Short and Long-Term Soil Moisture Effects of Liana Removal in a Seasonally Moist Tropical Forest. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Lianas (woody vines) are particularly abundant in tropical forests, and their abundance is increasing in the neotropics. Lianas can compete intensely with trees for above- and belowground resources, including water.

Wanted: new allometric equations for large lianas and African lianas [PDF]

Biotropica, 2016
AbstractLiana abundance appears to be increasing, possibly to the detriment of trees, but methods for measuring liana biomass are undependable. We show that five commonly used allometric equations produce disparate results and discuss two large information gaps—Central African lianas and large lianas—that currently preclude accurate liana biomass ...

Association between patient safety culture, adverse events, and essential practices during childbirth in six Brazilian maternity hospitals

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study examines whether hospitals with stronger patient safety culture more consistently follow essential birth practices and have fewer adverse outcomes for mothers and newborns and whether this evidence can guide maternity care priorities in patient safety policy.

Mechanisms and ecological consequences of the over-increase of lianas in forests

Guangxi Zhiwu, 2023
Lianas are one of the components in maintaining forest diversity. The over-increase of lianas in tropical and subtropical forests, especially in secondary forests is threatening the restoration and healthy development of forests.

Discordance of Dopaminergic Dysfunction and Subcortical Atrophy by α‐Synuclein Status in Sporadic and Genetic Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by predominantly neuronal α‐synuclein pathology and dopaminergic dysfunction. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) seeding amplification assays (SAA) detect α‐synuclein aggregates in vivo, but not all patients with PD have a positive SAA.
