Soil microbiome composition is highly responsive to precipitation and plant composition manipulations in a field biodiversity experiment by Haley M. Burrill, Haley M. Burrill, Susan M. Magnoli, James D. Bever

“…Microbiome response to plant composition was largely independent of the response to precipitation, except for oomycetes, which had greater response to plant composition in high precipitation.DiscussionThese findings build upon prior findings that these microbial community members differentially respond to plant community compositional treatments, by measuring the response over 3 years and with the addition of precipitation treatments. We find that both changes in climate and plant composition can drive major differences in soil microbiome composition, which can feed back on plant community structure and alter ecosystem function.…”

Gene Expression Profiling in Dermatitis Herpetiformis Skin Lesions by M. Dolcino, E. Cozzani, S. Riva, A. Parodi, E. Tinazzi, C. Lunardi, A. Puccetti

“…Consistently with the autoimmune origin of DH, functional classification of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) indicates a B- and T-cell immune response (LAG3, TRAF5, DPP4, and NT5E). In addition, gene modulation provides evidence for a local inflammatory response (IL8, PTGFR, FSTL1, IFI16, BDKRD2, and NAMPT) with concomitant leukocyte recruitment (CCL5, ENPP2), endothelial cell activation, and neutrophil extravasation (SELL, SELE). …”

Budget impact analysis of insulin glargine vs. isophane protamine insulin treatment for patients with type-2 diabetes and severe hypoglycemia in Thailand by Unchalee Permsuwan, Unchalee Permsuwan, Chaicharn Deerochanawong

“…However, when the cost related to severe hypoglycemia was included, the total budget incurred from scenario 2 was less than that of scenario 1, leading to a negative NBI or cost savings.ConclusionThe NBI of IGlar adoption would be substantial when considering only the cost of insulin; however, the significant benefit of IGlar in terms of a lower rate of severe hypoglycemia compared with NPH insulin would clearly offset the additional cost of IGlar.…”
