Neurocognitive, School‐Based, and Quality of Life Outcomes for Youth With Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia: A Scoping Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The medical burdens of sickle cell disease (SCD) and transfusion‐dependent β‐thalassemia (TDT) are chronic and cumulative, even in children. Yet the effects expand beyond medications and healthcare visits due to their impacts on school attendance, academic performance, and peer engagement.

Modelling Evolvability in Genetic Programming [PDF]

, 2016
We develop a tree-based genetic programming system capable of modelling evolvability during evolution through machine learning algorithms, and exploiting those models to increase the efficiency and final fitness. Existing methods of determining evolvability require too much computational time to be effective in any practical sense.

Genetic models of vasopressin deficiency [PDF]

Experimental Physiology, 2000
Animal models of genetic hormone deficiency are useful as models for physiological studies of hormone deficiency and hormone action. Structure—function studies of the specific underlying gene defect may help in understanding mechanisms regulating gene expression and secretion of the peptide product. Spontaneous genetic models of vasopressin deficiency,

Predicting extinction risk of gibbons from genomes of extinct Yunnan lar gibbon

Genome Biology
Background All species of gibbons are endangered, with the Yunnan lar gibbons (Hylobates lar yunnanensis) officially declared extinct in the wild in 2022. While human activities are frequently cited as major factor, the population structure, evolutionary

Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

The effects of runs-of-homozygosity on pig domestication and breeding

BMC Genomics
Background Since their domestication, recent inbreeding together with intensive artificial selection and population bottlenecks have allowed the prevalence of deleterious mutations and the increase of runs-of-homozygosity (ROH) in domestic pigs.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Association Between Individualized Education for Kidney Replacement Therapy Modality Selection and Peritoneal Dialysis Initiation: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.
