While increased DNA damage is a well-described feature of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), it is unclear whether all lineages and all regions of the marrow are homogeneously affected. In this study, we performed immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded whole-section bone marrow biopsies using a well-established antibody to detect pH2A.X (phosphorylated histone variant H2A.

Though many adaptations in service delivery were reported throughout the literature, a wide variety of terminology and definitions were used.
Methods: To address this, we conducted a PRISMA review to identify service delivery adaptations across behavioral healthcare services in the United States from March 2020 to May 2022 and to identify variations in terminology used to describe these adaptations.
Selective autophagy is a conserved subcellular process that maintains the health of eukaryotic cells by targeting damaged or toxic cytoplasmic components to the vacuole/lysosome for degradation. A key player in the initiation of selective autophagy in (baker's yeast) is a large adapter protein called Atg11. Atg11 has multiple predicted coiled-coil domains and intrinsically disordered regions, is known to dimerize, and binds and organizes other essential components of the autophagosome formation machinery, including Atg1 and Atg9.

This is because of the ability of mangroves to mitigate storm surges and floods as well as their high carbon sequestration and storage capacity. However, there are few detailed studies on the spatial variation in mangrove structure and carbon stocks in Fiji, and this information is essential to support decision making by government and communities, enabling the development of effective mitigation and adaptation responses.

January 2021
Objective: The aim of the study was to describe the provision of a "landmark" article reading list to trainees by their Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) fellowship programs.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a web-based survey was sent to program coordinators of accredited FPMRS programs. Available reading lists were collected, and a master list compiled.
Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective of this study was to utilize objective citation analyses to describe the 100 most cited articles in the field of Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) and to review their characteristics.
Methods: We searched the Thomas Reuters Web of Science database for the most cited articles within all journals classified as Obstetrics and Gynecology (Ob/Gyn), Urology (Uro), Colorectal Surgery (CRS), and vital General Medicine (GM) journals (New England Journal of Medicine; Journal of the American Medical Association; Lancet; The BMJ). We reviewed search results for FPMRS content and compiled a list of the top 100 most cited articles relevant to FPMRS.
