Modeling microbial interactions as sparse and reproducible networks is a major challenge in microbial ecology. Direct interactions between the microbial species of a biome can help to understand the mechanisms through which microbial communities influence the system. Most state-of-the art methods reconstruct networks from abundance data using Gaussian Graphical Models, for which several statistically grounded and computationnally efficient inference approaches are available.

Article Synopsis
  • Contaminants, particularly from rainfall, pose risks to the health of decapods (e.g., shrimp, crabs) that are crucial for fisheries, highlighting concerns for sustainability in these environments.
  • A systematic review analyzed 138 studies, revealing that exposure to metals, PAHs, and pesticides negatively affects decapod physiology, especially in key processes like growth and metabolism.
  • The findings stress the urgent need for regulatory testing of new chemicals to protect harvested species, especially as climate changes could increase contaminant exposure in estuaries.

Background: Targeted radionuclide therapy with Lu-labelled small conjugates is expanding rapidly, and its success is linked to appropriate patient selection. Companion diagnostic conjugates are usually labelled with Ga, offering good imaging up to ≈2 h post-injection. However, the optimal tumor-to-background ratio is often reached later.

Working in a multi-disciplinary environment in an assisted living facility for elderly people represents a "virtuous circle" in which a professional contributes to the resident, who in turn contributes to the professional. Cooperation, ingenuity, a questioning approach to everyday tasks and a quality relational approach are the foundations of personalized support and mutual enrichment. How can we transform the ordinary moments of residents' daily lives into extraordinary, meaningful moments?
