Background And Objective: To assess the relationship between reputation of hospitals, as determined by specialists' opinion, and their scientific production.
Material And Method: A questionnaire was sent to a sample of members of the Spanish Societies of Cardiology, Digestive Diseases, Neurology and Otorhinolaryngology. Each member had the possibility to nominate 5 hospitals with the greatest reputation amongst his/her specialty. Final score for those hospitals with more than 5% of all votes was used for the development of a reputation index. We assess the scientific production (number of publications and citations) for nominated hospitals and analyze the possible correlation between the reputation index and the scientific production.
Results: We received 151 (30%) answers for cardiology, 227 (27%) for digestive diseases, 148 (30%) for neurology and 177 (18%) for otorhinolaryngology. The number of published articles and the number of citations for each nominated hospital showed a positive and statistically significant correlation with the reputation index.
Conclusions: This is the first approach to analyze reputation parameters for Spanish hospitals. Scientific production and reputation index showed a positive correlation.

Rice is highly sensitive to cold stress, particularly at the booting stage, which significantly threatens rice production. In this study, we cloned a gene, CTB6, encoding a lipid transfer protein involved in cold tolerance at the booting stage in rice, based on our previous fine-mapped quantitative trait locus (QTL) qCTB10-2. CTB6 is mainly expressed in the tapetum and young microspores of the anther.

An increasing number of patients utilizing in vitro fertilization (IVF) and assisted reproductive technology (ART) are characterized as impaired or poor ovarian responders (PORs). Owing to its unclear molecular etiology, the management of patients with age-related ovarian characteristics remains a controversial and complex clinical concern. Therefore, it is important to identify and understand the etiological causes behind POR to develop more effective and efficient management strategies for these patients.

Neuroinflammation plays a key role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, with microglia regulating this process through pro-inflammatory M1 and anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes. Studies have shown that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) modulate neuroinflammation by secreting anti-inflammatory cytokines. Photobiomodulation (PBM), a non-invasive therapy, has demonstrated significant potential in alleviating neuroinflammation.

The human visual nervous system excels at recognizing and processing external stimuli, essential for various physiological functions. Biomimetic visual systems leverage biological synapse properties to improve memory encoding and perception. Optoelectronic devices mimicking these synapses can enhance wearable electronics, with layered heterojunction materials being ideal materials for optoelectronic synapses due to their tunable properties and biocompatibility.

Phoronida is a small group of marine animals, most of which are characterized by a long larval period and complex metamorphosis. As a result of metamorphosis, their body changes so much that their true anterior and posterior ends are very close to each other, and the intestine becomes long and U-shaped. Using histology and electron microscopy, we have shown that the elongation and change in shape of the digestive tract that occurs during metamorphosis in Phoronopsis harmeri larvae is accompanied by the formation of new parts and changes in ultrastructure.
