Heat Stress and Placental Abruption: A Space–Time Stratified Case‐Crossover Study

open access: yesBJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To examine whether heat stress, measured by wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT), a comprehensive heat stress index is associated with placental abruption within 7 days. Design A space–time‐stratified case‐crossover design. Setting All 11 regions in Japan during the warm season (June–September) from 2011 to 2020.

Traumatic brain injury graphing: A case study of Charles Whitman

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Research has identified violent behavior (i.e., assault, murder, and suicide) as a possible sequela of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and repeated mild TBI (rmTBI). However, misconceptions about consciousness and its ability to control an injured brain, the diverse spectrum of potential outcomes, and the role genetics ...

Intraspecific variation of thermal tolerance along elevational gradients: the case of a widespread diving beetle (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae)

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
• We explored intraspecific variation of thermal tolerance among populations of a widespread diving beetle across an elevational gradient.• We found no evidence of local adaption of thermal tolerance along the elevational gradient and limited plasticity of thermal limits.• Our results suggest thermal niche conservatism as a result of gene flow or ...

New perspective in fisheries product development: importance of seaweeds as biomass resources [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Brown seaweeds have an important role to preserve coastal ecosystems. Brown seaweeds are also major class for aquacultured seaweeds. They contain valuable nutrients and bioactive components and some of them have not been found in terrestrial plants ...

Winter fruit contribution to the performance of the invasive fruit fly Drosophila suzukii under different thermal regimes

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Highlights: The contribution of winter and early spring‐available fruit (Aucuba japonica, Elaeagnus ×submacrophylla, and Viscum album) to the performance of D. suzukii depended on their P:C ratio and biophysical properties Even though D. suzukii performance was the lowest in A.
