Metabolic rearrangement enables adaptation of microbial growth rate to temperature shifts.

Temperature is a key determinant of microbial behaviour and survival in the environment and within hosts. At intermediate temperatures, growth rate varies according to the Arrhenius law of thermodynamics, which describes the effect of temperature on the rate of a chemical reaction. However, the mechanistic basis for this behaviour remains unclear.

Comparison of the Image Quality of Turbo Spin Echo and Echo-Planar Diffusion-Weighted Imaging of the Head and Neck Region.

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head and neck region is notably challenging due to the complex anatomy and the critical need for high-resolution imaging to accurately diagnose various pathologies. The two prominent MRI techniques used in this context are turbo spin echo (TSE) and echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging (EP-DWI). TSE is recognized for providing high-resolution anatomical images, whereas EP-DWI offers functional imaging that highlights the diffusion of water molecules, essential for detecting early pathological changes.

Phyto-safe in vitro regeneration and harnessing antimicrobial-resistant endophytes as bioinoculants for enhanced growth and secondary metabolites yield in Nilgirianthus ciliatus.

Nilgirianthus ciliatus, extensively exploited for its pharmacological properties, is now classified as vulnerable. In vitro micropropagation offers a sustainable approach for ecological conservation and rational utilization of this biodiversity resource. This study aimed to reduce endophytes during in vitro propagation and isolating antimicrobial-resistant endophytes from N.

Understanding multicentric haemangioendothelioma: diagnostic dilemmas and treatment strategies.

Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EH) is a rare malignant vascular tumour occurring mainly in the liver and lungs, with bones being a rare site and primarily seen in the adult population. This case presents a male patient in his 40s who presented to the outpatient department with a chief issue of a painless swelling over the inguinal region for 4 months, gradually increasing in size, along with a history of a gradually enlarging, painless mass on his left knee over the past 5 years. Despite occasional discomfort during physical activities, the mass exhibited no associated trauma, fever, weight loss or systemic symptoms.

New species and a fascinating diversity of Chironomidae (Diptera, Insecta) in and around an overlooked urban vernal pool.

In this study, the biodiversity of Chironomidae was investigated in Palmer Park Pond A, an urban vernal pond in Detroit, Michigan, USA. This study is developed as part of our ongoing Public Environmental Outreach Program at the Detroit Exploration and Nature Center in Palmer Park. Twenty-one Chironomidae species were discovered in and on the adjacent riparian vegetation of this pond using molecular and morphological methods.
