The Lombard effect, an involuntary rise in call amplitude response to masking ambient noise, represents one of the most efficient mechanisms optimize signal-to-noise ratio. effect occurs birds and mammals, including humans, is often associated with several other vocal changes, such as frequency duration. Most studies, however, have focused on noise-dependent changes amplitude. It therefore still largely unknown how adaptive relate shifts, underlying are linked, if auditory feedback from...
Brain arginine vasopressin (AVP) critically regulates normative social behavior in mammals, and experimental disruption of the AVP signaling pathway produces impairments rodent models. We therefore hypothesized that deficits may contribute to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Since blood measures (which are far easier obtain than brain measures) most meaningful if they related activity, Study 1 tested relationship between concentrations concomitantly collected CSF samples from...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by core social impairments. ASD remains poorly understood because of the difficulty in studying disease biology directly patients and reliance on mouse models that lack clinically relevant, complex cognition abilities. We use ethological observations rhesus macaques to identify male monkeys with naturally occurring low sociality. These showed differences specific neuropeptide kinase signaling pathways compared...
Abstract Background Global climatic oscillations, glaciation cycles and the unique geographic topology of China have profoundly influenced species population distributions. In most species, contemporary distributions populations cannot be fully understood, except in a historical context. Complex patterns Pleistocene glaciations, as well other physiographic changes distribution bat China. Until this study, there had been no phylogeographical research on Myotis davidii , an endemic Chinese...
The geographical patterns of the genetic structure Hipposideros armiger in China were assessed by analyzing sequence variation mitochondrial DNA control region. Analysis molecular variance revealed a very strong among 5 regions H. armiger. A neighbor-joining tree, haplotype network construction TCS and multidimensional scaling plots all showed significant geographic differentiation regions. high detected could be consequence poor dispersal ability, local adaptation, or marked female...
Abstract The sensory drive hypothesis of speciation predicts that divergence in communication systems will occur when environments differ and this can ultimately promote speciation. factors affecting geographic evolution acoustic signals remain poorly understood, especially the contexts high gene flow. This study investigated variation patterns peak frequency emitted by Chinese endemic Myotis davidii on a broad scale evaluating relative importance morphological, environmental, geographic,...
Abstract One of the most efficient mechanisms to optimize signal-to-noise ratios is Lombard effect - an involuntary rise in call amplitude due ambient noise. It often accompanied by changes spectro-temporal composition calls. We examined effects broadband-filtered noise on horseshoe bat echolocation calls, which consist a constant-frequency component and initial terminal frequency-modulated portion. find that components became larger for almost all conditions, whereas bandwidth increased...
We evaluated the role of statins in patients who underwent surgery for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and had dyslipidemia, as use has been suggested to improve outcomes RCC.Two-center retrospective study with dyslipidemia RCC from 7/1995 6/2005. Patients were managed by or ezetimibe, fibrate agents, cholestyramine. Analysis was conducted between received statin therapy versus those that did not. Primary outcome progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary cancer-specific (CSS) overall (OS)....
Renal solitary extramedullary plasmacytomas belong to a group of plasma cell neoplasms, which generally have been associated with renal carcinoma. We present case report patient collision tumor histology plasmacytoma and clear carcinoma, the first in known literature. Standard work-up for neoplasm was conducted mass resected. The remains disease-free at 28 months post-surgery. calls into question pre-surgical biopsy protocol suggests relationship between carcinoma neoplasms.
The aim of this study was to compare outcomes laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) and multiport laparoscopic (MPL) radical nephrectomy (RN) for clinical T1b/T2a renal masses, as concerns continue regarding suitability benefit LESS larger masses.Retrospective single-surgeon comparison LESS- MPL-RN between 7/2005 11/2014. Sixty-three patients underwent LESS-RN (44 cT1b/19 cT2a); 133 MPL (83 cT1b/50 cT2a). All were managed with a standardized care pathway. Primary outcome length...
