TL;DR: Investigation in six European countries found medical end-of-life decisions frequently precede dying in all participating countries, with large variations in the extent to which decisions were discussed with patients, relatives, and other caregivers.

TL;DR: The Danish National Health Service Register is useful for research purposes but reservations must be made regarding its validity.
Abstract: Introduction: To describe the Danish National Health Service Register in relation to research. Content: The register contains data collected for administrative and scientific purposes from health contractors in primary health care. It includes information about citizens, providers, and health services but minimal clinical information. Validity and coverage: The register covers everyone living in Denmark and data is available from 1990. No validity studies have been reported. Because the data is connected to reimbursement the coverage is assumed to be good. Conclusion: The strengths of the register include completeness, size, and long follow-up period. It is useful for research purposes but reservations must be made regarding its validity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the evidence for an energy gap in the intrinsic excitation spectrum of nuclei is reviewed and a possible analogy between this effect and the energy gap observed in the electronic excitation of a superconducting metal is suggested.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of eight geographically and technically diverse fecal shotgun metagenomic studies of colorectal cancer identified a core set of 29 species significantly enriched in CRC metagenomes, establishing globally generalizable, predictive taxonomic and functional microbiome CRC signatures as a basis for future diagnostics.
Abstract: Association studies have linked microbiome alterations with many human diseases. However, they have not always reported consistent results, thereby necessitating cross-study comparisons. Here, a meta-analysis of eight geographically and technically diverse fecal shotgun metagenomic studies of colorectal cancer (CRC, n = 768), which was controlled for several confounders, identified a core set of 29 species significantly enriched in CRC metagenomes (false discovery rate (FDR) < 1 × 10−5). CRC signatures derived from single studies maintained their accuracy in other studies. By training on multiple studies, we improved detection accuracy and disease specificity for CRC. Functional analysis of CRC metagenomes revealed enriched protein and mucin catabolism genes and depleted carbohydrate degradation genes. Moreover, we inferred elevated production of secondary bile acids from CRC metagenomes, suggesting a metabolic link between cancer-associated gut microbes and a fat- and meat-rich diet. Through extensive validations, this meta-analysis firmly establishes globally generalizable, predictive taxonomic and functional microbiome CRC signatures as a basis for future diagnostics. Cross-study analysis defines fecal microbial species associated with colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: Oxygen-isotope ratios of precipitation inferred from deep-lake ostracods from the Ammersee provide a climate record with decadal resolution that indicates that climate gradients between Europe and Greenland changed systematically, reflecting a gradual rearrangement of North Atlantic circulation during deglaciation.
Abstract: Oxygen-isotope ratios of precipitation (delta18OP) inferred from deep-lake ostracods from the Ammersee (southern Germany) provide a climate record with decadal resolution. The record in detail shows many of the rapid climate shifts seen in central Greenland ice cores between 15,000 and 5000 years before the present (B.P.). Negative excursions in the estimated delta18OP from both of these records likely reflect short weakenings of the thermohaline circulation caused by episodic discharges of continental freshwater into the North Atlantic. Deviating millennial-scale trends, however, indicate that climate gradients between Europe and Greenland changed systematically, reflecting a gradual rearrangement of North Atlantic circulation during deglaciation.
