Molecular Epidemiological Characteristics of , and Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci Cultured from Clinical Canine Skin and Ear Samples in Queensland.

Infections in dogs caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS) present limited treatment options. This study's objective was to investigate the molecular epidemiology of spp. cultured exclusively from clinical canine skin and ear samples in Queensland, Australia, using whole-genome sequencing (WGS).

Characterization and comparison of fecal microbiota in horses with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction and age-matched controls.

Background: Altered gut microbiota has been associated with dopaminergic degenerative diseases in people, but studies on horses with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) are lacking.

Hypothesis/objectives: Investigate the effect of PPID on fecal microbiota in horses.

Animals: Nine horses with PPID and 13 age-matched control horses.

A dataset of Antarctic ecosystems in ice-free lands: classification, descriptions, and maps.

Antarctica, Earth's least understood and most remote continent, is threatened by human disturbances and climate-related changes, underscoring the imperative for biodiversity inventories to inform conservation. Antarctic ecosystems support unique species and genetic diversity, deliver essential ecosystem services and contribute to planetary stability. We present Antarctica's first comprehensive ecosystem classification and map of ice-free lands, which host most of the continent's biodiversity.

Software solution for integration of frozen section quality assurance into daily practice.

Objective: Diagnoses rendered using the frozen section (FS) technique during surgical procedures are used to guide intraoperative decisions. Therefore, diagnostic FS errors have the potential to affect patient safety and quality of care. Diagnostic FS errors arise due to both technical and interpretative factors and present a challenge to surgical pathology laboratories to recognize, document, and manage in a timely fashion.

Effects of Lactate on Corticospinal Excitability: A Scoping Review.

Aerobic exercise has been shown to impact corticospinal excitability (CSE), however the mechanism(s) by which this occurs is unclear. Some evidence suggests an increase in blood lactate concentration resulting from exercise may be what is driving these changes in corticospinal excitability. The extent of literature examining this effect and whether it is consistent across the literature is unknown.
