Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Hypothermia-Induced Neuroprotection by Yasushi Shintani, Yasuko Terao, Hiroyuki Ohta

“…There is now compelling clinical evidence that prolonged, moderate cerebral hypothermia initiated within a few hours after severe ischemia can reduce subsequent neuronal death and improve behavioral recovery. The neuroprotective role of hypothermia is also well established in experimental animals. …”

You can(’t) take it with you: the anthropological analysis of the individuals from burials dated with coins (14th–15th centuries) from the mediaeval cemetery at Buftea by Știrbu, F., Vasile, G.

“…First and foremost, the research focused on determining the demographic profile of this skeletal sample, establishing the minimum number of individuals, determining the anthropological sex, and estimating the age‑at‑death of the individuals. In order to reconstruct the biological profile of the population, cranial and postcranial measurements were performed ; based on the latter, the skeletal stature and weight of the individuals could be calculated. …”

Multidrug Resistance: An Emerging Crisis by Jyoti Tanwar, Shrayanee Das, Zeeshan Fatima, Saif Hameed

“…Due to the pacing advent of new resistance mechanisms and decrease in efficiency of treating common infectious diseases, it results in failure of microbial response to standard treatment, leading to prolonged illness, higher expenditures for health care, and an immense risk of death. Almost all the capable infecting agents (e.g., bacteria, fungi, virus, and parasite) have employed high levels of multidrug resistance (MDR) with enhanced morbidity and mortality; thus, they are referred to as “super bugs.” …”

Introduction: Intergenerational Transmissions of Infant Mortality using the Intermediate Data Structure (IDS) by Luciana Quaranta, Hilde Leikny Sommerseth

“…It has previously been shown that infant mortality clusters in a subset of families, a phenomenon which was observed in historical populations as well as contemporary developing countries. A transmission of death clustering across generations has also been shown in Belgium, but it is unknown whether such effects are specific to the studied context or are also found in other areas. …”
