Sex ratios at birth vary with environmental harshness but not maternal condition
(2019-06-21)The sex ratio at birth (SRB) may be patterned by maternal condition and/or environmental stressors. However, despite decades of research, empirical results from across the social and biological sciences are equivocal on ... -
Sex, not gender. A plea for accuracy

Sexually Dimorphic Venom Proteins in Long-Jawed Orb-Weaving Spiders ( Tetragnatha) Comprise Novel Gene Families
(2018-06-01)Venom has been associated with the ecological success of many groups of organisms, most notably reptiles, gastropods, and arachnids. In some cases, diversification has been directly linked to tailoring of venoms for dietary ... -
A shallow water ferrous-hulled shipwreck reveals a distinct microbial community.
(2020-08-19)Shipwrecks act as artificial reefs and provide a solid surface in aquatic systems for many different forms of life to attach to, especially microbial communities, making them a hotspot of biogeochemical cycling. Depending ... -
Shoreline change along sheltered coastlines: Insights from the neuse river estuary, NC, USA
(2011-07-12)Coastlines are constantly changing due to both natural and anthropogenic forces, and climate change and associated sea level rise will continue to reshape coasts in the future. Erosion is not only apparent along oceanfront ... -
The Short-Term Effect of Weight Loss Surgery on Volumetric Breast Density and Fibroglandular Volume
(2016-10-26)Purpose: Obesity and breast density are both associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and are potentially modifiable. Weight loss surgery (WLS) causes a significant reduction in the amount of body fat and a ... -
The Short-Term Effect of Weight Loss Surgery on Volumetric Breast Density and Fibroglandular Volume
(2017-04)Purpose Obesity and breast density are both associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and are potentially modifi- able. Weight loss surgery (WLS) causes a significant reduc- tion in the amount of body fat and a ... -
Similarities and Differences Regarding Acute Anorexia Nervosa and Semi-starvation: Does Behavioral Thermoregulation Play a Central Role?"
(2023-10-25)Objective: To clarify the association between acute anorexia nervosa (AN) and semi-starvation (SS) by focusing on similarities and differences in physiology, mood, and behavior. Method: A comparison of published literature ... -
A simple and rapid method for combining fluorescent in situ RNA hybridization (FISH) and immunofluorescence in the C. elegans germline
(2016-05-06)Imaging of RNAs and proteins in specific tissues has opened ample avenues to understand gene expression during development. Recently, a fluorescent in situ RNA hybridization (FISH) method has been developed to analyze the ... -
A simple model to quantitatively account for periodic outbreaks of the measles in the Dutch Bible Belt
(2015)In the Netherlands there has been nationwide vaccination against the measles since 1976. However, in small clustered communities of orthodox Protestants there is widespread refusal of the vaccine. After 1976, three large ... -
Simulating and quantifying legacy topographic data uncertainty: an initial step to advancing topographic change analyses
(2017-10)Rapid technological advances, sustained funding, and a greater recognition of the value of topographic data have helped develop an increasing archive of topographic data sources. Advances in basic and applied research ... -
A single dose of trichloroethylene given during development does not substantially alter markers of neuroinflammation in brains of adult mice
(2017-04-03)Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a widespread environmental contaminant associated with developmental immu- notoxicity and neurotoxicity. Previous studies have shown that MRLþ/þ mice exposed to TCE from gesta- tion through ... -
Single incision laparoscopic ventral hernia repair
(2011)Background and Objectives: Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVH) requires several skin incisions for trocar placement. We have developed a single incision approach to LVH repair. The technique was introduced in clinical ... -
Single-cell analysis reveals individual spore responses to simulated space vacuum
(2018-12-04)Outer space is a challenging environment for all forms of life, and dormant spores of bacteria have been frequently used to study the survival of terrestrial life in a space journey. Previous work showed that outer space ... -

(2017-05-12)Background: The objective of this study was to report our institutional experience with Gamma Knife® Radiosurgery (GKRS) in the treatment of patients with brain metastases. Methods: Retrospectively collected demographic ... -
Single-institution comparative study on the outcomes of salvage cryotherapy versus salvage robotic prostatectomy for radio-resistant prostate cancer
(2015)Background Although primary treatment of localized prostate cancer provides excellent oncologic control, some men who chose radiotherapy experience a recurrence of disease. There is no consensus on the most appropriate ... -
Small RNA Sequencing Reveals Regulatory Roles of MicroRNAs in the Development of Meloidogyne incognita
(2019-11-02)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of small regulatory RNAs. Knowing the specific expression and functions of miRNAs during root-knot nematode (RKN) (Meloidogyne incognita) development could provide fundamental ... -
