The impact of bilingualism on the narrative ability and the executive functions of children with autism spectrum disorders.
While there is ample evidence that monolingual children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) face difficulties with narrative story-telling and executive functions (EF), there is considerable uncertainty about how bilingualism...
Genomic Profiling Reveals Distinct Routes To Complement Resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Francesca L Short, Gianna Di Sario, Nathalie T Reichmann, Colin Kleanthous, Julian Parkhill, Peter W Taylor
Jun 22, 2020
The serum complement system is a first line of defense against bacterial invaders. Resistance to killing by serum enhances the capacity of Klebsiella pneumoniae to cause infection, but it is an incompletely understood virulence...

Impact of Sizes of Servings, Glasses and Bottles on Alcohol Consumption
This review summarises the evidence on the impact of serving and container size on how much people drink, interventions that have the potential to reduce alcohol consumption across populations, thereby improving health. A rapid...
Financial incentives for increasing uptake of HPV vaccinations
OBJECTIVE: Uptake of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations by 17- to 18-year-old girls in England is below (<35%) target (80%). This trial assesses (a) the impact of financial incentives on uptake and completion of an HPV...
Relativistic approach to the kinematics of large-scale peculiar motions
Abstract: We consider the linear kinematics of large-scale peculiar motions in a perturbed Friedmann universe. In so doing, we take the viewpoint of the “real” observers that move along with the peculiar flow, relative to the...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of artificial pancreas treatment in non-pregnant outpatients with type 1 diabetes. DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. DATA SOURCES...
Dynamic expression of the mouse orthologue of the human amyotropic lateral sclerosis associated gene <i>C9orf72</i> during central nervous system development and neuronal differentiation
The hexanucleotide repeat in the first intron of the C9orf72 gene is the most significant cause of amyotropic lateral sclerosis as well as some forms of fronto-temporal dementia. The C9orf72 protein has been previously...

Cognitive and Affective Aspects of Theory of Mind in Greek-Speaking Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Substantial research indicates that individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have difficulties with Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities, but rarely have studies used a comprehensive battery to measure both the cognitive and...

Impact of warning labels on sugar-sweetened beverages on parental selection
Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are one of the largest added sugar sources to diets in the UK and USA, particularly among young people. Warning labels, including calorie information labels, could reduce SSB consumption but...
Syntactic and Story Structure Complexity in the Narratives of High- and Low-Language Ability Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Although language impairment is commonly associated with the autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the Diagnostic Statistical Manual no longer includes language impairment as a necessary component of an ASD diagnosis (American...
Impact of bottle size on in-home consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages
BACKGROUND: Consumption of sugars-sweetened beverages (SSB) increases energy intake and the risk of obesity. Large packages increase consumption of food, implying that smaller bottle sizes may help curb SSB consumption, but...
Impact of bottle size on in-home consumption of wine

Mar 16, 2020
Background:Reducing alcohol consumption across populations would prevent many non-communicable diseases. Large packages increase food and non-alcoholic drink consumption and large glasses increase wine consumption. Smaller...

The Remarkable Evolutionary Plasticity of Coronaviruses by Mutation and Recombination
Grigorios D Amoutzias, Marios Nikolaidis, Eleni Tryfonopoulou, Katerina Chlichlia, Panayotis Markoulatos, Stephen Oliver
Jan 10, 2022
Coronaviruses (CoVs) constitute a large and diverse subfamily of positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses. They are found in many mammals and birds and have great importance for the health of humans and farm animals. The...
