Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate whether older patients (≥65 years) have a diminished tachypneic response to hypoxia, meaning they may not breathe faster in response to low oxygen levels as much as younger patients do.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 7126 patients in Spanish emergency departments, measuring peripheral arterial oxygen saturation (SatO2) and respiratory rate (RR) upon arrival, finding significant correlations across all age groups studied.
  • Results indicated that as patient age increased, the respiratory rate response to decreasing oxygen levels slowed down, with younger individuals showing a faster increase in breathing rate in response to hypoxia compared to older individuals, particularly those aged ≥90 years.

The blood vessel lumen is an extremely rare location for a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor like schwannoma. Less than 10 cases have been previously reported. In this report, we present a case of a 68-year-old woman who had a soft tissue nodule at the posterior calf of her left leg during a physical examination.

Modular cloning has become a benchmark technology in synthetic biology. However, a notable disparity exists between its remarkable development and the need for standardization to facilitate seamless interoperability among systems. The field is thus impeded by an overwhelming proliferation of organism-specific systems that frequently lack compatibility.

Replacing traditional substrates in industrial bioprocesses to advance the sustainable production of chemicals is an urgent need in the context of the circular economy. However, since the limited degradability of non-conventional carbon sources often returns lower yields, effective exploitation of such substrates requires a multi-layer optimization which includes not only the provision of a suitable feedstock but the use of highly robust and metabolically versatile microbial biocatalysts. We tackled this challenge by means of systems metabolic engineering and validated W as a promising cell factory for the production of the key building block chemical 2-ketoisovalerate (2-KIV) using whey as carbon source, a widely available and low-cost agro-industrial waste.
