Summary: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a severe birth defect with high mortality and long-term morbidity rates. The Retinoid Hypothesis, proposed by Greer et al. in 2003, has been supported by research conducted in the past 20 years. As our understanding of the role of retinoid signaling in diaphragm development improves, it holds promise for improving CDH outcomes.

Summary: The concept of Constructive Neutral Evolution (CNE) suggests that complexity can arise through non-adaptive steps rather than functional or adaptive ones. Despite being around for two decades, many evolutionary biologists seem unaware of this theory. This article explains how CNE changes the narrative order in describing the evolution of complexity, and discusses strategies for determining if complexity arose through neutral or adaptive processes.

Summary: The objective of this study was to determine if AUDIT results can predict mortality after 20 years. An observational study was conducted in Germany, involving 3581 individuals who consumed alcohol. It was found that AUDIT predicted time to death, with a higher risk in individuals with higher AUDIT scores. It also predicted cardiovascular mortality in the same population sample.

Summary: This article examines the design issues in test code caused by test smells. It assesses the performance and external validity of two test smell detection tools and finds that the current detection strategies are flawed and fail to accurately identify test smells in both human-written and automatically generated test cases.

Summary: Rice production is a key factor affecting the food security and socioeconomic status of over half the world's population. This study analyzed the trends and determinants of rice production in China from 2001 to 2021, revealing a steady increase in production with a significant rise in middle rice production.

Summary: Duman's research has shown that long-term treatment with antidepressant drugs increases neurogenesis in the subgranular zone of the adult hippocampus, providing critical insights into the neurotrophic hypothesis of depression and synaptic plasticity. It has been demonstrated that neurogenesis may be necessary for the clinical effects of antidepressant drugs, and his lab continues to investigate neurotrophic factors and synaptic plasticity. Preclinical studies have also shown that newer antidepressant compounds impact neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the FAB without the contribution of PBT and provide normative data for the revised version (FAB15). Results showed excellent interrater and test-retest reliabilities for FAB15. Factors such as sex, age, and education level were found to impact FAB15 scores, leading to the creation of adjustment grids for raw scores.

Summary: Burnout is a state of exhaustion and cynicism related to work, while work engagement is a positive motivational state characterized by vigor, dedication, and absorption. This article discusses the concepts of burnout and work engagement, as well as their antecedents and consequences. It also highlights new empirical findings and theoretical innovations in relation to the job demands-resources (JD-R) theory, including the person-situation approach, multilevel JD-R theory, proactive approaches, and the work-home resources model. The article concludes with practical implications and future research opportunities, such as JD-R interventions, team-level approaches, and exploring demands and resources from other life domains.

Summary: GPX2 is a selenoenzyme with glutathione peroxidase activity. It is closely related to GPX1 in terms of structure, substrate specificities, and subcellular localization. GPX2 is widely expressed in epithelial tissues, with concentration in stem cell and proliferative compartments. Its expression is regulated by many pathways, but its significance needs to be evaluated in the context of other peroxidase activities.

Summary: The critical shoulder angle (CSA) and the acromion index (AI) are measurements of acromial shape that are often considered as predictors of degenerative rotator cuff tears (RCT) and glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GH OA). However, this study found no correlation between CSA, AI, and the development of OA or RCT after 20 years. Additionally, the CSA and AI decreased slightly over time, but the difference was minimal and there was no significant difference compared to the contralateral shoulders.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive review of the research related to the Dynamic Comprehensive Model of Awareness (DCMA). The findings suggest that the DCMA model is widely applicable across different age groups and populations, and highlight the need for future research on assessment approaches and intervention methods to enhance self-awareness.

Summary: Cytokine storm plays a crucial role in the severity of COVID-19 outcomes, while DAMPs act similarly by activating inflammatory pathways. Excessive release of DAMPs can lead to dysregulated hyperinflammatory responses, exacerbating the condition.

Summary: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic neuroinflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) with unknown etiology. Two pre-clinical models, the outside-in model and the inside-out paradigm, are discussed to examine the pathogenesis of the disease. The integrating role of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in these models is examined, focusing on their origin and sources. Environmental triggers that induce regulated cell death (RCD) or act as exogenous DAMPs are examined, as they have been identified as prolific sources of DAMPs in autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis. A model of a DAMP-driven positive feed-forward loop of chronic inflammatory demyelinating processes is proposed to reconcile the competing inside-out and outside-in paradigms.
