Article Abstract
In a cohort of 534 patients treated for complex pulmonary disease, those who failed to achieve culture conversion were older, had higher proportions of males and cavity presence, were more likely to receive clofazimine and aminoglycosides, but less likely to receive rifampicin, and had a shorter overall treatment duration. Time-varying analysis of individual drug effects on time to culture conversion identified rifampicin as being associated with a reduced culture conversion rate (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.959; 95% confidence interval, .924-.995; = .027), suggesting a potentially negative effect on complex pulmonary disease outcomes, whereas other drugs showed no significant association.

is a thermophilic acetogenic bacterium capable of thriving at elevated temperatures up to 66°C. It metabolizes carbohydrates such as glucose, mannose, and fructose and can also grow lithotrophically utilizing hydrogen (H) and carbon dioxide (CO) or carbon monoxide (CO), with acetate serving as its main product. A simple and efficient genome editing system for would not only facilitate the understanding of the physiological function of enzymes involved in energy and carbon metabolism but also enable metabolic engineering.

Unlabelled: CO concentration mechanisms (CCMs) are important in maintaining the high efficiency of photosynthesis of marine algae. Aquatic photoautotrophs have two types of CCMs: biophysical CCMs, based on the conversion of inorganic carbon, and biochemical CCMs, based on the formation of C acid intermediates. However, the contribution of biophysical and biochemical CCMs to algal carbon fixation remains unclear.

The genus Alternaria comprises a wide range of ubiquitous plant pathogens that affect various host plants. Certain mycoviruses can induce changes in the biological characteristics and virulence of host fungi, offering potential for biocontrol in managing fungal plant diseases. Here, we identified a mycovirus with a high degree of homology to Alternaria arborescens victorivirus 1 (AaVV1), which was previously reported from Alternaria arborescens, in the QRH strain of the heterologous host Alternaria gomphrenae.

Background: Based on results from preclinical and clinical studies, a five-drug combination of isoniazid, rifapentine, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, and clofazimine was identified with treatment shortening potential for drug-susceptible tuberculosis; the Clo-Fast trial aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of this regimen. We compared 3 months of isoniazid, rifapentine, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, and clofazimine, administered with a clofazimine loading dose, to the standard 6 month regimen of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol in drug-susceptible tuberculosis.
Methods: Clo-Fast was a phase 2c open-label trial recruiting participants at six sites in five countries.

Objective: Breast cancer remains the most prevalent cancer among females globally, with an alarming rise in incidence. Conventional treatments like chemotherapy face several limitations, necessitating innovative approaches. In this study, the efficacy of a novel chemo-/sonodynamic/photothermal triune therapy utilizing paclitaxel-loaded gold nanoparticles (PTX@GNPs) for MCF-7 breast cancer cells treatment was explored.
