‘Sawa Aqwa’ (Stronger Together): A multi‐site randomized controlled trial of a brief family systemic intervention for adolescent mental health in Lebanon

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background There are no evaluated family‐based mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions for adolescents in Southwest Asia (known as the Middle East), and few whole‐family interventions in low‐ and middle‐income countries, despite consistent evidence for the impact of family support on mental health and well‐being. This study aims to

Granulocyte colony stimulating factor induces lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sensitization via upregulation of LPS binding protein in rat.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Liver is the main organ for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) clearance. Sensitization to LPS is associated with the upregulation of LPS-binding protein (LBP) in animal models.

Cryptic diversity and recent diversification in the Pyrrhulina australis species complex (Characiformes, Lebiasinidae) revealed by mitochondrial DNA

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pyrrhulina australis Eigenmann & Kennedy, 1903, is widely distributed across the main hydrographic basins of South America. The taxonomic integrity of this species is nevertheless challenged by the lack of clear diagnostic characters, its marked geographic variation and the morphological overlap with its congeners. In this context, the present

Periodontitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis—Mechanistic Evidence

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis are linked via the two‐hit model whereby early periodontal inflammation can lead to autoantibody production capable of interacting with inflamed synovial tissues. Subsequent systemic inflammation can exacerbate the periodontal inflammatory response and bacterial dysbiosis leading to further autoantibody production

Water Released From Vessel Embolism May Temporarily Halt Further Embolism in Tropical Dipterocarp Trees

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The formation of air bubbles in the xylem, known as embolism, reduces hydraulic conductivity and can ultimately lead to catastrophic failure of a tree's water transport system. When a vessel embolises, it releases water into the surrounding xylem tissue.

Intestinal epithelial injury and inflammation after physical work in temperate and hot environments in older men with hypertension or type 2 diabetes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We tested whether older adults with well‐controlled type 2 diabetes or hypertension, compared with age‐matched adults without chronic disease, exhibit greater intestinal damage, microbial translocation and inflammation during exertional heat stress.

Prebiotic Bimuno® GOS reduces illness symptoms and supports gut barrier function and immunity after intermittent exercise in the heat

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise in hot climates increases the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) disruption and respiratory illness. We investigated the effects of a 42 day prebiotic intervention on markers of intestinal epithelial injury, GI discomfort and immunity following football specific exercise in the heat and daily upper respiratory illness.
