Article Synopsis
- The study investigates acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in major trauma patients, which is often overlooked in both trauma and cardiology fields.
- Using data from the Victorian State Trauma Registry from 2013 to 2022, researchers focused on patients with significant injuries and examined their clinical outcomes related to AMI.
- They found that 1.4% of trauma patients experienced AMI, typically in older individuals with more health issues, leading to longer hospital stays and higher mortality rates compared to those without AMI.
Mucoadhesion across scales: Towards the design of protein-based adhesives.
Adv Colloid Interface Sci
December 2024
Mucoadhesion is a special case of bioadhesion in which a material adheres to soft mucosal tissues. This review elucidates our current understanding of mucoadhesion across length, time, and energy scales by focusing on relevant structural features of mucus. We highlight the importance of both covalent and non-covalent interactions that can be tailored to maximize mucoadhesive interactions, particularly concerning proteinaceous mucoadhesives, which have been explored only to a limited extent so far in the literature.

Its long lever is responsible for its large power-stroke, step size, and load-bearing ability. Little is known about the levers' structure and physical properties, and how they contribute to walking mechanics.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores the diversity of mycoviruses within the Ceratocystidaceae family by analyzing 10 fungal transcriptomes, revealing six novel mycoviruses.
- The newly discovered mycoviruses are primarily positive sense single-stranded RNA viruses belonging to the Mitoviridae family, with some double-stranded RNA viruses linked to the Totiviridae family.
- Notably, an identical mycovirus was found in two different fungal species from distinct locations, suggesting possible transmission routes, and expanding the known host range of mycoviruses in this fungal family.
