Calcined bone provides a reliable substrate for strontium isotope ratios as shown by an enrichment experiment by Snoeck, C, Lee-Thorp, J, Schulting, R, de Jong, J, Debouge, W, Mattielli, N

“…<p><b>Rationale</b></p> Strontium isotopes (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) are used in archaeological and forensic science as markers of residence or mobility because they reflect the local geological substrate. Currently, tooth enamel is considered to be the most reliable tissue, but it rarely survives heating so that in cremations only calcined bone fragments survive. …”

Adverse events of common psychiatric medications: an umbrella review by Bartellas, K

“…The strongest associations were between amitriptyline and sexual dysfunction (N=442, odds ratio [OR] 16.6; 95% Confidence Intervals [CI] 4.6 to 60.6), aripiprazole and somnolence (N=569, OR 25.8; 95% CI 1.3 to 112.3) and olanzapine and weight gain (N=249, OR 32.0; 95% CI 1.7 to 98.4). Overall, neurological adverse events were reported most frequently for antidepressant, antipsychotic and anxiolytic medication classes. …”

Increased interleukin-6 correlates with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies in pediatric monophasic demyelinating diseases and multiple sclerosis by Horellou, P, Wang, M, Keo, V, Chrétien, P, Serguera, C, Waters, P, Deiva, K

“…Thirty four children presenting with a first episode of ADS, 17 with monophasic ADS (9 with ADEM, 4 with TM and 4 with ON) and 17 with MS, who had paired blood and CSF samples at onset were included and compared to 12 patients with other non-inflammatory neurological disorders (OND). Cytokines and anaphylatoxins in CSF were measured by Cytometric Bead Array immunoassay. …”

Prevalence of West Nile virus in domesticated mammals (cattle, goat, horse and pig) in selected areas of Peninsular Malaysia by Mohammed, Mohammed Nma

“…Meanwhile, both age and location were associated with WNV seropositivity in the pigs. Serological results indicate past exposure to WNV in all the species in this study. …”

Optimization of Financial Indicators in Shale-Gas Wells Combining Numerical Decline Curve Analysis and Economic Data Analysis by Soage, Andres, Juanes, Ruben, Colominas, Ignasi, Cueto-Felgueroso, Luis

“…We show that, to achieve a profitable investment in shale-gas with high certainty, it is necessary to place the wells in extremely good locations in terms of geological parameters (porosity) and to have exceptional fracturing technology (geometry) and fracture permeability. …”

Whence came these plants most foul? Phylogenomics and biogeography of Lowiaceae (Zingiberales) by Niissalo, Matti A., Gardner, Elliot M., Khew, Gillian S., Šída, Otakar, Poulsen, Axel Dalberg, Leong-Škornicková, Jana

“…The results are consistent with the geological history of Southeast Asia. In particular, the relatively early isolation between Indochina and Borneo could be explained by the presence of a sea barrier that developed 10–15 MYA, and the continuous movement of plant species between Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia could be explained by a land bridge that existed until c. 5 MYA. …”

Architectures of Microbiality: From Diatoms to Diatom Houses by Luo, Xuan

“…It investigates how unseen natural elements were disseminated, accumulated, and manifested into distinctly perceivable forms, revealing that the understanding of diatoms expanded from isolated, object-focused studies to a concern for environmental relationships and geological transitions. Filling the world was not some grand narrative of human will but the disorienting, puzzling, and even frightful everywhere-ness of microbiality. …”

Early Neoarchean geodynamic regime in the North China Craton: constraints from 2.7 Ga granitoids in the southern Jilin terrane by Liu, J, Zhang, H, Palin, RM, Liu, Z, Zhang, J, Cheng, C, Liu, X, Zhao, C

Predicting Outcomes of Preterm Neonates Post Intraventricular Hemorrhage by Vignolle, Gabriel A., Bauerstätter, Priska, Schönthaler, Silvia, Nöhammer, Christa, Olischar, Monika, Berger, Angelika, Kasprian, Gregor, Langs, Georg, Vierlinger, Klemens, Goeral, Katharina

“…In recent years, research has focused on leveraging advanced proteomic technologies and machine learning to improve prediction of neonatal complications, particularly in relation to neurological outcomes. Machine learning (ML) approaches, combined with proteomics, offer a powerful tool to identify biomarkers and predict patient-specific risks. …”

Toward a neuroscientific understanding of play: a dimensional coding framework for analyzing infant–adult play patterns by Neale, Dave, Clackson, Kaili, Georgieva, Stanimira, Dedetas, Hatice, Scarpate, Melissa, Wass, Sam, Leong, Victoria

“…A challenge for current research is to converge on a common definition and measurement system for play – whether examined at a behavioral, cognitive or neurological level. Combining these different approaches in a multimodal analysis could yield significant advances in understanding the neurocognitive mechanisms of play, and provide the basis for developing biologically grounded play models. …”

Large-scale profiling of antibody reactivity to glycolipids in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome by Thomma, RCM, Halstead, SK, de Koning, LC, Fehmi, J, Rinaldi, S, IGOS consortium

“…<br> In total, 1413 patients from the observational International Guillain-Barré syndrome Outcome Study (0-91 years, 60.3% male) and 1061 controls (healthy, family, infectious, vaccination, other neurological disease) were included. Acute-phase sera from patients were screened for IgM, IgG, and IgA reactivity against 15 glycolipids and one phospholipid and their heteromeric complexes, similarly to archived control sera. …”

Ultramafic Alteration and the Cooling of Earth and Mars by Murray, Joshua

“…My work asks as many questions as it answers but tries to honestly portray the uncertainties associated with the application of quantitative methods in noisy, geologic systems. I hope that in trying to meaningfully constrain these processes I plant seeds of inquiry from which myself and others can one day make more concrete statements of the cause and effect between tectonics and climate.…”

Changes in cerebrospinal fluid balance of TNF and TNF receptors in naïve multiple sclerosis patients : early involvement in compartmentalised intrathecal inflammation by Magliozzi, Roberta, Pezzini, Francesco, Pucci, Mairi, Rossi, Stefania, Facchiano, Francesco, Marastoni, Damiano, Montagnana, Martina, Lippi, Giuseppe, Reynolds, Richard, Calabrese, Massimiliano

“…In order to explore whether this feature may be present from the early stages of MS and may be associated with the clinical outcome, the protein levels of TNF, sTNF-R1 and sTNF-R2 were assayed in CSF collected from 122 treatment-naïve MS patients and 36 subjects with other neurological conditions at diagnosis. Potential correlations with other CSF cytokines/chemokines and with clinical and imaging parameters at diagnosis (T0) and after 2 years of follow-up (T24) were evaluated. …”
