Sexual dimorphism in root exudation mediates belowground neighbor recognition and shapes rhizosphere soil microbial assembly

Summary Sexual dimorphism in physiological traits is a hallmark of dioecious plants, yet whether these differences extend belowground to mediate neighbor recognition and rhizosphere microbiome assembly remains largely unexplored. Using split‐root experiments, 13 C‐pulse labeling,...

Reducing complications after resection of pelvic bone sarcomas

Aims: Primary pelvic bone sarcomas are rare and their treatment remains complex, with reconstruction after resection remaining controversial due to high complication and revision rates. Both prosthetic and non-prosthetic reconstructions carry risks including infection, implant fa...

Lipids and apolipoproteins affect the risk of ST-elevation and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarctions differently in type 1 diabetes: a nationwide finnish cohort study

Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) has become the main myocardial infarction subtype in type 1 diabetes compared to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), accounting for nearly 80% of myocardial infarction-related hospitalizations. Yet, prior studies in type 1 d...

Myopia prevalence in Finland doubled from 1930s to 1950s birth cohorts and is linked to educational attainment

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of myopia and factors associated with the increase of myopia prevalence in Finland between two generations and discuss the reasons why myopia has not increased similarly as in many Asian countries. METHODS: A que...
