Threat perception and behavioral reactivity in response to an acute stressor in infant rhesus macaques.

Attentional bias to threat is an adaptive response to the presence of threat and danger in the environment (Haselton et al., 2009; Pollak, 2008). Attentional bias to threat is present in both human and nonhuman primates (e.

Characterization of the microbial communities in paddy soils in Lajas, Puerto Rico using 16S rRNA gene.

The microbiota in the paddy soils of the Lajas Agricultural Experimental Station at the University of Puerto Rico (LAES-UPR) plays a crucial role in agricultural ecosystems. Despite being at an experimental station, these soils represent natural environments supporting rice cultivation. Microbial diversity was evaluated during pre-harvest and post-harvest periods.

Do US quitsites present information related to providing services for LGBTQ individuals? An audit study.

Introduction: Most US quitlines have quitsites and websites designated to promote their services. Quitsites have the potential to encourage LGBTQ individuals to utilize quitline services by explicitly mentioning the provision of LGBTQ-competent services. The present study audited quitsites to determine the presence of information regarding services for LGBTQ individuals.

COVID-19 Attitudes and Quality of Life in Older Adults in Puerto Rico: The Mediating Role of Psychological Sense of Community.

Quality of life (QOL) for older adults in Puerto Rico was significantly impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet there has been little attention to this topic. This study examines the association between COVID-19-related attitudes and QOL and the mediating role of the psychological sense of community (PSOC) in this context. Data are from a COVID-19 knowledge, attitudes, and practices survey with a nonprobability sample of 213 Puerto Rican adults aged 60+ in 2021.

Mapping resistance to Sclerotinia white mold in two pinto bean recombinant inbred line populations.

White mold, caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, is a devastating disease affecting common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production worldwide.

Atypical Tibial Fracture Following Chronic Bisphosphonate Use: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Atypical fractures are diagnosed when an otherwise normal force causes a fracture in a patient using bisphosphonates chronically. These occur most commonly in the subtrochanteric region of the femur. Yet, the literature on atypical tibial shaft fractures is scarce.

A new genus and species of Parastenocarididae Chappuis, 1940 (Copepoda, Harpacticoida) from the Espinhaço Mountain Range (Brazil) with an unclear phylogenetic position within the Fontinalicaridinae Schminke, 2010.

Tupinicaris gen. nov. is proposed to accommodate a new hyporheic species of Parastenocarididae found in the northern portion of the Espinhaço mountain range (Minas Gerais, Brazil), in the Jequitinhonha River basin.

Sex differences in parental reasons for lack of intent to initiate HPV vaccination among adolescents ages 13-17 years: National Immunization Survey - Teen 2019-2021.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate parents' main reasons for lack of intent to vaccinate their adolescent against human papillomavirus (HPV) from 2019 to 2021 and to examine changes in these main reasons stratified by sex of the adolescent.

Methods: NIS-Teen data from 2019 to 2021 were used. Parents who had not vaccinated their adolescent aged 13-17 against HPV and had no intent to do so in the next 12 months were asked the main reason behind this decision.

Measurable Residual Disease in Mantle Cell Lymphoma: The Unbearable Lightness of Being Undetectable.

Purpose Of Review: This paper evaluates the benefits and limitations of detecting measurable residual disease (MRD) in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and assesses its prognostic value. It also aims to highlight the importance of detecting low MRD levels post-treatment and their application in clinical practice.

Recent Findings: Recent studies show that MRD levels predict relapse and survival outcomes in hematologic neoplasms, including MCL.

The Significance of the 'Insignificant': Non-covalent Interactions in CO Reduction Reactions with 3C-TM (TM=Sc-Zn) Single-Atom Catalysts.

With energy shortages and excessive CO emissions driving climate change, converting CO into high-value-added products offers a promising solution for carbon recycling. We investigate CO reduction reactions (CORR) catalyzed by 10 single-atom catalysts (SACs), incorporating weak non-covalent interactions, specifically lone pair-Ï€ and H-Ï€ interactions. The SACs, consisting of transition metals coordinated by three carbon atoms in a defective graphene substrate (3C-TM, TM=Sc-Zn), leverage these interactions to influence the energy fluctuations of intermediates and the limiting potentials of CORR, without altering the overall reaction pathway.

Comprehensive analysis of Burkholderia species head and neck infections: A systematic review.

Objective: To report the first systematic review and meta-analysis of Burkholderia species infections of the head and neck to facilitate understanding of the disease's demographics, mortality rate, comorbidities associated, symptoms, and antibiotic treatments utilized.

Data Sources: COCHRANE Library, CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus.

Review Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed using PRISMA reporting guidelines.

Smart agriculture: utilizing machine learning and deep learning for drought stress identification in crops.

Plant stress reduction research has advanced significantly with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, such as machine learning and deep learning. This is a significant step toward sustainable agriculture. Innovative insights into the physiological responses of plants mostly crops to drought stress have been revealed through the use of complex algorithms like gradient boosting, support vector machines (SVM), recurrent neural network (RNN), and long short-term memory (LSTM), combined with a thorough examination of the TYRKC and RBR-E3 domains in stress-associated signaling proteins across a range of crop species.

Survival Outcomes and Disparities in Surgery Refusal for Papillary Thyroid Cancer.

Background/aim: Surgery is the cornerstone of treatment for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), yet some patients refuse surgery, which may impact their survival outcomes. Understanding factors associated with surgery refusal could inform interventions to improve acceptance of recommended care.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the impact of surgery refusal on overall survival (OS) and identified associated demographic and clinical factors using data on patients with PTC from the National Cancer Database from 2004 to 2019.

Collaborating With Jails to Provide Community-Based Medication for Opioid Use Disorder: Qualitative Perspectives from MOUD Treatment Providers.

Objectives: As carceral settings increasingly offer medications for opioid use disorders (MOUD), community-based providers will need to navigate relationships with correctional agencies to ensure continuity of MOUD upon release. Although collaboration has been identified as critical between agencies, limited research is available that details how providers can work with jails. We describe the perspectives of MOUD providers about their experiences collaborating with jails that had recently begun to offer MOUD.

Targeted Multimodality Treatment to Eliminate the Need for Enucleation in Advanced Coats Disease.

To examine the trends and outcomes in the management of Coats disease and evaluate the effects of a staged therapeutic approach using transpupillary laser vascular ablation, intravitreal (IVT) bevacizumab, and adjunct as-needed posterior sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide (used only in cases with a persistent active exudation) on globe retention, anatomic status, and visual acuity (VA). An evaluation was performed from 2005 to 2023. Previous case series published in the literature were reviewed.

Effects of temperature and size class on the gut digesta microbiota of the sea urchin .
