Two species of Haploembia Ramburi (Oligotomidae: Embioptera), nonnative detritivores found in the western USA, display solitary tendencies, not typical for webspinners that usually share silk galleries. Reports from the 1960s based on native populations in Italy highlighted the impact of a gregarine that depressed male sterility and female survivorship in Haploembia solieri (Rambur). Sympatric asexual Haploembia tarsalis (Ross) lives a normal lifespan when parasitized, albeit suffering from reduced fecundity.

- - Patients with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) show better left atrial (LA) health, evidenced by lower LA volume, higher voltage, and fewer low-voltage zones (LVZs) compared to those without TIC.
- - In a study of 139 persistent atrial fibrillation patients undergoing catheter ablation, those with TIC had less atrial remodeling and a 36-month follow-up showed no significant difference in the rate of atrial tachyarrhythmia (AT) recurrence between TIC and non-TIC groups.
- - Overall, the findings suggest TIC patients have similar, if not improved, outcomes following ablation procedures, despite possessing a less remodeled atrial substrate.
Article Synopsis
- This study explores how a visualization system can transmit real-time patient data from ambulances to emergency trauma rooms (ETR) to enhance timely medical interventions before and after a patient arrives.
- Researchers conducted in-depth interviews with 32 physicians from six hospitals in Germany and Switzerland to gather insights on a prototype system designed for this purpose.
- The findings indicate that real-time data can improve workflow in ETRs, with physicians emphasizing the need for adaptable and mobile interfaces that display critical information relevant to patient care, suggesting future research should assess the system's practical application in clinical settings.
Uncovering the relationships between neural circuits, behavior, and neural dysfunction may require rodent pose tracking. While open-source toolkits such as DeepLabCut have revolutionized markerless pose estimation using deep neural networks, the training process still requires human intervention for annotating key points of interest in video data. To further reduce human labor for neural network training, we developed a method that automatically generates annotated image datasets of rodent paw placement in a laboratory setting.

Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) represents an emerging angiography-based tool for functional lesion assessment. The present study investigated the prognostic impact of QFR-consistent complete revascularization in patients with myocardial infarction and multivessel disease.
