    Abstract Background: Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men globally. A range of management options are available for prostate cancer, including surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, or surveillance. Conservative strategies include active surveillance and watchful waiting, which differ in their intent.
    Objective: We provide a targeted instructive management algorithm for improving understanding of conservative strategies in prostate cancer.
    Discussion: Active surveillance involves close monitoring with curative intent when there is evidence of disease progression. In contrast, watchful waiting is palliative in intent and focuses on delaying treatment until symptoms or complications develop. Conservative approaches have demonstrated similar long-term oncological outcomes to radical treatment, while reducing harm from overtreatment, and maintaining quality of life by avoiding potential side effects such as urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. The decision to employ a conservative approach is determined by both patient and disease factors. Conservative management strategies play a vital role in the management of prostate cancer.

    Abstract Ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) experiments on a cyclic IMS instrument were used to examine heterogeneous distributions of structures found in the 15+ to 18+ charge states of the hemoglobin tetramer (Hb). The resolving power of IMS measurements is known to increase with increasing drift-region length. This effect is not significant for Hb charge states as peaks were shown to broaden with increasing drift-region length. This observation suggests that multiple structures with similar cross sections may be present. To examine this hypothesis, selections of drift time distributions were isolated and subsequently reinjected into the mobility region for additional separation. These IMS-IMS experiments demonstrate that selected regions separate further upon additional passes around the drift cell, consistent with the idea that initial resolving power was limited due to the presence of many closely related conformations. Additional variable temperature electrospray ionization (vT-ESI) experiments were conducted to study how changing the solution temperature affects solution conformations. Some features in these IMS-IMS studies were observed to change similarly with solution temperature compared to features in the single IMS distribution. Other features changed differently in the selected mobility data, indicating that solution structures that were obscured upon IMS analysis because of the complex heterogeneity of the original distribution are discernible after reducing the number of conformers that are analyzed by further IMS analysis. These results illustrate that the combination of vT-ESI with IMS-IMS is useful for resolving and exploring conformer distributions and stabilities in systems that exhibit a large degree of structural heterogeneity.

    Abstract Abstract People’s decisions are often informed by the choices of others. Evidence accumulation models provide a mechanistic account of how such social information enters the choice process. Previous research taking this approach has suggested two fundamentally different cognitive mechanisms by which people incorporate social information. On the one hand, individuals may update their evidence level instantaneously when observing social information. On the other hand, they may gradually integrate social information over time. These accounts make different predictions on how the timing of social information impacts its influence. The former predicts that timing has no impact on social information uptake. The latter predicts that social information which arrives earlier has a stronger impact because its impact increases over time. We tested both predictions in two studies in which participants first observed a perceptual stimulus. They then entered a deliberation phase in which social information arrived either early or late before reporting their judgment. In Experiment 1, early social information remained visible until the end and was thus displayed for longer than late social information. In Experiment 2, which was preregistered, early and late social information were displayed for an equal duration. In both studies, early social information had a larger impact on individuals’ judgments. Further, an evidence accumulation analysis found that social information integration was best explained by both an immediate update of evidence and continuous integration over time. Because in social systems, timing plays a key role (e.g., propagation of information in social networks), our findings inform theories explaining the temporal evolution of social impact and the emergent social dynamics.

    Abstract Despite the development of network science, we lack clear heuristics for how far different disturbance types propagate within and across species interaction networks. We discuss the mechanisms of disturbance propagation in ecological networks, and propose that disturbances can be categorized into structural, functional, and transmission types according to their spread and effect on network structure and functioning. We describe the properties of species and their interaction networks and metanetworks that determine the indirect, spatial, and temporal extent of propagation. We argue that the sampling scale of ecological studies may have impeded predictions regarding the rate and extent that a disturbance spreads, and discuss directions to help ecologists to move towards a predictive understanding of the propagation of impacts across interacting communities and ecosystems.

    Abstract Spatiotemporal dynamics of natural odor environment have informative features for animals navigating to an odor source. Population activity in the olfactory bulb (OB) has been shown to follow plume dynamics to a moderate degree (Lewis et al., 2021), but it is unknown whether the ability to follow plume dynamics is driven by individual cells or whether it emerges at the population level. Previous research has explored the responses of individual OB cells to isolated features of plumes, but it is difficult to adequately sample these features as it is still undetermined which features navigating mice employ during olfactory guided search. Here we released odor from an upwind odor source and simultaneously recorded both odor concentration dynamics and cellular response dynamics in awake, head-fixed mice. We found that longer timescale features of odor concentration dynamics were encoded at both the cellular and population level. At the cellular level, plume onset was encoded across all trials and plume offset was encoded for high concentration odors, but not low concentration odors. Although cellular level tracking of plume dynamics was observed to be weak, we found that at the population level, OB activity distinguished whiffs and blanks (accurately detected odor presence versus absence) throughout the duration of a plume. Even ~20 OB cells were enough to accurately encode these features. Our findings indicate that the full range of odor concentration dynamics and high frequency fluctuations are not encoded by OB spiking activity. Instead, relatively lower-frequency dynamics of plumes, such as plume onset, plume offset, whiffs, and blanks, are represented in the OB.

    Abstract People's decisions are often informed by the choices of others. Evidence accumulation models provide a mechanistic account of how such social information enters the choice process. Previous research taking this approach has suggested two fundamentally different cognitive mechanisms by which people incorporate social information.
