Pandemic H1N1 influenza A virus is spreading worldwide. We report a case of electrical storm during H1N1 influenza A infection in a patient with congenital long-QT syndrome (LQTS) that was previously stable on β-blocker therapy. Possible causes for the association of A flu and LQTS recurrent ventricular arrhythmias are discussed.

Owing to the limited validity of clinical data on the treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) and bone metastases, biochemical markers are a promising tool for predicting survival, disease progression and skeletal-related events (SREs) in these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive capacity of biochemical markers of bone turnover for mortality risk, disease progression and SREs in patients with PCa and bone metastases undergoing treatment with zoledronic acid (ZA). This was an observational, ...

According to the immunocompetence hypothesis, testosterone stimulates the expression of male sexually selected traits while decreasing immunocompetence. This proposed trade-off was studied by experimental supplementation of testosterone to small, subordinate, dull-colored male lizards, Psammodromus algirus. Experimental males showed a tendency to overlap their home range with fewer small males than did control males and tended to be more aggressive. However, control males were observed more frequently ...

Abstract Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a pathogenic fungus that undergoes a temperature‐dependent cell morphology change from mycelium (22° C) to yeast (36° C). It is assumed that this morphological transition correlates with the infection of the human host. Our goal was to identify genes expressed in the mycelium (M) and yeast (Y) forms by EST sequencing in order to generate a partial map of the fungus transcriptome. Individual EST sequences were clustered by the CAP3 program and annotated using ...

It has been suggested that the amount of maternal testosterone allocated into the eggs might be implicated in the process of sex determination. However, recent findings on the effect that female social rank has on the level of egg testosterone suggest that reported associations between male-biased sex ratios and yolk testosterone may represent an indirect hormonal effect mediated by the interdependence among maternal hormones, female social rank, and sex ratio. Here, we report the results of a field ...

The production of waste has increased over the years and, lacking a recycle or recovery solution, it is forwarded to landfill. The incorporation of wastes in cement-based materials is a solution to reduce waste deposition. In this regard, some researchers have been studying the incorporation of wastes with different functions: aggregate, binder and addition. The incorporation of wastes should take advantage of their characteristics. It requires a judicious analysis of their particles. This research ...

Modern wireless communication systems rely heavily on multiple antennas and their corresponding signal processing to achieve optimal performance. As 5G and 6G networks emerge, beamforming and beam management become increasingly complex due to factors such as user mobility, a higher number of antennas, and the adoption of elevated frequencies. Artificial intelligence, specifically machine learning, offers a valuable solution to mitigate this complexity and minimize the overhead associated with beam ...

Both attractiveness judgements and mate preferences vary considerably cross-culturally. We investigated whether men's preference for femininity in women's faces varies between 28 countries with diverse health conditions by analysing responses of 1972 heterosexual participants. Although men in all countries preferred feminized over masculinized female faces, we found substantial differences between countries in the magnitude of men's preferences. Using an average femininity preference for each country, ...

Adjustment of offspring sex ratios should be favoured by natural selection when parents are capable of facultatively altering brood sex ratios and of recognizing the circumstances that predict the probable fitness benefit of producing sons and daughters. Although experimental studies have shown that female birds may adjust offspring sex ratios in response to changes in their own condition and in the external appearance of their mate, and male attributes other than his external morphology are also ...

Provenance and production of tin in the Ancient World has since long been a major topic of discussion among archaeologists. In Western Europe, where significant tin ore (cassiterite) deposits are known, only a few remains of ancient tin production, such as tin slags, have been detected.

The effects of exogenous testosterone on the breeding biology of avian females are largely unknown. One unanswered question is whether testosterone has a role in female mating strategies affecting, for example, the rate of extrapair offspring (EPO) obtained. We experimentally increased circulating testosterone in females of a free-ranging population of the spotless starling, Sturnus unicolor, and measured rates of mixed paternity in their broods. Females treated with exogenous testosterone had a ...

The aim was to examine the bidirectional association between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and fatness in a 2‐year longitudinal study conducted in young people. A total of 1082 children (512 females) and 727 adolescents (342 females) with complete data at baseline and follow‐up were included. CRF was determined by the 20‐m shuttle run test. Height and weight were measured, and body mass index and fat mass index (kg/m 2 ) were calculated. Triceps and subscapular skinfolds were assessed to compute body ...

The upper Sinemurian to Pliensbachian series of the Lusitanian Basin (Portugal) correspond to marly limestone sediments rich in benthic and nektonic macrofauna. This sedimentary record includes several intervals of organicrich facies, which are particularly well developed in the western sectors of the basin. They correspond to grey and dark marls locally showing strong lamination (black shale type) and are recognized as one of the most important potential oil source rocks. This study shows the vertical ...

Abstract We investigated possible pre-hatching mechanisms of sex-differential investment by females that may contribute to offspring sex-ratio adjustment enhancing the fitness return from reproductive effort in the spotless starling (Sturnus unicolor). We found a seasonal shift in sex ratio from daughters to sons as the season advances. Furthermore, the probability of breeding at 1-year old and recruitment into the breeding population in daughters is associated with laying date but not with mass ...
