Legacy of the Lost and Pressure of the Present: Malagasy Plant Seeds Retain Megafauna Dispersal Signatures but Downsize Under Human Pressure

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2025.
Using structural equation models, we show that Malagasy assemblages with higher human pressure have smaller maximum seed sizes, especially through downsizing of extant frugivores. Furthermore, among assemblages with ‘mega‐seeded’ plants (i.e., seeds that cannot be swallowed by any extant Malagasy frugivore), larger seed sizes are associated with larger

Communication and Psychosocial Functioning in Children With Tourette Syndrome: Parent‐Reported Measures

International Journal of Language &Communication Disorders, Volume 60, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Previous studies indicate that a subset of children with Tourette syndrome (TS) experiences communication difficulties; however, the specific characteristics of these challenges remain underexplored. Aims This study aimed to (1) quantify the proportion of children with TS within a North American cohort exhibiting communication ...

Zinner syndrome: an uncommon cause of painful ejaculation [PDF]

BMJ Case Reports, 2015
Zinner syndrome refers to the triad of ipsilateral renal agenesis, seminal vesicle cysts and ejaculatory duct obstruction. Ipsilateral renal agenesis may be associated with seminal vesicle cysts in 70% of cases, but a remnant ureteral bud has been shown to coexist in only 27% of these cases.

Analysis of Hyperexpanded T Cell Clones in SARS‐CoV‐2 Vaccine‐Associated Liver Injury by Spatial Proteomics and Transcriptomics

Liver International, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccine‐associated liver injury (SVALI) is a rare event and its pathophysiology remains unclear. Previous studies have found an oligoclonal CD8+ T cell infiltrate and SARS‐CoV‐2 spike antigen‐specific T cells in the liver of patients with SVALI. Therefore, we aimed to characterise the immune infiltrate in a liver

All‐Cause Mortality and Suicide Mortality in Patients With Tic Disorder: An Entire Population Longitudinal Study in Taiwan

Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, Volume 55, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Few studies investigate cause‐specific mortality in individuals with tic disorders. We aimed to examine all‐cause, natural‐cause, and unnatural‐cause mortality in individuals with tic disorders. Methods Using the nationwide database of Taiwan from 2003 to 2017, we identified 50,018 patients with tic disorders and, using a ratio of 1:
