Intrinsic and environmental drivers of pairwise cohesion in wild Canis social groups.

Animals within social groups respond to costs and benefits of sociality by adjusting the proportion of time they spend in close proximity to other individuals in the group (cohesion). Variation in cohesion between individuals, in turn, shapes important group-level processes such as subgroup formation and fission-fusion dynamics. Although critical to animal sociality, a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing cohesion remains a gap in our knowledge of cooperative behavior in animals.

Effects of early institutionalization involving psychosocial deprivation on cognitive functioning 60 years later: Findings of the LifeStories project.

Background: Institutionalization involving psychosocial deprivation affects child development negatively. However, there are few longitudinal studies, and no prospective study has yet examined the consequences of institutionalization in late adulthood.

Objective: Investigating effects of psychosocial deprivation on cognitive functioning 60 years later.

Heart and Lung Dose as Predictors of Overall Survival in Patients With Locally Advanced Lung Cancer. A National Multicenter Study.

Introduction: It is an ongoing debate how much lung and heart irradiation impact overall survival (OS) after definitive radiotherapy for lung cancer. This study uses a large national cohort of patients with locally advanced NSCLC to investigate the association between OS and irradiation of lung and heart.

Methods: Treatment plans were acquired from six Danish radiotherapy centers, and patient characteristics were obtained from national registries.

An open source auto-segmentation algorithm for delineating heart and substructures - Development and validation within a multicenter lung cancer cohort.

Background And Purpose: Irradiation of the heart in thoracic cancers raises toxicity concerns. For accurate dose estimation, automated heart and substructure segmentation is potentially useful. In this study, a hybrid automatic segmentation is developed.
