Article Synopsis
- * Research on Drosophila melanogaster revealed five causes of anaphase chromatin bridges linked to ring chromosomes, with sister chromatid catenation being the most prevalent, often resolving during anaphase through topoisomerase II action.
- * The study also uncovered unexpected phenomena like homolog capture, where the ring chromosome connects to its linear homolog during anaphase, suggesting this may be linked to earlier mitotic pairing processes.
Introduction: Firefighter injuries and fatalities have been attributed to improper or ineffective use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Although studies have examined predictors of PPE to include situational, leadership, stressors and other psychosocial factors, research has not thoroughly examined the relationships between effective safety training administration, knowledge creation, and the influence of those factors on PPE use among firefighters.
Method: This study aimed to assess those relationships by using structural equation modeling analysis.
Ring chromosomes are known in many eukaryotic organisms, including humans. They are typically associated with a variety of maladies, including abnormal development and lethality. Underlying these phenotypes are anaphase chromatin bridges that can lead to chromosome loss, nondisjunction and breakage.

Method: A retrospective medical chart review was performed on 90 patients ( = 48 men; = 59.8 years, = 15.
Background: Numerous cardiometabolic factors may underlie risk of hearing loss. Modifiable risk factors such as non-optimal blood pressure (BP) are of interest.
Purpose: To investigate early auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) in persons with nonoptimal BP.
