Article Synopsis
- Thromboembolic complications in severe COVID-19 are linked to neutrophil-extracellular-trap (NET)-driven immunothrombosis, indicating a significant immune response issue.
- This study analyzes plasma IgA glycosylation during severe SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A infections, finding changes in glycan structures associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
- The differences in IgA glycosylation patterns between COVID-19 and Influenza A suggest that these changes could influence immune responses and NET formation, highlighting the need for further exploration of IgA's role in infectious diseases.
Parents' judgment of their children's cognitive ability is important for providing adequate learning environments. This study examined parents' judgment accuracy with 2346 children (M = 8.94 years; 48.

- This study explores multi-element compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) to assess the biodegradation of 2,3-dichloroaniline (2,3-DCA), a significant industrial chemical, during controlled laboratory experiments.* -
- Findings reveal negligible carbon and hydrogen isotope fractionation but notable inverse nitrogen isotope fractionation during the aerobic biodegradation, suggesting that the reaction’s initial enzymatic step might limit the process.* -
- The research indicates that using nitrogen isotope signatures can help estimate biodegradation levels in contaminated sites, with potential rates reaching 80-90%, showcasing multi-element CSIA as a promising method for studying environmental chemical transformations.*
