Mindfulness is a quality of mind that is likely to translate into observable behaviors; thus, individuals may perceive their spouse's tendency to be mindful. Despite this, the link between perceived partner mindfulness and marital outcomes has not yet been explored.

Liver transplantation continues to rapidly evolve, and in 2020, 8906 orthotopic liver transplants were performed in the United States. As a technically complex surgery with multiple vascular anastomoses, stenosis and thrombosis of the venous anastomoses are among the recognized vascular complications. While rare, venous complications may be challenging to manage and can threaten the graft and the patient.

The field of conservation physiology strives to achieve conservation goals by revealing physiological mechanisms that drive population declines in the face of human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC) and has informed many successful conservation actions. However, many studies still struggle to explicitly link individual physiological measures to impacts across the biological hierarchy (to population and ecosystem levels) and instead rely on a 'black box' of assumptions to scale up results for conservation implications. Here, we highlight some examples of studies that were successful in scaling beyond the individual level, including two case studies of well-researched species, and using other studies we highlight challenges and future opportunities to increase the impact of research by scaling up the biological hierarchy.

Article Synopsis
  • Obesity is linked to a higher risk of hypertension, which leads to public health concerns, especially in class 3 obesity cases.
  • A study was conducted on women with class 3 obesity to analyze RNA expression of adiponectin and leptin in their adipose tissue, comparing those with and without hypertension.
  • Results showed that women with higher blood pressure had significantly increased adiponectin mRNA levels in subcutaneous adipose tissue, highlighting a potential relationship between adipokines and hypertension treatment.

Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN) is rare and characterized endoscopically by distal esophageal ulceration, blackening, and necrosis. It typically arises in patients with multiple comorbidities who have significant systemic disease and frailty. Specific precipitating events are variable.
