Approaches to tube weaning enterally fed children and evaluating outcomes vary widely. This limits the utility of research for identifying both "what works" and successful implementation of research outcomes. We used a qualitative scoping review methodology to examine internationally published research. Our primary aim was to identify the main philosophies underpinning intervention design and the main outcome variables used to demonstrate success of existing programs. This information can be used to inform future research design and clinical practice. Literature up until June 2019 was sourced via Medline, Scopus, Ovid, and CINHAL databases; hand searching; and gray literature using Google Advanced Search. Three predominant approaches to tube-weaning interventions were identified behavioral, child- and family-centered, and biomedical. A wide range of intervention variables were identified, with the level of parental involvement and the use of hunger provocation varying between approaches. Our Review also confirms that there is no consistency in outcome measures used, limiting comparability between programs. We suggest that the role of parents in the weaning process and its impact on both the child and the parent/carer while transitioning from enteral to oral eating are insufficiently understood. We discuss these findings in the context of a suggested framework for future research. © 2020 American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition.The time frame and geographical patterns of diversification processes in European temperate-montane herbs are still not well understood. We used the sexual species of the Ranunculus auricomus complex as a model system to understand how vicariance vs. dispersal processes in the context of Pleistocene climatic fluctuations have triggered speciation in temperate-montane plant species. We employed Target Enrichment sequence data from about 600 nuclear genes and coalescent-based species tree inference methods to resolve phylogenetic relationships among the sexual taxa of the complex. MZ-1 research buy We estimated absolute divergence times and, using ancestral range reconstruction, we tested if speciation was rather enhanced by vicariance or dispersal processes. Phylogenetic relationships among taxa were fully resolved with some incongruence in the position of the tetraploid R. marsicus. Speciation events took place in a very short time at the end of the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (830-580 ka). A second wave of intraspecific geographical differentiation happened at the end of the Riss glaciation or during the Eemian interglacial between 200-100 ka. Ancestral range reconstruction suggests a widespread European ancestor of the R. auricomus complex. Vicariance has triggered allopatric speciation in temperate-montane plant species during the climatic deterioration occurring in the last phase of the Mid-Pleistocene Transition. Vegetation restructuring from forest into tundra could have confined these forest species into isolated glacial macro- and microrefugia. During subsequent warming periods, range expansions of these species could have been hampered by apomictic derivatives and by other congeneric competitors in the same habitat.

The Treatment-of-Autoimmune-Bullous Disease-Quality-of-Life (TABQOL) score is weakly correlated to pemphigus OSS (PDAI R=0.086) and does not change during the course of treatment.

METHODS Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), we categorized participants into weight change categories based on their recalled weight during young adulthood and midlife. We estimated the association of weight change and developing an arthritis condition over 10 years using adjusted Cox models. Findings were extrapolated to the US population to determine the proportion of incident arthritis cases that could be averted if the entire population maintained a normal BMI in young adulthood and midlife. RESULTS Among our sample of adults who were 40-69 years old at their midlife weight measure (n=13,669), 3,603 developed an arthritis condition. Compared with adults who maintained a normal-normal BMI, the normal-overweight, normal-obese, overweight-obese, and obese-obese groups had significantly elevated risk of incident arthritis conditions. The obese-overweight group had lower risk of incident arthritis conditions compared with the obese-obese group and comparable risk to the overweight-overweight group. Nearly one quarter of incident arthritis cases, corresponding to 2.7 million individuals, would have been averted under the hypothetical scenario where all individuals maintained normal weight from young adulthood to midlife. CONCLUSION Weight loss from young adulthood to midlife was associated with substantially reduced risk of developing an arthritis condition. We found no evidence of residual risk from having been heavier earlier in life. Our findings highlight the critical need to expand obesity treatment and prevention to achieve meaningful reductions in the burden of arthritis. This article is protected by copyright.

It is considered one of the most significant transboundary infectious diseases and represents an animal health concern in developing countries. Spain is considered a PPR-free country. Nevertheless, given its geographical proximity to countries in North Africa where PPR virus (PPRV) has been circulating in recent years, the south of Spain can be considered a risk area for the introduction of PPRV. The aim of the present study was to assess circulation of PPRV in domestic and wild ruminant species in this country. During the period 2015-2017, a total of 910 sera from domestic, wild and captive ruminants were analysed using a commercial blocking ELISA to detect antibodies against PPRV. MZ-1 research buy None of the 910 (0.0%; 95% CI 0.0-0.3) animals tested were positive for anti-PPRV antibodies. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first serosurvey study of PPR in Spain.
