Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) is a disorder of adrenal steroid biosynthesis, leading to hypocortisolism, hypoaldosteronism, and hyperandrogenism.Impaired quality of life (QoL) has been demonstrated in women with CAH, but data on men with CAH are scarce.We hypothesized that disease severity and poor tr
During the first millennium of Christian presence in Ethiopia (from the fourth century), church architecture was first in accordance with, and later partially based on, the basilica plan.Circa the early sixteenth century, a new and unique church plan appeared, circular, concentric, and with a square sanctuary, and became the dominant church plan in
SARS-CoV-2 variants have evolved over time in recent years, demonstrating immune evasion of vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies directed against the original S protein.Updated S-targeted vaccines provide a high level of protection against circulating variants of SARS-CoV-2, but this protection declines over time due to ongoing virus evolution.T
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impacted Black Americans.Rates of hospitalization, mortality, and morbidity increased and racial inequities in unemployment, job benefits, and working conditions widened.This study identifies specific factors associated with the well-being of Black adults in the U.S.workforce one year into the pa
Many copepods display a swim-and-sink behaviour, which is not energetically efficient but probably aids in perceiving and capturing diatom chains.Here, computational fluid dynamics was employed to calculate the mechanical power required by a negatively buoyant, self-propelled copepod in swim-and-sink versus hovering.The results show that upward swi
