Diet and predation risk affect tissue and excretion nutrients of Trinidadian guppies: a field survey.

Consumers vary in their excretion of nitrogen and phosphorus, altering nutrient cycles and ecosystem function. Traditional mass balance models that focus on dietary and tissue nutrients have poorly explained such variation in excretion. Here, we contrast diet and tissue nutrient models for nutrient excretion with predation risk, an often overlooked factor, using the Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata) as our model system.

Clinical Performance of the LiquidArray Gastrointestinal VER 1.0 Assay in Patients with Suspected Gastroenteritis.

Background/objectives: Rapid and accurate pathogen identification is essential for the proper management of patients with infectious gastroenteritis, as well as for a better control of disease outbreaks. This observational, non-interventional, single-site study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of LiquidArray Gastrointestinal VER 1.0, a multiplex PCR syndromic panel capable of detecting up to 26 clinically relevant enteropathogens.

Leveraging ordered voids in microporous perovskites for intercalation and post-synthetic modification.

We report the use of porous organic layers in two-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) to facilitate permanent small molecule intercalation and new post-synthetic modifications. While HOIPs are well-studied for a variety of optoelectronic applications, the ability to manipulate their structure after synthesis is another handle for control of physical properties and could even enable use in future applications. If designed properly, a porous interlayer could facilitate these post-synthetic transformations.

Normalising the Implementation of Pharmacogenomic (PGx) Testing in Adult Mental Health Settings: A Theory-Based Systematic Review.

Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing can help personalise psychiatric prescribing and improve on the currently adopted trial-and-error prescribing approach. However, widespread implementation is yet to occur. Understanding factors influencing implementation is pertinent to the psychiatric PGx field.
