Size distribution of extracellular vesicles in pretreatment ascites and plasma is correlated with primary treatment outcome in advanced high-grade serous carcinoma by Maruša Herzog, Ivan Verdenik, Borut Kobal, Katarina Černe

“…Our results indicate that the EV size distribution in ascites has the potential to predict resection success after primary cytoreductive surgery and that the EV size distribution of the smallest EVs in plasma might help predict the chemotherapy response of patients treated with NACT. In the future, molecular analyses of size-dependent EV cargo could provide more insight into their biological functions and potential as predictive biomarkers.…”

Dairy cows' responses to 2 separation methods after 3 months of cow-calf contact by Anina Vogt, Susanne Waiblinger, Rupert Palme, Uta König von Borstel, Kerstin Barth

“…ABSTRACT: Weaning and separation remain among some of the biggest challenges for cow-calf contact systems, making the development of practical and low-stress separation methods mandatory for future success of these systems. This study aimed to compare behavioral and physiological responses of dairy cows to separation from their calves after 3 mo of full-time contact, with either the 2-step method (NF, 2 wks full-time contact while calves wore a nose flap, 1 wk fence-line contact before total separation, n = 18) or by gradual reduction of contact time between cow and calf (GR, 1 wk half day contact, 1 wk morning contact, 1 wk fence-line contact before total separation, n = 18). …”

Perceived stress, trust, safety and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection among patients discharged from hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic’s first wave: a PREMs survey by Henk Verloo, Eric Bonvin, Nadine Tacchini-Jacquier, Sevrine Monnay

“…Associations were found between SARS-CoV-2 infected participants and the perceived SARS-CoV-2 severity score (Rs=−0.087), between trust scores and feelings of safety (Rs=0.147), and perceived severity of a SARS-CoV-2 infection (Rs=0.123).Discussion The results indicated that inpatients experienced significant feelings of stress regarding perceived symptoms of the illness, yet this did not affect their feelings of safety, trust in healthcare staff or perception of the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Future patient-reported experience measures research is needed to give a voice to healthcare users and facilitate comparison measures internationally.…”
