"We don't do any of these things because we are a death-denying culture": Sociocultural perspectives of Black and Latinx cancer caregivers

Author(s): Nwakasi C; Esiaka D; Nweke C; Chidebe RCW; Villamar W; de Medeiros K;

Objectives: Cancer is an enormous public health burden among Black and Latinx cancer survivors, and they are at risk of facing barriers to accessing cancer treatment and support in the United States. This study explored the unique challenges and experiences faced by Black and Latinx cancer survivors through the lens of their caregivers, including the spec ...

Fe/GMP functional nanomaterial enhancing the denitrification efficiency by bi-signal regulation: Electron transfer and microbial community

Author(s): Hao Y; Guo T; Li H; Liu W; Chen Z; Zhang W; Wang X; Guo J;

A novel functional nanomaterial composed of guanosine monophosphate (GMP) and Fe enhanced denitrification efficiency by regulating electron transfer and microbial community. Fe/GMP enhanced nitrate (NO3-) degradation rates by 3.00-fold in serum vial batch experiments, with a rate constant of 17.39 mg/(L·h) in sequencing batch reactor. Fe/GMP-mediated inte ...

Testing the predictions of reinforcement: long-term empirical data from a damselfly mottled hybrid zone

Author(s): Arce-Valdés LR; Ballén-Guapacha AV; Rivas-Torres A; Chávez-Ríos JR; Wellenreuther M; Hansson B; Guillén RAS;

Theoretical work suggests that reinforcement can cause the strengthening of prezygotic isolation in sympatry by mitigating the costs of maladaptive hybridization. However, only a handful of studies have simultaneously tested multiple predictions of this theory in natural populations. We investiga ...

SPOT: A machine learning model that predicts specific substrates for transport proteins

Author(s): Kroll A; Niebuhr N; Butler G; Lercher MJ;

Transport proteins play a crucial role in cellular metabolism and are central to many aspects of molecular biology and medicine. Determining the function of transport proteins experimentally is challenging, as they become unstable when isolated from cell membranes. Machine learning-based predictions could provide an efficient alternative. However, existin ...

Family shapes child development: The role of codevelopmental trajectories of interparental conflict and emotional warmth for children's longitudinal development of internalizing and externalizing problems

Author(s): Zemp M; Fang S; Johnson MD;

This study aimed (1) to identify distinct family trajectory profiles of destructive interparental conflict and parent-child emotional warmth reported by one parent, and (2) to examine whether these codevelopmental profiles were associated with the longitudinal development of children and adolescents' self-reported internalizing and externalizing probl ...

Exploring global oceanic persistence and ecological effects of legacy persistent organic pollutants across five decades

Author(s): Zhang X; Li L; Xie Z; Ma J; Li YF; Cai M; Ren NQ; Kallenborn R; Zhang ZF; Zhang X; C G Muir D;

Global monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) has intensified following regulatory efforts aimed at reducing their release. In this context, we compiled over 10,000 POP measurements, reported from 1980 to 2023, to assess the effectiveness of these legislative measures in the global ma ...

Differences Between French and English in the Use of Suprasegmental Cues for the Short-Term Recall of Word Lists

Author(s): Lew EC; Sares A; Gilbert AC; Zhang Y; Lehmann A; Deroche M;

Purpose: Greater recognition of the impact of hearing loss on cognitive functions has led speech/hearing clinics to focus more on auditory memory outcomes. Typically evaluated by scoring participants' recall on a list of unrelated words after they have heard the list read out loud, this method implies pitch and timing variations across words. Here, we ...

Core charge of imidazolium annulated triphenylene derivatives induces discotic columnar mesomorphism

Author(s): Chen S; Taing H; Ahmida M; He HY; Carr A; Muchall HM; Eichhorn SH;

Thermotropic ionic liquid crystals have remained a relatively little studied group of materials despite their many potential applications as anisotropic ionic liquids and charge (ion and electron/hole) transporting materials. Particularly rare are core charged discotic liquid crystals because their synthesis is usually more involved, and their molecular d ...

Sphingolipids containing very long-chain fatty acids regulate Ypt7 function during the tethering stage of vacuole fusion

Author(s): Zhang C; Calderin JD; Hurst LR; Gokbayrak ZD; Hrabak MR; Balutowski A; Rivera-Kohr DA; Kazmirchuk TDD; Brett CL; Fratti RA;

Sphingolipids are essential in membrane trafficking and cellular homeostasis. Here, we show that sphingolipids containing very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) promote homotypic vacuolar fusion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The elongase Elo3 adds the last two carbons to VLCFAs that are incorporated ...

Design and validation of an In Vitro test bench for the investigation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedure

Author(s): El-Khoury A; Leroux L; Dupuis Desroches J; Di Labbio G; Kadem L;

Despite recent clinical and technological advancements, the cardiac arrest survival rate remains as low as 10%. To enhance patient outcomes, it is crucial to deepen the understanding of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at a fundamental level. Currently, there is a lack of knowledge on the physiological effects of CPR, in particular on the hemodynamics ...
