Background: Investigations of computerised cognitive training (CCT) show heterogeneous results in slowing age-related cognitive decline.
Aims: To comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of serious games-based CCT, integrating control conditions, neurophysiological and blood-based biomarkers, and subjective measures.
Method: In this bi-centric randomised controlled trial with parallel groups, 160 participants (mean age 71.
Background: A primary barrier to curing HIV is the HIV reservoir. The leading infectious cause of death worldwide for people living with HIV is tuberculosis (TB), but we do not know how TB impacts the HIV reservoir.
Methods: Participants in identification and validation cohorts were selected from previously enrolled studies at Groupe Haïtien d'Étude du Sarcome de Kaposi et des Infections Opportunistes (GHESKIO) in Port au Prince, Haiti.
Traditional approaches employing natural plant products to treat a wide array of ailments have been documented and described for thousands of years. However, there remains limited scientific study of the therapeutic potential or effectiveness of ethnobotanical applications. Increases in the incidence of cancer and emerging infectious diseases demonstrate a growing need for advances in the development of therapeutic options.

- * CaMMV was detected in commercial cacao trees in Puerto Rico and later in a quarantine greenhouse in Miami, prompting further testing in a USDA repository in Hawai'i to assess the spread of the virus.
- * Testing of 230 cacao plants in Hawai'i revealed 26 were positive for CaMMV, with most showing leaf chlorosis, while genetic analysis indicated close similarity to CaMMV strains from Puerto Rico and Florida.
Article Synopsis
- - During the 2022-2023 season, the coffee crop in Hawai'i was valued at $57.1 million, with symptoms of a foliar disease identified in the Kona Typica variety, showing circular, necrotic spots and leaf drop.
- - The disease was linked to a fungus identified through a process involving symptom observation, tissue culture, and genetic analysis, confirming it as *(Tode) L. Lombard & Crous*.
- - To test the pathogenicity of the fungus, researchers inoculated Kona Typica seedlings with a concentrated suspension of fungal spores, aiming to study the effects on plant health.
