Aim: The Antarctic marine environment hosts diversified and highly endemic benthos owing to its unique geologic and climatic history. Current warming trends have increased the urgency of understanding Antarctic species history to predict how environmental changes will impact ecosystem functioning. Antarctic benthic lineages have traditionally been examined under three hypotheses: 1) high endemism and local radiation, 2) emergence of deep-sea taxa through thermohaline circulation, 3) species migrations across the Polar Front. In this study, we...

Abstract Background Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is a common and burdensome injury. However, the quality of its management is scant. Nowadays, physiotherapy management of musculoskeletal diseases seems to be generally not based on research evidence. Studies that investigated the knowledge-to-practice gap in LAS management are yet to be carried out. Therefore, this research investigated physiotherapists’ knowledge of and adherence to LAS Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) and recommendations. Methods A cross-sectional study based on an online...

Abstract Background Targeted temperature management (TTM) is recommended following cardiac arrest; however, time to target temperature varies in clinical practice. We hypothesised the effects of a target temperature of 33 °C when compared to normothermia would differ based on average time to hypothermia and those patients achieving hypothermia fastest would have more favorable outcomes. Methods In this post-hoc analysis of the TTM-2 trial, patients after out of hospital cardiac arrest were randomized to targeted hypothermia...

Additional file 1: Fig. 1. Predicted probability of death across the 6 hypothermia groups as compared to the normothermia groups at the corresponding sites. Patients in group 1, with the lowest average temperature at 4 hours had a higher probability of death.

Additional file 6: Prognostic value of ICR classifier across solid cancers. Forest plot showing HRs for death (overall survival) and corresponding 95%-confidence interval for the continuous ICR score and number of patients for each TCGA cancer cohort and RAQA breast cancer cohort. Significant positive HRs are visualized in blue and significant negative HRs are visualized in red. ICR enabled (HR < 1, p-value < 0.05) cancer types are indicated with orange asterisks and ICR disabled...

Additional file 8: Survival curves of 3 ir-lncRNA signature. Overall survival Kaplan-Meier curves in which the 3 ir-lncRNAs signature did not show any significant prognostic value. Dichotomization cutoff of ‘high’ (red) and ‘low’ (cyan) subgroups was based on the optimal cut-off point as determined by a 5-fold cross-validation analysis. Censor points are indicated by vertical lines. P-values were determined by logrank test.

Abstract Despite modern preparation techniques offer the opportunity to tailor the composition, size, and shape of magnetic nanoparticles, understanding and hence controlling the magnetic properties of such entities remains a challenging task, due to the complex interplay between the volume-related properties and the phenomena occurring at the particle’s surface. The present work investigates spinel iron oxide nanoparticles as a model system to quantitatively analyze the crossover between the bulk and the surface-dominated magnetic regimes. The...

Abstract Background Little is known about the disposition to autoimmune diseases (ADs) among children diagnosed with JIA. In this study, we provide a comprehensive overview of the prevalence of and factors associated with ADs in parents of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods Prevalence rates of ADs and 95% Poisson confidence intervals were calculated for parents of JIA patients from the international Pharmachild registry and compared with general population prevalence rates as reported in...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has put a strain on global healthcare systems. Despite admirable efforts to develop rapidly new pharmacotherapies, supportive treatments remain the standard of care. Multiple clinical trials have failed due to design issues, biased patient enrollment, small sample sizes, inadequate control groups, and lack of long-term outcomes monitoring. This narrative review depicts the current situation around failed and success COVID-19 clinical trials and recommendations in hospitalized patients with COVID-19, oversights...

The aim of this study is to assess the bone mineral density (BMD) and T-score reference values in a population from 18 to 95 years old in Lombardy region, Italy. This study also investigates the association between BMD values and body mass index (BMI) divided by gender and age. The evaluation of BMD was analyzed by T-score and BMD in each site, femur, and column. A total of 10,503 patients (9,627 females and 876 males,...
