Abstract Background Volunteering participants in disease studies tend to be healthier than the general population partially due to specific enrollment criteria.Using modeling to accurately predict outcomes of cohort studies enrolling volunteers requires adjusting for the bias introduced in this way.Here we propose a new method to account for the ef
Abstract Tree frogs have the remarkable ability to attach to smooth, rough, dry, and wet surfaces using their versatile toe pads.Tree frog attachment involves the secretion of mucus into the pad-substrate gap, requiring adaptations towards mucus drainage and pad lubrication.Here, we present an overview of tree frog attachment, with focus on (i) the
Purifying selection during dengue viral infection has been suggested as the driving force of viral evolution and the higher complexity of the intra-host quasi-species is thought to offer an adaptive advantage for arboviruses as they cycle between arthropod and vertebrate hosts.However, very few studies have been performed to investigate the viral g
How the complexity or irregularity of heart rate variability (HRV) changes across different sleep stages and the importance of these features in sleep staging are not fully understood.This study aimed to investigate the complexity or irregularity of the RR interval time series in different sleep stages and explore their values in sleep staging.We p
