Long Period Voltage Oscillations Associated with Reaction Changes between CO Reduction and H Formation in Zero-Gap-Type CO Electrochemical Reactor.

Zero-gap-type reactors with gas diffusion electrodes (GDE) that facilitate the CO reduction reaction (CORR) are attractive due to their high current density and low applied voltage. These reactors, however, suffer from salt precipitation and anolyte flooding of the cathode, leading to a short lifetime. Here, using a zero-gap reactor with a transparent cathode end plate, we report periodic voltage oscillations under constant current operation.

Annotated draft genome sequences of KT1a and KT1b strains isolated from dry-aged beef surface.

KT1a and KT1b were isolated and identified in our earlier study as the two dominant fungal species on dry-aged beef. In this study, we report their genome sequences and annotations.

Successful utilization of clozapine for a patient with treatment-resistant schizophrenia after recurrent violent behavior.

Background: In patients with schizophrenia, violent behavior is a clinically important factor that prevents their discharge. Clozapine is an effective antipsychotic medication for treatment-resistant schizophrenia, and its usefulness for aggressive behavior has also been suggested.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 38-year-old male patient diagnosed with schizophrenia who was successfully treated with clozapine after recurrent violent behavior.

Sodium removal per ultrafiltration volume in automated peritoneal dialysis in pediatric patients.

Background: The standard rate of sodium removal in adult anuric patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is 7.5 g/L of ultrafiltration volume (UFV). Although automated PD (APD) is widely used in pediatric patients, no attempt has yet been made to estimate sodium removal in APD.

Single-cell transcriptome landscape of circulating CD4 T cell populations in autoimmune diseases.

CD4 T cells are key mediators of various autoimmune diseases; however, their role in disease progression remains unclear due to cellular heterogeneity. Here, we evaluated CD4 T cell subpopulations using decomposition-based transcriptome characterization and canonical clustering strategies. This approach identified 12 independent gene programs governing whole CD4 T cell heterogeneity, which can explain the ambiguity of canonical clustering.
