AvianLexiconAtlas: A database of descriptive categories of English-language bird names around the world.

Common names of species are important for communicating with the general public. In principle, these names should provide an accessible way to engage with and identify species. The common names of species have historically been labile without standard guidelines, even within a language.

Circulating microRNAs in predicting fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: A systematic review.

Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis, which contribute to adverse outcomes such as heart failure and sudden cardiac death. While cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is commonly used to detect myocardial fibrosis, circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising noninvasive biomarkers for this condition due to their stability in blood plasma and resistance to pH and temperature variance.

Aim: To explore the role of specific circulating miRNAs in identifying myocardial fibrosis in patients with HCM.

Cannabis use disorder and severe sepsis outcomes in cancer patients: Insights from a national inpatient sample.

Background: The burden of cannabis use disorder (CUD) in the context of its prevalence and subsequent cardiopulmonary outcomes among cancer patients with severe sepsis is unclear.

Aim: To address this knowledge gap, especially due to rising patterns of cannabis use and its emerging pharmacological role in cancer.

Methods: By applying relevant International Classification of Diseases, Ninth and Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification codes to the National Inpatient Sample database between 2016-2020, we identified CUD(+) and CUD(-) arms among adult cancer admissions with severe sepsis.

Bidirectional Associations Between Defense Mechanisms and Therapeutic Techniques in Psychotherapies for Panic Disorder.

Objective: The current study investigated bidirectional associations between defense mechanisms and therapeutic techniques in two different psychotherapies for panic disorder (PD). Identifying how technique use facilitates and is facilitated by change in defenses might guide adaptation and improvement of therapies.

Method: Patient defense mechanisms and use of therapeutic techniques were measured at early, mid, and late-treatment for 101 patients receiving panic-focused psychodynamic psychotherapy (PFPP) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Comparison of TAVR with SAVR on clinical outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: The advances and studies carried out in the area have shown that patients with aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing surgical valve replacement (SAVR) did not have encouraging outcomes. This study aims to compare the different risk factors in patients with AS undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) vs. SAVR, respectively, to offer options and more favorable results based on the results obtained in patients with these conditions.

Psychological, social, and health-related factors predict risk for financial exploitation.

People lose tens of billions of dollars a year to financial exploitation in the United States alone. Few studies have examined how preferences for trust and fairness in economic activities may contribute to risk for financial exploitation. Furthermore, few studies have examined the interaction between risk factors.

Methods: Secondary data analysis was conducted on a cross-sectional survey of 287 cancer patients from an oncology outpatient clinic in central China.

Community Member Attitudes Toward Sexual Offenses and Trauma-Oriented Care: A Qualitative Exploration.

High rates of trauma are documented among individuals convicted of a sex offense. Public attitudes toward these individuals tend to be negative and often shape legislative responses and policies regarding sex offending sentencing and treatment. However, less is known regarding whether public attitudes may consider trauma and its relevance as a potential treatment target for those convicted of a sex offense.

Impact of Exercise Modalities on Upper Extremity Spasticity in an Adult with Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy: A Case Report.

Spasticity, a hallmark of quadriplegic cerebral palsy (CP), severely impacts mobility and quality of life. While exercise is known to enhance fitness and motor function in individuals with CP, its specific efficacy in reducing upper extremity spasticity remains insufficiently studied. This research investigated the effects of weight-resistance exercise (RE), hand cycle bike exercise (BE), and aquatic exercise (AE) on upper extremity spasticity in an adult with quadriplegic CP.

Effectiveness of Cartoons, Comics, and Animation-Based Sexual Health Promotion and Education Interventions: A Scoping Review.

Objective: Sexual health education is crucial for promoting healthy sexual behaviors among people of all ages. Interventions involving cartoons, comics, and animations have emerged as effective tools due to their engaging and accessible nature. This scoping review explores the effectiveness of these interventions across different time frames and age groups.

Nilotinib Versus Imatinib in Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (Ph+ CML): A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs).

Philadelphia-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML) has witnessed significant advancements in treatment. Both nilotinib and imatinib have demonstrated potential in handling CML; however, a comprehensive evaluation of their comparative efficacy is crucial for optimizing treatment decisions. The primary objective of this study is to compare the rates of complete cytogenetic response (CCyR), major molecular response (MMR), and other clinical outcomes, including anemia, rash, and hyperbilirubinemia, in patients treated with either nilotinib or imatinib.

Antisocial personality traits and outcome in psychotherapy: Does the therapeutic alliance mediate negative effects?

Process and outcome studies focusing on antisocial traits (ANT) are limited (Van den Bosch et al., 2018), especially in nonforensic/nonoffender outpatient settings (Thylstrup & Hesse, 2016). ANT can impact outcomes through several mechanisms, such as treatment rejection, premature dropout, or poor alliance formation (Van den Bosch et al.

Call category classification of the isolation-induced ultrasonic vocalizations emitted by BTBR TItpr3/J mouse pups exposed to different perinatal diets.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by deficits in social communication and repetitive behaviors/restricted interests that may be diagnosed as early as 2 years of age. This suggests that the pathology underlying the disorder is present during early development, including gestation. This early developmental period is affected by maternal nutrition.

Age-related differences in trust decisions: when memory fails and appearances prevail.

Older adults are frequent victims of scams, possibly due to biases in how they decide whom to trust. Indeed, older adults' decisions are more likely to be influenced by how generous a person looks and less so by their memory for how this person behaved. Here, we leverage functional magnetic resonance imaging data to clarify the mechanism by which this age-dependent difference emerges.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Cardiovascular Disease Risk Prediction: An Updated Review on Current Understanding and Future Research.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) Continues to be the leading cause of mortality worldwide, underscoring the critical need for effective prevention and management strategies. The ability to predict cardiovascular risk accurately and cost-effectively is central to improving patient outcomes and reducing the global burden of CVD. While useful, traditional tools used for risk assessment are often limited in their scope and fail to adequately account for atypical presentations and complex patient profiles.

Exploring interactive stories for sexual health education among young adults in the USA.

Adolescents and young adults in the USA face significant sexual health challenges. Immigrant and refugee youth are particularly vulnerable due to barriers such as cultural silence around sex, contraception stigma, and knowledge gaps in sexual health. This pilot study explored the potential of a choose-your-own-adventure (CYOA) story intervention to address reproductive and sexual health disparities and enhance prevention engagement among immigrant and refugee youth in Central Ohio.

Parental sensitivity and child-parent attachment security in lesbian and gay parent families through assisted reproduction.

This longitudinal study examined parental sensitivity and child-parent attachment security in lesbian and gay parent families formed through assisted reproduction, comparing them to thresholds established in prior research.
