Behavioural processes, Volume 166, 30 5 2019, Pages 103877 Does socio-ecology drive differences in alertness between wolves and dogs when resting? Kortekaas K, Kotrschal K
Variation in resting behaviour across animals may be driven by adaptations towards their environment. Wolves and dogs seem promising models to examine this idea as they share a common ancestor, but occupy different socio-ecological niches. While wolves generally avoid humans, hunt, defend their territory, and raise offspring cooperatively, most dogs live in human-shaped environments. Hence, we hypothesized wolves to be more alert towards their environment than dogs, i.e. the degree of activation... Abstract

Viruses, Volume 11, Issue 5, 25 4 2019, Pages E478 Animals as Reservoir for Human Norovirus. Villabruna N, Koopmans MPG, de Graaf M
Norovirus is the most common cause of non-bacterial gastroenteritis and is a burden worldwide. The increasing norovirus diversity is currently categorized into at least 10 genogroups which are further classified into more than 40 genotypes. In addition to humans, norovirus can infect a broad range of hosts including livestock, pets, and wild animals, e.g., marine mammals and bats. Little is known about norovirus infections in most non-human hosts, but the close genetic relatedness between some a... Abstract

Evolutionary human sciences, Volume 1, 23 4 2019, Pages e2 Animal cultures: how we've only seen the tip of the iceberg. Schuppli C, van Schaik CP
For humans we implicitly assume that the way we do things is the product of social learning and thus cultural. For animals, this conclusion requires proof. Here, we first review the most commonly used procedure for documenting animal culture: the method of exclusion, which charts geographic behavioral variation between populations as evidence for culture. Using published data, we show that, whereas it is an adequate proof of principle, the method of exclusion has major deficiencies when capturin... Abstract

International journal of stroke : official journal of the International Stroke Society, Volume 15, Issue 2, 15 3 2019, Pages 159-166 Thrombolysis related symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage in estimated versus measured body weight. Truc My Nguyen T, van de Stadt SI, Groot AE, Wermer MJ, den Hertog HM, Droste HM, van Zwet EW, van Schaik SM, Coutinho JM, Kruyt ND
Background and aim: In acute ischemic stroke, under- or overestimation of body weight can lead to dosing errors of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator with consequent reduced efficacy or increased risk of hemorrhagic complications. Measurement of body weight is more accurate than estimation of body weight but potentially leads to longer door-to-needle times. Our aim was to assess if weight modality (estimation of body weight versus measurement of body weight) is associated with (i) symptoma... Abstract

Background: Fibrinogen is an essential hemostatic factor and cardiovascular disease risk factor. Early attempts at evaluating the causal effect of fibrinogen on coronary heart disease (CHD) and myocardial infraction (MI) using Mendelian randomization (MR) used single variant approaches, and did not take advantage of recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) or multi-variant, pleiotropy robust MR methodologies. Methods and findings: We evaluated evidence for a causal effect of fibrinogen on b... Abstract
