Rapid growth in bio-logging-the use of animal-borne electronic tags to document the movements, behaviour, physiology and environments of wildlife-offers opportunities to mitigate biodiversity threats and expand digital natural history archives. Here we present a vision to achieve such benefits by accounting for the heterogeneity inherent to bio-logging data and the concerns of those who collect and use them. First, we can enable data integration through standard vocabularies, transfer protocols and aggregation protocols, and drive their wide adoption.

High-energy nuclear collisions create a quark-gluon plasma, whose initial condition and subsequent expansion vary from event to event, impacting the distribution of the eventwise average transverse momentum [P([p_{T}])]. Disentangling the contributions from fluctuations in the nuclear overlap size (geometrical component) and other sources at a fixed size (intrinsic component) remains a challenge. This problem is addressed by measuring the mean, variance, and skewness of P([p_{T}]) in ^{208}Pb+^{208}Pb and ^{129}Xe+^{129}Xe collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.

Background: The objective was to summarize the methodology used to reach consensus for recommended minimum data elements that should be collected and reported when conducting injury surveillance research in military settings. This paper summarizes the methodology used to develop the international Minimum Data Elements for surveillance and Reporting of Musculoskeletal Injuries in the MILitary (ROMMIL) statement.

Methods: A Delphi methodology was employed to reach consensus for minimum reporting elements.

In recent years, an increasing amount of research has focused on the intricate and complex correlation between bacterial infections and the development of cancer. Some studies even identified specific bacterial species as potential culprits in the initiation of carcinogenesis, which generated a great deal of interest in the creation of innovative therapeutic strategies aimed at addressing both the infection and the subsequent risk of cancer. Among these strategies, there has been a recent emergence of the use of conjugated therapeutic proteins, which represent a highly promising avenue in the field of cancer therapeutics.

Fetal/Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is a significant hematologic disorder arising from maternal immune responses to fetal platelet alloantigens, predominantly Human Platelet Antigen (HPA)-1a. This review first describes the pathogenesis of FNAIT, highlighting the roles of HPA-specific antibodies, particularly HPA-1a, in causing severe thrombocytopenia and intracranial hemorrhage in affected neonates. Current management strategies, including intravenous immunoglobulin and investigational therapies like Nipocalimab, are evaluated for their efficacy and limitations.
