Understanding the Loss of Maternal Care in Avian Brood Parasites Using Preoptic Area Transcriptome Comparisons in Brood Parasitic and Non-parasitic Blackbirds
(2019-02-13)
Parental care is critical for offspring survival in many species. However, parental behaviors have
been lost in roughly 1% of avian species known as the obligate brood parasites. To shed light on molecular
and neurobiological ...
Tissue stiffness at the human maternal–fetal interface
(2019-10-03)
STUDY QUESTION:
What is the stiffness (elastic modulus) of human nonpregnant secretory phase endometrium, first trimester decidua, and placenta?
SUMMARY ANSWER:
The stiffness of decidua basalis, the site of placental ...
Trends and Costs Associated With Suboptimal Physical Activity Among US Women With Cardiovascular Disease
(2019-04-12)
IMPORTANCE: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disability among
women. Achievement of recommended physical activity (PA) levels is an essential component of
CVD management.
OBJECTIVE: To ...
The variability of song variability in zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) populations
(2019-05-15)
Birdsong is a classic example of a learned social behaviour. Song behaviour is also influenced by genetic factors, and understanding the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences remains a major goal. ...
α-Klotho Expression in Mouse Tissues Following Acute Exhaustive Exercise
(2019-12-10)
α-Klotho, a multifunctional protein, has been demonstrated to protect tissues from
injury via anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory effects. The expression of α-klotho is
regulated by several physiological and pathological ...
What Do Program Directors Look for in an Applicant?

Program directors (PDs) are faced with an
increasing number of applicants to emergency medicine
(EM) and a limited number of positions. This article will provide candidates with insight to what PDs look for in an applicant. ...
Phylogenomic Reconstruction of the Neotropical Poison Frogs (Dendrobatidae) and Their Conservation
(2019-01-29)
The evolutionary history of the Dendrobatidae, the charismatic Neotropical poison frog family, remains in flux, even after a half-century of intensive research. Understanding the evolutionary relationships between dendrobatid ...
Real-time compression feedback for patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest: a multi-center randomized controlled clinical trial
(2019-01-03)
Objective: To determine if real-time compression feedback using a non-automated hand-held device improves
patient outcomes from in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA).
Methods: We conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled, ...
Refinement of risk stratification for childhood rhabdomyosarcoma using FOXO1 fusion status in addition to established clinical outcome predictors: A report from the Children's Oncology Group
(2019-08-06)
Background:
Previous studies of the prognostic importance of FOXO1 fusion status in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) have had conflicting results. We re‐examined risk stratification by adding FOXO1 status to traditional ...
Regulation of cardiac fibroblast-mediated maladaptive ventricular remodeling by β-arrestins
(2019-07-03)
Cardiac fibroblasts (CF) play a critical role in post-infarction remodeling which can ultimately
lead to pathological fibrosis and heart failure. Recent evidence demonstrates that remote
(non-infarct) territory fibrosis ...
