To examine the economic impact of lives lost due to the coronavirus pandemic across California and Los Angeles (LA) County. Years of potential life lost (YPLL) and the value of statistical life (VSL) were calculated using mortality data from the California Department of Public Health, the LA County Department of Public Health and the Social Security Administration websites. In California and LA County, the average YPLL per person were 14.3 and 14.7 and the VSLs were approximately US$219.9 billion and $82.7 billion, respectively. YPLL and VSL were greatest for Latinos aged 50-64. The economic burden of lives lost due to the coronavirus across California and LA County is substantial. Latinos aged 50-64 were most affected.

Location and Movement of the Oxytocin Receptor Differ Between the Normal and Diseased Prostate.
Cancers (Basel)
January 2025
Department of Anatomy, University of Otago, P.O. Box 913, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand.
Background: In normal prostate cells, receptors for oxytocin (OT), a peptide involved in regulating prostate growth are sequestered within membrane microdomains called caveolae. During cancer progression, polymerase-transcript-release factor (PTRF) is downregulated, caveolae structures are lost and receptors move onto the cell membrane. This study investigated whether proteins responsible for caveolae formation were affected by the OT peptide, also, how OT treatment affected oxytocin receptor (OTR) movement within living cells.

This study characterizes the evolution of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF) across vertebrate lineages, both cyclostomes and gnathostomes, by combining sequence similarity and synteny data for the genes from 23 model species. The available evidence supports a simple model in which most of the diversity found in living species can be attributed to the expansion of four genes found in an ancestor of all vertebrates before the first of the genome duplications that occurred in the vertebrate lineages. It is inferred that the ancestor of all cyclostomes possessed only six TNFSF genes.

Lancet Child Adolesc Health

Stellenbosch University, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Department of Paediatrics and Child Health, Desmond Tutu TB Centre, Tygerberg, South Africa.
Background: There are few data on the treatment of children and adolescents with multidrug-resistant (MDR) or rifampicin-resistant (RR) tuberculosis, especially with more recently available drugs and regimens. We aimed to describe the clinical and treatment characteristics and their associations with treatment outcomes in this susceptible population.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis.
Qualitative systematic review on the lived experience of functional neurological disorder.
BMJ Neurol Open
January 2025
The Brain and Mind Centre, The University of Sydney Faculty of Medicine and Health, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Objectives: Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a complex disorder, recently attracting much research into aetiology and treatment. However, there is limited research on the patient's lived experience. This paper addresses this gap to ask: 'What is the subjective life experience of adult patients living with FND?'
Methods: From 1980 to 2020, Medline, PsycInfo, Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, CINAHL and Embase were searched for English language qualitative adult research.
Rapid change in red cell blood group systems after the main Out of Africa of Homo sapiens.
Sci Rep

Aix Marseille Univ, CNRS, EFS, ADES, Marseille, France.
Despite the advances in paleogenomics, red cell blood group systems in ancient human populations remain scarcely known. Pioneer attempts showed that Neandertal and Denisova, two archaic hominid populations inhabiting Eurasia, expressed blood groups currently found in sub-Saharans and a rare "rhesus", part of which is found in Oceanians. Herein we fully pictured the blood group genetic diversity of 22 Homo sapiens and 14 Neandertals from Eurasia living between 120,000 and 20,000 years before present (yBP).
