ABSTRACT Microbes commonly organize into communities consisting of hundreds of species involved in complex interactions with each other.16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) amplicon profiling provides snapshots that reveal the phylogenies and abundance profiles of these microbial communities.These snapshots, when collected from multiple samples, can reveal
Crop specialization has become an important way to promote agricultural efficiency and increase incomes for farmers in China.Under extreme weather conditions, this is likely to increase resistance to drought risk mitigation and lead to greater drought damage.In order to make more sophisticated mitigation policy decisions, it requires efforts to ass
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is caused by mutations in genes encoding sarcomere proteins.Mutations in MYL3, encoding the essential light chain of myosin, are rare and have been associated with sudden death.Both recessive and dominant patterns of inheritance have been suggested.We studied a large family with a 38-year-old asymptomatic HCM-affec
Poly vinylidene chloride-vinyl chloride emulsions (PVDC) were added as a substitute for chlorinated paraffin (CP) in the preparation of ultra-low density fiberboards (ULDFs).The micromorphology and fire performance of ULDFs were investigated using a scanning electron microscope, limiting oxygen index instrument, and cone calorimeter.The results sho
Purpose: Androgens given for gender affirmation have been implicated in the pathophysiology of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in transgender patients.10 cases of transgender adults with IIH have been published but this association has not been described in younger patients.Herein we describe the first case of IIH in an adolescent transg
