Subjective values should be sharpAbstractElga (Philos Impr 10(5): 1–10, 2010) has argued that, even when no particular subjective probability is required by one's evidence, perfectly rational people will have sharp subjective probabilities. Otherwise, they would be rationally permitted to knowingly turn down some sure gains. I argue that it is likewise true that, even when we do not possess enough practical reasons for a sharp evaluation (because of optionality or ignorance), perfectly rational people...

Hearing Loss Linked to High Blood Pressure and Hypertension RiskBilateral high-frequency hearing loss (BHFHL) is positively associated with elevated blood pressure levels and hypertension risk among noise-exposed workers, a new study found (PLoS One. 2019 Sep 5;14[9]:e0222135). Researchers in China measured the systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and hearing of 21,403 occupational noise-exposed workers in Chengdu. Individuals with BHFHL were more likely older, males, lived...

Improving Imputation Quality in BEAGLE for Crop and Livestock DataImputation is one of the key steps in the preprocessing and quality control protocol of any genetic study. Most imputation algorithms were originally developed for the use in human genetics and thus are optimized for a high level of genetic diversity. Different versions of BEAGLE were evaluated on genetic datasets of doubled haploids of two European maize landraces, a commercial breeding line and a diversity panel in chicken, respectively,...

Syntaxin 6‐mediated exosome secretion regulates enzalutamide resistance in prostate cancerAbstract Prostate cancer (PCa) deaths are typically the result of metastatic castration‐resistant PCa (mCRPC). Recently, enzalutamide (Enz), an oral androgen receptor inhibitor, was approved for treating patients with mCRPC. Invariably, all PCa patients eventually develop resistance against Enz. Therefore, novel strategies aimed at overcoming Enz resistance are needed to improve the survival of PCa patients....

Smart Prosthetic Leg Uses AI to Make Perfect StepsPowered prosthetic devices tend to be heavy and not very smart at interpreting the needs of their users. Leg prostheses, for example, have to bend their joints to match whatever the person wants to do, be it sitting down, standing up, or walking up a flight of stairs. Moreover, to feel natural and provide fluid and efficient movement, a powered prosthetic leg has to time the activation of its motors just right at every step. Researchers at the University...

Assessment of age-related decline of neurovascular coupling responses by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in humansAbstract Preclinical studies provide strong evidence that age-related impairment of neurovascular coupling (NVC) plays a causal role in the pathogenesis of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). NVC is a critical homeostatic mechanism in the brain, responsible for adjustment of local cerebral blood flow to the energetic needs of the active neuronal tissue. Recent progress...
Patterned bruising indicating a complete renal artery transection in a fatal occupational accidentAbstract Blunt renal artery injury (BRAI) is a rare finding with incidence ranging from 0.05% to 0.08% among blunt abdominal trauma patients. BRAI occurs in 1% to 4% of patients with renal injury, and the most common cause is motor vehicle accidents. An unusual case of BRAI in a 47-year-old man at work is reported. The victim accidentally fell from a scaffold (approximately 3 m in height). He was transported...

Individual healthy aging indices, measurements and scores: AbstractThe positive gerontological approach to aging has resulted in successive terminologies to describe the process of aging, including successful aging, active aging, healthy aging, or healthy and active aging, amongst others. Each definition proposed by geriatricians, psychologists, sociologists or public health specialists has been based on specific aspects of aging that are most important to the authors' discipline, explaining the...
