Probiotics may improve vaginal microbiota, metabolic disorders and ovarian function-related markers by modulating gut microbiota in POI mice

BMC Microbiology
Background Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a condition identified by the decline in ovarian function before the age of 40. The treatment of POI patients deserves in-depth research. This study aimed to explore the impacts of probiotics on the gut

Performing Papal Supremacy: Niccolò Cieco's Capitoli for Martin V and Eugenius IV

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article analyses two poems performed by the blind oral poet (or canterino) Niccolò Cieco of Arezzo for the first two popes elected after the Great Schism, Martin V and Eugenius IV. It argues that Niccolò's characterisation of the papal office must be understood in relation to both medieval canon law and contemporary ecclesiological ...

Unified Stein‐Type Characterizations of Bivariate Count Distributions With Applications

Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The derivation and application of Stein identities have received considerable research interest, especially for continuous distributions and univariate discrete distributions. In this article, we derive a unified Stein‐type characterization for three bivariate count models, namely the bivariate Poisson, type‐I bivariate binomial, and bivariate

Corrigendum to “A Severi type theorem for surfaces in P6”

In Theorem 0.1 of the paper "A Severi type theorem for surfaces in P-6" [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 149 (2021), pp. 591-605], we claimed to have given a complete classification of smooth surfaces in P-6 with one 4 -secant plane through the general point of P-

Nonparametric Survival Estimation With Contaminated and Adjudicated Events

Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the conditional expert Kaplan–Meier estimator, an extension of the classical Kaplan–Meier estimator designed for time‐to‐event data subject to both right‐censoring and contamination. Such contamination, where observed events may not reflect true outcomes, is common in applied settings, including insurance and credit risk, where expert

Refining Transit‐Oriented Development Assessment: Ecological Conditions as a Critical Supplement

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.
Abstract Existing transit‐oriented development (TOD) assessments rarely examine whether station environments also support everyday ecological functions, including recreation access, thermal moderation, restoration and biodiversity. We developed a Node–Place–Design–Eco (NPDE) diagnosis for 92 Hong Kong railway station areas, combining conventional TOD ...

Modulating the Gut–Ovarian Axis: Mechanistic Rationale and the Limits of Current Evidence for Probiotics in Female Reproductive Aging [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Selected orally administered probiotics and functional‐food interventions may alter gut microbial ecology and intestinal barrier function. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, microbial components, and endocrine signals—including short‐chain fatty acids, bile acids, tryptophan metabolites, and lipopolysaccharide—may influence systemic immune, metabolic, and

Carotid artery dissection linked to intermittent apnoeic swimming: A case–control study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is a rare and potentially devastating cause of cerebral ischaemia, initiated by an intimal tear or rupture of the vasa vasorum, that can lead to an intraluminal thrombus, vascular stenosis, occlusion, or dissecting aneurysm formation.

Searching for the ‘X’ factor: investigating the genetics of primary ovarian insufficiency

Journal of Ovarian Research
Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is the cessation of ovarian function before the age of 40. The causes of POI are heterogeneous, but substantial evidence exists to support a genetic basis of POI, particularly in the critical involvement of genes on ...

Heuristic approaches for a new variant of the team orienteering problem

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 975-1002, March 2027.
Abstract In this paper, we tackle the team orienteering problem (TOP) with service times, mandatory nodes and incompatibilities arising from two real‐world healthcare applications. We propose two heuristic algorithms: a variable neighbourhood descent algorithm and a matheuristic based on a cut separation approach.
