Features based on peer-reviewed papers published in PLOS One.
Dr. Pénélope Pelland-Goulet's team found that moment-to-moment rhythms in visual word recognition differ in adults with ADHD, allowing a machine-learning classifier to identify them with high accuracy.
Dr. Ryo Nonomura's mailed survey of patients after surgery for spontaneous lung collapse found teenagers faced the highest recurrence risk, and follow-up grew harder as patients moved away.
Mads Bjørnsen's team found that rock ptarmigan intestines, an Inuit delicacy, hold a rich microbial community that passes into garum sauce fermented with them.
Dr. Linus Milinski and Dr. Victoria Bajo found that ferrets with noise-induced tinnitus slept worse, but tinnitus-linked brain hyperactivity was much weaker during sleep than during wakefulness.
Professor Geert Schmid-Schönbein's team found that in older rats, digestive enzymes leaked from a weakened gut into organs and damaged tissue, and an enzyme blocker reduced this.
Dr. Akiyoshi Saitoh's team found that activating oxytocin cells in the mouse hypothalamus that project to the supramammillary nucleus strengthened the animals' memory for recognising objects.
Professor Anne Pezalla and Professor Alice Davidson found that gentle parents focus on staying calm and regulating emotions, yet many are hard on themselves and report burnout.
Professor Keiichi Yamamoto's team used energy landscape analysis of a rheumatoid arthritis cohort to separate patients heading towards stable remission from those heading towards a treatment dead-end.
Dr. Glenn Pierce and Dr. Paul Cleary found that many American schoolchildren lack internet access at school or home, with gaps tied to household income and parents' education.
Professor Sharifa Puteh's team sets out a protocol to test whether private-paying patient services in selected Malaysian public hospitals cover their costs, using cost volume profit analysis.
Peter Schlag's team found that Roche's cobas EZH2 mutation test closely matched next-generation sequencing in detecting EZH2 mutations in samples from people with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Dr. Pouya Tavousi's team built laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy into ultrashort pulsed laser machining, letting the system identify materials in real time and adjust or stop cutting automatically.
Dr. Isabelle Thierry-Chef's team has laid out a plan to compare how X-ray and CT scanners are available and used to diagnose tuberculosis in children in Mozambique, South Africa and Spain.
Professor Peiling Wang's team found that leading biomedical journals vary widely in how they endorse and enforce major reporting guidelines, and few require authors to follow them.
Dr. Albert Flexas's team found that early Catalan-Spanish bilinguals made the same moral choices in either language, while the personality trait of meanness predicted more utilitarian decisions.
Dr. Pavla Vrabcová's team found that Czech hotels and guesthouses adopt a similar range of green measures regardless of star rating, with energy saving and waste sorting most common.
Dr. Manan Vyas's team found that correlations between S&P 500 stocks entered a previously unseen market state a few months into the COVID-19 pandemic, which persisted for over a year.
Professor Dominique Durand's team found that nerve activity recorded inside melanomas in mice could distinguish tumours that spread spontaneously from those with low metastatic potential.
Dr. Xiangpeng Meng and Dr. Xinshu Gong found that digital transformation at listed Chinese manufacturers was linked to greater innovation output, partly through lower internal and external transaction costs.
Dr. Nicola McDowell's team validated the Austin Assessment, an iPad card-matching app, finding it moderately accurate at flagging children who may have cerebral visual impairment.
Professor Jerilynn Prior's pilot diary study found that women with PCOS had menstrual cycles and moods much like controls during the early pandemic, but reported more outside stress.
Dr. Felix Pabon-Rodriguez's team built a Bayesian model that links parasite load and immune responses to disease progression and death in dogs naturally exposed to Leishmania.
Dr. Ian Rabinowitz's team found that immune, inflammatory and complement genes are strongly switched on in pancreatic cancer tissue compared with normal pancreas, while Malassezia fungus was not linked to tumour growth.
Carolyn Ritchey's team found that higher pay for online crowdsourcing participants reduced drop-out and improved data quality, while extra instructions made little difference.
