TL;DR: The findings from human and animal studies provide the basis for a relatively precise description of the neuronal circuits mediating sustained attention, and the dissociation between these circuits and those mediating the 'arousal' components of attention.

TL;DR: A functional link between hypoxia, a well-documented tumor microenvironment factor, and microRNA expression is demonstrated for the first time and selected microRNAs decrease proapoptotic signaling in a hypoxic environment, suggesting an impact of these transcripts on tumor formation.
Abstract: Recent research has identified critical roles for microRNAs in a large number of cellular processes, including tumorigenic transformation. While significant progress has been made towards understanding the mechanisms of gene regulation by microRNAs, much less is known about factors affecting the expression of these noncoding transcripts. Here, we demonstrate for the first time a functional link between hypoxia, a well-documented tumor microenvironment factor, and microRNA expression. Microarray-based expression profiles revealed that a specific spectrum of microRNAs (including miR-23, -24, -26, -27, -103, -107, -181, -210, and -213) is induced in response to low oxygen, at least some via a hypoxia-inducible-factor-dependent mechanism. Select members of this group (miR-26, -107, and -210) decrease proapoptotic signaling in a hypoxic environment, suggesting an impact of these transcripts on tumor formation. Interestingly, the vast majority of hypoxia-induced microRNAs are also overexpressed in a variety of human tumors.

TL;DR: It is argued that distress-related immune dysregulation may be one core mechanism behind a large and diverse set of health risks associated with negative emotions, and resources such as close personal relationships that diminish negative emotions enhance health in part through their positive impact on immune and endocrine regulation.
Abstract: Negative emotions can intensify a variety of health threats. We provide a broad framework relating negative emotions to a range of diseases whose onset and course may be influenced by the immune system; inflammation has been linked to a spectrum of conditions associated with aging, including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, Alzheimer's disease, frailty and functional decline, and periodontal disease. Production of proinflammatory cytokines that influence these and other conditions can be directly stimulated by negative emotions and stressful experiences. Additionally, negative emotions also contribute to prolonged infection and delayed wound healing, processes that fuel sustained proinflammatory cytokine production. Accordingly, we argue that distress-related immune dysregulation may be one core mechanism behind a large and diverse set of health risks associated with negative emotions. Resources such as close personal relationships that diminish negative emotions enhance health in part through their positive impact on immune and endocrine regulation.

TL;DR: A comparison of insect diapause with other forms of dormancy in plants and animals suggests that upregulation of a subset of heat shock protein genes may be one feature common to different types of dormancies.
Abstract: Environmental and hormonal regulators of diapause have been reasonably well defined, but our understanding of the molecular regulation of diapause remains in its infancy. Though many genes are shut down during diapause, others are specifically expressed at this time. Classes of diapause-upregulated genes can be distinguished based on their expression patterns: Some are upregulated throughout diapause, and others are expressed only in early diapause, late diapause, or intermittently throughout diapause. The termination of diapause is accompanied by a rapid decline in expression of the diapause-upregulated genes and, conversely, an elevation in expression of many genes that were downregulated during diapause. A comparison of insect diapause with other forms of dormancy in plants and animals suggests that upregulation of a subset of heat shock protein genes may be one feature common to different types of dormancies.

TL;DR: Excess risk for all strokes attributed to estrogen plus progestin appeared to be present in all subgroups of women examined, and excess risk of all stroke was apparent in all age groups, in all categories of baseline stroke risk, and in women with and without hypertension, prior history of cardiovascular disease, use of hormones, statins, or aspirin.
Abstract: ContextThe Women's Health Initiative (WHI) trial of estrogen plus progestin
was stopped early because of adverse effects, including an increased risk
of stroke in the estrogen plus progestin group.ObjectiveTo assess the effect of estrogen plus progestin on ischemic and hemorrhagic
stroke and in subgroups, and to determine whether the effect of estrogen plus
progestin was modified by baseline levels of blood biomarkers.DesignMulticenter double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial
involving 16 608 women aged 50 through 79 years with an average follow-up
of 5.6 years. Baseline levels of blood-based markers of inflammation, thrombosis,
and lipid levels were measured in the first 140 centrally confirmed stroke
cases and 513 controls.InterventionsParticipants received 0.625 mg/d of conjugated equine estrogen plus
2.5 mg/d of medroxyprogesterone acetate (n = 8506) or placebo (n = 8102).Main Outcome MeasuresOverall strokes and stroke subtype and severity were centrally adjudicated
by stroke neurologists.ResultsOne hundred fifty-one patients (1.8%) in the estrogen plus progestin
and 107 (1.3%) in the placebo groups had strokes. Overall 79.8% of strokes
were ischemic. For combined ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, the intention-to-treat
hazard ratio (HR) for estrogen plus progestin vs placebo was 1.31 (95% confidence
interval [CI], 1.02-1.68); with adjustment for adherence, the HR was 1.50
(95% CI, 1.08-2.08). The HR for ischemic stroke was 1.44 (95% CI, 1.09-1.90)
and for hemorrhagic stroke, 0.82 (95% CI, 0.43-1.56). Point estimates of the
HRs indicate that excess risk of all stroke was apparent in all age groups,
in all categories of baseline stroke risk, and in women with and without hypertension,
prior history of cardiovascular disease, use of hormones, statins, or aspirin.
Other risk factors for stroke, including smoking, blood pressure, diabetes,
lower use of vitamin C supplements, blood-based biomarkers of inflammation,
higher white blood cell count, and higher hematocrit levels did not modify
the effect of estrogen plus progestin on stroke risk.ConclusionsEstrogen plus progestin increases the risk of ischemic stroke in generally
healthy postmenopausal women. Excess risk for all strokes attributed to estrogen
plus progestin appeared to be present in all subgroups of women examined.
