Fecal microbiome change in patients with ulcerative colitis after fecal microbiota transplantation by A. Y. Tikunov, V. V. Morozov, A. N. Shvalov, A. V. Bardasheva, E. V. Shrayner, O. A. Maksimova, I. O. Voloshina, V. V. Morozova, V. V. Vlasov, N. V. Tikunova

“…It should be noted that the proportion of Lactobacillusspp. increased ten-fold and their species composition significantly expanded. According to the obtained results, a preliminary conclusion can be made that even a single FT procedure can lead to an increase in the biodiversity of the gastrointestinal microbiota in patients and to the optimization of the taxonomic composition of the microbiota.…”

Five-year carry-over effects in dune slack vegetation response to hydrology by Lisanne van Willegen, Hilary Wallace, Angela Curreli, Ciara Dwyer, John Ratcliffe, Davey L. Jones, Graham Williams, Martin Hollingham, Laurence Jones

“…The best performing hydrology metric was the unweighted 5-year average mean spring water level (MSL), linked to unweighted mean EbF using vascular plant species only. Maximum water level (MAX) also performed well, but MSL was preferred as MAX can be enhanced or truncated by topography leading to anomalies for individual slacks. …”

Development of autonomic innervation at the venous pole of the heart: bridging the gap from mice to human by Fleur Zwanenburg, Thomas A. Bos, Arend D. J. Ten Harkel, Monique C. Haak, Nathan D. Hahurij, Robert E. Poelmann, Conny J. van Munsteren, Lambertus J. Wisse, Nico A. Blom, Marco C. DeRuiter, Monique R. M. Jongbloed

“…Morphologically, cANS development followed a similar sequence with neural crest-derived nerves entering the venous pole in proximity to the developing pulmonary vein in both species. However, the timing of differentiation into sympathetic or parasympathetic phenotype was markedly distinct, as human autonomic markers emerged relatively later when related to major cardiogenesis. …”

Rapid diagnostic testing combined with an immediate infectious disease consultation increases the rate of septic intensive care unit patients on targeted antibiotic therapy by Evelyn Kramme, Nadja Käding, Nadja Käding, Tobias Graf, Karolin Schmoll, Heidi Linnen, Katharina Nagel, Esther Grote-Levi, Susanne Hauswaldt, Dennis Nurjadi, Dennis Nurjadi, Jan Rupp, Jan Rupp, Jan Rupp

“…In the control group, adaptation of the initial antibiotic therapy would have been recommended for 81.8% of patients, if the species identification had been available. Overall adherence to the local antibiotic therapy guideline for sepsis was significantly lower in the control than in the intervention group (27.8% versus 89.3%, p<0.001).ConclusionIntegration of an RDT system in the microbiological workflow for septic patients in ICU combined with a standardized ID intervention led to a significantly higher percentage of adequate antimicrobial treatment and greater adherence to local antibiotic therapy recommendations, even in a setting where 24/7 service is not available.…”

Theileria annulata infects B-cells in sheep, which display lower dissemination potential compared to T. lestoquardi-infected ovine B-cells by Shahin Tajeri, Perle Latré de Laté, Johanneke D. Hemmink, Christina Vrettou, Gordon Langsley, W. Ivan Morrison

“…Theileria lestoquardi infection is highly pathogenic in its natural sheep and goat hosts while T. annulata infection usually causes a mild disease in these species. Interestingly, T. annulata does not produce merozoites/piroplasms in sheep and goats, therefore it is not tick-transmissible. …”
