A genome-scale metabolic model for the denitrifying bacterium Thauera sp. MZ1T accurately predicts degradation of pollutants and production of polymers.

The denitrifying bacterium Thauera sp. MZ1T, a common member of microbial communities in wastewater treatment facilities, can produce different compounds from a range of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) sources under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. In these different conditions, Thauera modifies its metabolism to produce different compounds that influence the microbial community.

[Strategies and Barriers to the Implementation of Continuing Education in Sentinel Hospitals for the Surveillance of COVID-19 Vaccine Safety in Honduras, 2022-2023Formação continuada: estratégias e barreiras de implementação em hospitais sentinela para a vigilância da segurança das vacinas contra a COVID-19 em Honduras, 2022-2023].

Objective: To describe the continuing education strategies implemented as part of the academic training of health workers; related barriers and facilitators; and the perceptions of health workers in sentinel hospitals in Honduras regarding changes in their knowledge.

Methods: The implemented continuing education strategies are described, as are the findings of a questionnaire given to assess health workers' perceptions of the effectiveness of these strategies in the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and competencies related to the surveillance of events supposedly attributable to vaccination, immunization, or adverse events of special interest. Barriers to participation in these strategies is also described.

Spatial chemistry of citrus reveals molecules bactericidal to Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus.

Huanglongbing (HLB), associated with the psyllid-vectored phloem-limited bacterium, Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), is a disease threat to all citrus production worldwide. Currently, there are no sustainable curative or prophylactic treatments available. In this study, we utilized mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomics in combination with 3D molecular mapping to visualize complex chemistries within plant tissues to explore how these chemistries change in vivo in HLB-infected trees.

Non-traumatic (spontaneous) superficial femoral artery dissection: A case report.

Non-traumatic or spontaneous dissection of the superficial femoral artery is an extremely rare entity, being more common in the external iliac artery in relation to intensive physical activity, pregnancy, among others. It has a variable clinical presentation. The diagnosis is made through angio-tomography (Angio-CT), angio-resonance (Angio-MR) and/or arteriography, the last one being diagnostic and therapeutic.

Mixotrophic growth of a ubiquitous marine diatom.

Diatoms are major players in the global carbon cycle, and their metabolism is affected by ocean conditions. Understanding the impact of changing inorganic nutrients in the oceans on diatoms is crucial, given the changes in global carbon dioxide levels. Here, we present a genome-scale metabolic model (MK1961) for , an in silico resource to understand uncharacterized metabolic functions in this ubiquitous diatom.
