Changes in minimal verbal communication by children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were measured with the Communication Complexity Scale (CCS) and other communication assessments. The CCS measures complexity of preverbal and beginning verbal communication used to communicate behavior regulation and joint attention. The purpose was to investigate if the CCS was responsive to changes associated with a behavioral intervention aimed at improving communication skills. Changes were detected with CCS scores, rates of initiating joint attention, and the Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) Expressive Language subscale. Significant changes in CCS scores were also detected for a subgroup of participants who did not show significant changes on the MSEL Expressive Language subscale, demonstrating that CCS scores are sensitive to changes associated with a behavioral intervention.

The predictive value of optic nerve sheath diameter measurement via ultrasound for intracerebral hemorrhage complicated by cerebral-cardiac syndrome.
BMC Neurol
January 2025
Department of Intensive Care Unit, Shijiazhuang People's Hospital, No. 09 of FangBei Road, Chang'an District, Shijiazhuang, 050000, China.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the clinical significance of ultrasound-based measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in predicting intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) complicated by cerebral-cardiac syndrome (CCS).
Methods: Patients with ICH and who were treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Shijiazhuang People's Hospital between October 2021 and November 2022 were included in this study. Participants were divided into two groups: those with CCS and those without.
Dual regulation of the levels and function of Start transcriptional repressors drives G1 arrest in response to cell wall stress.
Cell Commun Signal

Institut de Biotecnologia i Biomedicina (BIOTECMED) and Departament de Bioquímica i Biologia Molecular, Universitat de València, Burjassot, 46100, Spain.
Background: Many different stress signaling pathways converge in a common response: slowdown or arrest cell cycle in the G1 phase. The G1/S transition (called Start in budding yeast) is a key checkpoint controlled by positive and negative regulators. Among them, Whi7 and Whi5 are transcriptional repressors of the G1/S transcriptional program, yeast functional homologs of the Retinoblastoma family proteins in mammalian cells.

Auburn University, Auburn, AL, 36849, USA.
Background: Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) circular consensus sequencing (CCS), also known as high fidelity (HiFi) technology, has revolutionized modern genomics by producing long (10 + kb) and highly accurate reads. This is achieved by sequencing circularized DNA molecules multiple times and combining them into a consensus sequence. Currently, the accuracy and quality value estimation provided by HiFi technology are more than sufficient for applications such as genome assembly and germline variant calling.

Università di Genova, DiMI, Genoa, Italy.
Background: Chronic cough (CC) is underevaluated and underreported. The introduction of a tool that is easy to complete, score and interpret and with the psychometric properties requested for use in individual patients could improve clinical practice.
Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to validate the Chronic Cough Patient Perspective (CCPP) for assessing CC in daily practice.
Background Autonomic dysfunction is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease. Cardiac autonomic dysfunction parameters such as heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate recovery (HRR) have been studied individually and have been linked to the presence or likelihood of coronary artery disease. In this study, the cardiac autonomic function was assessed in terms of HRR and HRV.
