The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Prospective development and validation of an objective classification for difficult facemask ventilation: the MASCAN score

open access: yesAnaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Difficult facemask ventilation is an entity that lacks a robust definition, leading to inconsistent identification in clinical practice and research. The aim of this study was to develop and validate an objective classification and numeric score for difficult facemask ventilation. Methods Four hundred patients who required tracheal

Ultrasound, PET/CT or temporal artery biopsy for giant cell arteritis? A prospective diagnostic accuracy study (the GAME‐study)

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate the diagnostic performance of ultrasound, 2‐deoxy‐2‐[18F]fluoro‐D‐glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (2‐[18F]FDG PET/CT) and temporal artery biopsy (TAB) in giant cell arteritis (GCA). Methods This was a prospective single‐centre diagnostic accuracy study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05248906).

Implications of the Tongue's Anatomy and Biomechanics for Breastfeeding

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The human tongue is a major player for breathing, swallowing, sucking, chewing and speech. Breastfeeding is the initial training for its subsequent tasks. Thus, we aimed to explore the tongue's anatomy and biomechanics with conclusions on breastfeeding, essential for healthy development.
