Retrospective evaluation of dexamethasone for treatment of suspected critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency in dogs with septic shock (2017-2022): 60 cases.

Objective: To retrospectively compare and report vasopressor duration and mortality of septic dogs with hypotension refractory to vasopressor administration (presumed critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency [CIRCI]) treated with or without dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DxSP).

Design: Retrospective study (2017-2022).

Setting: Tertiary referral and teaching hospitals.

Wood-loving magic mushrooms from Australia are saprotrophic invaders in the Northern Hemisphere.

Magic mushrooms are fungi that produce psilocybin, an entheogen with long-term cultural use and a breakthrough compound for treatment of mental health disorders. Fungal populations separated by geography are candidates for allopatric speciation, yet species connectivity typically persists because there is minimal divergence at functional parts of mating compatibility genes. We studied whether connectivity is maintained across populations of a widespread species complex of magic mushrooms that has infiltrated the Northern Hemisphere from a hypothesised centre of origin in Australasia.

Histological Dissection of Fusarium-Banana Interaction Using a GFP-Tagged Subtropical Race 4 Strain of f. sp. on Banana Cultivars with Differing Levels of Resistance.

Fusarium wilt, caused by f. sp. (), poses a significant threat to global banana production.

Multi-omic investigation identifies key antifungal biochemistry during fermentation of a Streptomyces biological control agent.

The use of multi-omic approaches has significantly advanced the exploration of microbial traits, leading to the discovery of new bioactive compounds and their mechanisms of action. Streptomyces sp. MH71 is known for its antifungal properties with potential for use in crop protection.
