Unintentional Weight Loss Does Not Predict Poor Outcomes in Zenker Diverticulum

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In this study of 427 patients with Zenker's diverticulum, 23.6% had significant unintentional preoperative weight loss. Weight loss was associated with preoperative dysphagia and with both the smallest and largest pouches. Postoperative outcomes were similar in patients with and without weight loss, demonstrating a similar efficacy and safety profile ...

Is DNA metabarcoding an option for formaldehyde‐preserved zooplankton time series?

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of amplifiable DNA from formaldehyde‐fixed (FF) zooplankton samples has long been considered problematic, but advances in degraded‐DNA retrieval have renewed interest in FF samples. To access the information stored in long‐term zooplankton time series, we evaluated methods for extracting amplifiable DNA from community samples ...

Allocation of Indivisible Items With a Common Preference Graph: Minimizing Total Dissatisfaction

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allocating indivisible items among a set of agents is a frequently studied discrete optimization problem. In the setting considered in this work, the agents' preferences over the items are assumed to be identical. We consider a very recent measure for the overall quality of an allocation which does not rely on numerical valuations of the items.

Nonstationarity in wildlife disease dynamics: insights from the prairie dog–plague system

Oikos, EarlyView.
Ecological relationships often vary in strength and direction across ecosystems, a pattern that has become increasingly evident as ecology expands to broader spatial and temporal scales. Although such nonstationarity – the changing effect of predictor variables across spatiotemporal contexts – is widely acknowledged in ecological research, it has ...

Hierarchically Rough rGO/HAp Nanocoatings on SLM Ti–6Al–4 V Implants for Enhanced Biointegration

Small, EarlyView.
This study investigates HAp/rGO bioactive coatings on Ti‐6Al‐4V fixation implants fabricated by selective laser melting with systematically varied volumetric energy density to tailor the as‐built surface state. Composite coatings were deposited by electrophoretic deposition and characterized using micro‐CT, profilometry, FESEM/EDS, and detailed XPS to ...
