Midseason drying increases soil dissolved organic carbon and rice yield via soil cbbL bacteria.

An understanding of how irrigation regimes affect autotrophic microorganisms is essential, as this has direct implications for the soil organic carbon (SOC) content, rice yield and the sustainable agricultural practices. Here, the effects of three irrigation regimes on autotrophic microorganisms, soil active organic carbon fractions, and rice yield were explored. The irrigation regimes were: 1) rainfed (RF), 2) midseason drying (MD), and 3) continuous flooding (CF).

Fertilization shapes microbial life strategies, carbon and nitrogen metabolic functions in Camellia oleifera soil.

Mineral and organic fertilizers as well as microbial inoculations are crucial to maintain and to improve soil health and quality, ecosystem functions, and fruit yield in Camellia oleifera plantations. However, how these fertilizers shape the life strategies and functions of microbial communities in soil is unclear. Here, we conducted a one-year field experiment with three types of fertilizers: mineral (NPK), manure (Man), and microbial (MicrF), and analyzed soil properties, bacterial and fungal communities to assess microbial life strategies, functional traits and their determinants.

Microbial mechanisms for CO and CH emissions in Robinia pseudoacacia forests along a North-South transect in the Loess Plateau.

Forest soil microbes play a crucial role in regulating atmospheric-soil carbon fluxes. Environmental heterogeneity across forest types and regions may lead to differences in soil CO and CH emissions. However, the microbial mechanisms underlying these emission variations are currently unclear.

Atypical antipsychotic use does not impact weight gain for individuals with extreme anorexia nervosa: a retrospective case-control study.

Background: There are no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications for the treatment of anorexia nervosa (AN).

Emergency room presentations of people with anorexia nervosa.

People with anorexia nervosa (AN) tend to shy away from engaging in typical primary care provider relationships in order to avoid detection. Therefore, they may seek care for their medical concerns through a local emergency department (ED). Inherently, AN is associated with a litany of medical complications, which become more prevalent as the severity of their eating disorder increases.

Continuous 2D control via state-machine triggered by endogenous sensory discrimination and a fast brain switch.

Objective: Brain computer interfacing (BCI) is a promising method to control assistive systems for patients with severe disabilities. Recently, we have presented a novel BCI approach that combines an electrotactile menu and a brain switch, which allows the user to trigger many commands robustly and efficiently. However, the commands are timed to periodic tactile cues and this may challenge online control.

Sero-negative celiac disease with dermatitis herpetiformes: a case report.

Introduction: We report a case of sero-negative celiac disease in Pakistan.

Case Presentation: A 20-year-old female presented with papulovesicular rash for 15 years, diarrhea for 8 years, spasms of hands and twitching of face for 4-5 months. She had mild anemia, low vitamin-D3 and serum calcium.
