The Sublingua of and : Only a Cleaning Function?

The sublingua is an anatomical structure located under the tongue. This rare organ can be present in some animals as a rudimentary structure, but among prosimian primates, such as lemurs and lorises, it is fully developed. In addition to the sublingua, prosimians have modified lower incisors and canines called "dental comb".

A haplotype-resolved chromosome-level genome assembly of Urochloa decumbens cv. Basilisk resolves its allopolyploid ancestry and composition.

Haplotyped-resolved phased assemblies aim to capture the full allelic diversity in heterozygous and polyploid species to enable accurate genetic analyses. However, building non-collapsed references still presents a challenge. Here, we used long-range interaction Hi-C reads (high-throughput chromatin conformation capture) and HiFi PacBio reads to assemble the genome of the apomictic cultivar Basilisks from Urochloa decumbens (2n = 4x = 36), an outcrossed tetraploid Paniceae grass widely cropped to feed livestock in the tropics.

A Proposed mHealth Intervention to Address Patient Barriers to Colposcopy Attendance: Qualitative Interview Study of Clinic Staff and Patient Perspectives.

Background: Cervical cancer disparities persist among minoritized women due to infrequent screening and poor follow-up. Structural and psychosocial barriers to following up with colposcopy are problematic for minoritized women. Evidence-based interventions using patient navigation and tailored telephone counseling, including the Tailored Communication for Cervical Cancer Risk (TC3), have modestly improved colposcopy attendance.

[Indexing to Body Surface Area Diminishes GFR Estimation and Increases Chronic Kidney Disease Staging in Overweight and Obese Population].

Unlabelled: Glomerular filtration rate estimates are usually indexed to a standard body surface area (BSA) of 1.73 m2. This allows comparing values of individuals of different sizes but has the potential of affecting individuals with extremes BSA.
