Neutral dynamics occur in evolution if all types are 'effectively equal' in their reproductive success, where the definition of 'effectively equal' depends on the population size and the details of mutations. Empirically observed neutral genetic evolution in extremely large clonal populations can only be explained under current models if selection is completely absent. Such models typically con...

The imidopyrrolecarboxylate 3(-) unexpectedly forms stable dimers (K(ass) = 130 M(-1) in CHCl(3)/DMSO, 1 : 1, v/v) despite the fact that two anions have to interact. The dimer is more stable than an analogous neutral amidopyrrolecarboxylic acid dimer (K(ass) < 10 M(-1)) underlining the importance of charged H-bonds compared to neutral ones.

Despite the World Health Organization's declaration that the spread of tuberculosis is a global emergency and despite the implementation of strong tuberculosis-control initiatives, this highly infectious disease continues to affect all vulnerable populations, including the elderly population (age > or =65 years). Tuberculosis in aging adults remains a clinical and epidemiological challenge. Aty...

The Dublin Declaration on Maternal Healthcare-issued by self-declared pro-life activists in Ireland in 2012-states unequivocally that abortion is never medically necessary, even to save the life of a pregnant woman.
