Comparative abundance and diversity of populations of the Pseudomonas syringae and Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae species complexes throughout the Durance River catchment from its Fren... by Morris, C.E., Lacroix, C., Chandeysson, C., Guilbaud, C., Monteil, C., Piry, S., Rochelle Newall, E., Fiorini, S., Van Gijsegem, F., Barny, M.A., Berge, O.

“…Here we have compared the seasonal dynamics of populations of the Pseudomonas syringae (Psy) and the Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae (SRP) species complexes along a 270 km stretch of the Durance River from the upstream alpine reaches to the downstream agricultural production areas at the confluence with the Rhone River at Avignon. Among 168 samples collected at 21 sites in fall, winter, spring and summer of 2016 and 2017, Psy strains were detected at all sampling sites and in 156 of the samples at population densities up to 105 bacteria L-1. …”

Association of the blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio and all-cause mortality in critical ill acute ischemic stroke patients: a retrospective cohort study of MIMIC-IV datab... by Yongwei Huang, Zongping Li, Jianjun Wang, Jianjun Wang, Decai Wang, Decai Wang, Xiaoshuang Yin

“…In the subgroup analysis of 365-day ACM, subgroups of HTN, CRRT, and malignancy tumor had an interaction effect (all Pfor interaction < 0.05).ConclusionIn this retrospective cohort study, our findings reveal that a confluence of deteriorated nutritional and renal function is significantly linked to heightened risks of ACM, and BAR may operate as an effective predictive indicator for AIS patients in ICUs. …”

Proliferative Verrucous Leukoplakia of the Gingiva: An Early Lesion Refractory to Surgical Excision by Dhanushka Leuke Bandara, Primali Rukmal Jayasooriya, Ruwan Duminda Jayasinghe

“…The presence of koilocytic cells in the superficial epithelium led to immunohistochemical investigations with p16 antibody, which showed strong nuclear positivity and slight cytoplasmic positivity in >50% of the cells with >25% confluency. However, it was not possible to confirm the presence of HPV infection with further investigations due to logistic reasons. …”
