Measuring Speech Discrimination Ability in Sleeping Infants Using fNIRS-A Proof of Principle.
Trends Hear
January 2025
Bionics Institute, East Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
This study used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure aspects of the speech discrimination ability of sleeping infants. We examined the morphology of the fNIRS response to three different speech contrasts, namely "Tea/Ba," "Bee/Ba," and "Ga/Ba." Sixteen infants aged between 3 and 13 months old were included in this study and their fNIRS data were recorded during natural sleep.

Advancements in vaccine technology are increasingly focused on leveraging the unique properties of both pathogenic and commensal bacteria. This revolutionary approach harnesses the diverse immune modulatory mechanisms and bacterial biology inherent in different bacterial species enhancing vaccine efficacy and safety. Pathogenic bacteria, known for their ability to induce robust immune responses, are being studied for their potential to be engineered into safe, attenuated vectors that can target specific diseases with high precision.

Department of Neurology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: Previous observational studies have shown that Hypothyroidism is associated with Von Willebrand Disease (VWD), but the causal relationship has not been confirmed because of conflicting findings and confounding by mixing factors. There are also some studies suggesting that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) may be one of the potential mediators. In this study, we used a Mendelian randomization study to analyze the causal relationship between Hypothyroidism and VWD and to investigate whether polyunsaturated fatty acids mediate the effects of Hypothyroidism on VWD.

School of Psychology, Massey University, Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Objectives: To showcase a novel, theoretically informed methodology for conducting scoping reviews by operationalising critical theory. And to advance the field of women's digital health by applying this critical scoping review methodology (CSR) to research on menstrual tracking apps (MTAs).
Methods And Measures: 116 articles published in English, between November 2015 and November 2023, focusing on MTAs, and/or user's experiences of MTAs, were thematically analysed through the Foucauldian concept of problematisation and analytics from critical psychology.
Transgressive hybrids as hopeful holobionts.
Microbiome
January 2025
Department of Biological Sciences, Clemson University, Clemson, SC, 29631, USA.
Background: Hybridization between evolutionary lineages has profound impacts on the fitness and ecology of hybrid progeny. In extreme cases, the effects of hybridization can transcend ecological timescales by introducing trait novelty upon which evolution can act. Indeed, hybridization can even have macroevolutionary consequences, for example, as a driver of adaptive radiations and evolutionary innovations.
