Article Synopsis
- Scorpions have a long evolutionary history with a complex classification system that has evolved over time, starting from early divisions based on leg structures in 1884.
- Various researchers contributed to the classification, utilizing different morphological features like mesosomal sclerites and tergites to categorize scorpions into distinct groups over the years.
- Currently, there are 43 known extinct families and 24 living families of scorpions, with some of the living families having fossil representatives, indicating a diverse lineage that goes back to the Triassic period.
Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular disease is the top cause of death for dialysis patients, often linked to fluid overload and high blood pressure, suggesting that lower sodium levels in dialysis might help reduce these issues.
- This review aims to assess the pros and cons of using low dialysate sodium concentrations (<138 mM) for patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.
- Out of the 17 studies included, which involved 509 patients, most focused on fixed low sodium concentrations, with data analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this treatment.
Background: There are currently no molecular tests to identify individual breast cancers where radiotherapy (RT) offers no benefit. Profile for the Omission of Local Adjuvant Radiotherapy (POLAR) is a 16-gene molecular signature developed to identify low risk cancers where RT will not further reduce recurrence rates.
Methods: An individual participant data meta-analysis was performed in 623 cases of node-negative ER+/HER2-negative early breast cancer enrolled in three RT randomized trials for whom primary tumor material was available for analysis.
