The cyclicity (CIC) of cortisol spontaneously occurs in a minority of patients with Cushing syndrome (CS). When it arises, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches become more challenging. This study aimed to report a patient with Cushing disease (CD) who achieved normalization of cortisol and CIC pattern with pasireotide long-acting release (pasi/LAR...
Several methods can be used in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to reduce stress and optimize the quality of life during this period of hospitalization. Among these, music could play an important role. We investigated the effect of different kinds of music therapies on the brain activity of very preterm infants using amplitude-integrated EEG...
Abstract With standardized methodology and nomenclature, the sequence stratigraphy aims to characterize multi-scale cyclical units of genetically related rocks into a hierarchical chronostratigraphic framework. From facies to basin scale, the stacking patterns and stratigraphic surfaces are recognized as sequence elements. In parallel, Earth scienc...

AbstractA series of monthly mean values of the surface temperature in August are created for the Sea of Okhotsk and adjacent waters using 21 years’ worth of satellite measurements (1998–2018). In each spatial cell about 2 × 2 km in size, the amplitudes and phases of harmonics for different periods are determined by the least squares method. Distrib...

Estrus detection patches were evaluated as a tool to classify postpartum cows as estrous cycling or anestrous at the start of the breeding season. EstrotectTM Breeding Indicators were applied to 257 postpartum beef cows in three locations 25 days prior to the start of estrus synchronization. Coincident with the start of estrus synchronization, patc...

Categorial systems of nosology are based on a cross-sectional enumeration of symptoms with a predefined cut-off, but hardly capture rapid fluctuations of manifestation nor longitudinal characteristics, e.g., cyclicity. Especially with disorders presenting with an admixture or frequent change of psychotic and affective symptoms, diagnostic specifity...

An autonomous model of a phenomenological type was designed for a biological population of lemmings in complex studies of tundra communities. The population dynamics is described in the model by a difference equation, which relates the population sizes observed in 2 consecutive years and depends on three parameters of biological and ecological natu...

Phthalates are known endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are found in many consumer products. Our laboratory previously developed a relevant phthalate mixture consisting of six phthalates and found that it disrupted female fertility in mice. However, it is unknown if prenatal exposure to phthalate mixtures can accelerate reproductive aging and if t...

This article presents a perspective on syntactic cyclicity in minimalism that is compatible with fundamental ideas in construction–grammar approaches. In particular, I outline the minimalist approach to syntactic structure building and highlight that units of potentially any phrasal size can be atomic items in the syntactic derivation, showing that...

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a known endocrine disruptor and diisononyl phthalate (DiNP) is a common DEHP replacement chemical. However, little is known about late-life consequences due to DEHP or DiNP exposure during adulthood. Thus, this study tested the hypothesis that adult exposure to DEHP or DiNP affects female reproductive parameters...
