The aim of this study is to measure human mitochondrial sequence variability in the relatively slowly evolving gene cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COII) and estimate when common ancestral type existed. New COII sequences were determined for five humans (Homo sapiens), including some most mitochondrially divergent known; two pygmy chimpanzees (Pan paniscus); a chimpanzee (P. troglodytes). analyzed with those from another region (ND4-5). From class 1 (third codon position) data, relative...
Two novel members of the bacterial phylum 'Verrucomicrobia', strains CAG34T and CV41T, were isolated from guts Cephalotes rohweri varians ants, respectively. Strains CV41T coccoid, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, formed cream-coloured colonies on trypticase soy agar. Optimum growth occurred under an atmosphere 12-20 % O2 1 CO2 for both strains, although strain could not grow without supplemental CO2. Growth was possible NaCl concentrations 0.5-1.5 (w/v) temperatures 23-37 °C pH values...
Importance Telemedicine can increase access to endocrinology care for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but patterns of use and outcomes telemedicine specialty adults T2D beyond initial uptake in 2020 are not known. Objective To evaluate their association glycemic control among varying clinical complexity receiving T2D. Design, Setting, Participants Retrospective cohort study a single large integrated US health system. were who had visit from May October 2020. Data analyzed June 2022 2023....
Adding manure to croplands restores carbon and nutrients in depleted soils, while addressing a waste disposal need. This practice depends on the abundance activity of microbial communities break down inputs, which provide for growth release plant uptake. In 2-year field study, we measured changes soil physicochemical properties community composition conventional rotation summer sileage corn winter wheat. Three ratios mineral N fertilizer were used: all (100% from manure), mixed (50% by 50%...
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are common and can negatively affect the physical, mental, emotional, developmental health of a child acutely for lifetime. Trauma-informed care (TIC) in pediatric medical home helps counteract these effects by fostering supportive relationships building skills that promote resilience. As key figures home, clinicians must understand adverse TIC principles to effectively recognize, assess intervene early cases adversity, which ultimately promotes long-term...
Cephalotes 'turtle' ants are known to harbor a core group of gut symbionts, including members belonging the Gammaproteobacteria . Here, we describe cultivation and characterization strain CV58T, novel member order Pseudomonadales isolated from guts ant varians. Strain CV58T was rod-shaped, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile formed pale-yellow colonies on trypticase soy agar. Optimum growth occurred under an atmosphere 4–20 % (v/v) O2. Growth possible for CV58Tat NaCl concentrations 0–1.5 (w/v),...
We report here the near-complete genome sequence of "Candidatus Spirobacillus cienkowskii," a spiral-shaped, red-pigmented uncultivated bacterial pathogen Daphnia spp. The is 2.74 Mbp in size, has GC content 32.1%, and contains genes associated with motility production carotenoids, which could explain distinctive red color hosts infected this pathogen.
Cephalotes 'turtle' ants host a core group of gut-associated symbionts, but their potential contributions to ant nutrition and disease resistance remain uncharacterized in vitro. To gain better understanding the metabolic capability symbionts belonging Burkholderiales, we cultivated characterized strain CAG32T from guts rohweri ants. Strain was rod-shaped, Gram-stain-negative, motile formed pale-white colonies on trypticase soy agar. Optimum growth occurred under an atmosphere 20 % O2...
Here, we report the high-quality draft genome sequences of Opitutaceae sp. strains TAV3 and TAV4, which were isolated from hindgut wood-feeding termite Reticulitermes flavipes . Using a combination Illumina PacBio sequencing, constructed nearly complete assemblies totaling 5.84 5.91 Mbp in length for respectively. In addition, an silico analysis potential lignocellulose-digesting enzymes present these strains.
The purpose of this study was to investigate outcomes simultaneous CEA and CABG utilizing the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI). Additionally, we seek risks for both perioperative long-term mortality adverse neurological outcomes.All carotid endarterectomies in VQI between January 2003 May 2022 were queried. We identified 171,816 database. extracted 2 cohorts from these CEA. first group patients who underwent endarterectomy (CEA) coronary artery bypass (CABG) (N = 3137). second encompassed...
Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone-forming tumor with characteristic clinical and imaging features. Clinically, patients present pain at the site of tumor, worsening night relieved by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The typical features osteoid include round or oval intracortical radiolucent lesion surrounding cortical thickening reactive sclerosis. However, intra-articular often has that deviate from those osteoma, which may result in delayed diagnosis. We report case 20-year-old woman...
Abstract Aging is the primary risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and cognitive impairment from PD a major unmet biomedical challenge. Klotho, pleiotropic protein, extends lifespan enhances cognition. Whether longevity factors such as klotho can counteract PD-related mortality deficits in mice or associate with resistance to humans unknown. Here we show that transgenic elevation of increased lifespan, improved synaptic cognitive, but not motor, functions mice, decreased steady state...
83 Background: A consensus statement was recently published by SSO/ASTRO on margins for stage I and II invasive breast cancer treated with conserving surgery (BCS). We examined patients who underwent BCS to determine if margin status molecular subtype influence outcomes. Methods: the reviewed charts of 754 Stage I-III from 2003-2010. Margin defined as negative ≥ 2mm, close < 2mm positive tumor ink. Conventional receptor analyses were used markers classification (luminal A, luminal B, Her2...
98 Background: Recently, SSO/ASTRO published a consensus statement on margins for stage I and II invasive breast cancer treated with conserving surgery (BCS). We examined patients ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) who underwent BCS to determine the effect of clinicopathologic treatment factors including margin status, locoregional recurrence (LRR), cancer-specific (BCSS) overall survival (OS). Methods: From 2003-2010, we conducted retrospective chart review 253 consecutively diagnosed DCIS....
