Chest circumference (CC), abdominal circumference (AC), and waist circumference (WC) are regarded as important indicators for improving economic traits because they can reflect the growth and physiological status in pigs. However, the genetic architecture of CC, AC, and WC is still elusive. Here, we performed single-trait and multi-trait genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for CC, AC, and WC in 2206 American origin Duroc (AOD) and 2082 Canadian origin Duroc (COD) pigs. As a result, one novel...

Geert-Jan Geersing and colleagues assess the capability of ruling-out pulmonary embolism by available diagnostic strategies across a range of healthcare settings.

This randomized clinical trial compares the effect of continuous positive airway pressure or high-flow nasal oxygen vs conventional oxygen therapy on clinical o

This case series describes clinical characteristics, health services use, and outcomes of patients with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cared for

Brain metastases are among the most severe complications of systemic breast cancer, and overexpression of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cancer cells increases the incidence of brain metastases in patients. In this study, we engineered the human-derived, tumor cell tropic neural stem cells LM-NSC008 (LM008) to continuously secrete antibodies against HER2. These anti-HER2 antibodies impaired tumor cell proliferation by inhibiting the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway in HE...

Mie Agermose Gram and co-workers study the effectiveness of heterologous SARS-CoV-2 vaccine combinations in the Danish population.

This multicenter randomized clinical trial assesses the effect of use of a tracheal tube introducer vs an endotracheal tube with stylet on successful intubation

Urbanization has led to drastic changes to hydrologic systems due to the replacement of vegetated areas with impervious surfaces, modification of overall water and sediment budgets, and a decrease in stream complexity. Ponte, S. et al.'s study identifies whether transpiration rates of urban trees of

Amniocentesis is an invasive prenatal diagnostic technique that can provide genetic information of fetus for pregnant women and give them a choice.
