A comprehensive study of socio-medical and constitutional aspects of longevity in Pridnestrovie (Transnistria) was carried out. The level of longevity, the frequency of occurrence of hereditary predisposition to longevity, the features of anthropometric indicators, the somatic and psychological constitution of long-livers, their state of health, degree of ability to self-service, marital status, professional activity and level of physical activity throughout life are revealed.

A pilot study of transcriptomic preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-T): towards a new step in embryo selection?
Hum Reprod

IVIRMA Global Research Alliance, IVI Foundation, Health Research Institute La Fe, Valencia, Spain.
Study Question: Is it possible to predict an euploid chromosomal constitution and identify a transcriptomic profile compatible with extended embryonic development from RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data?
Summary Answer: It has been possible to obtain a karyotype comparable to preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A), in addition to a transcriptomic signature of embryos which might be suggestive of improved implantation capacity.
What Is Known Already: Conventional assessment of embryo competence, based on morphology and morphokinetic, lacks knowledge of molecular aspects and faces controversy in predicting ploidy status. Understanding the embryonic transcriptome is crucial, as gene expression influences development and implantation.
Developmental epigenetics: Understanding genetic and sexually dimorphic responses to parental diet and outcomes following assisted reproduction.

The developmental integrity and wellbeing of offspring are influenced by events that occur in utero, particularly around the time of conception. While extraneous factors such as environmental temperature and exposure to environmental chemicals can each have a bearing on these events, the epigenetic mechanisms that direct cellular differentiation during early development in ruminants are best described for studies which have investigated the effects of parental nutrition or pregnancy outcomes following assisted reproduction. In this article the case is made that the genetic constitution of an individual directs epigenetic responses to environmental stimuli, and consideration in this regard is also given to the origins of sexual dimorphism and mechanisms of germline intergenerational inheritance.

Department of Neurology & Rehabilitation Medicine, School of Medicine & Health Sciences, George Washington University, Washington, DC, United States.
Background: Advances in video image analysis and artificial intelligence provide opportunities to transform how patients are evaluated. In this study, we assessed the ability to quantify Zoom video recordings of a standardized neurological examination- the Myasthenia Gravis Core Examination (MG-CE)-designed for telemedicine evaluations.
Methods: We used Zoom (Zoom Video Communications) videos of patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) who underwent the MG-CE.
Xenotransplantation in the Age of Genome Editing: Results From the Expert Report for the Federal Ethics Committee on Nonhuman Biotechnology With a Special Focus on Animal Ethics.
Xenotransplantation

Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna, Wien, Austria.
Background: The Federal Ethics Committee on Non-Human Biotechnology (ECNH) of Switzerland is an independent expert committee appointed by the Federal Council and mandated to advise the federal authorities from an ethical perspective in the field of nonhuman biotechnology and gene technology. Due to recent developments in the field of xenotransplantation after the introduction of genome editing technologies, the ECNH has commissioned an expert report on the ethical questions of xenotransplantation with a focus on animal ethics. The subject of the inquiry is, in particular, if current developments in the field of xenotransplantation raise new questions regarding ethics in the nonhuman realm or if existing questions have to be re-examined and answered anew.

The legal framework in Switzerland regarding medicine and health care is complex. Switzerland doesn't have a specific federal law on medicine or health care. Instead, numerous legal provisions apply to very different medical and health care situations.
