Community-acquired lower respiratory tract infections (CA-LRTIs) treatment is largely empirical as microbiologic testing is rarely performed. Here, we provide microbiologic data of severe CA-LRTI cases requiring hospitalization. We aim to describe the distribution and susceptibility patterns of pathogens causing severe CA-LRTI.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in the United States. Although certain genetic predispositions may contribute to one's risk for developing CRC, dietary and lifestyle factors may play an important role as well. In a recent study in Nature, Dmitrieva-Posocco et al, reveal a potential protective role of the ketogenic diet in colorectal cancer growth and progression.

The pressure-induced Mott insulator-to-metal transitions are often accompanied by a collapse of magnetic interactions associated with delocalization of 3d electrons and high-spin to low-spin (HS-LS) state transition. Here, we address a long-standing controversy regarding the high-pressure behavior of an archetypal Mott insulator FeBO and show the insufficiency of a standard theoretical approach assuming a conventional HS-LS transition for the description of the electronic properties of the Mott insulators at high pressures. Using high-resolution x-ray diffraction measurements supplemented by Mössbauer spectroscopy up to pressures ~ 150 GPa, we document an unusual electronic state characterized by a "mixed" HS/LS state with a stable abundance ratio realized in the [Formula: see text] crystal structure with a single Fe site within a wide pressure range of ~ 50-106 GPa.

The metal-insulator transition driven by electronic correlations is one of the most fundamental concepts in condensed matter. In mixed-valence compounds, this transition is often accompanied by charge ordering (CO), resulting in the emergence of complex phases and unusual behaviors. The famous example is the archetypal mixed-valence mineral magnetite, FeO, exhibiting a complex charge-ordering below the Verwey transition, whose nature has been a subject of long-time debates.

Experiments investigating magnetic-field-tuned superconductor-insulator transition (HSIT) mostly focus on two-dimensional material systems where the transition and its proximate ground-state phases, often exhibit features that are seemingly at odds with the expected behavior. Here we present a complementary study of a three-dimensional pressure-packed amorphous indium-oxide (InOx) powder where granularity controls the HSIT. Above a low threshold pressure of ∼0.
