Aim Neonatal mortality accounts for most infant mortality.Various factors influence the risk of neonatal mortality.Available estimates of survival and mortality in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are needed to provide antenatal counseling and guide management decisions.This study aimed to determine the predictors of admitted neonatal mortalit
Rapid diagnosis of Talaromyces marneffei infection by metagenomic next-generation sequencing technology in a Chinese cohort of inborn errors of immunity
Talaromyces marneffei (T.marneffei) is an opportunistic pathogen.Patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI) have been increasingly diagnosed with T.marneffei in recent years.The disseminated infection of T.marneffei can be life-threatening without timely and effective antifungal therapy.Rapid and accurate pathogenic microbiological diagnosis is
Gillnet selectivity to roach, Rutilus rutilus, from the Szczecin Lagoon, Poland
Background.Roach, Rutilus rutilus, comprise a large proportion of the total catch in the Szczecin Lagoon, and are caught mainly as bycatch in gillnets targeting perch, Perca fluviatilis.The minimum landing length for roach and perch is 17 cm TL and the minimum mesh size is 30 mm bar length.However, little is known about the selectivity of 1021 roac
Use of a three-dimensional printed anatomical model for tumor management in a pediatric patient
The purpose of this study was to investigate the usage of an anatomical model to improve surgical planning of a complex schwannoma resection.As advancements in additive manufacturing continue to prosper, new applications of this valuable technology are being implemented in the medical field.One of the most recent applications has been in the develo
Functionally overlapping intra- and extralysosomal pathways promote bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate synthesis in mammalian cells
Abstract Bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP) is a major phospholipid constituent of intralumenal membranes in late endosomes/lysosomes, where it regulates the degradation and sorting of lipid cargo.Recent observations suggest that the Batten disease-associated protein CLN5 functions as lysosomal BMP synthase.Here, we show that Gloves transacylation
