Atypical Celiac Disease: From Recognizing to Managing by B. Admou, L. Essaadouni, K. Krati, K. Zaher, M. Sbihi, L. Chabaa, B. Belaabidia, A. Alaoui-Yazidi

“…The nonclassic clinical presentation of celiac disease (CD) becomes increasingly common in physician’s daily practice, which requires an awareness of its many clinical faces with atypical, silent, and latent forms. Besides the common genetic background (HLA DQ2/DQ8) of the disease, other non-HLA genes are now notably reported with a probable association to atypical forms. …”

Bacterial Performance in Crack Healing and its Role in Creating Sustainable Construction by Digafe Alemu, Wubetie Demiss, Gamachis Korsa

“…As compared to conventional concrete, bacterial concrete was greater by 35.15% in compressive strength, 24.32% in average tensile strength, and 17.24% in average flexural strength, and it was 4 times lower in water absorption and 8 times lower in acid resistivity than conventional concrete. Genetic engineering has great potential to further enhance the mechanical strength of bacterial concrete for use in crack repairs in existing buildings.…”

A New ‘<i>cyclotis</i>-morphotype’ Species of Tube-Nosed Bat (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae: <i>Murina</i>) from China by Xin Mou, Yishun Qian, Wen Wang, Wenxiang Zhang, Jianjie Wang, Song Li

“…Morphologically, these specimens can be distinguished from <i>M. pluvialis</i> and other congeneric species based on a combination of body size, hair distribution, fur colour, and skull and teeth characteristics; molecularly, an analysis of Cyt <i>b</i> and COI gene sequences showed that these specimens form a monophyletic group with <i>M. pluvialis</i> with high posterior probability and bootstrap support values. Furthermore, the genetic distance between our specimens and <i>M. pluvialis</i> was greater than the minimum threshold for interspecific differentiation, indicating that they are phylogenetically close but have diverged. …”
