Bacterial community composition was significantly correlated with mean annual precipitation in water, but with nitrogen compounds in sediment. The co-occurrence network of water included more keystone species (e.g., CL500-29 marine group, Nocardioides spp., and Bacillus spp.) than the sediment network. These keystone species showed stronger…[Read more]

The chromosome, contig3, and contig5 also carry bla CTX-64 and mdf(A), tet(A), and erm(B), tet(M) and aadA22, respectively. Strain N7 also harbors virulence factors such as fimH, flu, ecpABCDE, sfmA, hlyE, and gadA. This study demonstrates the emergence of high level carbapenem resistant XDR E. coli strain N7 containing bla NDM-5 in aquatic…[Read more]

In LRNs, WM microstructure was altered in the tracts underlying the primary motor and sensorimotor cortices. Moreover, our structural findings in WM were related to changes in functional connectivity, assessed with resting-state functional MRI data in the same cohort, through analyses in regions of interest (ROIs). Significant changes in WM…[Read more]

Weight loss is a common phenomenon among the elderly and is identified as an important indicator of health status. Many epidemiology studies have investigated the association between weight loss and dementia, but the results were inconsistent.

To examine and determine the association between weight loss and the risk of dementia.…[Read more]

Academic centers managed more patients nonoperatively. Multivariable logistic regression suggests older age, facility type, location, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American ethnicity were associated with nonoperative management. CONCLUSION The vast majority of PTmC in the United States is treated with an operation. A small but significant increase…[Read more]

Xylella fastidiosa is an economically important plant pathogenic bacterium of global importance associated, since 2013, with a devastating epidemic in olive trees in Italy. Since then, several outbreaks of this pathogen have been reported in other EU member countries including Spain, France and Portugal. In Spain, the three major subspecies…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Vitamin D exerts multiple pleiotropic effects beyond its role in calcium-phosphate metabolism. Growing evidence suggest an association between hypovitaminosis D and sleep disorders, thus increasing the interest on the role of this vitamin in the regulatory mechanisms of sleep-wake cycle. OBJECTIVE To explore and summarize the current…[Read more]

021) and CNVs (9 of 397 vs 24 of 562, p=0.065) compared with individuals who manifested both autism and ID (IQ less then 70). Pathogenic variants disrupting autism-associated genes conferred a 4.85-fold increased risk (p=0.011) for comorbid ID, while de novo variants observed in individuals with high-functioning autism disrupted genes with little…[Read more]
