Review of Outcomes After Peripheral Nerve Transfers for Motor Nerve Injury in the Upper Extremity.

Background: Modern nerve-to-nerve transfers are a significant advancement in peripheral nerve surgery. Nerve transfers involve transferring donor nerves or branches to recipient nerves close to the motor end unit, leading to earlier reinnervation and preservation of the musculotendinous units in proximal nerve injuries. After nerve reinnervation, function may be superior to traditional tendon transfer techniques in terms of strength and independent motion.

The Safety and Efficacy of New DIVA Inactivated Vaccines Against Lumpy Skin Disease in Calves.

Lumpy skin disease virus ( family- genus) is the aetiological agent of LSD, a disease primarily transmitted by hematophagous biting, affecting principally cattle. Currently, only live attenuated vaccines are commercially available, but their use is limited to endemic areas. There is a need for safer vaccines, especially in LSD-free countries.

Domain adaptation through active learning strategies for anomaly classification in wastewater treatment plants.

The increasing use of intermittent aeration controllers in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) aims to reduce aeration costs via continuous ammonia and oxygen measurements but faces challenges in detecting sensor and process anomalies. Applying machine learning to this unbalanced, multivariate, multiclass classification challenge requires much data, difficult to obtain from a new plant. This study develops a machine learning algorithm to identify anomalies in intermittent aeration WWTPs, adaptable to new plants with limited data.

MIBiG 4.0: advancing biosynthetic gene cluster curation through global collaboration.

Specialized or secondary metabolites are small molecules of biological origin, often showing potent biological activities with applications in agriculture, engineering and medicine. Usually, the biosynthesis of these natural products is governed by sets of co-regulated and physically clustered genes known as biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). To share information about BGCs in a standardized and machine-readable way, the Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster (MIBiG) data standard and repository was initiated in 2015.
