Background: Young sexual and gender minority (SGM) men experience disproportionate risk of drug-related harms. Improving access to drug checking services (DCS), where people can receive information about the contents their illicit drugs, is critical facilitate safer use among this population.

Infant walkers have been described as a cause of unexpected trauma in the first year life. We conducted prospective study to determine mechanism and pattern walker injuries presenting an urban pediatric teaching hospital. also studied patterns use. All sustained by infants baby during 1-year period were reviewed. The 139 included 29 fractures. most severe caused falls down stairs; these accounted for 123 injuries. Stair gates present one third all falls. At follow-up 2 months later, two...
The wheat industry is in need of an automated, economical, and rapid means detecting whole kernelswith internal insect infestation. feasibility the Perten Single Kernel Characterization System (SKCS) to detect internalinsect infestations was studied. SKCS monitors compression force electrical conductance as individual kernels arecrushed. Samples hard red winter (HRW) soft (SRW) infested with rice weevil [Sitophilus oryzae(L.)] lesser grain borer [Rhyzopertha dominica (F.)] were run through...
In this commentary, we discuss evidence for the phylogenetic affiliations of Tortotubus protuberans, subject Martin Smith's 2016 paper in Botanical Journal Linnean Society entitled, 'Cord-forming Palaeozoic fungi terrestrial assemblages'. We agree that fossilized, branching, somatic filaments probably represent fungal hyphae. were not convinced by proposal T. protuberans represents Dikarya, clade includes most modern moulds, yeasts and mushrooms. To justify classification, Smith relied on...
