TL;DR: At 52 weeks, evolocumab added to diet alone, to low-dose atorvastatin, or to high- dose atorVastatin with or without ezetimibe significantly reduced LDL cholesterol levels in patients with a range of cardiovascular risks.
Abstract: Among the 901 patients included in the primary analysis, the overall least-squares mean (±SE) reduction in LDL cholesterol from baseline in the evolocumab group, taking into account the change in the placebo group, was 57.0±2.1% (P<0.001). The mean reduction was 55.7±4.2% among patients who underwent background therapy with diet alone, 61.6±2.6% among those who received 10 mg of atorvastatin, 56.8±5.3% among those who received 80 mg of atorvastatin, and 48.5±5.2% among those who received a combination of 80 mg of atorvastatin and 10 mg of ezetimibe (P<0.001 for all comparisons). Evolocumab treatment also significantly reduced levels of apolipoprotein B, non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, lipoprotein(a), and triglycerides. The most common adverse events were nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection, influenza, and back pain. Conclusions At 52 weeks, evolocumab added to diet alone, to low-dose atorvastatin, or to highdose atorvastatin with or without ezetimibe significantly reduced LDL cholesterol levels in patients with a range of cardiovascular risks.

TL;DR: Non‐shivering thermogenesis is a heat‐production mechanism participating in the chemical thermoregulation of mammals and its role in animal welfare is clarified in 1.1.
Abstract: Summary
1. Non-shivering thermogenesis (NST) is a heat-production mechanism participating in the chemical thermoregulation of mammals.
2. NST is additional to shivering and takes place at temperatures close to the thermoneutral zone.
3. NST occurs in newborn mammals and in those that hibernate. In some adult mammals it can be induced by adaptation to cold.
4. In small mammals NST produces approximately the same amount of heat as shivering. It becomes less important with increasing body weight of the animals.
5. NST is regulated by the hypothalamus and it is based predominantly on the calorigenic action of noradrenaline released from sympathetic nerve-endings.
Participation of other calorigenic substances and of the specific dynamic action of food cannot be excluded.
6. NST is localized mainly in skeletal muscles and in brown adipose tissue. Small amounts of NST may come from liver, intestine, heart and brain.
7. The biochemical basis of the calorigenic action of noradrenaline has not yet been fully elucidated.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the smooth endoplasmic reticulum regulates the ionic and structural milieu of some, but not all, hippocampal dendritic spines is supported.
Abstract: Recent studies have shown high levels of calcium in activated dendritic spines, where the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is likely to be important for regulating calcium. Here, the dimensions and organization of the SER in hippocampal spines and dendrites were measured through serial electron microscopy and three-dimensional analysis. SER of some form was found in 58% of the immature spines and in 48% of the adult spines. Less than 50% of the small spines at either age contained SER, suggesting that other mechanisms, such as cytoplasmic buffers, regulate ion fluxes within their small volumes. In contrast, >80% of the large mushroom spines of the adult had a spine apparatus, an organelle containing stacks of SER and dense-staining plates. Reconstructed SER occupied 0.001–0.022 μm3, which was only 2–3.5% of the total spine volume; however, the convoluted SER membranes had surface areas of 0.12–2.19 μm2, which were 12 to 40% of the spine surface area. Coated vesicles and multivesicular bodies occurred in some spines, suggesting local endocytotic activity. Smooth vesicles and tubules of SER were found in continuity with the spine plasma membrane and margins of the postsynaptic density (PSD), respectively, suggesting a role for the SER in the addition and recycling of spine membranes and synapses. The amount of SER in the parent dendrites was proportional to the number of spines and synapses originating along their lengths. These measurements support the hypothesis that the SER regulates the ionic and structural milieu of some, but not all, hippocampal dendritic spines.
