Bora phosphorylation substitutes in trans for T-loop phosphorylation in Aurora A to promote mitotic entry
...Published in Nature Communications
Tavernier et al. decipher the mechanism by which the intrinsically disordered protein Bora, phosphorylated by Cyclin-Cdk, potentiates AURKA activity towards Polo-like kinase 1. Furthermore, they demonstrate the importance of this mechanism for timely mitotic entry in Xenopus and human cells.
Patients experience of warmth and coldness in connection with surgery - a phenomenological study.
Published in International journal of qualitative studies on health and well-being
Purpose: The aim was to describe patients' lived experience of warmth and coldness in connection with surgery. Methods: A reflective lifeworld research (RLR) approach founded on phenomenology and the methodological principles of openness, flexibility, and bridling were used. The data consisted of 16 in-depth interviews with patients from four hospi...
Circulating tumor DNA is detectable in canine histiocytic sarcoma, oral malignant melanoma, and multicentric lymphoma
...Published in Scientific Reports
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has become an attractive biomarker in human oncology, and its use may be informative in canine cancer. Thus, we used droplet digital PCR or PCR for antigen receptor rearrangement, to explore tumor-specific point mutations, copy number alterations, and chromosomal rearrangements in the plasma of cancer-affected dogs. We...
Sex-dimorphic genetic effects and novel loci for fasting glucose and insulin variability
...Published in Nature Communications
Sex differences in fasting glucose and insulin have been identified, but the genetic loci underlying these differences have not. Here, the authors perform a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies to detect sex-specific and sex-dimorphic loci associated with fasting glucose and insulin.
The switching mechanisms of social network densification
Published in Scientific Reports
Densification and sparsification of social networks are attributed to two fundamental mechanisms: a change in the population in the system, and/or a change in the chances that people in the system are connected. In theory, each of these mechanisms generates a distinctive type of densification scaling, but in reality both types are generally mixed. ...
The influence of near-field fluxes on seasonal carbon dioxide enhancements: results from the Indianapolis Flux Experimen...
...Published in Carbon Balance and Management
BackgroundNetworks of tower-based CO2 mole fraction sensors have been deployed by various groups in and around cities across the world to quantify anthropogenic CO2 emissions from metropolitan areas. A critical aspect in these approaches is the separation of atmospheric signatures from distant sources and sinks (i.e., the background) from local emi...
Longitudinal study based on a safety registry for malaria patients treated with artenimol–piperaquine in six European co...
...Published in Malaria Journal
BackgroundEuropean travellers to endemic countries are at risk of malaria and may be affected by a different range of co-morbidities than natives of endemic regions. The safety profile, especially cardiac issues, of artenimol (previously dihydroartemisinin)–piperaquine (APQ) Eurartesim® during treatment of uncomplicated imported falciparum malaria ...
Vascular access for renal replacement therapy among 459 critically ill patients: a pragmatic analysis of the randomized ...
...Published in Annals of Intensive Care
BackgroundVascular access for renal replacement therapy (RRT) is routine question in the intensive care unit. Randomized trials comparing jugular and femoral sites have shown similar rate of nosocomial events and catheter dysfunction. However, recent prospective observational data on RRT catheters use are scarce. We aimed to assess the site of RRT ...
Emergency ward ultrasound: clinical audit on disinfection practices during routine and sterile examinations
Published in Antimicrobial Resistance & Infection Control
ContextIn the emergency ward, where the use of ultrasound is common (including for sterile procedures), ward equipment is constantly exposed to high risks of microbiological contamination. There are no clear guidelines for disinfection control practices in emergency departments, and it is not known how emergency ward doctors follow good hygiene pra...
