Data from: Modeling of the larval response of green sea urchins to thermal stratification using a random walk approach
Larval transport in the ocean can be affected by their vertical position in the water column. In biophysical models that are often used to predict larval horizontal dispersal, generally larval vertical positions are either ignored or incorporated as static parameters. Here, we evaluate the ability of one dimensional random walk based model to predict larval vertical distribution of Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis in response to thermal stratification. Vertical swimming velocities were recorded at various temperatures and used to parameterize the model. Data from a previous laboratory study on the effects of thermal stratification on larval vertical distribution of S. droebachiensis were compared to the model results to evaluate the predictive ability of the model. The model predicts general trends in vertical distribution fairly well, but has a systematic bias which can be explained by un-quantified larval behaviors at the boundaries of the experimental water column. Overall, our behavioral model successfully reproduces the mechanism which regulates larval vertical distribution in response to thermal structure. Collectively, the findings suggest that simple behavioral models parameterized using simple lab experiments can prove useful in estimating the vertical distributions of invertebrate larvae in the laboratory and likely in the ocean. Such models can then be linked to bio-physical models to more accurately predict larval dispersal.

Data from: Facilitation enhances ecosystem function with non-random species gains
<p>Facilitation, an ecological interaction assembling plant communities worldwide, has been shown to modulate both species richness and ecosystem functions. Such a Biodiversity-Ecosystem Functioning (BEF) relationship can be decomposed into different components not only related to species losses and gains but also to the identity of the species and the context in which they live. Using an extension of the classical BEF approach named CAFE (Community Assembly and the Functioning of Ecosystems), we quantified the contribution of these components to the BEF relationship in a Spanish semiarid plant community shaped by facilitation. We used species richness as a measure for biodiversity and plant cover as a proxy of multiple ecosystem functions including plant productivity, soil protection, soil fertility and microbial productivity. Nurse plants doubled the number of species that live beneath them relative to open ground, but caused a five-fold increase in plant cover. The disproportionate increase of plant cover was a consequence of the identity of the species enhanced by nurse plants, which were more productive than the average. We discuss these results in terms of sampling effects (i.e., the higher probability of richer communities to harbour hyperproductive species) and complementary effects (i.e., richer communities enhancing productivity through resource partitioning, abiotic facilitation, or biotic feedbacks). The enhancement of ecosystem functions that plant facilitation produces by incorporating species with high functional values to the community may reverberate among other trophic levels and propagate beyond the local scale where the ecological interaction is produced.</p>

The STARS phase 2 study: a randomized controlled trial of gaboxadol in Angelman syndrome
<p><b>Objective</b>: To evaluate safety and tolerability and exploratory efficacy endpoints for gaboxadol (OV101) compared with placebo in individuals with Angelman syndrome (AS).</p> <p><b>Methods</b>: Gaboxadol is a highly selective orthosteric agonist that activates γ-subunit–containing extrasynaptic γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA<sub>A</sub>) receptors. In a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial, adolescent and adult individuals with a molecular diagnosis of AS were randomized (1:1:1) to 1 of 3 dosing regimens for a duration of 12 weeks: placebo morning dose and gaboxadol 15 mg evening dose (qd); gaboxadol 10 mg morning dose and 15 mg evening dose (bid); or placebo morning and evening dose. Safety and tolerability were monitored throughout the study. Prespecified exploratory efficacy endpoints included adapted Clinical Global Impression–Severity (CGI-S) and Clinical Global Impression–Improvement (CGI-I) scales which documented the clinical severity at baseline and change after treatment, respectively.</p> <p><b>Results</b>: Eighty-eight individuals were randomized. Of 87 individuals (aged 13–45 years) who received at least 1 dose of study drug, 78 (90%) completed the study. Most adverse events (AEs) were mild to moderate, and no life-threatening AEs were reported. Efficacy of gaboxadol, as measured by CGI-I improvement in an exploratory analysis, was observed in gaboxadol qd vs placebo (p = 0.0006).</p> <p><b>Conclusion</b>: After 12 weeks of treatment, gaboxadol was found to be generally well tolerated with a favorable safety profile. The efficacy as measured by the AS-adapted CGI-I scale warrants further studies.</p>
Effectiveness of community-based health education and home support program to reduce blood pressure among patients with uncontrolled hypertension in Nepal: A cluster-randomized trial
<p><b>Background: </b>Hypertension is a major global public health problem. Elevated blood pressure can cause cardiovascular and kidney diseases. We assessed the effectiveness of health education sessions and home support programs in reducing blood pressure among patients with uncontrolled hypertension in a suburban community of Nepal.</p> <p><b>Methods</b>: We conducted a community-based, open-level, parallel-group, cluster randomized controlled trial in Birendranagar municipality of Surkhet, Nepal. We randomly assigned four clusters (wards) into intervention and control arms. We provided four health education sessions, frequent home and usual care for intervention groups over six months. The participants of the control arm received only usual care from health facilities. The primary outcome of this study was the proportion of controlled systolic blood pressure (SBP). The analysis included all participants who completed follow-up at six months.</p> <p><b>Results</b>: 125 participants were assigned to either the intervention (n=63) or the control (n=62) group. Of them, 60 participants in each group completed six months follow-up. The proportion of controlled SBP was significantly higher among the intervention participants compared to the control (58.3% vs. 40%). Odds ratio of this was 2.1 with 95% CI: 1.01-4.35 (p=0.046) and that of controlled diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was 1.31 (0.63-2.72) (p=0.600). The mean change (follow-up minus baseline) in SBP was significantly higher in the intervention than in the usual care (-18.7 mmHg vs. -11.2 mmHg, p=0.041). Such mean change of DBP was also higher in the intervention (-10.95 mmHg vs. -5.53 mmHg, p=0.065). The knowledge score on hypertension improved by 2.38 (SD 2.4) in the intervention arm, which was significantly different from that of the control group, 0.13 (1.8) (p<0.001).</p> <p><b>Conclusions</b>: Multiple health education sessions complemented by frequent household visits by health volunteers can effectively improve knowledge on hypertension and reduce blood pressure among uncontrolled hypertensive patients at the community level in Nepal. </p> <p><b>Keywords:</b> Hypertension; Blood pressure; Systolic Blood Pressure; Diastolic Blood Pressure; Cardiovascular disease; Health Education; Home Support</p> <p><b>Trial Registration: </b>ClinicalTrial.gov: <span>NCT02981251</span></p>

Plastid genome random walks
<p>A common genome composition pattern in eubacteria is an asymmetry between the leading and lagging strands resulting in opposite skew patterns in the two replichores that lie between the origin and terminus of replication. Although this pattern has been reported for a couple of isolated plastid genomes, it is not clear how widespread it is overall in this chromosome. Using a random walk approach, we examine plastid genomes outside of the land plants, which are excluded since they are known not to initiate replication at a single site, for such a pattern of asymmetry. Although it is not a common feature, we find that it is detectable in the plastid genome of species from several diverse lineages. The euglenozoa in particular show a strong skew pattern as do several rhodophytes. There is a weaker pattern in some chlorophytes but it is not apparent in other lineages. The ramifications of this for analyses of plastid evolution are discussed.</p> <p>This dataset contains the random walk plots for the genomes analyzed.</p>

Efficacy of Kinesiotaping on functional outcomes, pain and edema in the early rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty surgery: a randomized controlled trial
<p><strong>Objective </strong>The aim of our study was to verify whether the application of Kinesiotaping in addition to usual treatment was superior to usual treatment alone regarding functional outcome, pain and edema in the first 13 days after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery.</p> <p><strong>Design</strong> Open-label, parallel two-groups, Randomized controlled trial.</p> <p><strong>Setting </strong>Galeazzi hospital, Milan.</p> <p><strong>Participants </strong>Inpatients, aged between 50 and 85 years old, waiting TKA were invited to voluntarily participate to the trial. The study sample (n=71) was 42.3% men and the mean age was 68.1 (±9) years. A 1:1 ratio randomization list, to allocate the patient either to a Kinesiotaping Group (KT) or to a control (CON) group.</p> <p><strong>Interventions </strong>KT and CON groups received the same volume of standard post-TKA rehabilitation. KT was additionally treated with lymphatic correction applications of Kinesiotaping (Kinesio® Tex Classic, Mogliano Veneto, IT) on day 3rd (± 1) and 7th (± 1) post-surgery (2 applications during the rehabilitation period). Each application lasted 4-5 days before removal. KT was removed before patients discharge</p> <p><strong>Main Outcome Measure(s)</strong> 1) Circumference at knee level; 2) VAS for pain; 3) 10 Meter Walking Test; 4) Timed Up and Go Test; 5) passive knee range of motion; 6) body composition; 7) Functional Independence Measure; 8) Modified Barthel Index. Data were collected at T0 (before surgery), T1 (3±1 days after surgery), T2 (7±1 days after surgery), T3 (13±1 days after surgery)</p> <p><strong>Results </strong>No inter-group differences were found between KT and CON at T0, T1, T2 and T3. An effect of time was observed for all outcome measures.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions </strong>No superiority of Kinesiotaping was observed compared to usual rehabilitation treatment. Based on these results, the use of Kinesiotaping applied in the early stages of rehabilitation after TKA is not recommended.</p>
