Article Synopsis
- The article outlines recent updates to virus taxonomy approved by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) in April 2024.
- The ICTV invited members to vote on 203 taxonomic proposals, resulting in significant additions across various levels, including one new phylum and 3,547 new species.
- The total number of established virus species now stands at 14,690, following the ratification of proposals for species name formatting to the binomial system.
Article Synopsis
- A new method for creating polyurethanes without isocyanates is introduced, using β-amino alcohols synthesized from (R)-(+)-limonene oxide and primary amines in hot water.
- The research explores the selectivity of these reactions through computational studies, particularly focusing on the role of water and the nucleophile in determining reaction outcomes.
- Cyclic carbamates are formed from the β-amino alcohols, leading to an oligourethane via Anionic Ring-Opening Polymerization, with thorough characterization performed using H and C NMR spectroscopies.
Background: Recently, peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) has emerged as a possible predictor of Cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) in cancer patients (CP), in addition to left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS). Thus, considering the link between left atrium and left ventricle, the aim of this study was to assess the global atrio-ventricular strain (GAVS) in CP, to detect early cardiotoxicity.
Methods: A prospective study was carried out enrolling 131 breast cancer women (mean age 51.
Objective: Anxiety sensitivity (AS), the trait-like fear of symptoms of anxiety, has been associated with eating disorder (ED) pathology broadly, bulimia nervosa (BN) symptoms specifically, and the anxiety disorders that are commonly comorbid with BN. AS, especially for physical symptoms specifically, maybe a risk and maintenance factor for BN and comorbid anxiety.
Method: Adult participants with BN (n = 44) in a clinical trial comparing CBT to mindfulness and acceptance-based treatment (MABT) reported ED symptoms, trait anxiety, and AS through treatment and follow-up.
