Shared prognostic information in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – systematic assessment of the patients’ perception of neurofilament light chain and the ALS functional rating scale... by Lukas Maximilian Möhwald, André Maier, Torsten Grehl, Ute Weyen, Patrick Weydt, René Günther, Paul Lingor, Bettina Göricke, Susanne Petri, Julian Grosskreutz, Matthias Boentert, Isabell Cordts, Jochen H. Weishaupt, Johannes Dorst, Christoph Münch, Thomas Meyer, Petra Baum

“…The recommendation of NfL and ALSFRS-R to fellow patients was assessed using the Net Promoter Score (NPS). Burden by shared information was investigated in two distinct settings: (1) clinic information when receiving results on NfL and/or ALSFRS-R during clinic visits and (2) remote information about NfL values and self-rating of the ALSFRS-R via the ALS app. …”

Relationship between regional relative theta power and amyloid deposition in mild cognitive impairment: an exploratory study by Jaesub Park, Jaesub Park, Woo Jung Kim, Woo Jung Kim, Han Wool Jung, Han Wool Jung, Jae-Jin Kim, Jae-Jin Kim, Jin Young Park, Jin Young Park, Jin Young Park

“…Correlations between relative theta power and standardized uptake value ratios (SUVRs) in 12 brain regions were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation coefficient.ResultsSignificant positive correlations between relative theta power and SUVR values were found in several brain regions in the individualized brain model during the resting eyes-closed condition, including right temporal lobe (r = 0.581, p = 0.006), left hippocampus (r = 0.438, p = 0.047), left parietal lobe (r = 0.471, p = 0.031), right parietal lobe (r = 0.509, p = 0.018), left occipital lobe (r = 0.597, p = 0.004), and right occipital lobe (r = 0.590, p = 0.005). …”

Clinical outcome analysis for surgical fixation versus conservative treatment on rib fractures: a systematic evaluation and meta-analysis by Penglong Zhao, Qiyue Ge, Haotian Zheng, Jing Luo, Xiaobin Song, Liwen Hu

“…Methods We searched six online databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and the Sino-American Clinical Trials Database) for literature published between June 2004 and June 2024. The Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) and the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS) tool were employed to assess methodological quality, and relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to evaluate the outcome measures. …”

The evolutionarily diverged single-stranded DNA-binding proteins SSB1/SSB2 differentially affect the replication, recombination and mutation of organellar genomes in Arabidopsis th... by Weidong Zhu, Jie Qian, Yingke Hou, Luke R. Tembrock, Liyun Nie, Yi-Feng Hsu, Yong Xiang, Yi Zou, Zhiqiang Wu

“…In this study, phylogenetic, gene structure and protein motif analyses all suggested that SSB1 and SSB2 probably diverged during the early evolution of seed plants. Based on accurate long-read sequencing results, ssb1 and ssb2 mutants had decreased copy numbers for both mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and plastid DNA (ptDNA), accompanied by a slight increase in structural rearrangements mediated by intermediate-sized repeats in mt genome and small-scale variants in both genomes. …”

Propionate metabolism in Desulfurella acetivorans by Eugenio Pettinato, Thomas M. Steiner, Eric A. Cassens, Thomas Geisberger, Christian Seitz, Simone König, Wolfgang Eisenreich, Ivan A. Berg

“…However, activities of the methylcitrate cycle enzymes could not be detected in extracts of propionate-grown cells, and experiments with [U-13C3]propionate and comparative proteomic analysis of acetate- and propionate-grown cells suggested that the methylcitrate cycle is not active during propionate growth. Instead, propionyl-CoA assimilation proceeds via its carboxylation to methylmalonyl-CoA, which is further converted to succinyl-CoA. …”
