hu.MAP3.0: Atlas of human protein complexes by integration of > 25,000 proteomic experiments.

Macromolecular protein complexes carry out most functions in the cell including essential functions required for cell survival. Unfortunately, we lack the subunit composition for all human protein complexes. To address this gap we integrated >25,000 mass spectrometry experiments using a machine learning approach to identify > 15,000 human protein complexes.

Identifying Ciliary Proteins in Mammalian Retinas using a Gentle Extraction Method.

Mutations in retinal primary cilia are responsible for human blindness but the mechanisms are not fully understood (Wheway et al., 2014). Characterizing the proteome of an organelle such as cilia, is a fruitful way to understand its function but methods often require considerable sample quantities.

An ex-vivo and in-vitro dynamic simulator for surgical and transcatheter mitral valve interventions.

Purpose: Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) and transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) are complex procedures used to treat mitral valve (MV) pathologies, but with limited training opportunities available. To enable training, a realistic hemodynamic environment is needed. In this work we aimed to develop and validate a simulator that enables investigation of MV pathologies and their repair by MIMVS and TEER in a hemodynamic setting.

Surgical training of minimally invasive mitral valve repair on a patient-specific simulator improves surgical skills.

Objectives: Minimally invasive mitral valve repair (MVR) is considered one of the most challenging operations in cardiac surgery and requires much practice and experience. Simulation-based surgical training might be a method to support the learning process and help to flatten the steep learning curve of novices. The purpose of this study was to show the possible effects on learning of surgical training using a high-fidelity simulator with patient-specific mitral valve replicas.

The Bidirectional Relationship between Gestational Diabetes and Depression in Pregnant Women: A Systematic Search and Review.

This systematic search and review aims to understand the two-way relationship between gestational diabetes and depression. This study assesses gestational diabetes in relation to a history of depression, depression during pregnancy and postpartum depression. Searches were conducted on PubMed and Scopus.

Surgical Rehearsal for Mitral Valve Repair: Personalizing Surgical Simulation by 3D Printing.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to show possible effects of performing the actual procedure of mitral valve repair (MVR) on personalized silicone models 1 day before operation.

Description: Based on preoperative 3-dimensional echocardiography recordings, flexible 3-dimensional replicas of the depicted pathologic mitral valves could be produced and used for a simulation of reconstructive techniques analogous to the upcoming MVR procedure. We integrated this step of personalized surgical planning into the clinical routine of 6 MVR cases with 3 different surgeons.

Signals of forest degradation in the demography of common Asian amphibians.

Background: Lowland areas in tropical East and Southeast Asia have a long history of conversion from forestland to agricultural land, with many remaining forests being chronically degraded by wood cutting, livestock grazing, and burning. Wetland-breeding amphibians that have evolved in lowland forests in the region have adjusted to changes in habitat composition caused by humans' activities, and populations continue to persist. However, we have little understanding of the impacts of forest disturbance on these species beyond assessments of abundance and distribution, and species considered to be common and widespread have been largely neglected.
