Dead reckoning of protist viability with propidium monoazide (PMA)-quantitative PCR; a case study using Neoparamoeba perurans.

The ability to distinguish between viable and non-viable protozoan parasites is central to improved human and animal health management. While conceptually simple, methods to differentiate cell viability in situ remain challenging. Amoebic gill disease, caused by Neoparamoeba perurans is a parasitic disease impacting Atlantic salmon aquaculture globally.

Randomized Phase II Study Evaluating the Addition of Pembrolizumab to Radium-223 in Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer.

The checkpoint immunotherapeutic pembrolizumab induces responses in a small minority of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Radium-223 (R223) may increase immunogenicity of bone metastases and increase pembrolizumab (P) activity. In a randomized phase II study, we assessed the effect of R223+P compared with R223 on tumor immune infiltration, safety, and clinical outcomes in patients with mCRPC.

Correlates of Homelessness Among Adults with Personality Disorder.

Although personality disorders (PDs) are more common among persons experiencing homelessness than the general population, few studies have investigated the risk of experiencing homelessness among persons with PDs. This study seeks to identify the demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral health correlates of past-year homelessness among persons with antisocial, borderline, and schizotypal PDs. Nationally representative data of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States was used to identify correlates of homelessness.

Towards more accurate classification of risk of arrest among offenders on community supervision: An application of machine learning versus logistic regression.

Background: Although there is general consensus about the behavioural, clinical and sociodemographic variables that are risk factors for reoffending, optimal statistical modelling of these variables is less clear. Machine learning techniques offer an approach that may provide greater accuracy than traditional methods.

Aim: To compare the performance of advanced machine learning techniques (classification trees and random forests) to logistic regression in classifying correlates of rearrest among adult probationers and parolees in the United States.

Interventions designed to improve financial capability: A systematic review.

Background: There is growing recognition that people need stronger financial capability to avoid and recover from financial difficulties and poverty. Researchers are testing financial capability interventions with adults, children, immigrant populations and other groups, but little is known about the effectiveness of financial capability interventions on financial behaviour and financial outcomes.

Objectives: The purpose of this review is to inform practice and policy by examining and synthesizing evidence of the effects of interventions designed to improve financial capability.

Self-management interventions for reducing challenging behaviors among school-age students: A systematic review.

Background: Challenging classroom behaviors can interfere with student social and academic functioning and may be harmful to everyone in schools. Self-management interventions within schools can address these concerns by helping students develop necessary social, emotional, and behavioral skills. Thus, the current systematic review synthesized and analyzed school-based self-management interventions used to address challenging classroom behaviors.

Parasites and the neuroendocrine control of fish intestinal function: an ancient struggle between pathogens and host.

Most individual fish in wild and farmed populations can be infected with parasites. Fish intestines can harbour protozoans, myxozoans and helminths, which include several species of digeneans, cestodes, nematodes and acanthocephalans. Enteric parasites often induce inflammation of the intestine; the pathogen provokes changes in the host physiology, which will be genetically selected for if they benefit the parasite.

The myosuppressin structure-activity relationship for cardiac contractility and its receptor interactions support the presence of a ligand-directed signaling pathway in heart.

The structural conservation and activity of the myosuppressin cardioinhibitory peptide across species suggests it plays an important role in physiology, yet much remains unknown regarding its signaling. We previously reported Drosophila melanogaster myosuppressin (dromyosuppressin, DMS; TDVDHVFLRF-NH) decreases cardiac contractility through a G protein-coupled receptor, DMS-R2. Our study showed the DMS N-terminus amino acids influence its structure-activity relationship (SAR), yet how they act is not established.

Comparing coordination uranyl(vi) complexes with 2-(1H-imidazo[4,5-b]phenazin-2-yl)phenol and derivatives.

Four derivatives of 2-(1H-imidazo[4,5-b]phenazin-2-yl)phenol have been synthesized and characterized structurally using X-ray crystallography. Coordination complexes with uranyl (UO) and copper (Cu) were prepared and absorption/emission spectra detailed. We observed increased fluorescence upon uranyl binding, in stark contrast to rapid quenching observed with the addition of copper.

Bridging the Chasm between Pregnancy and Health over the Life Course: A National Agenda for Research and Action.

Background: Many pregnant people find no bridge to ongoing specialty or primary care after giving birth, even when clinical and social complications of pregnancy signal need. Black, indigenous, and all other women of color are especially harmed by fragmented care and access disparities, coupled with impacts of racism over the life course and in health care.

Methods: We launched the initiative "Bridging the Chasm between Pregnancy and Health across the Life Course" in 2018, bringing together patients, advocates, providers, researchers, policymakers, and systems innovators to create a National Agenda for Research and Action.

The impact of (Nematoda) on European eel swimbladder: histopathology and relationship between neuroendocrine and immune cells.

The swimbladder functions as a hydrostatic organ in most bony fishes, including the European eel, Anguilla anguilla. Infection by the nematode Anguillicoloides crassus impairs swimbladder function, significantly compromising the success of the eel spawning migration. Swimbladders from 32 yellow eels taken from Lake Trasimeno (Central Italy) were analysed by histopathology- and electron microscopy-based techniques.
