[This corrects the article DOI 10.1371/journal.pone.0235500.].The microbial oxidation of metal sulfides plays a major role in the formation of acid rock drainage (ARD). We aimed to broadly characterize the ARD at Ely Brook, which drains the Ely Copper Mine Superfund site in Vermont, USA, using metagenomics and metatranscriptomics to assess the…[Read more]

Lake Sinai Viruses (LSV) are common RNA viruses of honey bees (

) that frequently reach high abundance but are not linked to overt disease. LSVs are genetically heterogeneous and collectively widespread, but despite frequent detection in surveys, the ecological and geographic factors structuring their distribution in

are not understood. BA…[Read more]

ecreased the spread of COVID-19 in South Korea and differentially affected cluster infections of SARS-CoV-2.

Chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) in adolescents is common and disabling. Teenagers in the United Kingdom are more likely to recover if they access specialist care, but most do not have access to a local…[Read more]

The clavipectoral fascial plane block (CPB) is a novel regional anesthesia technique that has been utilized for clavicular fracture surgery. While the cutaneous innervation of the skin above the clavicle is well-known to be supplied by the supraclavicular nerve of the superficial cervical plexus (SCP), the sensory innervation of the clavicle…[Read more]

Objective The objective was to compare the practical aspects of providing medication abortions through telemedicine and in-person clinic visits so that clinics can use this information when planning to add this service. Study design We conducted a comparative retrospective chart review comparing telemedicine medication abortions to a control group…[Read more]

Millions of somatic mutations have recently been discovered in cancer genomes. These mutations in cancer genomes occur due to internal and external mutagenesis forces. Decoding the mutational processes by examining their unique patterns has successfully revealed many known and novel signatures from whole exome data, but many still remain…[Read more]

Dear Editor,International Journal of Sports MedicineThe analysis of the study entitled “Exercise Interventions and Cardiovascular Health in Childhood Cancer a Meta-Analysis” 1 was very interesting. The authors of this meta-analysis aimed to summarize the evidence on the effects of physical training intervention over three weeks on cardiovascular…[Read more]

The results reveal that the open porosity is consistently lower than the total porosity and it decreases with increasing compression pressure. The scattering losses reduce significantly for the soaked samples and the scattering centers (particle and/or pore sizes) are of the order of or somewhat smaller than the terahertz wavelength. This new…[Read more]

68, 2119.82, 938.11, and 2360.18 µmol TE/g, respectively. The minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC – 1.5 mg/mL) against the selected foodborne pathogens was obtained with thermosonicated ethyl acetate blood fruit extract. In the present study, it was observed that the thermosonicated ethyl acetate extract exhibits maximum antioxidant and…[Read more]

Construction workers are exposed to a mixture of substances in the workplace considered carcinogenic. This study aimed to characterise gene-specific changes in DNA methylation over the workweek in this population as this type of environmental exposure has not been studied extensively.

We evaluated their DNA methylation in 4 gene-promoter…[Read more]

The grasping motions, properties of the objects can be further analyzed through the acquired tactile information in time and spatial domains, demonstrating the potential applications of the tactile sensor in intelligent robotics and human-machine interfaces.Ticks are important ectoparasites of dogs and cats. Infestations can result in itching and…[Read more]

Gentamicin-impregnated cement spacer can induce nephrotoxicity in patients presenting major renal impairment susceptibility.Proximal humeral fractures (PHF) are the third most common non-vertebral fragility fractures after hip and distal radius. It still controversial which treatment might be more appropriate, and surgically treated outcomes…[Read more]
