this genus. We designed three novel primer sets that enabled quantification of comammox Nitrospira clades A and B and sNOB with high coverage, specificity, and accuracy in various environments. With the designed primer sets, sNOB and comammox Nitrospira were differentially estimated in drinking water systems, and we found that comammox clade A…[Read more]

Background A female survival advantage in cutaneous melanoma has been long recognized. However, whether this extends across all age groups, with risk stratification using the latest prognostic staging system or in the current era of efficacious systemic therapies is unknown. Therefore, we evaluated whether sex-based differences in melanoma…[Read more]

2%-4.8% of HIV infections over 20 years; provision to high-risk individuals only has similar impact at lower total cost. The incremental cost per HIV infection averted is lower in high-risk vs. all-risk sub-populations within female adolescents ($507 vs. $4,537), male adolescents ($2,108 vs. $5,637), young women ($1,592 vs. $10,323) and young men…[Read more]

The resolution of macrophage infiltration was reduced in both the lung and the peritoneal cavity of HIV-Tg mice. Taken together, our study described the organ-specific alteration of macrophage dynamics in HIV-Tg mice. The delayed resolution of macrophage infiltration might constitute a risk factor for the development of multiple comorbidities in…[Read more]

Younger women, women with less education, Hispanic or Latina women, and nonwhite women were more likely to indicate that cost was important in their decision to breastfeed for more than 12 months (all chi-square p  less then  0.02). Women with more children were less likely to discuss their decision with their friends or partner (e.g., women wit…[Read more]
