Insights from a year of field deployments inform the conservation of an endangered estuarine fish.

Freshwater fishes are increasingly facing extinction. Some species will require conservation intervention such as habitat restoration and/or population supplementation through mass-release of hatchery fish. In California, USA, a number of conservation strategies are underway to increase abundance of the endangered Delta Smelt (); however, it is unclear how different estuarine conditions influence hatchery fish.

SSSort 2.0: A semi-automated spike detection and sorting system for single sensillum recordings.

Background: Single-sensillum recordings are a valuable tool for sensory research which, by their nature, access extra-cellular signals typically reflecting the combined activity of several co-housed sensory neurons. However, isolating the contribution of an individual neuron through spike-sorting has remained a major challenge due to firing rate-dependent changes in spike shape and the overlap of co-occurring spikes from several neurons. These challenges have so far made it close to impossible to investigate the responses to more complex, mixed odour stimuli.

Breast cancer incidence and mortality, by age, stage and molecular subtypes, by race/ethnicity in Canada.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) characteristics and outcomes in Canada related to race/ethnicity are not currently documented.

Methods: Age-specific and age-standardized BC incidence and mortality rates, age distribution of cases, proportions of stage, and molecular subtypes were calculated for women aged 20+, by race/ethnicity, using 2006 and 2011 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort databases of linked census, cancer, and death data.

Results: In 47 105 BC cases, age-specific incidence rates were higher in Filipina (rate ratio (RR) = 1.

The Landscape of Breast Cancer Molecular and Histologic Subtypes in Canada.

To characterize the histologic and molecular subtype distribution of, and survival from, breast cancer (BC) among Canadian women overall, and by stage and age at diagnosis. Invasive BC cases from the Canadian Cancer Registry for women aged 15-99 years between 2012 and 2017 in Canada, excluding Quebec, were examined using pre-existing mortality linkages. Stage at diagnosis, molecular, and histologic subtypes, and 5-year net survival (NS) by age, subtype, and stage were determined.

Multidisciplinary lifestyle interventions for neurological disorders during the Silent phase (MINDS) study: a multi-omics randomized controlled trial protocol.

Introduction: Given the prevalence and staggering cost of neurological disorders, there is dire need for effective early detection and intervention tools. Emerging evidence suggests that multidisciplinary lifestyle interventions (MLI) may mitigate the risk and progression of neurological disorders. The objectives of this protocol are (1) to test the impact of MLI on the progression of neurological disorders and (2) to identify multi-omic biomarkers for early stages of neurological disease and the impact of MLIs on these biomarkers.
