Survey of gut microbial biogeography and their functional niche in the grow-finishing swine of ordinary feeding by Lili Cao, Lili Cao, Wei Guo, Shiyu Yang, Shiyu Yang, Anum Ali Ahmad, Yuntao Dong, Cen Gong, Shuoqi Wang, Xuemin Yang, Zhentao Cheng, Zhihong Yan, Zhihong Yan, Weiwei Wang

“…While extensive research has focused on the fecal microbiota of swine, investigations into microbial communities across different intestinal segments remain limited.ObjectiveThis study aims to elucidate the intestinal microbiota of swine by analyzing luminal contents from different intestinal segments, including the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, and colon.MethodsWe employed 16S rRNA sequencing to explore the diversity and structure of gut microbial biogeography, microbial functional niches, and their associated pathways.ResultsOur findings reveal significantly lower microbial richness and diversity in the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum) compared to the large intestine (cecum and colon) (p < 0.05). …”

Sensory–Cognitive Profiles in Children with ADHD: Exploring Perceptual–Motor, Auditory, and Oculomotor Function by Danjela Ibrahimi, Marcos Aviles, Rafael Rojas-Galván, Juvenal Rodríguez Reséndiz

“…Objective: This observational cross-sectional study aimed to comprehensively evaluate sensory–cognitive performance in children diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), with a focus on auditory processing, visual–perceptual abilities, visual–motor integration, and oculomotor function. The study further examined how hyperactivity, age, and gender may influence these domains. …”

Functional traits and habitat use: Investigating community assembly in a montane community (Carabidae: Nebria) by Jillian K. Schat, David H. Kavanaugh, Jacki Whisenant, Genevieve Anderegg, Huijun Xiao, Sean D. Schoville

“…Abstract The processes that influence community assembly, such as competition for resources and environmental filtering, are often scale dependent and vary across ecotones. Trait‐based ecology provides a useful framework for testing which ecological processes most strongly influence local community composition, especially across environmental gradients where species diversity varies. …”

Depth-dependent contributions of various vascular zones to cerebral autoregulation and functional hyperemia: An in-silico analysis. by Hadi Esfandi, Mahshad Javidan, Rozalyn M Anderson, Ramin Pashaie

“…However, temporal alterations in capillary diameter contribute moderately to cerebral autoregulation and minimally to functional hyperemia. In addition, hemodynamic analysis shows that while hemodynamics within capillaries remain relatively stable across all cortical depths throughout the entire autoregulation range, significant variability in hemodynamics can be observed within the first few branch orders of precapillary arterioles or transitional zone vessels. …”
