The effect of conflict on damage to medical facilities in Mariupol, Ukraine: A quasi-experimental study.

Medical facilities are civilian objects specially protected by international humanitarian law. Despite the need for systematic documentation of the effects of war on medical facilities for judiciary accountability, current methods for surveilling damage to protected civilian objects during ongoing armed conflict are insufficient. Satellite imagery damage assessment confers significant possibilities for investigating patterns of war.

Evidence of Extensive Home Range Sharing Among Mother-Daughter Bobcat Pairs in the Wildland-Urban Interface of the Tucson Mountains.

Urbanization impacts the structure and viability of wildlife populations. Some habitat generalists, such as bobcats (Lynx rufus), maintain populations at the intersection of wild and urban habitats (wildland urban interface, WUI), but impacts of urbanization on bobcat social structure are not well understood. Although commonly thought to establish exclusive home ranges among females, instances of mother-daughter home range sharing have been documented.

Heterogeneity in Pancreatitis: Recognizing Heterogeneity and Its Role in the Management of Pancreatitis. Summary of a National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases Workshop.

Both the clinical management and study of recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) is complicated by significant heterogeneity in the etiology, mechanisms, symptoms, and complications of pancreatitis. The National Institutes of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease (NIDDK) recently convened a workshop to address current knowledge and knowledge gaps in the field. Preclinical models that better replicate human disease are important for development of new therapies.

Elucidation of Dysregulated Pathways Associated With Hypoxia in Oestrogen Receptor-Negative Breast Cancer.

Purpose: Carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) is a well-established prognostic marker in breast cancer (BC). Nevertheless, this prognostic value is yet to be confirmed in BC subtypes. This study aims to investigate the prognostic effects of CAIX in oestrogen receptor (ER)-negative (ER-) BCs and to establish pathways related to cytoplasmic CAIX expression in ER- and lymph node-negative BCs.
