Objective: Breakthrough COVID-19 infections are common following immunisation with various types of vaccines. The patterns of infections have not been well established. We aimed to analyse the signs and symptoms of post vaccination infections in addition to the need for hospital admission, ER visit and supplemental oxygen in relation to age and gender.

- A prior study found that soybean fields double-cropped with winter wheat had fewer soybean cyst nematodes (SCN) than fallow fields.
- A follow-up investigation used metagenomics and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) to analyze soil chemical profiles and discovered 51 compounds, some identified as having potential nematicidal properties.
- The research suggests that the reduction in SCN populations in these double-cropped fields results from a combination of enriched microbial communities, more beneficial organisms, and higher concentrations of nematicidal compounds, marking a novel approach in soil chemical profiling for SCN suppression.
Objectives: Perinatal substance abuse (PSA) is associated with increased risk of prematurity, low birth weight, neonatal abstinence syndrome, behavioral issues and learning difficulties. It is imperative that robust care pathways are in place for these high-risk pregnancies and that staff and patient education are optimized. The present study explores the knowledge and attitudes of healthcare professionals toward PSA to identify knowledge gaps to enhance care and reduce stigma.

Several management practices are implemented to mitigate yield losses caused by SCN, including using SDHI (succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors) fungicides delivered as seed treatments. A set of studies was conducted to evaluate the effect of two seed-applied succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHI) compounds, fluopyram and pydiflumetofen, on SCN population densities, plant injury, and plant growth.
