Circulating sex hormone levels decrease in aging, influencing cerebrovascular health. Estradiol has been shown to support female vascular and brain health, though its effects across the menopausal transition remain unknown. Similarly, the influence of testosterone and other hormones in females is not clear. In males, testosterone is associated with posi ...

Males and females, especially in species with more pronounced sexual dimorphisms, may face very different trade-offs between detecting and avoiding predation threats and the need to court potential mates. Within aquatic ecosystems, the use of reliable publicly available chemosensory risk assessment cues allows prey to assess local threats and optimize t ...

Microwave-assisted synthesis offers several advantages over conventional methods, including shorter reaction times and more efficient heating in systems containing polar solvents such as water or ethanol. These features can be exploited to prepare and modify active photocatalysts for H2-production reactions, allowing precise tuning of composition and fi ...

Purpose: Computer- and robotic-assisted technologies improve total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through intraoperative bone registration. However, limited bone exposure restricts point collection to the distal femur, omitting key geometric features and reducing registration accuracy and the surgical outcomes. Methods: We introduce a deep learning-based meth ...

Positive social relationships are linked to better health outcomes. Beyond global evaluations of relationship quality, little is known about how specific interpersonal processes may influence biological pathways promoting optimal health outcomes. Perceived partner responsiveness (PPR) is an interpersonal process through which an individual comes to beli ...
