Published: August 2006

We report the discovery of two new primates from the late Eocene Krabi Basin, southern Thailand. One isolated upper molar displays morphological features (protocone united with hypocone by the prehypocrista, postprotocrista extended distobuccally) suggesting possible phylogenetic relationships with Amphipithecidae, while an isolated lower molar is tentatively referred to as a new tarsiiform, mainly on the basis of its paraconid and entoconid morphology. Although very scarce, these remains expand the record of Paleogene primates in Southeast Asia, and testify to their successful radiation in that area.

In order to study the pattern of changes in quality of marinated Chinese mitten crabs (Eriocheir sinensis) during cold storage, three aspects of sensory, taste and odor were investigated. Sensory evaluation and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) were measured in viscera and abdomen muscle at 0, 7, 15 and 30 days of storage at 4°C. Sensory scores significantly declined at 15 d, coinciding with TVB-N levels exceeding 25 mg N/100 g.

Introduction: The incidence of mortality late in the pandemic, particularly after widespread vaccine availability, is not well understood. Herein, we elucidate the effect of this impact of the COVID pandemic as well as risk factors for mortality during it.

Methods: The primary end point was death with a functioning graft with secondary endpoints of mortality rates in subgroups and at different time intervals during the pandemic.

Purpose: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a chronic immune-mediated progressive disease, causes dysphagia, food impaction, abdominal pain, vomiting, and heartburn. EoE requires long-term monitoring and can affect quality of life owing to its symptoms and associated emotional and social burden. This study aimed to understand patients' experiences with EoE.

Over the past five years, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing has emerged as a game-changer in cancer research, serving as a less invasive and highly sensitive method to monitor tumor dynamics. CtDNA testing has a wide range of potential applications in breast cancer (BC) management, including diagnosis, monitoring treatment responses, identifying resistance mutations, predicting prognosis, and detecting future relapses. In this review, we focus on the prognostic and predictive value of ctDNA testing for BC in both neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings.

Children's eating habits are established early in life and parents play a major role therein. Pregnancy is a teachable moment for the promotion of healthy eating because many women are concerned about their babies' health and have frequent contact with healthcare providers. We aimed to investigate the association between diet quality during pregnancy and the offspring.
