Mayaro virus pathogenesis and immunity in rhesus macaques.

Mayaro virus (MAYV) is a mosquito-transmitted alphavirus that causes debilitating and persistent arthritogenic disease. While MAYV was previously reported to infect non-human primates (NHP), characterization of MAYV pathogenesis is currently lacking. Therefore, in this study we characterized MAYV infection and immunity in rhesus macaques.

Photoredox-catalysed hydroaminoalkylation of on-DNA -arylamines.

An efficient approach to the photoredox-catalysed hydroaminoalkylation between on-DNA secondary -substituted (hetero)arylamines and vinylarenes has been developed and explored. The methodology was examined with a broad scope of vinylarenes and secondary arylamines to establish a preferred building block profile for the process. Compatible substrates furnished the desired derivitised amine products in modest to excellent conversions and with minimal or no detectable by-products.

The CAMH Neuroinformatics Platform: A Hospital-Focused Brain-CODE Implementation.

Investigations of mental illness have been enriched by the advent and maturation of neuroimaging technologies and the rapid pace and increased affordability of molecular sequencing techniques, however, the increased volume, variety and velocity of research data, presents a considerable technical and analytic challenge to curate, federate and interpret. Aggregation of high-dimensional datasets across brain disorders can increase sample sizes and may help identify underlying causes of brain dysfunction, however, additional barriers exist for effective data harmonization and integration for their combined use in research. To help realize the potential of multi-modal data integration for the study of mental illness, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) constructed a centralized data capture, visualization and analytics environment-the based on the Ontario Brain Institute (OBI) Brain-CODE architecture, towards the curation of a standardized, consolidated psychiatric hospital-wide research dataset, directly coupled to high performance computing resources.

Several Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serotype 4,5,12:i:- phage types isolated from swine samples originate from serotype typhimurium DT U302.

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, plasmid profiling, and phage typing were used to characterize and determine possible genetic relationships between 48 Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica isolates of pig origin collected in Catalonia, Spain, from 1998 to 2000. The strains were grouped into 23 multidrug-resistant fljB-lacking S.
