A composite measurement concept for monitoring cardiac function in Fabry disease by Pooja Nandi, Robert Ellis, Jennifer Hiros, Paul Howard, Biliana O. Veleva-Rotse

“…The clinician advisory board noted a lack of specific diagnostic, monitoring, and prognosis (especially cardiac) tools in FD. The composite measurement concept was developed to capture the signs and symptoms most important to people living with FD, alongside heart-rate variability, electrocardiograms, blood pressure, and quality of life as relevant measures within the cardiac domain that can be staged in a progression model with clear group boundaries. …”

Temperate Forest Floor Bryophytes Functionally Respond to Small‐Scale Variability in Water, Light and Nutrient Availability by T. J. Deilmann, M. Bernhardt‐Römermann, J. Hentschel, P. Gros, C. Römermann

“…Scots pine) on trait composition seemed less important. Mixed effects models across all species revealed that traits were very sensitive to within‐forest small‐scale variability; for example, leaves per cm or in situ fluorescence were positively related to increasing plot‐level characteristics such as leaf area index and throughfall, again with growth form‐specific responses. …”

Single-neuron spiking variability in hippocampus dynamically tracks sensory content during memory formation in humans by Leonhard Waschke, Fabian Kamp, Evi van den Elzen, Suresh Krishna, Ulman Lindenberger, Ueli Rutishauser, Douglas D. Garrett

“…Using computational modelling and human single-neuron recordings, we show that the more precisely hippocampal spiking variability tracks the composite features of each individual stimulus, the better those stimuli are later remembered. …”
