Article Synopsis
  • - Homalopsids, or Old World Mud Snakes, consist of 59 semiaquatic species across Asia and Australasia, showcasing various adaptations that make them important for evolutionary biology research.
  • - Recent studies have doubled the recognized diversity of rice paddy snakes (Hypsiscopus), particularly revealing distinct lineages on either side of the Red River Basin in Vietnam, indicating a significant biogeographic barrier.
  • - The study identified that populations west of the Red River Basin are a separate species called H. murphyi, while those to the east are linked to H. wettsteini, demonstrating the need for advanced methods in taxonomy to understand species evolution and distribution.

Objective: The goal of graduate medical education is for trainees to develop the competence needed to practice independently; however, some residents struggle to achieve competency and require remediation. Evidence around how to best facilitate remediation is lacking. The objective of this study was to understand best practices for remediation in pediatrics.

Prenatal multivitamins, including folic acid, are commonly consumed in excess, whereas choline, an essential nutrient and an important source of labile methyl groups, is underconsumed. Here, we characterized profiles of one-carbon metabolism and related pathways and patterns of DNA methylation in offspring exposed to excess or imbalanced micronutrients prenatally. Pregnant Wistar rats were fed either recommended 1× vitamins (RV), high 10× vitamins (HV), high 10× folic acid with recommended choline (HFolRC), or high 10× folic acid with no choline (HFolNC).

The desire to commercialize perovskite solar cells continues to mount, motivating the development of scalable production. Evaluations of the impact of open-air processing have revealed a variety of physical changes in the fabricated devices─with few changes having the capacity to be functionalized. Here, we highlight the beneficial role of ambient oxygen during the open-air thermal processing of metastable γ-CsPbI-based perovskite thin films and devices.
