Respectful maternity care and mistreatment: Women's experiences during induction of labor and childbirth in Ghana.

Background: Most studies on respectful maternity care (RMC) and mistreatment of women have focused on intrapartum care with limited information on how women are treated during induction of labor (IOL), pre-labor phase of the maternity care continuum. Emerging multi-country evidence indicates that nearly 30% of women who undergo IOL do not consent to the procedure and constitutes a violation of their rights to optimal maternal health. This study explored women's lived experiences of respectful care and mistreatment during IOL in a tertiary setting in Ghana.

A signaling inspired synthetic toolkit for efficient production of tyrosine phosphorylated proteins.

Tyrosine phosphorylation is an important post-translational modification that regulates many biochemical signaling networks in multicellular organisms. To date, 46,000 tyrosines have been observed in human proteins, but relatively little is known about the function and regulation of most of these sites. A major challenge has been producing recombinant phospho-proteins in order to test the effects of phosphorylation.

Increasing clinicians' suspicion of ATTR amyloidosis using a retrospective algorithm.

Background: This study aimed to increase the index of suspicion for transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) among cardiologists leading to increased screening for amyloidosis.

Methods: A retrospective algorithm was created to identify patients at risk for ATTR. A list of these patients and instructions on how to order amyloidosis testing were given to cardiologists, who then determined if further evaluation was warranted.

Exponential or Unimodal Relationships Between Nighttime Ecosystem Respiration and Temperature at the Eddy Covariance Flux Tower Sites.

Ecosystem respiration is a key flux in the terrestrial carbon cycle and is affected substantially by temperature. This work analysed the time series data of nighttime net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide (NEE) from 196 FLUXNET2015 sites to re-evaluate the relationships between NEE and temperature. A total of 93 sites (48%) were identified to have a unimodal relationship between NEE and temperature.

Brown Adipose Tissue Mimicking Head and Neck Cancer on PET Scan in a Patient on GLP-1 Drug.

To report a case of a patient undergoing GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy in which increased FDG uptake in brown adipose tissue (BAT) mimicked metastatic head and neck cancer on PET/CT imaging. A 61-year-old female with Class III obesity presented with a right-sided neck mass after significant weight loss following the use of the GLP-1 receptor agonist, Semaglutide. PET/CT revealed FDG uptake in the right level II lymph node and extensive BAT uptake throughout the neck and mediastinum, complicating the diagnosis.
