Article Synopsis
- Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) are valuable tools in ecology for tracing energy flows in food webs, particularly in underexplored ecosystems like anchialine caves.
- Sampling at Cenote Vaca Ha in Mexico revealed insights into the nutrient sources for seven endemic stygobitic species, highlighting that isotopic patterns are consistent over time despite some variation.
- The study identified shrimp Typhlatya pearsei as a crucial species linking chemosynthetic microbial production to the anchialine food web, indicating a stable ecosystem reliant on bacterial sources for energy.
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the level of health literacy, digital healthy diet literacy, and physical activity of adult individuals to evaluate the relationship of physical activity with health literacy and digital healthy diet literacy and to examine the determinants of physical activity level.
Design And Method: It is a descriptive and correlational study. The sample of the study consists of 404 individuals aged 18-65.
Introduction: 2022 was a landmark year with two adeno-associated viral vectors (AAVs) receiving conditional marketing authorization from EMA for the treatment of persons with severe haemophilia A and severe to moderately severe haemophilia B and a third in 2024. Gene therapy is a transformative, irreversible treatment with long-lasting effects, necessitating development of new clinical pathways to ensure optimal outcomes.
Aim: To develop a consensus framework and service specification for delivery of AAV gene therapy for haemophilia in adults within the UK using the hub-and-spoke model proposed by the European Association of Haemophilia and Allied Disorders and the European Haemophilia Consortium.
Article Synopsis
- Type 1 diabetes (T1D) management can be tough for young adults transitioning from pediatric to adult healthcare, as they face both health care challenges and typical life changes.
- * The DiaBetter Together study aims to assess a 12-month intervention where Peer Mentors guide young adults (ages 17-25) through this transition, focusing on healthcare navigation and self-management skills.
- * The trial measures primary outcomes like HbA1c levels and secondary outcomes such as the time taken to switch to adult care and overall psychosocial well-being.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how different sexual positions impact ejaculation duration and the overall control of ejaculation, which is important for sexual pleasure.
- Conducted through an online survey with 1904 heterosexual men aged 18-65, it looked at factors related to premature ejaculation (PE) and how these men engage in various sexual positions.
- Results indicated a significant preference for doggy style across all groups, with non-PE participants more likely to change positions when close to ejaculation compared to PE participants, suggesting that adjusting sexual positions may help manage PE.
