The Apiospora genus comprises filamentous fungi with promising potential, though its full capabilities remain undiscovered. In this study, we present the first genome assembly of an Apiospora arundinis isolate, demonstrating a highly complete and contiguous assembly estimated to 48.8 Mb, with an N99 of 3.0 Mb. Our analysis predicted a... Read more

Cell sorting is a technique commonly used in academic and biotechnology laboratories in order to separate out cells or particles of interest from heterogeneous populations. Cell sorters use the same principles as flow cytometry analyzers, but instead of cell populations passing to the waste of the instrument, they can be... Read more

CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE: In adult ICU patients with COVID-19 and severe hypoxemia, targeting a Pao2 of 60 mm Hg resulted in more days alive without life support in 90 days than targeting a Pao2 of 90 mm Hg.... Read more

Metaorganism research contributes substantially to our understanding of the interaction between microbes and their hosts, as well as their co-evolution. Most research is currently focused on the bacterial community, while archaea often remain at the sidelines of metaorganism-related research. Here, we describe the archaeome of a total of eleven classical... Read more

CONCLUSION: Less than 60% of patients with newly diagnosed symptomatic PAD claimed a prescription for antiplatelet therapy within 90 days of diagnosis, and both adherence and persistence were moderate during the first year after diagnosis. These findings underscore the importance of efforts to improve the initiation and continuation of antiplatelet... Read more

The host immune system plays a significant role in managing and clearing pathogen material during an infection, but this complex process presents numerous challenges from a modeling perspective. There are many mathematical and statistical models for these kinds of processes that take into account a wide range of events that... Read more

Clustering is a critical step in the analysis of single-cell data, as it enables the discovery and characterization of putative cell types and states. However, most popular clustering tools do not subject clustering results to statistical inference testing, leading to risks of overclustering or underclustering data and often resulting in...

CONCLUSION: Nonobstructive CAD was the predominant contributor to total atherosclerotic plaque volume in both subclinical and clinically manifested CAD. Nonobstructive fibrous, fibrofatty and necrotic core tissue volumes increased with worsening clinical presentation, while nonobstructive dense calcium tissue volumes did not.... Read more

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Results of this case-crossover study suggest that triptan initiation was associated with higher risk of ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction. For the individual patient with low background cardiovascular risk, the risk of an ischemic event after triptan initiation was very low.... Read more
