Demography Predicts Genetic Effective Size in a Desert Stream Fish Community.

AbstractPatterns of genetic diversity and effective size should be predicted by life history traits (intrinsic), landscape properties (extrinsic), and population dynamics. Theoretical models portray complicated relationships among population subdivision, rates of extirpation and recolonization, and metapopulation genetic effective size () but make simplifying assumptions about effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Using previously published data sets, we compared estimates of genetic effective size to demographic time-series data gathered for nine dominant species in a desert stream fish community.

Hypothermia related to continuous renal replacement therapy: incidence and associated factors.

Objective: To evaluate the incidence of hypothermia in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy in the intensive care unit. As secondary objectives, we determined associated factors and compared the occurrence of hypothermia between two modalities of continuous renal replacement therapy.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted with adult patients who were admitted to a clinical-surgical intensive care unit and underwent continuous renal replacement therapy in a high-complexity public university hospital in southern Brazil from April 2017 to July 2018.

Effect of sentinel lymph node biopsy on upper limb function in women with early breast cancer: A systematic review of clinical trials.

Purpose: Axillary surgery is still essential in the management of early breast cancer. Conservative procedures like sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) are less invasive than the traditional axillary node dissection (ALND). However, some extent of ipsilateral upper limb dysfunction might still occur.

Daily life attitudes of women with moderate or severe chronic pelvic pain. A qualitative study.

Objective: How a woman copes with the pain might play a significant role in the management of chronic pelvic pain. This study aimed to understand the attitudes adopted by women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) to deal with daily life problems caused by the illness.

Study Design: We conducted a qualitative study including 58 women diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain regardless of the cause.

Current usage of qualitative research in female pelvic pain: a systematic review.

Purpose: Qualitative research has received growing attention in the multidisciplinary investigation of patients' perceptions about chronic diseases. The purpose of this systematic review was to characterize the usage of qualitative research in women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP).

Methods: We performed a structured search in Web of Science, Pubmed, and EMBASE platforms until June 2019.
