TL;DR: Effect size estimates suggest that psychological and pharmacological interventions were highly effective for improving IA, and studies including individual treatments, a higher number of female participants, older patients, or a North-American sample had larger effect sizes for some outcome variables.

TL;DR: This study is the first evidence that leptin therapy has a significant effect in preventing ovariectomy-induced bone loss, and this effect may at least in part be mediated by the osteoprotegerin/RANK ligand pathway.
Abstract: Bone mineral density increases with fat body mass, and obesity has a protective effect against osteoporosis. However, the relationship between fat body mass and bone mineral density is only partially explained by a combination of hormonal and mechanical factors. Serum leptin levels are strongly and directly related to fat body mass. We report here the effects of leptin administration compared with estrogen therapy on ovariectomy-induced bone loss in rats. Leptin was effective at reducing trabecular bone loss, trabecular architectural changes, and periosteal bone formation. Interestingly, the combination of estrogen and leptin further decreased bone turnover compared with that in estrogen-treated ovariectomized rats. Leptin also significantly increased osteoprotegerin mRNA steady state levels and protein secretion and decreased RANK ligand mRNA levels in human marrow stromal cells in vitro. Our findings suggest that leptin could modulate bone remodeling in favor of a better bone balance in rats. This study is the first evidence that leptin therapy has a significant effect in preventing ovariectomy-induced bone loss, and this effect may at least in part be mediated by the osteoprotegerin/RANK ligand pathway.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the heat-clearance method can be calibrated by the 85Krypton method, and that, hence, a combined use of the two methods may be helpful for a quantitative analysis of rapid and transient changes in regional cortical blood flow.
Abstract: Regional blood flow of the cerebral cortex was measured simultaneously with two methods, one being a modification of the discontinuous 85Krypton clearance method, the other a continuous heat-clearance method. A correlation could be established between the regional cortical blood flow values obtained with the two methods. It is concluded that the heat-clearance method can be calibrated by the 85Krypton method, and that, hence, a combined use of the two methods may be helpful for a quantitative analysis of rapid and transient changes in regional cortical blood flow.

TL;DR: Growth of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum on H2 and CO2 as sole energy and carbon sources was found to be dependent on Ni, Co, and Mo.
Abstract: Growth of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum on H2 and CO2 as sole energy and carbon sources was found to be dependent on Ni, Co, and Mo. At low concentrations of Ni (<100 nM), Co (<10 nM) and Mo (<10 nM) the amount of cells formed was roughly proportional to the amount of transition metal added to the medium; for the formation of 1 g cells (dry weight) approximately 150 nmol NiCl2, 20 nmol CoCl2 and 20 nmol Na2MoO4 were required. A dependence of growth on Cu, Mn, Zn, Ca, Al, and B could not be demonstrated. Conditions are described under which the bacterium grew exponentially with a doubling time of 1.8 h up to a cell density of 2 g cells (dry weight)/1.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate highly efficient, immersed water-splitting electrodes enabled by inverted metamorphic epitaxy and a transparent graded buffer that allows the bandgap of each junction to be independently varied.
Abstract: Solar water splitting via multi-junction semiconductor photoelectrochemical cells provides direct conversion of solar energy to stored chemical energy as hydrogen bonds. Economical hydrogen production demands high conversion efficiency to reduce balance-of-systems costs. For sufficient photovoltage, water-splitting efficiency is proportional to the device photocurrent, which can be tuned by judicious selection and integration of optimal semiconductor bandgaps. Here, we demonstrate highly efficient, immersed water-splitting electrodes enabled by inverted metamorphic epitaxy and a transparent graded buffer that allows the bandgap of each junction to be independently varied. Voltage losses at the electrolyte interface are reduced by 0.55 V over traditional, uniformly p-doped photocathodes by using a buried p–n junction. Advanced on-sun benchmarking, spectrally corrected and validated with incident photon-to-current efficiency, yields over 16% solar-to-hydrogen efficiency with GaInP/GaInAs tandem absorbers, representing a 60% improvement over the classical, high-efficiency tandem III–V device. Solar water-splitting efficiency can be enhanced by careful bandgap selection in multi-junction semiconductor structures. Young et al. demonstrate a route that allows independent bandgap tuning of each junction in an immersed water-splitting device, enabling a solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of over 16%.
