized care in neonatal intensive care units. In the United States (U.S.), such infants frequently are transferred between hospitals. Although these neonatal transfer networks are important, both economically and for infant morbidity and mortality, the national-level pattern of neonatal transfers is ...

Prenatal dexamethasone exposure (PDE) can induce dysfunction in adrenal steroid synthesis in adult male offspring. This study demonstrate that the mechanism is associated with the upregulation of fetal adrenal cholesterol 27 hydroxylase (CYP27A1)promoter region histone 3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) levels and expression mediated by PDE through the ...
