Assessing Huanglongbing Severity and Canopy Parameters of the Huanglongbing-Affected Citrus in Texas Using Unmanned Aerial System-Based Remote Sensing and Machine Learning.

Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening disease, is a devastating disease of citrus. However, there is no known cure so far. Recently, under Section 24(c) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), a special local need label was approved that allows the trunk injection of antimicrobials such as oxytetracycline (OTC) for HLB management in Florida.

In Situ Treatment of Refractory Perianal Fistulas in Dogs with Low-Dose Allogeneic Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

Stem cell therapy in dogs has increased considerably in recent years; however, there are few publications on the treatment of perianal fistulas (PF) in this species. The aim of this open-label clinical trial was to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of a new protocol for the in situ administration of low-dose adipose-derived allogeneic stem cells (ASCs) for the treatment of refractory spontaneous perianal fistula. The methodology consisted of applying one to three doses of 5 × 10 cryopreserved allogeneic ASCs to each fistula.

Limited Variation in Bacterial Communities of (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) Across European Populations and Different Life Stages.

The Nearctic leafhopper (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is the primary vector of ' Phytoplasma vitis', the causative agent of Flavescence doreé in Europe. Although microorganisms play an important role in the ecology and behavior of insects, knowledge about the interaction between and microbes is limited. In this study, we employed an amplicon metabarcoding approach for profiling the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene to characterize the bacterial communities of across several populations from four European localities.

Under Pressure: A Case Report of a Diver's Close Encounter With the Bends.

Generalized barotrauma, also referred to as decompression sickness (DCS), is a condition that occurs when there is a sudden shift in atmospheric pressure. While typically associated with underwater excursions or deep-sea dive encounters, this process can also occur during sudden changes in high altitude or unpressurized air travel. Sudden shifts in atmospheric pressure trigger the formation of nitrogen gas bubbles in the bloodstream that fail to clear from the blood and instead accumulate, leading to an obstruction in circulation.
