Here, we report the genome sequence of 55, isolated from the Negev Desert, Israel. 55 was found to promote the growth of several cereal crops (corn, wheat, and pearl millet) in greenhouse and field studies.

Soil microbiomes from the groundnut basin of Senegal contain plant growth-promoting bacteria with potential for crop improvement in arid soils.

The principal methods to maintain soil fertility in Sahel soils are largely allowing fields to go fallow and manure addition. These methods are not currently sufficient to improve soil fertility. To promote biological amendments, we aimed to understand the plant-growth promoting traits of various soil microbial isolates.

A Rocky Road: Bladder Stones in the Augmented Exstrophy-Epispadias Complex Patient.

Objective: To determine the rate of stone formation amongst patients of the exstrophy-epispadias complex with augmentation cystoplasty. We hypothesize that bowel segment choice influences the rate of stone formation after bladder augmentation and the rate of complications from bladder stone surgery.

Methods: An IRB-approved institutional database of 1512 exstrophy-epispadias patients was reviewed retrospectively.

Stomal Stenosis After Continent Urinary Diversion in Bladder Exstrophy: Risk Factors and Management.

Objective: To identify risk factors for stenosis and compare management strategies for stenosis etiology and to examine the efficacy of each approach. Patients with classic bladder exstrophy (CBE), a rare genitourinary malformation, may require construction of a continent urinary stoma (CUS) if incontinence persists. Stomal stenosis is a challenging complication as it is common, progressive, and recurrent.

Optimizing prenatal diagnosis and referral of classic bladder exstrophy: Lessons from a single-institution experience.

Introduction: Classic bladder exstrophy (CBE) is a malformation of the genitourinary system that occurs due to failure of abdominal wall closure. Unlike other malformations of similar incidence, prenatal diagnosis of CBE relies on suggested, rather than formal, diagnostic criteria.

Objective: This report describes prenatal diagnosis of CBE in the largest single-institutional cohort to date and delineates key sonographic findings and protocols for specialist referral.

Higher prevalence of benign tumors in men with testicular tumors and history of treated cryptorchidism.

Objectives: To identify if surgically treated cryptorchidism correlated with testicular tumor pathology at presentation.

Materials And Methods: An institutional database of patients treated for testicular cancer between 2003 and 2020 was reviewed. Inclusion criteria included orchiectomy patients.

Multi-staged vs Single-staged Pelvic Osteotomy in the Modern Treatment of Cloacal Exstrophy: Bridging the Gap.

Purpose: Staged pelvic osteotomy has been shown in the past to be an effective tool in the closure of the extreme pubic diastasis of cloacal exstrophy. The authors sought to compare orthopedic complications between non-staged pelvic osteotomies and staged pelvic osteotomies in cloacal exstrophy.

Methods: A prospectively maintained exstrophy-epispadias complex database of 1510 patients was reviewed for cloacal exstrophy bladder closure events performed with osteotomy at the authors' institution.

Classic Bladder Exstrophy Closure Without Osteotomy or Immobilization: An Exercise in Futility?

Objective: To review the outcomes of classic bladder exstrophy (CBE) closure without the use of osteotomy or lower extremity/pelvic immobilization.

Methods: A prospectively maintained institutional approved exstrophy-epispadias complex database of 1487 patients was reviewed for patients with CBE who had undergone closure without osteotomy nor immobilization. All patients were referred to the authors' institution for reconstruction later in life or for failed closure.

E. faecalis Sepsis and Asherman's Syndrome as Complications of Sonata System Transcervical Fibroid Ablation.

The Sonata System is a minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided transcervical fibroid ablation procedure for the management of symptomatic uterine fibroids. Since its approval by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2018, this procedure has demonstrated an excellent safety profile and postprocedure satisfaction rate. We present the case of a patient treated with Sonata, who subsequently developed bacterial sepsis and Asherman's syndrome-serious complications with long-term sequelae and implications for fertility.

Reviewing and renewing the use of beneficial root and soil bacteria for plant growth and sustainability in nutrient-poor, arid soils.

A rapidly increasing human population coupled with climate change and several decades of over-reliance on synthetic fertilizers has led to two pressing global challenges: food insecurity and land degradation. Therefore, it is crucial that practices enabling both soil and plant health as well as sustainability be even more actively pursued. Sustainability and soil fertility encompass practices such as improving plant productivity in poor and arid soils, maintaining soil health, and minimizing harmful impacts on ecosystems brought about by poor soil management, including run-off of agricultural chemicals and other contaminants into waterways.

Risk for Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism in Patients With Subsegmental Pulmonary Embolism Managed Without Anticoagulation : A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: The incidence of pulmonary embolism has been increasing, but its case-fatality rate is decreasing, suggesting a lesser severity of illness. The clinical importance of patients with pulmonary embolism isolated to the subsegmental vessels is unknown.

Objective: To determine the rate of recurrent venous thromboembolism in patients with subsegmental pulmonary embolism managed without anticoagulation.

Comparative Analysis of the Cultured and Total Bacterial Community in the Wheat Rhizosphere Microbiome Using Culture-Dependent and Culture-Independent Approaches.

Rhizosphere and root-associated bacteria are key components of crop production and sustainable agriculture. However, utilization of these beneficial bacteria is often limited by conventional culture techniques because a majority of soil microorganisms cannot be cultured using standard laboratory media. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to improve culturability and investigate the diversity of the bacterial communities from the wheat rhizosphere microbiome collected from three locations in Egypt with contrasting soil characteristics by using metagenomic analysis and improved culture-based methods.

Safety and Feasibility of Discharge Without an Opioid Prescription for Patients Undergoing Gynecologic Surgery.

Objective: To implement a quality-improvement intervention aimed at reducing unnecessary opioid prescriptions for patients who are undergoing gynecologic surgery.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study that included data from the pre- and post-quality-improvement initiative cohorts. Patients at an urban, tertiary academic medical center who were undergoing scheduled minimally invasive surgery and open abdominal surgery by a gynecologic oncologist were included.

Exopolysaccharide production in Ensifer meliloti laboratory and native strains and their effects on alfalfa inoculation.

Bacterial surface molecules have an important role in the rhizobia-legume symbiosis. Ensifer meliloti (previously, Sinorhizobium meliloti), a symbiotic Gram-negative rhizobacterium, produces two different exopolysaccharides (EPSs), termed EPS I (succinoglycan) and EPS II (galactoglucan), with different functions in the symbiotic process. Accordingly, we undertook a study comparing the potential differences in alfalfa nodulation by E.

Trinickia dabaoshanensis sp. nov., a new name for a lost species.

"Burkholderia dabaoshanensis" was described in 2012. Although the name was effectively published, it could not be validly published, because the description provided in the original paper did not comply with the Rule 27 (2) (c) of the Bacterial Code. The Code requiresthat the properties of the taxon form part of the protologue.
