An Evidence Based Rationale for Health and Wellness Coaching as a Complementary Certification in Undergraduate Health Education.

Health and wellness coaching (HWC) is an effective intervention for many chronic lifestyle diseases. Chronic diseases represent a majority of our severe national healthcare burden. Yet, HWC certification programs vary in delivery method and degree awarded.

CRISPR-mediated germline mutagenesis for genetic sterilization of Anopheles gambiae males.

Rapid spread of insecticide resistance among anopheline mosquitoes threatens malaria elimination efforts, necessitating development of alternative vector control technologies. Sterile insect technique (SIT) has been successfully implemented in multiple insect pests to suppress field populations by the release of large numbers of sterile males, yet it has proven difficult to adapt to Anopheles vectors. Here we outline adaptation of a CRISPR-based genetic sterilization system to selectively ablate male sperm cells in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae.

CanB is a metabolic mediator of antibiotic resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

The evolution of the obligate human pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae has been shaped by selective pressures from diverse host niche environments and antibiotics. The varying prevalence of antibiotic resistance across N. gonorrhoeae lineages suggests that underlying metabolic differences may influence the likelihood of acquisition of specific resistance mutations.
