UnknownTreatment for preventing tuberculosis in children and adolescents: a randomized clinical trial of a 3-month, 12-dose regimen of a combination of rifapentine and isoniazid.

Importance

Three months of a once-weekly combination of rifapentine and isoniazid for treatment of latent tuberculosis infection is safe and effective for persons 12 years or older. Published data for children are limited.

Objectives

To compare treatment safety and assess noninferiori...

UnknownENSO Drives interannual variation of forest woody growth across the tropics.
Meteorological extreme events such as El Niño events are expected to affect tropical forest net primary production (NPP) and woody growth, but there has been no large-scale empirical validation of this expectation. We collected a large high-temporal resolution dataset (for 1-13 years depending upon ...

UnknownPeri-intubation adverse events and clinical outcomes in emergency department patients: the BARCO study.

Background

Emergency tracheal intubation in critically ill patients carries a high risk of complications, and practices vary substantially across different settings. Identifying risk factors and understanding how peri-intubation adverse events affect patient outcomes may guide standardizatio...

UnknownFast demographic traits promote high diversification rates of Amazonian trees.
The Amazon rain forest sustains the world's highest tree diversity, but it remains unclear why some clades of trees are hyperdiverse, whereas others are not. Using dated phylogenies, estimates of current species richness and trait and demographic data from a large network of forest plots, we show th...

UnknownUnraveling Amazon tree community assembly using Maximum Information Entropy: a quantitative analysis of tropical forest ecology.
In a time of rapid global change, the question of what determines patterns in species abundance distribution remains a priority for understanding the complex dynamics of ecosystems. The constrained maximization of information entropy provides a framework for the understanding of such complex systems...

UnknownKetamine, Etomidate, and Mortality in Emergency Department Intubations.

Importance

The choice of induction agent during rapid sequence intubation (RSI) of critically ill adults may affect clinical outcomes. Although ketamine and etomidate are frequently used for RSI, their comparative effectiveness remains controversial.

Objective

To compare the safety of...

UnknownGlobal Roadkill Data: a dataset on terrestrial vertebrate mortality caused by collision with vehicles.
Roadkill is widely recognized as one of the primary negative effects of roads on many wildlife species and also has socioeconomic impacts when they result in accidents. A comprehensive dataset of roadkill locations is essential to evaluate the factors contributing to roadkill risk and to enhance our...

UnknownBiased-corrected richness estimates for the Amazonian tree flora.
Amazonian forests are extraordinarily diverse, but the estimated species richness is very much debated. Here, we apply an ensemble of parametric estimators and a novel technique that includes conspecific spatial aggregation to an extended database of forest plots with up-to-date taxonomy. We show th...

UnknownRarity of monodominance in hyperdiverse Amazonian forests.
Tropical forests are known for their high diversity. Yet, forest patches do occur in the tropics where a single tree species is dominant. Such "monodominant" forests are known from all of the main tropical regions. For Amazonia, we sampled the occurrence of monodominance in a massive, basin-wide dat...

UnknownFunctional composition of the Amazonian tree flora and forests.
Plants cope with the environment by displaying large phenotypic variation. Two spectra of global plant form and function have been identified: a size spectrum from small to tall species with increasing stem tissue density, leaf size, and seed mass; a leaf economics spectrum reflecting slow to fast r...
