A large-sample modelling approach towards integrating streamflow and evaporation data for the Spanish catchments by P. Yeste, P. Yeste, P. Yeste, M. García-Valdecasas Ojeda, M.

“…Results from the two calibration experiments suggested that, while the streamflow performance remained close in both cases, the evaporation performance was highly improved if the objectives for streamflow and evaporation were combined into a single composite function during optimization. The VIC model outperformed the reference benchmark, and the independent meteorological datasets yielded a slight to moderate loss in model performance depending on the calibration experiment considered. …”

Acute Coronary Syndrome in Patients With 2 Type Diabetes Mellitus (Review of Literature; Description of the Clinical Case) by Bilous Z., Abrahamovych О., Mazur N., Ryabokon S., Ilenkiv N., Bevza N.

“…The absence of pain in the cardiac area is due to the neuropathy of the nerves branched out in the cardiac muscle, and the absence of an initial irritation signal during ischemia, as well as myocardial infarction with necrosis of the sensitive receptors. The absence of pain means the loss of the limiting factor of physical activity, which, accordingly, increases the risk of acute myocardial infarction and sudden cardiogenic death in diabetic patients. …”

Myosin7a deficiency results in reduced retinal activity which is improved by gene therapy. by Pasqualina Colella, Andrea Sommella, Elena Marrocco, Umberto Di Vicino, Elena Polishchuk, Marina Garcia Garrido, Mathias W Seeliger, Roman Polishchuk, Alberto Auricchio

“…A promising therapeutic strategy for retinitis pigmentosa is gene therapy, however its pre-clinical development is limited by the mild retinal phenotype of the shaker1 (sh1(-/-)) murine model of USH1B which lacks both retinal functional abnormalities and degeneration. Here we report a significant, early-onset delay of sh1(-/-) photoreceptor ability to recover from light desensitization as well as a progressive reduction of both b-wave electroretinogram amplitude and light sensitivity, in the absence of significant loss of photoreceptors up to 12 months of age. …”

The significance of miR-142 in tumor progression of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma by E. N. Voropaeva, O. B. Seregina, M. S. Voytko, T. N. Babaeva, N. V. Skvortsova, V. N. Maksimov, T. I. Pospelova

“…The purpose of the review is to summarize data on the miR-142 role in the tumor progression of one of the most common lymphoproliferative diseases – diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.MicroRNA miR-142 has a broad spectrum of tumor-suppressor functions by targeting a number of important protooncogenes, the loss of control over which contributes to enhanced proliferation, blocking apoptosis, activating B-lymphocyte survival signaling pathways, metabolic reprogramming, creating an immunosuppressive microenvironment and tumor evasion of immune surveillance, as well as dissemination of malignant cells.Information on the nomenclature and mechanisms of miR-142 formation, the participation of miR-142 in hematopoiesis are provided, the pathogenetic role and relationship between the miR-142 expression profile and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma are analyzed, and miR-142 molecular genetic abnormalities in this disease are discussed.…”

Association of Family Well-Being Parenting Style and Child Care in Southern Division Kabale District. by Niyomigisha, Saviour

“…Research findings showed that family well-being includes the safety, health, and financial stability of all family members, promoting well-being involves understanding and addressing child, youth, and caregiver functioning in physical, behavioral, social, and cognitive areas, clearly the most important characteristic is the health status of the parents, which declines with age, that marital status, employment, and the presence of young children in the household are three factors that often are thought to be associated with a decreased ability or willingness of daughters to provide care, Parents/caregivers have been forced to figure out ways to meet their families' most basic needs despite job insecurity, income loss, acute concerns about health and safety, emotional distress among both parents/caregivers and their children is higher in families facing more material hardship. …”
