Effects of combined immunosuppressant and hepatitis B virus antiviral use on COVID-19 vaccination in recipients of living donor liver transplantation

Background & Aims The global pandemic caused by the highly contagious SARS-CoV-2 virus led to the emergency approval of COVID-19 vaccines to reduce rising morbidity and mortality.However, limited research exists on evaluating the impact of these vaccines on immunocompromised individuals, such as recipients of living donor liver transplantation, hig

A novel sperm-delivered toxin causes late-stage embryo lethality and transmission ratio distortion in C. elegans.

The evolutionary fate of an allele ordinarily depends on its contribution to host fitness.Occasionally, however, genetic elements arise that are able to gain a transmission advantage while simultaneously imposing a fitness cost on their hosts.We Alarm Clock previously discovered one such element in C.elegans that gains a transmission advantage thro

Diving into a pool or volcano? Examining the influence of sentence context and task demands on sentence reading in younger and older adults.

Cognitive ageing is often associated with slower lexical processing, which might influence both language production and comprehension.Words are typically used in context, which can further influence word processing and potential age differences.However, it remains unclear how older adults are affected by context during reading.Older adults are repo
