DEGs in hippocampus were enriched for genes associated with ciliary function, all 21 genes in this category showed lower expression in domestic rabbits. These results indicate an important role of dopamine signaling and ciliary function in the evolution of tameness during rabbit domestication. Our study shows that gene expression in specific pathways has been profoundly altered during domestication, but that the majority of genes showing differential expression in this study have not been the direct targets of selection.This case report describes the innovative design and build of an algorithm that integrates available data from separate hospital-based informatics systems, which perform different daily functions to augment the contact-tracing process of COVID-19 patients by identifying exposed neighboring patients and healthcare workers and assessing their risk. Prior to the establishment of the algorithm, contact-tracing teams comprising 6 members would spend up to 10 hours each to complete contact tracing for 5 new COVID-19 patients. With the augmentation by the algorithm, we observed ≥ 60% savings in overall man-hours needed for contact tracing when there were 5 or more daily new cases through a time-motion study and Monte Carlo simulation. This improvement to the hospital's contact-tracing process supported more expeditious and comprehensive downstream contact-tracing activities as well as improved manpower utilization in contact tracing.

The association between arterial stiffness and clinical outcome in lateralized primary aldosteronism (PA) patients after adrenalectomy has not been clearly identified.

We hypothesized that arterial stiffness estimated by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) before adrenalectomy was associated with the clinical outcomes and cardiorenal injury in lateralized PA patients after adrenalectomy.

We designed a retrospective observational cohort study. We collected lateralized PA patients who had undergone adrenalectomy between 2013 and 2016 from the Taiwan Primary Aldosteronism Investigation database. The primary outcome was achieving complete clinical success at 1 year after adrenalectomy. The secondary outcome was estimated glomerular filtration rate declining over 20% and improved left ventricular mass index.

We enrolled 221 patients with lateralized PA (50.7% men; mean age, 51.9 years), of whom 101 patients (45.7%) achieved complete clinical success at the 1-year follow-up assessment after adrenalecclinical success in lateralized PA patients after adrenalectomy, and this effect may contribute to cardiorenal injury, which at least partially explains kidney function deterioration and lessened regression of heart mass.

Adjuvant chemotherapy is a standard treatment option for patients with stage III and high-risk stage II colon cancer. Sex is one of several factors responsible for the wide inter-patient variability in drug responses. Amalgamated data on the effect of sex on the toxicity of current standard adjuvant treatment for colorectal cancer are missing.

Objective of our study was to compare incidence and severity of major toxicities of fluoropyrimidine- (5-FU or capecitabine) based adjuvant chemotherapy, with or without oxaliplatin, between male and female patients after curative surgery for colon cancer. Adult patients enrolled in 27 relevant randomized trials included in the ACCENT database, a large, multi-group, international data repository containing individual patient data, were included. Comparisons were conducted using logistic regression models (stratified by study and treatment arm) within each type of adjuvant chemotherapy (5FU, FOLFOX, Capecitabine, CAPOX, and FOLFIRI). The following major toxicities we 1.55, 95% CI = 1.37 to 1.76, p-value <.001, FOLFOX OR = 1.96, 95% CI = 1.71 to 2.25, p-value <.001, FOLFIRI OR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.66 to 2.43, p-value <.001, Capecitabine OR = 4.07, 95% CI = 1.84 to 8.99, p-value <.001] and leukopenia [5FU OR = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.40 to 2.17, p-value <.001, FOLFIRI OR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.28 to 2.40, p-value <.001]), were observed, with women being consistently at increased risk.

Our analysis confirms that women with colon cancer receiving adjuvant fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy are at increased risk of toxicity. Given the known sex differences in fluoropyrimidine pharmacokinetics, sex-specific dosing of fluoropyrimidines warrants further investigation.

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with a P2Y12 inhibitor on top of aspirin is the cornerstone of therapy after acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Nonetheless, the safest and most efficacious P2Y12 for older patients who are both at high ischemic and bleeding risk remains uncertain. We aimed to examine the effect of available P2Y12 inhibitors on ischemic and bleeding endpoints in older adults with ACS.

Randomized clinical trials that reported separately the results of adults older >70 years for at least the primary endpoint (composite of death, myocardial infarction [MI] and stroke). Seven studies (14,485 patients-years) were included. Network meta-analysis showed that prasugrel was associated with similar occurrence of the primary endpoint and of a secondary ischemic endpoint (composite of MI and stroke) and was most likely the best treatment (Surface Under the Cumulative Ranking curve Analysis [SUCRA] 54.5 and 59.8, respectively). With regards to major bleedings, clopidogrel showed the highest likelihood of event reduction (SUCRA 70.1%) while ticagrelor of stent thrombosis (SUCRA 55.6%). Our meta-regression with a fixed proportion of patients managed invasively of 100% confirmed these trends with increasing SUCRA.

Among older subjects with ACS, DAPT should be balanced upon ischemic and bleeding risks as prasugrel is associated with the highest probability of reduction of ischemic events and clopidogrel of bleedings. Ticagrelor had highest SUCRA for stent thrombosis reduction but seems suboptimal in older adults.
