Summary: The study demonstrates the impact of comutations on the prognostic significance of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations in adult patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing intensive chemotherapy (IC) followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

Summary: Spelling is crucial for reading and writing, yet many children struggle with it. This study examines the processes children use when spelling and suggests that both lexical-semantic and phonological processes are involved, with the reliance on each differing based on spelling experience. These findings have important implications for teaching and assessing spelling.

Summary: This article provides a critical analysis of the potential and limitations of electrochemistry in investigating single-enzyme catalysis, with a focus on nano-impact electrochemistry (NIE) and electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy. NIE can report single-enzyme activity, but its future broad applicability for studying freely diffusing individual enzymes is questionable.Recent discoveries indicate that enzyme conductance depends directly on biophysical parameters such as substrate binding, oxidation state of the catalytic center, and structural fluctuations.

Summary: This study examines the different distributions of inversion sizes under adaptive and nonadaptive scenarios. The results suggest that larger inversions are more likely to evolve under local adaptation scenarios, and smaller inversions are more likely to evolve when they are either underdominant or directly beneficial. Additionally, the study investigates how the presence of deleterious mutations within populations affects the probability of fixing inversions of different types.

Summary: The ecoacoustics approach is used to analyze environmental recordings and understand big ecological patterns related to different sound sources. The study found that different acoustic indices respond to different scales, and their medians vary according to the amount of surrounding vegetation cover.

Summary: In young children, small degrees of anisometropia (>= 0.5 D) are associated with impaired emmetropisation. This suggests that anisometropia is a marker for poorly regulated eye growth, indicating that, in addition to environmental and genetic influences on eye growth, stochastic processes contribute to refractive outcomes.

Summary: Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae hosts a variety of heritable traits, mainly resulting from the conversion of cytoplasmic proteins into prion forms. These prions propagate through the fragmentation of aggregates by molecular chaperones, forming self-templating seeds. The exact nature of these propagons and their transmission from mother to daughter cells is not fully understood.

Summary: Recent studies have found potential correlations between hair shedding during the COVID-19 pandemic and androgenetic alopecia and grey hair, with the severity of the disease affecting the onset and severity of hair loss.

Summary: The reduction in cognitive resources is proposed as a main cause for age-related cognitive decline, with older adults depleting resources faster during tasks leading to performance drops. Recent studies on neurophysiological markers of age-related changes lack consistent coupling between neural and behavioral effects, suggesting controlling for confounding sources of variability is necessary. An alternative perspective suggests a qualitative difference in cognitive resource deployment in aging.

Summary: This study investigates how L2 learners process scalar implicatures and explores the effects of L2 proficiency and Theory of Mind abilities on pragmatic responding. The results suggest that scalar inferences are not generated by default and processing them may be influenced by English proficiency levels. Additionally, socially inclined learners are more likely to derive scalar inferences.

Summary: This article demonstrates how to construct counterfactuals under alternative policy rules based on empirical estimations in a general family of linearized structural macroeconomic models. The robustness of these derived counterfactuals and optimal policies to the Lucas critique is examined, along with strategies for their application in the presence of limited empirical causal evidence on policy shock transmission.

Summary: By utilizing topic modeling, subjectivity analysis, and social graph theory, we were able to analyze 11,944 tweets related to IDWeek 2020. The study found that Twitter, as a rich medium, can effectively disseminate knowledge and facilitate social engagement during a medical conference, even in a virtual format.
