Early-life diet composition affects phenotypic variation of correlated animal personality traits.

Behavioural traits are under both genetic and environmental influence during early life stages. Early environmental conditions related to the amount and type of food have been found to alter behaviour in many organisms. However, how early life diet affects the variation in and the correlation between behavioural traits is largely unknown.

Perioperative Myocardial Infarction Following Dabigatran Reversal With Idarucizumab in a Patient Undergoing Orthotopic Liver Transplantation.

Insufficient information is available regarding the administration of anticoagulants, specifically direct oral anticoagulants, in individuals with cirrhosis awaiting liver transplantation. In this report, we present a case of a 66-year-old male with atrial fibrillation treated with dabigatran who received idarucizumab prior to orthotopic liver transplantation. Hemostatic status was monitored throughout the procedure with both conventional hemostatic tests and point-of-care viscoelastic hemostatic assays.

Hierarchical carrier transport simulator for defected nanoparticle solids.

The efficiency of nanoparticle (NP) solar cells has grown impressively in recent years, exceeding 16%. However, the carrier mobility in NP solar cells, and in other optoelectronic applications remains low, thus critically limiting their performance. Therefore, carrier transport in NP solids needs to be better understood to further improve the overall efficiency of NP solar cell technology.

Occupation, occupational exposures and mammographic density in Spanish women.

Introduction: Mammographic density (MD), the proportion of radiologically dense breast tissue, is a strong risk factor for breast cancer. Our objective is to investigate the influence of occupations and occupational exposure to physical, chemical, and microbiological agents on MD in Spanish premenopausal women.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study based on 1362 premenopausal workers, aged 39-50, who attended a gynecological screening in a breast radiodiagnosis unit of Madrid City Council.

Harmonizing semantic annotations for computational models in biology.

Life science researchers use computational models to articulate and test hypotheses about the behavior of biological systems. Semantic annotation is a critical component for enhancing the interoperability and reusability of such models as well as for the integration of the data needed for model parameterization and validation. Encoded as machine-readable links to knowledge resource terms, semantic annotations describe the computational or biological meaning of what models and data represent.

Occupational exposures and mammographic density in Spanish women.

Objectives: The association between occupational exposures and mammographic density (MD), a marker of breast cancer risk, has not been previously explored. Our objective was to investigate the influence of occupational exposure to chemical, physical and microbiological agents on MD in adult women.

Methods: This is a population-based cross-sectional study based on 1476 female workers aged 45-65 years from seven Spanish breast cancer screening programmes.

Occupation and mammographic density: A population-based study (DDM-Occup).

Introduction: High mammographic density is one of the main risk factors for breast cancer. Although several occupations have been associated with breast cancer, there are no previous occupational studies exploring the association with mammographic density. Our objective was to identify occupations associated with high mammographic density in Spanish female workers.
