Within wall turbulence, there is a sublayer where the mean velocity and the variance of velocity fluctuations vary logarithmically with the height from the wall. This logarithmic scaling is also known for the mean concentration of a passive scalar. By using heat as such a scalar in a laboratory experiment of a turbulent boundary layer, the existence of the logarithmic scaling is shown here for the variance of fluctuations of the scalar concentration. It is reproduced by a model of energy-containing eddies that are attached to the wall.

N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and cardiorenal outcome in patients with anaemia in chronic kidney disease.
ESC Heart Fail

Division of Clinical Nephrology and Rheumatology, Kidney Research Center, Niigata University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Niigata, Japan.
Aims: Blood levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) may be modified by low renal clearance and anaemia. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the blood NT-proBNP level on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with these two manifestations.
Methods: This post hoc analysis stemmed from the oBservational clinical Research In chronic kidney disease patients with renal anemia: renal proGnosis in patients with Hyporesponsive anemia To Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, darbepoetiN alfa (BRIGHTEN) trial, a large prospective study involving patients with non-dialysis kidney disease experiencing anaemia.
The best ovarian reserve marker to predict ovarian response following controlled ovarian hyperstimulation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Syst Rev
December 2024
School of Medicine, Academic Unit of Translational Medical Sciences, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK.
Background: One of the most challenging aspects of treating patients facing primary ovarian insufficiency, especially those eligible for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), is the assessment of ovarian function and response to stimulatory protocols in terms of the number of oocytes retrieved. The lack of consistency between studies regarding the best parameter for response evaluation necessitates a comprehensive statistical analysis of the most commonly utilized ovarian reserve markers (ORM). This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to establish the optimal metric for assessing ovarian reserve among COH candidates.

Context: Medical students report high levels of perceived stress and burnout, especially during the preclinical years. The combination of physical stressors from poor posture, poor sleep quality, and mental stressors from the rigorous curriculum stimulates the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) to secrete cortisol. Previous studies have shown that persistent elevated cortisol levels are associated with negative health outcomes.

Global health organizations recommend breastfeeding, but maternal pharmacotherapy can disrupt this due to safety concerns. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models predict medication transfer through breastfeeding, relying on validated milk intake volume data. However, the literature is mainly focused on different measurement methods, or such intake data have been collected without systematic review.
