This work focuses on the fabrication and evaluation of a passive wireless sensor for the monitoring of the temperature and corrosion of a metal material at high temperatures. An inductor-capacitor (LC) resonator sensor was fabricated through the screen printing of Ag-based inks on dense polycrystalline AlO substrates. The LC design was modeled using the ANSYS HFSS modeling package, with the LC passive wireless sensors operating at frequencies from 70 to 100 MHz.

- Recent studies show that certain bacterial insertion sequences utilize a special RNA (Bridge RNA or Seek RNA) to target specific DNA sites for insertion.
- This discovery could simplify the process of adding large DNA fragments at specific locations in the genome.
- While the method has only been tested in bacteria and needs further development, it shows significant potential for future genome editing and engineering applications.
Unlabelled: Following reactivation of a latent alphaherpesvirus infection, viral particles are assembled in neuronal cell bodies, trafficked anterogradely within axons to nerve termini, and spread to adjacent epithelial cells. The virally encoded membrane proteins US9p and the glycoprotein heterodimer gE/gI of pseudorabies virus (PRV) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) play critical roles in anterograde spread, likely as a tripartite gE/gI-US9p complex. Two kinesin motors, kinesin-1 and kinesin-3, are implicated in the egress of these viruses, but how gE/gI-US9p coordinates their activities is poorly understood.

Our objective was to evaluate the role of venovenous extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) in management of mechanically ventilated swine with smoke inhalation injury and 40% body surface area burns.
Methods: Yorkshire swine (n = 29, 43.
Background: Pathogenic variants in the nonmuscle myosin, MYH14, have been associated with several pathologic conditions including a complex phenotype with peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, hoarseness, and hearing loss. Since its first description in a large Korean kindred, this rare neuromuscular disorder has further been characterized in 1 American and 1 Canadian pedigree.
Case Presentation: Here, we describe a German patient with atypical MYH14-related neuromuscular disorder.
