TL;DR: The outcomes of a cohort of patients with cancer and COVID-19 are characterised and potential prognostic factors for mortality and severe illness are identified and race and ethnicity, obesity status, cancer type, type of anticancer therapy, and recent surgery were not associated with mortality.

TL;DR: A coral reef represents the net accumulation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) produced by corals and other calcifying organisms, and if calcification declines, then reef-building capacity also declines.
Abstract: A coral reef represents the net accumulation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) produced by corals and other calcifying organisms. If calcification declines, then reef-building capacity also declines. Coral reef calcification depends on the saturation state of the carbonate mineral aragonite of surface waters. By the middle of the next century, an increased concentration of carbon dioxide will decrease the aragonite saturation state in the tropics by 30 percent and biogenic aragonite precipitation by 14 to 30 percent. Coral reefs are particularly threatened, because reef-building organisms secrete metastable forms of CaCO3, but the biogeochemical consequences on other calcifying marine ecosystems may be equally severe.

TL;DR: This paper explored the conceptual and empirical reasons behind choice of extent of study area in such analyses, and offer practical, but conceptually justified, reasoning for such decisions, and asserted that the area that has been accessible to the species of interest over relevant time periods represents the ideal area for model development, testing, and comparison.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define the differences between the two paradigms and suggest criteria for ensuring the trustworthiness of naturalistic inquiry, and propose that naturalistic Inquiry better serves the social/ behavioral sciences.
Abstract: How suitable is the rationalistic paradigm for research focusing on human behavior? Proposing that naturalistic inquiry better serves the social/ behavioral sciences, the authors define the differences between the two paradigms and suggest criteria for ensuring the trustworthiness of naturalistic inquiry.

TL;DR: Mortality rates are increased at least 2-fold in RA, and are linked to clinical severity, with a large excess of deaths attributable to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Abstract: Objective. To determine the risk and causes of death and to quantify mortality predictors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods. RA patients (n = 3,501) from 4 centers (Saskatoon n = 905, Wichita n = 1,405, Stanford n = 886, and Santa Clara n = 305) were followed for up to 35 years; 922 patients died. Results. The overall standardized mortality ratio (SMR) was 2.26 (Saskatoon 2.24, Wichita 1.98, Stanford 3.08, Santa Clara 2.18) and increased with time. Mortality was strikingly increased for specific causes: infection, lymphoproliferative malignancy, gastroenterologic, and RA. In addition, as an effect of the SMR of 2.26, the expected number of deaths was increased nonspecifically across all causes (except cancer), with a large excess of deaths attributable to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Independent predictors of mortality included age, education, male sex, function, rheumatoid factor, nodules, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, joint count, and prednisone use.
