Mucoromycotina "fine root endophyte" (MFRE) fungi are an understudied group of plant symbionts that regularly co-occur with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The functional significance of MFRE in plant nutrition remains underexplored, particularly their role in plant nitrogen (N) assimilation from the variety of sources typically found in soils. Using four N-labeled N sources to track N transfer between MFRE and Plantago lanceolata, applied singly and in tandem, we investigated N source discrimination, preference, and transfer to host plants by MFRE.

Efforts to increase anticoagulation initiation on emergency department (ED) discharge have yielded conflicting results.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a multipronged intervention supporting anticoagulation initiation for eligible adult ED patients.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to explore the connection between serum creatine kinase (CK) levels and the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized patients with exertional rhabdomyolysis (ERM).
- Data from 200 patients, identified through a review of medical records from 2009 to 2019, showed that 8.5% developed AKI, with no cases of chronic kidney disease (CKD) or fatalities reported.
- The findings indicated that there was no link between CK levels and AKI risk, but certain cofactors were identified that could heighten the likelihood of kidney injury in these patients.
