Les effets paradoxaux du transfert des forces de sécurité en Tunisie (juin 1955-mars 1956) by Khansa Ben Tarjem

“…Although they held the reins of the Tunisian government, the Bourguibists depended on French tutelage and police resources to repress their rivals while negotiating with France the conditions for Tunisia's emancipation.To explain this paradox, this article puts forward the hypothesis that the Yussefist opposition to the internal autonomy treaty contributed not only to the transfer of the law enforcement apparatus but also to the acceleration of independence. …”

Double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of late gestation oral melatonin supplementation in reducing induction of labour rates in nulliparo... by Miranda Davies-Tuck, Emily Callander, Mary Sharp, Scott W White, Dorota A Doherty, Jane Warland, Zoe Bradfield, Lesley Kuliukas, Monique Rose, Amber Pettitt, Kylie Ekin, JA Keelan

“…Melatonin potentiates the action of oxytocin and may promote the spontaneous onset of labour; therefore, we will test the hypothesis that exogenous melatonin supplementation in late pregnancy will reduce the rate of labour induction by 30% or more.Methods and analyses This is a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial in nulliparous pregnant women to reduce IOL rates. …”

Coexistence of multiple leaf nutrient resorption strategies in urban forests by Pin Li, Zejin Wang, Kun Ran

“…Elemental variability declined as element concentrations rose in both peri-urban and urban forests, consistent with the relevance of the Stability of Limiting Elements Hypothesis in urban ecosystems. Overall, these data emphasize the fact that multiple nutrient resorption strategies coexist in urban ecosystems, while also supporting the nutrient-dependent nature of these strategies.…”

Machine learning models reveal microbial signatures in healthy human tissues, challenging the sterility of human organs by Anargyros Skoulakis, Anargyros Skoulakis, Giorgos Skoufos, Giorgos Skoufos, Armen Ovsepian, Armen Ovsepian, Artemis G. Hatzigeorgiou, Artemis G. Hatzigeorgiou

“…The discoveries presented here confront the enduring dogma positing the sterility of internal tissues, yet further validation through controlled laboratory experiments is imperative to substantiate this hypothesis. Exploring the microbiome of internal tissues holds promise for elucidating the pathophysiology underlying both health and a spectrum of diseases, including sepsis, inflammation, and cancer.…”

Early selective attention to the articulating mouth as a potential female-specific marker of better language development in autism: a review by Itziar Lozano, Charlotte Viktorsson, Elena Capelli, Teodora Gliga, Valentina Riva, Przemysław Tomalski

“…Female infants look at the mouth of a talking face more than males without penalizing looking to the eyes, and reduced mouth-looking in early infancy relates to better vocabulary in toddlerhood only in females. In this hypothesis and theory article, we propose that unique female gaze patterns to the mouth may constitute an early female-specific candidate marker that acts as a protective marker for language development also in autism. …”

Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Connective Tissue-Related Symptoms: An Exploratory Case-Control Study in Children by Leonardo Zoccante, Gianfranco Di Gennaro, Erika Rigotti, Marco Luigi Ciceri, Andrea Sbarbati, Marco Zaffanello

“…The familial prevalence of these symptoms suggests a potential genetic underpinning, further supporting the hypothesis of shared aetiological pathways. These insights underscore the need for interdisciplinary research to explore the mechanisms linking neurodevelopmental and connective tissue disorders, aiming to improve diagnosis and management strategies.…”

Mendelian Randomization Reveals Potential Causal Relationships Between DNA Damage Repair-Related Genes and Inflammatory Bowel Disease by Zhihao Qi, Quan Li, Shuhua Yang, Chun Fu, Burong Hu

“…Colocalization analysis was employed to evaluate whether a single genetic variant simultaneously influences two traits, thereby validating the pleiotropy hypothesis. <b>Results:</b> We identified seven DDR-related genes (<i>Arid5b</i>, <i>Cox5a</i>, <i>Erbb2</i>, <i>Ube2l3</i>, <i>Gpx1</i>, <i>H2bcl2</i>, and <i>Mapk3</i>), 33 DNA methylation genes, and two DDR-related proteins (CD274 and FCGR2A) which were all causally associated with IBD and its subtypes. …”

Pleiotrophin deletion prevents high-fat diet-induced cognitive impairment, glial responses, and alterations of the perineuronal nets in the hippocampus by Héctor Cañeque-Rufo, Teresa Fontán-Baselga, Milagros Galán-Llario, Agata Zuccaro, María Gracia Sánchez-Alonso, Esther Gramage, María del Pilar Ramos-Álvarez, Gonzalo Herradón

“…Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a cytokine that regulates energy metabolism and high-fat diet (HFD)-induced neuroinflammation, suggesting that PTN could play an important role in the connection between obesity and brain alterations, including cognitive decline. To test this hypothesis, we used an HFD-induced obesity model in Ptn genetically deficient mice (Ptn−/−). …”
