Outcomes of the Subsequent Periprosthetic Joint Infection Revisions after a Failed Debridement, Antibiotics and Implant Retention: A Multicentric Study of 197 Patients.

The impact of prior unsuccessful debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) procedures on subsequent revisions is uncertain, with conflicting evidence. Despite 85% consensus against the second DAIR procedure following the 2018 International Consensus Meeting, a 2020 study reported high success rates for the aforementioned second DAIR procedure. We conducted a multicenter observational study reviewing data from patients with failed DAIR procedures between 2005 and 2021.

Neuropeptides specify and reprogram division of labor in the leafcutter ant .

Social insects offer powerful models to investigate the mechanistic foundation of elaborate individual behaviors comprising a cooperative community. Workers of the leafcutter ant genus provide an extreme example of behavioral segregation among many phenotypically distinct worker types. We utilize the complex worker system of to test the molecular underpinnings of behavioral programming and, in particular, the extent of plasticity to reprogramming.

Assembly of Mitochondrial Genomes Using Nanopore Long-Read Technology in Three Sea Chubs (Teleostei: Kyphosidae).

Complete mitochondrial genomes have become markers of choice to explore phylogenetic relationships at multiple taxonomic levels and they are often assembled using whole genome short-read sequencing. Herein, using three species of sea chubs as an example, we explored the accuracy of mitochondrial chromosomes assembled using Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) Kit 14 R10.4.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the imperiled Bullnose ray Myliobatis freminvillei (Myliobatiformes: Myliobatidae) with comments on its phylogenetic position and claims of diversifying selection affecting protein coding genes in a closely related species.

The Bullnose ray Myliobatis freminvillei is a bentho-pelagic eagle ray that inhabits the north Gulf of Mexico and the Western Atlantic Ocean Coast, discontinuously, from Massachusetts, USA to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Myliobatis freminvillei is currently listed as vulnerable by the 2019 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species given that it is often captured as bycatch by artisanal and commercial fisheries, along the coasts of Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela. This study, for the first time, assembled and characterized the mitochondrial genome of M.
