Soil microbes are among the most abundant and diverse organisms on Earth but remain poorly characterized. New technologies have made possible to sequence the DNA of uncultivated microorganisms in soil and other complex ecosystems. Genome assembly is crucial for understanding their functional potential.

- - The connection between bullous pemphigoid (BP) and neoplasms like mycosis fungoides (MF) is debated in medical literature, with some case reports supporting coexistence but case-control studies showing mixed results.
- - The presented case features a 77-year-old man with a history of diabetes and hypertension who develops BP after being diagnosed with MF, experiencing blisters following sun exposure.
- - Treatment with prednisone and methotrexate led to favorable results, emphasizing the rarity of BP in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and the need to assess autoimmune blistering diseases in those with hematological cancers.
Gender dysphoria is defined as a condition characterized by mental suffering associated with the incongruence between one's experienced gender and their birth-assigned sex. Gender as a construct and gender dysphoria as a condition in need of multidisciplinary intervention have developed as swiftly as their visibility in society, making it mandatory to promote the literacy and education of all healthcare professionals in this area. This article aims to review information based on scientific evidence on people with gender dysphoria and its clinical approach, while contributing to a safe, inclusive, and non-discriminatory practice of healthcare.

Sensory information collected through smell is then analyzed and interpreted in the brain, allowing for correct insect functioning. The behavior of honeybees ( L.

Methods: Data from patients aged 10 to 18 years with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) seen between 2018 to 2021 were analyzed. In an anteroposterior (AP) spine radiograph the ossification process was evaluated using the Risser classification method and bilateral PHOS (if both humeral epiphyses were visualized).
