7%) accreta, 10 (21.7%) increta and 26 (56.6%) percreta cases. ARFI values were highest in the percreta subgroup. The increta subgroup showed higher ARFI values than the accreta subgroup but maternal-side, fetal-side and average ARFI values were not significantly different across the subgroups (P > 0.05). The cut-off values for average, peripheral and central elastography were determined as >0.90, >0.76, >0.98 (m/s) with sensitivities of 98, 64, 98% and specificities of 85, 80, 91%, respectively. CONCLUSION ARFI elastography can detect API. However, it cannot determine invasion depth reliably. More studies with subgroup analyses are warranted to reveal its usefulness for invasion depth. © 2020 Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology.Unattended automated office blood pressure (BP) measurement (u-AOBP) improves office BP measurement accuracy and reduces white-coat BP elevation, but there are reservations about its time efficiency in primary care. We used time-stamp methodology to measure u-AOBP procedure times performed without a rest period in 130 patients during routine clinic visits to three primary care clinics with 2.5-4.9 years u-AOBP experience. We documented the clinical activities of 30 medical assistants during the u-AOBP procedures. We also assessed MA and clinician satisfaction and knowledge about u-AOBP performance and interpretation. Median u-AOBP procedure time was less then 5 minutes, and MAs engaged in productive clinical activities during 83% of the procedures. Bcl-2 lymphoma Ninety-three percent of MAs and 100% of clinicians in the clinics agreed that u-AOBP is an efficient method to improve hypertension management. Barriers to effective u-AOBP implementation and ongoing utilization included initial difficulty incorporating u-AOBP into clinic workflow and medical staff knowledge deficiencies concerning correct u-AOBP performance and interpretation despite prior training and experience with the procedure. Intensive u-AOBP education and training programs are needed to facilitate effective u-AOBP implementation into primary care. The time required to perform u-AOBP can be utilized productively by staff. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Single-atom catalysts have drawn great attention, especially in electrocatalysis. However, most of previous works focus on the enhanced catalytic properties via improving metal loading. Engineering morphologies of catalysts to facilitate mass transport through catalyst layers, thus increasing the utilization of each active site, is regarded as an appealing way for enhanced performance. Herein, we design an overhang-eave structure decorated with isolated single-atom iron sites via a silica-mediated MOF-templated approach for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysis. This catalyst demonstrates superior ORR performance in both alkaline and acidic electrolytes, comparable to the state-of-the-art Pt/C catalyst and superior to most precious-metal-free catalysts reported to date. This activity originates from its edge-rich structure, having more three-phase boundaries with enhanced mass transport of reactants to accessible single-atom iron sites (increasing the utilization of active sites), which verifies the practicability of such a synthetic approach. © 2020 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.Silicon-based composites have been recognized as a promising anode material for high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the intrinsically low conductivity and the huge volume expansion during lithiation/delithiation progresses impede its further practical applications. In the past decades, numerous efforts have been made for surface and interface modification of Si-based anodes. Among these, doping of active materials with heteroatoms is one promising method to endow silicon many unmatched electrochemical properties. In this review, we focus on the effects of heteroatom doping on the interfacial properties of Si-based anodes, and some typical strategies for the interface doping are highlighted. We aim to give some reference for interfacial doping of Si-based anodes in LIBs. © 2020 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.High-throughput sequencing technologies are a proposed solution for accessing the molecular data in historical specimens. However, degraded DNA combined with the computational demands of short-read assemblies has posed significant laboratory and bioinformatics challenges for de novo genome assembly. Linked-read or 'synthetic long-read' sequencing technologies, such as 10X Genomics, may provide a cost-effective alternative solution to assemble higher quality de novo genomes from degraded tissue samples. Here, we compare assembly quality (e.g., genome contiguity and completeness, presence of orthogroups) between four new deer mouse (Peromyscus spp.) genomes assembled using linked-read technology and four published genomes assembled from a single shotgun library. At a similar price-point, these approaches produce vastly different assemblies, with linked-read assemblies having overall higher contiguity and completeness, measured by larger N50 values and greater number of genes assembled, respectively. As a proof-of-concept, we used annotated genes from the four Peromyscus linked-read assemblies and eight additional rodent taxa to generate a phylogeny, which reconstructed the expected relationships among species with 100% support. Although not without caveats, our results suggest that linked-read sequencing approaches are a viable option to build de novo genomes from degraded tissues, which may prove particularly valuable for taxa that are extinct, rare, or difficult to collect.

AIMS This study aimed to survey users and non-users of aesthetic procedures in countries where this information is less readily available, to understand attitudes and perceptions relating to beauty. PATIENTS/METHODS Two independent internet-based observational surveys were conducted. Survey 1 individuals from Colombia, Lebanon, Malaysia, Russia and Turkey who were 'users' or 'non-users' of aesthetic medical procedures. Survey 2 individuals from Colombia, Russia, Thailand, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates who were 'users' of non-surgical aesthetic treatments. RESULTS Surveys 1 and 2 were completed by 300 and 160 individuals, respectively, most of whom were female (94.0% and 99%). Overall, respondents rated the eyes and smile as the most pleasing male and female facial features. Most participants (mean 82.6%; range 75%-100%) believed maintaining a healthy lifestyle was important for ageing gracefully, and over one-third (36.Bcl-2 lymphoma
