Long amplicon nanopore sequencing of and other fungal species present in infected grapevine leaf samples.

is a well-known plant pathogen responsible for grey mould disease infecting more than 500 plant species. It is listed as the second most important plant pathogen scientifically and economically. Its impact is particularly severe in grapes since it affects both the yield of grape berries and the quality of wines.

Air temperature spikes increase bacteria presence in drinking water wells downstream of hog lagoons.

>44 million United States residents depend on private drinking water wells that are federally unregulated. Maintaining a clean groundwater supply for populations without access to public water systems is essential to supporting public health and falls to state regulators and private well owners. Yet, monitoring practices do not reflect the fact that groundwater pollution risk varies seasonally and with proximity to nearby surface-contaminated sites.

Associations of hurricane exposure and forecasting with impaired birth outcomes.

Early forecasts give people in a storm's path time to prepare. Less is known about the cost to society when forecasts are incorrect. In this observational study, we examine over 700,000 births in the path of Hurricane Irene and find exposure was associated with impaired birth outcomes.

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in the Use of Prostate Magnetic Resonance Imaging Following an Elevated Prostate-Specific Antigen Test.

Importance: Prostate cancer screening and diagnosis exhibit known racial and ethnic disparities. Whether these disparities persist in prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) utilization after elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) results is poorly understood.

Objective: To assess potential racial and ethnic disparities in prostate MRI utilization following elevated PSA results.

[STUDY OF ANTIVIRAL AND IMMUNECORRECTIVE EFFECTS OF LAZOLEX IN PATIENTS WITH RECURRENT HERPETIC STOMATITIS].

At present, our country continues intensive research to find and introduce into practice new natural medicinal preparations made from ecologically clean endemic plants of Georgia. An example of such studies in the Iveria-Pharma company is the domestic drug Lazolex (extract of the pericarpium of an unripe walnut), which has passed the necessary preclinical tests and began to be used in the clinic as an antiherpetic agent. On healthy volunteers, we found positive immunotropic effects of Lazolex.
