Role of Serum Brain‐Derived Neurotrophic Factor as a Biomarker of Chronic Pain in Older Adults

European Journal of Pain, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Serum brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has emerged as a promising biomarker for chronic pain (CP) research and treatment. Yet, most human studies have been limited by small sample sizes, inadequate control of confounders and a lack of focus on sex and mental health differences.

Dermatological emergencies and determinants of hospitalization in Switzerland: A retrospective study

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 1001-1010, May 2025.
Abstract Background Dermatologic conditions are estimated to account worldwide for approximately 8% of all visits at emergency departments (EDs). Although rarely life‐threatening, several dermatologic emergencies may have a high morbidity. Little is known about ED consultations of patients with dermatological emergencies and their subsequent hospital ...

Cardiac muscle contracts more efficiently at lower contraction frequencies

Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 4, Page 561-573, 1 April 2025.
Abstract This study investigated how contraction frequency impacts the mechano‐energetics of cardiac muscle performing mechanical work. Left‐ventricular trabeculae were isolated from rat hearts and mounted in our work‐loop calorimeter to assess their function at physiological temperature (37°C) across three stimulation frequencies, 2 Hz, 3.5 Hz and 5 ...

Mapping of Phytophthora sojae resistance in soybean genotypes PI 399079 and PI 408132

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Numerous novel sources of resistance to Phytophthora sojae, which causes Phytophthora root and stem rot of soybean (Glycine max, [L.] Merr), have been identified, but not all loci have been mapped and few have been cloned. Two plant introductions (PIs), PI 399079 and PI 408132, were identified as sources of Rps‐gene mediated resistance through

Supplementing risk adjustment with high‐risk pooling using historical data for identifying the high risks

Journal of Risk and Insurance, Volume 92, Issue 1, Page 166-202, March 2025.
Abstract Many regulated health insurance markets with community‐rated premiums rely on risk adjustment (RA) to mitigate insurer‐incentives to risk select. However, insurers remain typically undercompensated for chronically ill enrollees. We use historical data on health spending and risk adjuster information to identify individuals undercompensated by ...

Determinants of Product Outcome in Two Sesquiterpene Synthases from the Thermotolerant Bacterium Rubrobacter radiotolerans

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2, 2025.
Nerolidol synthase (NerS) and trans‐α‐bergamotene synthase (BerS) from the thermotolerant bacterium Rubrobacter radiotolerans were characterised using a combined computational and experimental approach. An isomerisation step early in the reaction cascade was found to be a key determinant of product outcome, and NerS was found to possess catalytic ...

Differential Responses of Methylobacterium and Sphingomonas Species to Multispecies Interactions in the Phyllosphere

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2025.
Leaf‐associated bacterial populations of Methylobacterium and Sphingomonas in two‐ and three‐member synthetic communities on Arabidopsis thaliana display distinct spatial structures and population dynamics influenced by higher‐order interactions. Methylobacterium exhibited greater sensitivity to multispecies interactions compared to Sphingomonas. These

Store‐and‐Forward Tele‐Dermatology Pilot Study in Belgium: Patients and Physicians Satisfaction Study With Process Evaluation

International Journal of Clinical Practice, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background. The use of telemedicine in dermatology is becoming more popular in Belgium and other countries as a result of increasing waiting lists. The objective of this study was to analyze if tele‐dermatology is a valuable alternative for in‐person consultations with the dermatologist and to get insight into the content of the remote consultations ...

Boreal Summer Extratropical Intraseasonal Oscillation Prediction in Current Subseasonal‐To‐Seasonal Operational Models Over Eurasia

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 129, Issue 22, 28 November 2024.
Abstract Extratropical intraseasonal oscillations (EISO), which is akin to the tropical ISO, significantly influence mid‐high‐latitude intraseasonal variability. Previous studies have shown that biases in the dynamical prediction of EISOs reduce the accuracy of subseasonal forecasts for extreme events, particularly in extratropical regions.

Mediating factors and spillover effects of foreign direct investment : Evidence from Indian manufacturing firms

Heliyon
The present study examines the extent and direction of horizontal, backward and forward spillover effects of FDIs on firms' productivity. It also shows how the mediating factors (firm's age, export and import intensity, R&D and advertisement intensity ...
