Assessment of Chicken Fecal Contamination Using Microbial Source Tracking (MST) and Environmental DNA (eDNA) Profiling in Silway River, Philippines.

The Silway River has historically failed to meet safe fecal coliform levels due to improper waste disposal. The river mouth is located in General Santos City, the tuna capital of the Philippines and a leading producer of hogs, cattle, and poultry. The buildup of contaminants due to direct discharge of waste from chicken farms and existing water quality conditions has led to higher fecal matter in the Silway River.

Cryo-EM structure of the human Pannexin-3 channel.

Pannexin-3 (PANX3) is a member of the pannexin family of large-pore, ATP-permeable channels conserved across vertebrates. PANX3 contributes to various developmental and pathophysiological processes by permeating ATP and Ca ions; however, the structural basis of PANX3 channel function remains unclear. Here, we present the cryo-EM structure of human PANX3 at 2.

C5 palsy following one- or two-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: Incidence and neurological recovery in a retrospective neurosurgical multicenter study.

Background: C5 palsy is a frequent complication following cervical spine surgery, particularly after posterior approaches. Although several risk factors have been proposed, the incidence of C5 palsy after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) remains less well understood. This study aims to elucidate the risk factors and neurological recovery associated with C5 palsy following ACDF.

Successful Bailout of Catheter-Induced Dissection in Acute Myocardial Infarction Resulting From a Nondominant Right Coronary Artery Occlusion.

A 48-year-old male with a history of hyperlipidemia presented to the emergency department with chest pain. Electrocardiographic abnormalities indicated an acute coronary syndrome. Urgent coronary angiography revealed nondominant right coronary artery (RCA) occlusion.
