Article Synopsis
  • The Pre-Pottery Neolithic site of Aşıklı Höyük, occupied roughly 10,300 to 9,300 years ago in Central Anatolia, is associated with the early domestication of sheep, transitioning from residential stabling to open pasturing over time.
  • Genetic analysis of 629 mitochondrial genomes revealed unexpected high genetic diversity during occupation, contradicting the earlier assumption of a domestication bottleneck.
  • A significant demographic bottleneck was instead identified later in the Neolithic, leading to the dominance of a specific mitochondrial haplogroup in southwestern Anatolia that influenced sheep populations in Europe and today’s global sheep diversity.

Background: The relationship between subcutaneous infliximab [SC-IFX] concentrations and favourable therapeutic outcomes in patients with Crohn's disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC] remains elusive.

Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional study included consecutive adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] treated with SC-IFX at a maintenance dose of 120 mg/2 weeks. Investigated therapeutic outcomes included sustained clinical remission; composite clinical and biomarker remission [clinical remission and C-reactive protein <5 mg/L]; biochemical remission [faecal calprotectin <250 µg/g]; and deep remission [clinical, biological, and biochemical remission].

Article Synopsis
  • Nail diseases are often diagnosed late, impacting prognosis and function, partly due to primary care physicians' (PCPs) knowledge gaps.
  • A study evaluated French PCPs' knowledge on nail conditions before and after a 31-minute online training session, involving 10 clinical cases.
  • Results showed improved recognition of the need for dermatologist referrals and reduced inappropriate treatments after training, although gaps in knowledge about amelanotic melanoma persisted.

Cervical cancer is a significant disease affecting women's health in terms of its incidence and is one of the most preventable cancers. However, participation in early cervical cancer-screening programs has been unsatisfactory for various reasons. In this descriptive, relationship-seeking study, we examined the relationship between fatalism tendency, an individual barrier to participation in early cancer screening programs, and women's attitudes toward the early diagnosis of cervical cancer and undergoing the Pap smear test.

Unlabelled: Monitoring of anti-drug antibodies in patients on ustekinumab is not routinely recommended in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) due to low rates of immunogenicity.

Aim Of Study: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between anti-drug antibodies detected by a drug-tolerant assay and loss of response (LOR) to therapy in a cohort of patients with IBD being treated with ustekinumab.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study consecutively enrolled all adult patients with moderate to severe active IBD who had at least 2 years of follow-up after ustekinumab was initiated.
