Sustainable development has been a controversial global topic, and as a complex concept in recent years, it plays a key role in creating a favorable future for societies. read more Meanwhile, there are several problems in the process of implementing this approach, like epidemic diseases. Hence, in this study, the impact of climate and urban…[Read more]

Our findings confirm that Pocillopora corals activate conserved immune factors in response to LPS and identify transcription factors coordinating Pocillopora corals’ immune responses. Additionally, the strong effect of coral genotype on gene expression and bacteria communities highlights the importance of coral genotype in the investigation of…[Read more]

Soil phosphorus (P) availability in lowland tropical rainforests influences the distribution and growth of tropical tree species. Determining the P-acquisition strategies of tropical tree species could therefore yield insight into patterns of tree β-diversity across edaphic gradients. In particular, the synthesis of root phosphatases is likely to…[Read more]

Objective Missed abortion occurs in ∼ 15% of all clinical pregnancies. The pathogenesis is not clearly known. However, defective placentation resulting in maternal systemic inflammatory response is considered responsible for missed abortion. Platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are increasingly cited parameters o…[Read more]

Many research institutions, clinical diagnostic laboratories, and blood banks are desperately searching for a possibility to identify and quantify heme in different physiological and pathological settings as well as various research applications. The reasons for this are the toxicity of the heme and the fact that it acts as a hemolytic and…[Read more]

Value coding of external stimuli in general, and odor valence in particular, is crucial for survival. In flies, odor valence is thought to be coded by two types of neurons mushroom body output neurons (MBONs) and lateral horn (LH) neurons. MBONs are classified as neurons that promote either attraction or aversion, but not both, and they are…[Read more]

in English, French, Les estimations actuelles du poids de la tuberculose (TB) maladie et de la mortalité qui lui est due parmi les patients positifs à l’infection par le virus de l’immunodéficience humaine (VIH) dépendent beaucoup de méthodes indirectes, qui sont moins fiables pour vérifier les causes de décès au niveau individuel et de modèles…[Read more]

21 [2.16-12.58], p =  less then .001), stroke (HR = 2.69 [1.20-6.04], p = .017), or head trauma (HR = 3.39, [1.27-9.07], p = 0.15) had worse survival. CONCLUSIONS In-hospital mortality affected nearly 20% of the cohort, with worse survival among those without a diagnosis and with infections, stroke, head trauma. Future work should identify rea…[Read more]

Two quantum mechanical (QM)-cluster models are built for studying the acylation and deacylation mechanism and kinetics of Streptomyces R61 DD-peptidase with the penicillin G at atomic level detail. DD-peptidases are bacterial enzymes involved in the cross-linking of peptidoglycan to form the cell wall, necessary for bacterial survival. The…[Read more]
