Polyploidy: an evolutionary and ecological force in stressful times [PDF]
Abstract Polyploidy has been hypothesized to be both an evolutionary dead-end and a source for evolutionary innovation and species diversification. Although polyploid organisms, especially plants, abound, the apparent nonrandom long-term establishment of genome duplications suggests a link with environmental conditions.

The Molecular Clock and Neurodegenerative Disease: A Stressful Time [PDF]
Circadian rhythm dysfunction occurs in both common and rare neurodegenerative diseases. This dysfunction manifests as sleep cycle mistiming, alterations in body temperature rhythms, and an increase in symptomatology during the early evening hours known as Sundown Syndrome.

Rhythmic constraints on English stress timing [PDF]
The evidence for isochrony of stress timing is weak for ordinary prose, but this does not mean that the timing of stresses is always unaffected by global constraints. We asked subjects to continually repeat the phrase "Take a pack of cards" and to temporally align the words "take" and "cards" with an auditorily presented stimulus consisting of just the

Stress, time use and gender [PDF]
This paper studies the gender aspect of stress within a Scandinavian welfare state regime with high employment rates for both women and men. By applying an economic model, an extended model and a stress-level model, we find that higher incomes lead to stress among women, somewhat confirming findings for Australia, Germany, Canada, Korea, and the US ...

Learning During Stressful Times [PDF]
Stressful life events can have profound effects on our cognitive and motor abilities, from those that could be construed as adaptive to those not so. In this review, I discuss the general notion that acute stressful experience necessarily impairs our abilities to learn and remember.

Macropolycytes: Severe stress time for neutrophils
Macropolycytes are giant neutrophils found in a variety of benign and neoplastic conditions. Since megaloblastic anaemia is one of the recognised causes of macropolycytes, other blood film features of megaloblastic anaemia should be sought when they harbor hypersegmented nuclei.

Italian in the no-man's land between stress-timing and syllable-timing? speakers are more stress-timed than listeners [PDF]
How syllable-timed is Italian? We investigate two contexts for vowel reduction, unstressed syllables and syllables in polysyllabic words. In a production experiment, a large sample of speakers from Tuscany read di- and trisyllabic target words with different stress placement in a sentence context. Results showed vowel reduction in unstressed syllables,

ABSTRACT Background Cerebellar ataxia after pediatric brain tumor treatment can cause persistent gait, balance, and speech impairment, yet no established rehabilitation strategy exists. Somato‐cognitive coordination therapy (SCCT) is a virtual reality–guided intervention designed to promote sensorimotor integration through visually constrained reaching

ABSTRACT Introduction The use of herbal medical preparation (HMP) is rising among pediatric oncology patients, often to manage treatment‐related symptoms. Their effectiveness remains uncertain, and the risk of herb–drug interactions is underestimated.
