At a very molecular level, this is an incredible example of where the same parents, the same environment, and the same gestational experience can yield significantly different out- comes in brain development that may then predict long-term sex differences in disease risk and resilience. Also, ...
Further, these studies may also bring us closer to clinical utility: the diagnostic challenge for a clinician is rarely ‘whether’ an individual will develop a disorder: rather, the challenge is to identify the correct diagnosis among several similar possibilities, or to predict disease prior to ...

Nephronophthisis is often accompanied by anomalies in other organs (Table2). This is not surprising given the fact that primary cilia occur almost ubiquitously throughout the human body [4]. Extrarenal features that are often observed include retinal degeneration, hepatobiliary disease, cerebellar vermi...
The inclusion of sex as a biological variable in research is absolutely essential for improving our understanding of disease mechanisms contributing to risk and resilience. Studies focusing on examining sex differences have demonstrated across many level
In the past years, cumulative evidence has convincingly demonstrated that the work environment is a critical determinant of workers' mental health. Nevertheless, much less attention has been dedicated towards understanding the pathways through which othe
In the setting of stage IV disease, with multiorgan metastases having responded to targeted therapy, most surgeons would choose local consolidative surgery. This is particularly interesting in the setting of an increasing body of evidence to support this approach,20, 21, 22, 23, 24 with surgical...
