Article Synopsis
- - Members of the Botryosphaeria genus are known to harm stressed oak trees in the eastern U.S., particularly affecting two similar species, Diplodia corticola and D. gallae, whose characteristics are still not fully understood.
- - On August 15, 2023, researchers collected tissue samples from a declining Quercus coccinea tree in Virginia, noting symptoms like scorched leaves and branch dieback, to analyze the specific pathogen involved.
- - The study involved isolating the pathogens, culturing them in a lab, and sequencing their DNA, resulting in the identification of DNA fragments that have been added to the GenBank database for further research.
Article Synopsis
- Since the early 1900s, oak decline has been recognized as a disease affecting hardwood forests in the U.S., with opportunistic canker pathogens causing issues like crown dieback in oak trees, particularly in mid-Atlantic states.* -
- A survey was conducted in August 2022 in Frederick and Shenandoah Counties, Virginia, where mature Quercus montana trees showed symptoms of decline, including cankers and discolored sapwood.* -
- Researchers collected samples from these trees, grew cultures in controlled conditions, and confirmed that the fungi from both spores and necrotic wood were morphologically identical, indicating a connection to the observed decline.*
The cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia (SZ) present a significant clinical burden. They are treatment resistant and are the primary predictor of functional outcomes. Although the neural mechanisms underlying these deficits remain unclear, pathological GABAergic signaling likely plays an essential role.

The overarching aims of the FIT Teens multi-site 3-arm comparative effectiveness trial are to assess whether a specialized neuromuscular exercise training intervention combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is superior to CBT alone or graded aerobic exercise alone.
Design/methods: The trial was originally designed as an in-person, group-based treatment with assessments at baseline, mid- and post-treatment, and four follow-up time points.
