Objective: To determine survival and neurodevelopmental outcomes in the Hypotension in Preterm (HIP) trial.
Design: Prospective follow-up of infants enrolled in randomised controlled trial.
Participants: 58 infants born before 28 weeks of gestation with low mean arterial blood pressure.
The western corn rootworm (WCR), Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, has evolved resistance to nearly every management tactic utilized in the field. This study investigated the resistance mechanisms in a WCR strain resistant to the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) protein eCry3.1Ab using dsRNA to knockdown WCR midgut genes previously documented to be associated with the resistance.

There are two different DHs known to be expressed in insects, calcitonin (CT)-like DH31 and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)-like DH44. In this study, we identified and characterized a DH44 and five GPCR variants, DH44-R1 and DH44-R2a/b/c/d, in Drosophila suzukii (spotted-wing drosophila), causing detrimental damage to fresh and soft-skinned fruits.
