DOI: 10.1001/jamadermatol.2017.3182
Abstract: Importance Chronic urticaria (CU) affects 0.1% to 0.3% of children. Most cases have no identifiable trigger and are classified as chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). At least half of patients with CSU may have an autoimmune… read more here.

Pacritinib vs Best Available Therapy, Including Ruxolitinib, in Patients With Myelofibrosis: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "JAMA Oncology"
DOI: 10.1001/jamaoncol.2017.5818
Abstract: Importance Myelofibrosis is a hematologic malignancy characterized by splenomegaly and debilitating symptoms. Thrombocytopenia is a poor prognostic feature and limits use of Janus kinase 1 (JAK1)/Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) inhibitor ruxolitinib. Objective To compare the… read more here.

Sociality influences thermoregulation and roost switching in a forest bat using ephemeral roosts

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3111
Abstract: Abstract In summer, many temperate bat species use daytime torpor, but breeding females do so less to avoid interferences with reproduction. In forest‐roosting bats, deep tree cavities buffer roost microclimate from abrupt temperature oscillations and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4842
Abstract: Abstract Given the recurrent bat‐associated disease outbreaks in humans and recent advances in metagenomics sequencing, the microbiota of bats is increasingly being studied. However, obtaining biological samples directly from wild individuals may represent a challenge,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6315
Abstract: Abstract Repeated emergence of zoonotic viruses from bat reservoirs into human populations demands predictive approaches to preemptively identify virus‐carrying bat species. Here, we use machine learning to examine drivers of viral diversity in bats, determine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6362
Abstract: Abstract During the most recent decade, environmental DNA metabarcoding approaches have been both developed and improved to minimize the biological and technical biases in these protocols. However, challenges remain, notably those relating to primer design.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8978
Abstract: Abstract The extent to which persisting species may fill the functional role of extirpated or declining species has profound implications for the structure of biological communities and ecosystem functioning. In North America, arthropodivorous bats are… read more here.

Changes in hibernating tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) roosting behavior in response to white‐nose syndrome
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9045
Abstract: Abstract Understanding animals' behavioral and physiological responses to pathogenic diseases is critical for management and conservation. One such disease, white‐nose syndrome (WNS), has greatly affected bat populations throughout eastern North America leading to significant population… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9577
Abstract: Abstract Multimicrophone array techniques offer crucial insight into bat echolocation, yet they severely undersample the environments bats operate in as they are limited in geographic placement and mobility. UAVs are excellent candidates to greatly increase… read more here.
