Unraveling the mechanisms underlying the maintenance of species diversity is a central pursuit in ecology. It has been hypothesized that ectomycorrhizal (EcM) in contrast to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can reduce tree species diversity in local communities, which remains to be tested at the global scale. To address this gap, we analyzed global forest inventory data and revealed that the relationship between tree species richness and EcM tree proportion varied along environmental gradients.

Background: The surge of group A (GAS) infections in regional countries warranted attention in the post-COVID-19 era. The resurgence of notifiable scarlet fever in China has been a public health issue since 2011. We conducted a consecutive 14-year surveillance study to analyse dynamic epidemiological profiles of scarlet fever from the perspective of epidemic trend and molecular evolution of GAS strains.

Background: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is a rare autoimmune disease that often leads to end-stage renal disease. The goal of treatment is to reduce disease progression so that patients are less likely to develop kidney failure in their natural lifetime. Recent clinical trial results show that Tarpeyo, a targeted-release formulation of budesonide designed to deliver the drug directly to gut-associated lymphoid tissue, reduces estimated glomerular filtration rate loss, potentially modifying the disease and thus prolonging the time to kidney failure.

Background: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are used to prevent thrombosis in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and venous thromboembolism (VTE). Despite their clinical benefits, some patients abandon their DOAC prescription.

Objective: To retrospectively evaluate the association between patient out-of-pocket (OOP) costs and abandonment of the first DOAC prescription among patients with NVAF or VTE in the United States.

Article Synopsis
  • A new species of urostylid ciliate named Holostichides (Holostichides) parachardezi was identified in a tropical region of China, characterized by specific morphological features like size and unique structures.
  • The study detailed its diagnostic features, including macronuclear nodules and a complex array of cirri, highlighting its terrestrial habitat.
  • Molecular analysis confirmed the classification of Holostichides as a distinct genus, with a typical developmental pattern observed in its growth stages.
