Advancements in DNA sequencing technology have facilitated the generation of a vast number of DNA sequences, posing opportunities and challenges for constructing large phylogenetic trees. DNA barcode sequences, particularly COI, represent extensive orthologous sequences suitable for phylogenetic analysis. Phylogenetic placement analysis offers a promising method to integrate COI data into tree-building efforts, yet the impacts of backbone tree completeness and species composition remain under-explored.

Occult breast cancer (OBC) is a relatively rare clinical condition that can complicate differential diagnosis efforts and delay the administration of specific treatments. The individualized therapy of patients with OBC should be performed based on their clinical symptoms, imaging findings and pathological diagnosis. The present case study describes a 51-year-old woman with a painless left axillary tumor.

Oral health and sleep quality are critical components of overall health, but their relationship remains poorly understood. The present meta-analysis therefore investigates the association between oral health and sleep quality, synthesizing evidence from diverse populations. To this aim, a comprehensive search strategy identified 311 articles, from which 8 studies encompassing 18 comparisons met the inclusion criteria.

In computerized adaptive testing (CAT), examinees see items targeted to their ability level. Postoperational data have a high degree of missing information relative to designs where everyone answers all questions. Item responses are observed over a restricted range of abilities, reducing item-total score correlations.

Physiological or genetic assays and computational modeling are valuable tools for understanding animals' visual discrimination capabilities. Yet sometimes, the results generated by these methods appear not to jive with other aspects of an animal's appearance or natural history, and behavioral confirmatory tests are warranted. Here we examine the peculiar case of a male jumping spider that displays red, black, white, and UV color patches during courtship despite the fact that, according to microspectrophotometry and color vision modeling, they are unlikely able to discriminate red from black.
