Better Later Than Never: Meaning in Late Life

Nancy A. Pachana, Roy F. Baumeister

Summary: The quest for meaning in life takes new challenges and directions during late life, with key themes such as limited remaining time, concern with legacy, self-continuity and integration, challenges to self-worth, and prioritization of positivity emerging as important factors.

Retrospective cohort study of individuals born with low birthweight: implications for screening practices

Xixi Zhao, Andrea K. Kratzke, Fatima Ballout, Robert E. Kimura, Sara E. Jandeska

Summary: The study found that LBW is associated with significantly lower GFR in adolescence and young adulthood compared to NBW infants. This difference is particularly pronounced in the extremely low birthweight group (ELBW).

Association of the FCN2 Gene Promoter Region Polymorphisms with Very Low Birthweight in Preterm Neonates

Agnieszka Szala-Pozdziej, Anna S. S. Swierzko, Gabriela Gajek, Maja Kufelnicka-Babout, Karolina Chojnacka, Paulina Kobiela, Dariusz Jarych, Katarzyna Sobczuk, Jan Mazela, Iwona Domzalska-Popadiuk, Jaroslaw Kalinka, Hideharu Sekine, Misao Matsushita, Maciej Cedzynski

Summary: This study explored the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of the FCN2 gene and clinical complications in preterm babies. The results showed that certain SNPs were associated with very low birthweight (VLBW) and gestational age, suggesting that ficolin-2 is an important factor in fetal development and intrauterine growth.

Which is Better for Nanomedicines: Nanocatalysts or Single-Atom Catalysts?

Mengyang Zhao, Nan Zhang, Ruigeng Yang, Deliang Chen, Yongxing Zhao

Summary: Nanomaterials have shown great potential as catalysts in nanomedical applications, while single-atom catalysts are gaining attention for their precise design and high efficiency. Through innovative synthetic technologies and improvements to existing methods, researchers are striving to develop more efficient, controllable, and less toxic nanocatalysts.

Sex differences in the effects of prematurity and/or low birthweight on neurodevelopmental outcomes: systematic review and meta-analyses

Julian K. Christians, Saboura Ahmadzadeh-Seddeighi, Alishba Bilal, Anastasia Bogdanovic, Rebecca Ho, Estee V. Leung, Megan A. MacGregor, Nolan M. Nadasdy, Gabriella M. Principe

Summary: Early life environmental conditions and adversities, such as premature birth and low birthweight, have long-lasting effects on cognitive abilities and behavioral problems in children. However, there is no consistent difference between boys and girls in the effects of prematurity and low birthweight on these outcomes. This study shows that prematurity and low birthweight have similar long-term effects on intelligence and behavior in both boys and girls.

Landslide Susceptibility Mapping in Terms of the Slope-Unit or Raster-Unit, Which is Better?

Siyuan Ma, Xiaoyi Shao, Chong Xu

Summary: This study compares the performance of two commonly-used mapping units (slope-unit and raster-unit) in landslide susceptibility assessment. The results show that both mapping units can effectively predict the distribution of actual landslides, with similar prediction ability. However, compared to the raster-unit, the use of slope-unit can reduce model uncertainties caused by training set variations.

Jianguo Sun, Binbin Liu, Qi Zhao, Chin Ho Kirk, John Wang

Summary: This article provides an overview of the research progress on MXenes in energy and catalysis, with a specific focus on the potential of termination-free MXene in catalysis and redox reactions. The authors believe that MX has great potential in future catalysis and propose the extension towards high entropy and single-atom modifications.

Rachael W. Taylor, Jillian J. Haszard, Kim A. Meredith-Jones, Anne-Louise M. Heath, Barbara C. Galland, Andrew R. Gray, Sarah Fortune, Trudy Sullivan, Taiwo Adebowale, Barry J. Taylor

Summary: A single time point between 6 and 24 months of age is a stronger predictor of later obesity and body fat than multiple time points and indicators of rapid infant weight gain.

Which 2D Material is Better for DNA Detection: Graphene, MoS2, or MXene?

Zhonglin Cao, Prakarsh Yadav, Amir Barati Farimani

Summary: This study compares the performance of nanoporous graphene, MoS2, and MXene in DNA detection through extensive molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that graphene nanopore is the most sensitive in distinguishing DNA bases, while MoS2 is better than graphene and MXene in distinguishing A and T bases from C and G bases.

High-Protein or Low Glycemic Index Diet-Which Energy-Restricted Diet Is Better to Start a Weight Loss Program?

Ewa Walilko, Malgorzata Napierala, Marta Bryskiewicz, Aneta Fronczyk, Liliana Majkowska

Summary: This study compared the effects of high-protein (HP) and low glycemic index (LGI) diets as starting energy-restricted diets. The results showed that a short-term HP diet appeared to be more beneficial than an LGI diet in terms of greater fat mass loss, preservation of muscle mass, and better effects on the lipid profile.

The countryside or the city: Which environment is better for the honeybee?

C. Mahe, C. Jumarie, M. Boily

Summary: The decline of honeybee populations in North America and Europe has been a subject of debate, with agricultural activities and urban environments being linked to potential factors contributing to colony weakness. A study comparing honeybees in rural and urban areas revealed that urban foragers had higher levels of insecticides and pharmaceuticals, while urban larvae had greater concentrations of metals. Multifactorial analysis highlighted the significant influence of insecticides, metals, and pharmaceuticals on the contaminant-biomarker relationships for both foragers and larvae.

Which is a better cosmological probe: number counts or cosmic magnification?

Didam G. A. Duniya, Mazuba Kumwenda

Summary: The next generation of cosmological surveys will provide unprecedented precision and allow for the most stringent tests of theoretical ideas. To fully utilize these measurements, effective analytical tools and the best cosmological observables must be identified.

Optimal timing of fetal reduction from twins to singleton: earlier the better or later the better?

R. Zemet, J. Haas, Y. Bart, E. Barzilay, M. Shapira, K. Zloto, R. Hershenson, B. Weisz, Y. Yinon, S. Mazaki-Tovi, S. Lipitz

Summary: The study showed that early reduction of twin pregnancies to singletons had lower rates of preterm delivery and adverse neonatal outcomes compared to late reduction. Late reduction was identified as an independent risk factor for preterm delivery, indicating the importance of considering this risk when choosing the timing of reduction.

Prognostic tools or clinical predictions: Which are better in palliative care?

P. Stone, V. Vickerstaff, A. Kalpakidou, C. Todd, J. Griffiths, V. Keeley, K. Spencer, P. Buckle, D. Finlay, R. Z. Omar

Summary: The study found that four commonly used prognostic algorithms for palliative care generally showed good discrimination and calibration, but none of them demonstrated superiority to clinical predictions of survival. Prognostic tools less accurate than clinical predictions are clinically useless, while those performing similarly may have other advantages for clinical practice.
