Monkeypox (mpox), caused by the MPOXV (monkeypox virus), has been endemic in Africa since its first identification in 1958. However, in May 2022, the world witnessed the first global outbreak associated with the West African clade. Even though thousands of cases have been recorded, our understanding of vertical transmission during pregnancy remains restricted due to an absence of reported cases in pregnant women and a lack of adequate clinical descriptions.

An experiment was conducted in open chambers (OTCs) to evaluate the responses of these species to different levels of CO {[CO] = 400 ± 50 μmol mol CO for ambient CO concentration, [CO] = 700 ± 50 μmol mol CO for the elevated CO concentration}. Growth parameters and photosynthetic pigments reflected changes in gas exchange, saccharolytic enzymes, and carbohydrate metabolism when plants were grown under [CO].

Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic led to a rise in the use of telerehabilitation, which helps pediatric patients access necessary rehabilitation services remotely due to social distancing measures.
- Many pediatric patients struggle with telerehabilitation because they rely on caregivers for decision-making, and negative perceptions from those caregivers can hinder service utilization.
- This study aimed to assess caregivers' attitudes and willingness to engage in telerehabilitation for their children receiving outpatient care in a developing country, using a carefully designed survey to gather data.
Article Synopsis
- Flooded rice cultivation impacts soil properties such as redox potential and nutrient availability, which raises concerns about water usage and soil health.
- A study in Brazil showed that bacterial communities in rice soils can recover after disturbances caused by draining and flooding but struggle to maintain stability over the long term.
- Analysis revealed shifts in bacterial composition with increased Proteobacteria and changes in metabolic functions, highlighting the resilience of microbial communities and their importance for sustainable rice farming practices.
