Climate change effect on the widely distributed Palearctic plant bug species (Insecta: Heteroptera: Miridae).

Insects are poikilothermic organisms and temperature increase usually accelerates their development rates, population and distribution area growth. Therefore, it is assumed that global warming can be beneficial for the pests and other widespread species at least in the relatively cool temperate zones. However, climate change's effect on the widespread species in the Palearctic remains poorly studied.

Association between depression symptom severity and total cost of care: Findings from a large, 2-year, claims-based, retrospective population health study.

Background: Despite the substantial impact of depression on individuals and healthcare utilization, little is known about the specific relationship between depression severity and total cost of care (TCC). This study evaluates the association between depression symptom severity and TCC and how changes in severity affect TCC.

Methods: The analysis was conducted using insurance claims data and data from electronic health records between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2020.

AI vs academia: Experimental study on AI text detectors' accuracy in behavioral health academic writing.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) language models continue to expand in both access and capability. As these models have evolved, the number of academic journals in medicine and healthcare which have explored policies regarding AI-generated text has increased. The implementation of such policies requires accurate AI detection tools.

A facile synthesis of precursor for the σ-1 receptor PET radioligand [ F]FTC-146 and its radiofluorination.

The σ-1 receptor is a non-opioid transmembrane protein involved in various human pathologies including neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation, and cancer. The previously published ligand [ F]FTC-146 is among the most promising tools for σ-1 molecular imaging by positron emission tomography (PET), with a potential for application in clinical diagnostics and research. However, the published six- or four-step synthesis of the tosyl ester precursor for its radiosynthesis is complicated and time-consuming.

First Clinical Case of Ilizarov Femur Lengthening over a Bioactive and Degradable Intramedullary Implant.

Introduction: The Ilizarov distraction osteogenesis is a recognized method of limb lengthening in orthopaedic practice. Its most challenging problems are long duration of external fixation and related pin-tract infection and joint contractures. The solution might be the use of a bioactive degradable intramedullary implant stimulating bone healing.
